Happy Monday all! I hadn't realized it's been so long since I've blogged. What a slacker I am! Had a great Valentine weekend. We have never celebrated Valentine's day before, but we decided to this year. The pastor at a church told the guys 5 things they needed to do for valentines day and Ryan did all of them except 1! He called and asked me out on a date like he did when we were dating. it was so sweet..he acted all shy and silly. then some friends watched Hannah and he took me out to olive garden and to see along came polly. entertaining movie, but i didn't feel the chemistry b/t ben and jennifer. and then he wrote me this sweet letter that made me cry and gave me my christmas/valentines day gift. it was a 1 hour massage which he has gotten me before and it's the best massage ever! and then he got me a night away in a hotel just by myself and i have to use them both on the same day. i can't wait! i'll miss Hannah, but it will be great to get away and spend some time with God and of course sleep! :) ryan and i couldn't believe that this was only our second date away from hannah. we realized it's because she's still at an age where we can take her places and she's so good we hardly know she's there. it's such a blessing though to have a group of friends where we can swap sitter time. i was talking with a friend of mine who works with ladies that have to pay their sitter like $7/hr, and they also buy them pizza for dinner and then you have the cost of your date too. you can easily drop $100 a night! i decided that Ryan needed a valentine's day gift too so I wrote him a little note as well and bought him 2 cigars. One was a new one for him that the guy recommended, so hopefully he'll like it.
it's still cold here in kentucky, but this thurs and friday it's supposed to get up to the 50's. i can't wait for spring to get here. i'm starting to get stir crazy not being able to take Hannah outside. i bundled her up yesterday and tried to take her and reeces on a walk, but the wind was so cold that we only made it to the sidewalk and had to come inside. this summer we are going to myrtle beach with 3 other couple friends and their little girls. it's going to be so crazy and fun. we'll have 8 adults and 2 girls about 14-15 months and 2 babies 8-9 months. the thought of the sun and beach is what keeps me going. of course the thought of me in a bathing suit doesn't keep me going, but hopefully will motivate me to lose the rest of this baby fat. but i am realzing more and more how much little control i have over my mind. whenever I set boundaries on myself my mind immediately rebels and wants to break the boundaries and i usually give in. for example, ryan and i are trying to watch what we spend since i am not working much and when i do it usually takes my boss like 6 months to pay me. so what do i do..i've been spending money like crazy lately. it's on stuff that i use, but it's also stuff I could have waited for. except i was really bad and went in debt on my allowance again just as i finally was caught up and bought some cd's. the music club i belong too keep sending me these emails trying to get me to buy again since it's been a while and the deals keep getting better and better. so they sent me this one where if i buy the featured selection i could get 2 free cd's. i have never heard of the group before, but i listened to a few clips and it had a good beat, so i bought it and third day offerings 2, and everyday sunday. the other one was thousand foot crutch ..anyone heard of them? they have a rock/hip hop sound. hopefully it's a good one. my other weakness is with food. whenever i tell myself that i need to stop eating so much, i end up eating more. what is my problem???!!!!! so this week i decided that i am going to fast from all flavored drinks and only drink water. i need to get control. so we'll see how that goes.
well i can see i babbled on and on again and i haven't even gotten to hannah yet! :) she's doing great. so cute and fun and she keeps getting more fun each week. i don't know what she was doing last i posted, but her newest things are rolling over from tummy to back and blowing rasperries. we are working on rolling from back to tummy and sitting up. she's almost there. i'll post some more pictures soon. she's been a bit fussy lately and we think she may be teething. it seems so early, but i know of a couple of babies who got their first teeth at 4 months so i guess it's possible. i see little white dots on her gums, but it's hard to say if they are teeth or if it has always been there.
well i guess i better stop avoiding work. i have a problem that i am having a hard time solving so what do i naturally do..avoid the problem by not working! man do i have issues! :) i guess we all struggle with that from time to time. except of course for my freak of a husband who never seems to struggle with will power. but oh well i digress.
oh and i have already told tracey this, but mary you will be happy to know that i got rid of my wedding stuff! it felt good and i don't think i will miss them. and mary be thinking about august sometime to see bob again! tracey told me you start so early like the 13th, so we'll make sure we come out there before then. maybe even the end of July.
peace all!
