2. I would not trade ANYTHING for my night time snuggle time with my baby. We lay in the dark telling stories, his little arm wrapped around my neck giggling and playing with our shadows. He showers me with hugs and kisses right before he drifts off into the dreamers land. It’s the most precious of times and I cherish them so.
(Just look at those beautiful eye lashes, my my my. He gets them from his daddy, lucky boys.)3. We have so much “work” stuff coming up. When I say that I don’t necessarily mean work for us to do- but it very well could develop into that. We are getting our car fixed from all the hail damage at the end of this month and they are gonna have my car for two weeks, TWO WEEKS, what in the WORLD am I gonna do? I guess we shall see, I’m sure we’re to figure something out. Also, in a couple weeks we are having someone come who finishes out basements to take a look at ours and give us an estimate. We would love to have part of it finished out to have a family room/movie room, as well as a spot for my scrapbooking, plus it would really only add more value to our home, which is a plus in itself. More than likely if and when we do close in, the hubby and I will be the ones doing it…that’s just how we roll.
4. I can’t remember if I posted about our garden at the beginning of summer or not, so if I didn’t, then…we planted a garden at the beginning of summer. It’s doing so great, with all the storms I was a little concerned, but we do in fact have some produce. The smallest little squash are forming, we have the cutest little baby cukes and our watermelons are shooting up like crazy. It’s kinda exciting watching them grow (I told you it doesn’t take much for me, lol).
5. My kid cracks me up. He is already a jokester just like his daddy and papa. He rattles off the funniest of things. This morning he woke me up with his usual whispery sweet “Good Morning” with his eyes barely open. Although, I has to be said that it doesn’t take him long at all to be geared up and ready to face the day ahead. A midst our morning bed conversation and play- out of nowhere he says, “I love you, booby momma!” I busted out laughing, that little grin crossed his face as I told him how funny and sweet he was. I think that may be the funniest thing I have heard recently…I just love him.
6. I think that it would be super fun to take ballroom dance lessons with my hubby. It’s something I have always wanted to do. I think there is something so magical, so romantic about it. He mentioned this morning that today’s daily deal on living social was three private dance lessons-teaching the waltz, the new swing and the cha-cha for $25.00. That’s a great deal, seeing as it’s like a bazillion percent off the normal pricing of like $396.00 (say what?!?). I kinda wanted to jump on it and say, “yea, lets do it!” But then I thought maybe it’s something we will do when we’re older. It seems more fitting for then, for what I imagine that time in our life to be like.
7. It may be crazy, but I’m already thinking about the kiddo’s birthday, the party more specifically. It’s only six months away and a great party takes a lot of thought and a lot of preparation. I am one for tiny details and doing things a bit different. (Really crazy confession?!? (I don’t think so) I already have a few parties for the future started planning, thinking about really- they really great ideas if I do say so myself. Maybe one day I will get paid to plan parties, how awesome that would be!). Trust me when I say that I’m not trying to rush it by no means, because when it’s here that means that my baby will be three years old and that just doesn’t seem real. I find myself on a daily basis getting choked up with momma tears just looking at him, seeing how tall he is, how much older he looks, it keeps me quiet emotional. I’m just like that; I have always been a sap- more so now than ever, since becoming a momma. What an honor to witness another life unfold, it’s the greatest gift I have ever been given.
8. I’m excited about the possibility of selling my old camera tonight. I put it on craigslist yesterday and we are meeting a couple tonight. At the beginning of the year I upgraded to a newer and better model (the Canon D60)- I love it so much, I loved my Xsi- but honestly, now that love doesn’t even compare, lol. I picked up the Xsi last night to get everything together and test it out- making double sure everything was still in great working order and I cannot believe the difference in the two. It’s SO small, my hands swallow it up- the picture quality is significantly better (It should be for the price difference, lol). Since upgrading, my Xsi has just been sitting in the bag- in the closet and it needs some love, seriously. Therefore, I decided to pass it on to a home that will love it as much as I once did. It does make me a little sad to be passing it on, because I’m sentimental- but money is sweet too, especially when it’s just sitting in the closet doing nothing for me. I almost feel bad for saying that about it, it’s been so good to me. It shall be a great love, departed.
9. I am so happy to write that I am a twenty pounds less Crystal. I am the smallest I have been in who knows how long- maybe…sixteen years old?!? I honestly have no idea, I can’t remember. What a shame to admit that, but that’s not the point. I am really happy- and continuing on, I’m not stopping here. I look back at pictures and I think to myself WTH was I thinking letting myself get like that? WTH well my hubby thinking letting me get like that? (I give him a hard time ALL THE TIME about that, bless his heart.) I was simply ridiculous, honestly. I don’t ever want to be there again, ever. I pray that I always have the strength and motivation to be healthier and smaller. I don’t want to be obsessed and overcome with it, but I do want to have a healthy balance between the two. There are times I find myself beating myself up if I feel like I have slipped up and I HATE that (with a passion), because I don’t feel like that’s a healthy lifestyle (for me). Along with strength and motivation I pray for a healthy and happy balance.
10. This summer (June-July- like as in now) one of our local theaters, on Tuesday and Wednesday morning are showing free movies, FREE!!! How awesome is that?!? and it’s not bad movies either, its really good kiddie movies, recent ones. I am really excited about not only having family dates that are free but a few one on one dates with my boy. I think it’s really cool that they are offering this to families, I think it’s a really great idea. Speaking of family dates, we have one planned in the near future, not free but a much anticipated one. Cars 2 (I guess I should say "Gitchow 2" comes out on June 24th and the kiddo is REALLY excited about going to the movies and seeing it, and I must admit so are we.
