Updates

So the baby is doing well! She is 4 months today - I just can't believe it. I don't even remember (or want to) life without her! She is doing soo good. She has just started this week with TONS of talking and gibbering. She loves her Tigger! She chews on it all the time. She is doing pretty well at sleeping through the night - she usually goes to bed around 10 pm and gets up between 5 and 6. Besides that, she is starting to grab things, especially her bottle. She is sleeping in her crib now, we started that about 2 weeks ago. She actually seems to like it a lot.

We went to Boo at the Zoo this past Sunday with my parents and my sister and brother-in-law. It was a lot of fun! We just put the baby in a onesies that said my first halloween. But this coming SUnday is trick or treat in our neighborhood so we are going to dress her in a real costume - she is going to be Tigger. I can't wait! Lots of pictures will be taken :)

Not much else going on just working and working. Ben is doing a lot of the same. Not too much time for anything else! But that's ok - loving every minute of it. 

San Antonio Bound

Well I will be leaving on Tuesday for San Antonio for work. I am going there for a tradeshow for one of our distributors like I did back in May when I went to Daytona Beach. I'm excited because I'm going with another co-worker and all of our field people will be there! I can't wait to see all them, I don't think I've seen some of them since January! I'm VERYYYYY nervous about flying as I always am but hopefully everything will go ok. I don't know why but I hate flying (well I do...my birthday is 9/11 and I'm just not ok with flying really anymore). We do have a layover which makes things harder but I will be going with my coworker so he should keep me sane. I'm sure I will have lots of pictures when I come back on Saturday!

Not much else is going on...our A/C went out...plans are still in the works on what we are doing with that. All I can say is we are HOT. Luckily, Ben's aunt and uncle are out of town right now and let us borrow their window a/c while they are gone. And once htey come home we should be able to borrow his grandparents for another week to at least keep our bedroom cool. It's just miserable for our doggies though. I can deal with it, it's them I feel bad for :(

We are just taking everything else one day at a time, money continues to be a huge struggle (hence why the A/C thing is still in the works). I just keep prayin that one day it will be ok, and we won't have to worry about money. I feel like when we really need it though it is there so that's all I can be thankful for right now.

As far as my weight loss, I'm down around 19 lbs now. I slipped today some and maybe a little yesterday but it was hot and I needed ice cream! :) But I'm happy with where I am at and I am hoping to be able to watch myself while we are in San Antonio. If not, I will resume when I get back. I hope to be able to work out some while I'm there, most likely I will be indoors on the treadmill though! Its forecasted to be at least 100 or more the whole time we are there.

And finally, I forgot to post last weekend - my mom's birthday was Sunday! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MOM! We are going to have dinner here when it cools down!



Well, I need to get off here and finish packing! Have a great week everyone!

Strike!

So I remembered what I was going to post about! Bowling with my parents last weekend. It's something that we haven't done in a while, and never with my parents, but it was a good time. And free courtesy of a few gift cards that my mom had. Plus there's enough left to go back again! Even better...I won the second game :)

Chrissy and Waynes Baby Shower and Dinner for Anniversary

So today was a very busy day for us! First up, we had Chrissy and Wayne's baby shower. She is due May 14th. It was a very cute baby shower - their room is jungle themed so their were jungle decorations everywhere! They also had tons of games - guess when the baby will be born, finding hidden eggs, guess the number of diapers in the bowl, the women got to match baby socks for prizes (which I won!) and lots of other fun things. It was mostly her family but there were some friends there too that we know so it made for a good time. We are wishing them both good luck!

Next up, we had dinner reservations with my parents at 5 pm for our anniversary dinner. Our anniversary isn't really until tomorrow but my mom is leaving for out of town so we did it tonight. It is a very fancy restaurant out by my parents house called Lannings. The food was pretty good and the service was wonderful. It was pricey but my parents had gift certificates so it wasn't that bad. We had a good time!

And last but not least my wonderful anniversary present, my anniversary band that matches my wedding band :) I love it! I wasn't sure if I was going to get it but I did. I love my hubby!
