My Beautiful Days

Please forgive me for being away - but it was a busy, busy weekend! Friday night was family movie night - we rented a movie and relaxed together, it was so great! Saturday I got the chance to finally meet my bloggy friend, Christy, and three of her kids - what a wonderful time that was! We were able to chat and play and enjoy lunch while they were here and it was every bit as wonderful as I anticipated it would be! After they left, we kicked it into high gear and cleaned cleaned cleaned the house, as we had our first showing on Saturday. Once the house was clean, we headed out to the Incredible Festival (a.k.a. the local fair). We spent a few hours there letting the kids ride the rides, chatting with some of our friends and wiping off the sweat from an insanely hot day! Yikes it was hot! After a few hours in the heat, we headed back home so Monte and I could wash up and head to his 25 year class reunion! Yep, that's right, my love graduated high school when I was almost si...

Errr .. wisdom TEETH. That's right, this morning I had them taken out. I will admit to being incredibly scared on the way in, as I had never been put under anestetia (sp?) before. Thankfully I have an amazing husband who was reminding me that "God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind". Walking into the room was nerve wracking, the doctor said a bunch of mumbo jumbo that I don't remember, and then they gave me the anestetia. Next thing I know, I'm waking up and Monte is sitting next to me, just waiting for me to come around :) So, all in all, it really wasn't bad! Now, I'm at home in bed, eating a lot of ice cream and watching Friends on DVD. I'm sleepy and about to conk out, but just wanted to update for those who were waiting to find out how it went! Pain is minimal. Not really swollen at all. Content, at least :)

I have completely amazing news: Colin went poop in the toilet!!!! Yessssssssssss .... finally :) (Claire is telling me she wishes that I had taken a picture of it to put it on here for all of you. Thankfully, I am going to spare you the pretty details!)

You know when it's coming - you can feel it building under your skin even before it shows it's ugly face. You've been stressed out, had a little too much on your plate, and now you know that you're REALLY going to have something awful to show for it. Then it happens - the zit of the century pops out on your face and it seems like there's nothing you can do to get rid of it. You? Oh no, wait, that's right - this is happening to ME! Ugh. 10 days before my wedding, I have a monsterous zit on the side of my nose - bulging over my eye (and making my nose appear to be twice its normal size!) and I can't seem to get rid of it! Whatever is a woman to do?!!! :)
