The Rest of the Presents....

So, today is Dan's birthday! Woo Hoo! Here is the rest of the goodness that he got/is getting.

We woke up and made Omelets.(Similar to this. We prefer cheese,tomato, bacon and ham in ours. I like egg whites -- Dan likes the whole egg.)


Then we opened presents. On top of the movies he got these....
(Similar -- not exact)


and tonight we are having....

He's a pretty happy man... but, it sure sounds good to me too! :)

Count Down To Dan's Birthday!

9 Days.

I'm really glad we went over some of our friends house for dinner on Saturday because Dan is sometimes, really hard to shop for. However, due to a totally spontaneous conversation of Dan making fun of how many chic-flicks we own (I disagree -- they are just romantic comedies....) I decided to get him this...





Yeah, basically -- I'm a good wife. I'll even watch them with him (or at the very least fall asleep on the sofa with him as he watches them!)

Oh -- but, I don't know what else to get him. Any ideas are welcomed!

P.S. Dan doesn't read blogs -- unless I point something out to him... so, if you talk to him. Don't spill the beans.

My Sweet Husband

I went home to Raleigh last weekend without Dan. He had 2 finals on Saturday and was going to be busy from 11 am - 6 pm. I don't know anyone in Charlotte well enough to say, "Wanna hang out ALL day"? So... I went home. The trip isn't bad and I actually had a great visit with my family and my bestest. It was fun.

On the drive home I thought of what Dan would have waiting for me. When we first got married he used to bring me home flowers every couple of months or watermelons (if they were is season. I love watermelon so, it was very sweet of him). Anyhow, I figured it out. When I got home Dan would have flowers and chocolate waiting for me.



And guess what! I was absolutely, 100% WRONG. What did I actually come home too? How about a dirty pan on the stove (not even in the sink), an unmade bed and a husband who hadn't shaved or done his hair for two days.

However, he was watching for me out the window and when I pulled into our apartment complex he did jump on the windshield of my car....

I love him.... even if there wasn't any Chocolate or Flowers.

100 Days (Tomorrow)

So, we only have 100 days left (hypothetically... I'm still rooting for the middle of March so, we'll see).

100 days doesn't seem like a long time but, I've experienced waiting 100 days before. Just a little over a year ago, actually.

Dan proposed on a Tuesday, June 19th 5:00 a.m. (JERK). We got married on Saturday, September 29th Not at 5:00 in the morning. We were engaged for 100 days exactly, 100 long stressful, fun, exciting, seemed like the 29th was never going to get here days.... and now, I'm back to square one. 100 days left.

I know I can do it. I've done it before. I just don't like it. *SIGH*

Today.....

I want to snuggle under our big soft comforter, in my freezing cold apartment, with my sweet husband.... but instead -- I'm at work.... loving on a cute little boy!

I am not sure which one is better.



P.S. Yes, that is his sisters leopard Halloween costume. :)

And We Laugh...

Last week was weird (and good).





One of my dear dear friends -- Etienne -- came and slept on our couch for a week. I hadn't seen her in 2 years (permission) and really missed her. Etienne is one of the funnest people I know and the summer she spent in NC was one of my favorite. It was good because most of my friends had gotten married so, to have someone new to hang out with was well needed. Anyhow, Etienne was supposed to stay for a while -- through the summer -- but, due to hear lack of job she found herself on the road heading to DC. What a bummer... but, we did manage to play a little before she left.





On Saturday we went to COMEDYWORX (with and X). It was an amazing show -- but, I previewed the line-ups...so, I had no doubt about that! Let me tell you we ended up having a group of 9 -- and we all laughed and had a great time.

Here we are...

Then a picture of me and some of my BESTEST*! (Rachel, Me (if you are reading my blog,I hope you that that) and Sofia).

You know -- to piggy back on Rachel's post I really do have some of the best friends and defiantly the best husband.

* I know "bestest" isn't a word -- but, I wanted to use it.

It has been a while since a "real" post. Why? For several reasons. First of all, the big things going on in Dan and I's life are not really things that we are ready to open up to the world and post about and the second is because I have been super busy! But, even that being said, there isn't to much going on.





Dan and I are getting ready to go on a Pioneer Trek with the Raleigh (NC) Stake which we are both a little too excited about it. I have amazing endurance and love doing things like this (as does Dan but, apparently, I am only talking about myself today... HA).




Also, I let my mother cut my hair... I wouldn't mention this if it weren't a significant event in my life. My mom always cuts Dan hair -- and even my younger sister's and does a great job. However, I was not as lucky and have an appointment to day to get it "fixed". Fixing it will require a great amount of the length the be gone but, Dan is sure it will look cute. I am hoping (at this point that is really the only option I have) that I look adorable with short hair. BOO!

I'll post more after the Trek -- I am sure.

Husband Tag

Cat tagged me for this... (a while ago)! I'm excited. I LOVE talking about us... (but, isn't that why we all blog?)

Just like Montell Jordan...

"THIS IS HOW WE DO IT..."

Yesterday....

I gave our cat a bath. Dan said, "She smells so bad." So, while he was at work, I bravely put her in the tub and attempted to shampoo her. Funny thing is... She didn't mind all that much.
