lame lame lame

took a little blogging hiatus the last couple of weeks.

honestly, got a little bored with it. but i'm back at it.

here's life as of right now

little bug: the cutest monster ever. sleeping through the night consistently. throws tantrums over nothing, eats like its her last meal, and runs into everything. trying to teach her what no means- so far, completely unsuccessful. however, she has completely mastered the stairs, going up. going down, she still thinks she can walk down every time, and someone will catch her. she thinks she is the funniest thing around and has developed quite the chuckle. LOVES the pool, bathtime, and anything involving water.

the hubby: still my bestest friend. working two jobs, getting ready for a heavy semester come fall, and lookin' good. (lost some weight- so proud of him!) getting close to finishing school, but will be prolonging it just a little longer to add a coaching minor to the exercise science major. its going to be a long, tough year until that happens, but so worth it in the end. egd (estimated graduation date: december 2010).

moi: same old, same old. decided that i am done with school for the time being- on campus anyways. i'm not far off, and it will get done (promise! i know, trust me i know how important education is) will likely be taking some online classes, but for now i just want to be a mommy. it brings the greatest joy in life, and the few hours that i do spend at work each week i really miss playing with little monster.

in other news: we sold our corolla, manny. it was sad to see it go, but now we get bikes! which i am pretty excited about. now just to my little corolla from high school.

my little sister sarah spent the last two weeks out here nannying for a friend. it was so fun to have her around a couple times! we had a sibling dinner one sunday, and it is so sad to think that this will be one of the last times this will happen for two years! my little bro marsh is getting ready to leave for brazil in just a few short weeks. which brings me to the next few weeks...

heres the scoop:

all the sibs are flying out next week for: a wedding reception at the homestead for a good friend from high school/last time together for two years/time to spend with future sister-in-law/marshall's farewell at church/vacation. will be a slam-packed weekend, but we don't do these things any other way except for jam-packed.
the day after i get back, the hubster goes to his homestead in nc with the monster for a week with his fam. most of them haven't met claire yet, so we decided it needed to happen sooner rather than later.
the week after that = two years of married bliss for us
the week after that= start of school

the end of summer is approaching a little too quickly..... you had better believer that i will be hanging on to the last golden rays as long as possible. now if only we can put off the snow as long as last year, i will be just fine (that was claire's birthday, in november that we had the first snow.)

maybe i'll find some pictures or a video or something for later. now off to work.
