Sad News

My grandma passed away on Feb. 13. I got an e-mail from my uncle letting me know. Guess I'll never know when my other grandma passes away (if she hasn't already).

Mental note to all: Should I die before my parents or my siblings, they are not allowed at my funeral nor do I want them to receive news of my death either. They don't deserve to grieve for me.

Here's a post for ya

...since I've noticed how bad I've slacked off on this blogging business.

We're down to just over a week before z and I get married and run away to Mexico to enjoy the beach and sun. I can't remember if I said this already but the place that we're going is the same place that we went to a couple years ago. I didn't realize it then because they were cleaning the pools, but this place has dolphins that you can watch and pet. Isn't that cool! I can't wait to be there enjoying the time of being alone with only Keith and the tropical beauty of the ocean.

We were going to try to go tanning a couple times before going but we'll see if we make it that far.

I'm worried about leaving Baby K. I know she'll be in good hands but I'm still gonna miss her!!

Funny! (click pic to enlarge)

Quick update

Our family is doing good.  A. and K. both have friends in our neighborhood.  =)   K.'s friend moved in last week and lives next door.  z went to school with both her parents.  Oh yeah, and he went to school with A.'s friends mom.  K.'s friend's family has three or four kids and one is K.'s age and the other is N.'s age.  It's great to have kids around that are the same age as ours!  This is a first for us!!

 

N. is on the verge of learning how to do everything right now.  A couple weeks ago she rolled over twice, she hasn't done it again since but I'm sure she's not too far from doing it more.  Plus she's getting close to sitting up by herself.  She laughed for us the other day.  It was so cute!  She's such a doll!  She weighs 15 pounds these days!  This baby is growing up way too quick!

Working out...hooray!

I've decided that it's time for me to get in shape again and I'm happy to report that Denise Austin and I have grown up together!  Years ago I did her tapes and loved the excercises but hated how overly cheerful she is.  Seriously, it should be a crime!  I bought one of her dvd's this weekend remembering the bittersweet feelings I hold for her and was happy to find that now she's older (like me) and while still cheerful, not so cheerful you want to choke her.  If only you could excercise once and be skinny again! 

Catching Up

Well I haven't blogged in a while (thanks to the no internet at home thing...kind of sucks!) so I thought I would catch the world up on our lives.  z has been working tons of overtime.  He finally has a few days off (thank goodness) and I finally get to remember who he is since I haven't seen him in weeks!  My work schedule and his work schedule make it so that I get to see him a few minutes before I leave for work in the mornings and not at all at night.  It sucks to see him so little!  Normally this schedule is just for the first part of the week but when he works overtime it makes it all week long and at least half the weekend as well. 

 

We just had some new neighbors move in and guess what...they have a daughter A.'s age!  Yay for friends!  As it turns out, z went to school with half of our neighborhood, including this girls mom.  I met her yesterday, she's nice.  A. went to her first young women's activity in our own neighborhood.  She liked it a lot.  Hopefully she can make friends there so she has some that live close enough to walk to their houses.

 

K. is as crazy as ever.  Last night when A. was gone, K. and I were playing tag.  It was a lot of fun but wore me out!  I think that our next door neighbor's have a girl her age if they ever get their house done. 

N. is cute as ever!  She acts like she's almost ready to sit up.  She's such a cutie.

 

And that's all I have time for, gotta get my job done here at work.  See you all later!

UTA all the way!!

Today was my first bus ride ever.  It wasn't so bad!  Thanks to my phone's GPS I was able to find the bus stop even faster than the normal way I would have taken.  I was 10 minutes earlier than the bus I was planning on taking so I got on, saw how crowded it was, found a seat, and people watched my way to work.  The bus nearly emptied when we got to the church office buildings.  Overall it was an enjoyable experience.  No fighting traffic, no swearing at people that cut you off; sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.  This will be my new way to work on Thursdays and Fridays at least.  I have a friend here at work that rides the same bus (although I didn't see her on mine this morning) who will show me where to catch the bus when it's time to leave.  How exciting, I know!  ;)
