Day Twenty
27 days ago we bought this suitcase and i packed it with all i needed for italy.
26 days ago it stopped in paris.
i hoped and prayed it would come.
i gave up hope it would come.
i bought several replacement items.
i waited for my refund money.
16 days ago i returned to the U.S.
today it returned to me.
Day Four
simple dinner of sandwiches. nick always knows how to make something so simple taste so good.
Day Two
chris and kim. engaged and so in love.
nick directed some of the session and hit them with sticks when they didn't behave.
i think i like working solo best.
celebrating 5 years
let's pretend i wrote this last weekend. when it was actually our anniversary...
five years ago i married the man of my dreams. five years. the first little milestone. ok, maybe the second. year one is the first i suppose.
five years ago...
i was tan! look at that picture. wow. my years of tanning beds are long gone. i should really see a dermatologist.
i had only left the country once before. nick took me to italy when we were engaged. now my travels include barbados, argentina, ...
one year invites
can you believe it? mariah turns one in twelve days! it's flown by. i miss those itty bitty newborn days, but i love seeing her little personality, hearing her sweet voice, and getting slobbery kisses.
these are the invites i made for her party in two weeks. i found cheap notecards at target on clearance and added the paper to the front. the nice cursive is nick's. mine's still stuck in fifth grade - the last time i used it. i hand wrote the information on the inside which took quite ...
back breaking
well p90x has taken quite the toll on nick. thanks to the yoga we did on thursday, he's out of commission. seriously. he woke up the morning after we did only 30 minutes of the 1.5 hours we were supposed to do.
while he's been in pain every time he moves positions and i really do feel bad for him, there's a little part of me that get's excited because it means i win at yoga. but that little part is quickly shut down when i have to do the rest of p90x alone. and then it's silenced again when ...
P90X
here i go again. writing about weight loss. if you recall, i've talked about it {here}, {here}, {here} and even {here}. so i write about it a lot? big deal!
oh wait, it is a big deal. i want to be back to at least my pre-pregnancy weight (i'm stuck at 10lbs. to go) and i'd LOVE to be the same size i was when i got married. and it's totally possible. i just have to put in the effort. i need a plan. i need motivation.
i think i found the solution.
the plan: {p90x}.
i look at ...
valentines day recap
i need to step it up when it comes to valentines day....nick always wins. he has the best presents and plans. maybe it's because the things i want aren't phones, computers and other gadgets that don't fit the budget. he did a great job again this year.
he bought me an orchid! i've been wanting one for years, but afraid to buy one since i'm a plant killer. this one is gorgeous and is the perfect addition to our home, so i need to take extra special care of it. apparently the kind i have is ...
