I'm grateful for date nights. I'm grateful to have family and friends around us that can watch Ben so this is possible. But more over, I am grateful for my husband. We had a WONDERFUL night last night. Delinda and Jen came over to hang out with Benny. And the Terry's gave us a gift card to a fancy-schmancy restaurant for Christmas, so we first went there for dinner. It was a NICE place... I think we may have been a tad bit under dressed, but luckily we fit with in the "Dress Code"! We had a wonderful dinner; calamari, cheeseburger, steak and the BEST Caesar salad I've EVER had... seriously. We sat close to each other and had good conversation and cuddled. Afterward we had tickets from my work to go to a Thrashers game (hockey) at Philips Arena in the Suite seats. I was a little "eh" at first about going to a hockey game, but it was actually A LOT of fun! It was cold in the arena so it gave Ryan and I a good excuse to cuddle a lot and enjoy each other. It was just a good reminder for me of why I love him so much and how important it is that we spend US time together. Yes, Ben is a our little sunshine- but our relationship is so important and it will determine the health of our family. It's also good for Ben to hang out with his Aunt and for her to be able to spend some one on one time with him. So... it was a $35 date (tip for the waiter and parking) and SO much fun. I am so grateful we had that time together... I can't explain how much it meant to me. I LOVE MY HUSBAND!
I also got my hair cut yesterday, three inches! It feels great! I've decided that I need to not let it get that long again. And I've also decided it's hard (for me anyway) to find a good hair stylist. I had one I really liked and she upped and moved to UT... of all places. HA... just kidding. Luckily the other people in the salon she was at are still good and I can still go there. It's a swanky little hip place... so I enjoy going.
Also... sad, but understandable news... our "Week of Andrea" will have to postponed until a later unknown date. She has to tend to some family goings on- and not so great ones unfortunately. And that is MUCH more important and I only wish the best for her and her family. We love you Ang and Sister Green.
Today was a BEAUTIFUL Easter Sunday. We went to church and had a restless tired boy who couldn't sit still. Afterwards we went over to Ryan's parents house. Ben was somewhat grumpy today... ONE 20 MINUTE NAP IS NOT SUFFICIENT for a walking, busy, growing boy. Hence his bed time at 6:45pm tonight! He's usually a really good sleeper, but not today. Oh well, I count my blessings everyday for how well behaved and happy he usually is. He's walking really well now, and can get himself into a standing position all by his self. He's still a little drunken looking, but loves to get around!
I've been a little nostalgic this evening. I am looking for a picture of my mom from when she was about 3 years old, and I can't find it- BUT in the process of looking, I did find A LOT of old pictures from high school, of when I lived in my first apartment in Provo, Lilith Fair in my Bug (that's you Jessica)... I have to include it. That was a fun night... going like 20 MPH up the hill to Park City!!!! My poor VW Bug was running on 2 cylinders or something crazy like that and so we had to drive in the emergency lane because we were going TOO slow! But we made it! We got there!
Anyway, that's all for now I guess. Happy Easter to all, and to all a good night!
