I'm Taking it back!

I am excited about our date night,I know that this is something we need to make time for, however we just don't do that like we should. I think thats why I am so looking forward to going out tonight just the 2 of us. I really miss they days when we used to work together and go home together, we were together all of the time and even though people need time away from each other and stuff, I haven't felt as close as we were then. I hope that I can make this a new ritual and feel that type of bond we used to have again. I hate how life comes in and takes over and then before you know it life owns you! I'm taking it back!
I love you Nick!

This one's for you Daniel!

OK so it's been FOREVER since I have been on here. School started for the kids, work started for me, then life has rubbed its slimy self all over too!
  After a momentary lapse of judgement I signed up in march to run Beachpalooza waaaaayyy in September, I started training and was getting into it, then summer hit, and I checked out! However, September came anyway and I ran the race and had a blast, Warrior Dash is next on the list! March 17th its mud time!!!
     I have 2 friends who announced their pregnancies shortly before summer and I thought "Hey! I know I'll make them baby quilts!!" yeah and it was over. I looked all over for about 3 months for fabrics to math their themes, and FINALLY found some.  Wouldn't you know it, that as soon as I sat down and started one baby, who shall remain nameless, greeted us about 3 weeks early!!! I hadn't even started his quilt at the time because I knew I had more time and the other baby was due before him. Well I feverishly started sewing away on his blanket and then baby number 2 who was baby number 1 came a week early also! Stress, stress, stress and I'm not even the new mommy! Lesson that I learned you ask? Let the blankets be a surprise next time! That way there's no stress! Anyway, I'm almost finished and I had fun making them! My machine has even been cooperating!
  I recently even checked out a few books from the Harris County Public Library! I must have been feeling ill, because the first book I read... Hamlet, by THE William Shakespeare! I know I go from reading People magazine to that?! Something must be wrong! I read it and I enjoyed it! *Pat on the back*
Ya know after that crazy summer with no rain and HUGE water and electric bills, In August I gave up watering my watermelons and tomatoes etc, figuring they would never make it; but lo & behold I have had 4 watermelons grow and about a billion tomatoes. So now I feel like they were just screwing with me, however I am pretty sure I will be the only one with a winter watermelon harvest! In case you are wondering, I am willing to part with them for a mere $40 bucks a melon! :)
That's no where near all from my side but that's all I will bore you with in this blog!
I'll be posting pics of the blankets and in a few weeks, its CHRISTMAS TREE FARM day!!!! Yay! Hay ride, tire rolls, smores, hot cider, and of course the picking and cutting down of our Christmas tree! I can't believe its November already! And only 3 more days till an extra hour!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
Talk to yall later!
