New Room

Last mother's day Ben painted our spare bedroom pink and blue. He wanted to let me know how serious he was about starting a family. It was a sweet gesture but it was to much pink and to much blue. We named it the pink and blue room. We finally painted it the other day a more neutral color. Ben thinks it a boring color.

I am thinking about taking up quilting as a hobby and make the spare bedroom a quilt room. But I really do not have the time to quilt. Or I was thinking about making it Sandy's room. Some place she can keep all of her toys.
I haven't decided what to do with it. It will probably end up as a catch all room.

Next room to paint is our living room. Ben thinks it looks like a green olive. It is painted a mustard yellow color with a green accent wall. I have to admit that the mustered color was not what I was going for. I really wanted a light tan color. It was such a pain painting the room the first time that I can't get myself to repaint it.

VDay

I hope everybody had a awesome Valentines Day. I sure did! Ben took me to see Shopaholic. I am sure it was a great sacrifice for him but, he did it for love. He's my hero, most guys wouldn't go see a chick flick. Now to the funny part of the evening. After I got done changing for our date I noticed that my shirt wasn't fitting right. I looked in the mirror, nothing looked odd. Oh well, I thought and off to the movie we went. I sat down at the movie theater and I touched the front of my collar on my shirt and to my surprise there was my tag. I had my shirt on backwards! How embarrassing you think but, I had on a shirt that looked the same on the front and back, nobody even noticed. I went and switched my shirt around and tada it feels better.

Weekend

We went to LA for Ry's wedding. It was really nice even though it rained off and on. I am glad Ry was able to find someone that makes him happy. 3 down only 2 more to go.


LA is a very interesting place and I can't wait to go back and do the real touristy things. We went to Vince Beach and I had to touch the Pacific Ocean. Ben and I wanted our picture taken by the water but we ended up standing to close to it and a big wave came in and I got soaked. I about lost my feet to frost bite. That ocean is sooooo cold.

We also went to Disneyland and California Adventure. I was a little worried about riding all the rides, with me just having surgery. But everything turned out just fine. I got the highest score on the buz light year ride! Which is a big deal because I beat all the brothers.

Snow Day

The snow brings back so many memories...like being in grade school and every time it snowed you wished and wished that they would call of school. You would watch the TV hoping to see that your schools name appeared at the bottom of the screen. I still get that itch, to run to the TV and look at the school closings. Oh to be a kid again. To run and jump in the snow without anybody staring at you wondering what you are doing.
We had about 6-7 inches of snow!!

Eagles

Frozen Mississippi river


Aunt Leann was in town this week so we went to Grafton to see all the egales. Most of the eagles we saw were sitting on the frozen Mississippi river. They looked like little black dots on the ice. It was lots of fun driving down the street jumping in and out of the car looking for eagles.
By the way did you know that there are Seagulls on the Mississipi river. They are not as friendly as the ones that live by the ocean though.

Another Day Another Hospital

I had my defibrillator replaced on Wednesday. It was a last minute decision. My Dr told me on Monday that I have to get it replaced ASAP. I guess I procrastinated to long because the battery got lower than any of the Dr's had ever seen before. I am doing good. I am tired of the pain, it hurts more than I expected. I am looking forward to taking a shower, now that I can move my arm.

My little Fish

We regret to inform everybody but we went to the ER yesturday and the baby didn't have a heart beat. Shalon had a D&C today and is home from the hospital. She is doing good. We are just resting due to all the emotional ups and downs...mostly downs. Thanks for all the love and prayers.
