oh, yeah...I was tagged!

6 things that make me the most happy:

1. My little Mack. Of course. Right now she is clomping her feet and spinning circles to show Charlotte how to dance: "just like that." Earlier our duck made her cry...not because he bit her but because he hurt her feelings when he did...wish you could have seen it: "Momma, he bit me!"

2. John. There is no better husband, I don't care which of you thinks yours is better. We are GREAT at arguing as I'm sure everyone who has spent more that 10 minutes with us knows, but we are perfect for eachother. And he takes care of me every day in so many ways...I definately couldn't say enough...except to him: I'm sorry...I'm not so great to you.

3. There's a bubbling in my tummy, and already I couldn't love it more...until it comes out wailing. The miracle is amazing just while he/she beats me up from the inside out...just a couple more months, baby.

4. My family. And I mean all of you. My mother, because she raised me better than any kid I know. My sisters because they love me more than I knew. And everyone else: Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas, Granpas, cousins....everyone. Because without you I would not be me, and without you I might not have surived life being me.

5. Sitting with the lights off, with a fire in the fireplace, with no one around. Or with the christmas tree lit, and all the lights off. Or with all the lights off, and just the moon and snow lighting the world. In general having the lights off is good!

6. Socks. That's it. I love socks. hmmm... and my dog. I know that makes seven.

Oh, yeah...My dog ran away while I was gone in Idaho, and was gone for almost 3 days, and with joint efforts of my family we finally found her on the 4th day. I have to admit I had kind of given up and was horribly sad, but now she is home and I am extremely happy. Stinkin dog climbed out of a 6 ft kennel during a thunderstorm (because of course the thunderstorm is going to get her!!). Anyway. all is well now.

AND I TAG JUSTINE, MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!

Holy cow, I don't know if this is just beautiful, or if I'm emotional right now, because this post almost made me cry. I miss you Kit Kat.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
