because this is what makes blogging fun...


*the hope of spring*

Some tidbits of information that you may or may not want to know...

*I have never once touched a cigarette, but I have this very odd desire to buy a pack of Nicorette gum. I really like gum, I guess.

*My husband and I like a lot of the same music, with a few exceptions: I love country and he only likes some...and he loves classic rock and it makes me want to vomit. Sorry to all of you fans...but I can't handle it!

*I met Joel when I was 18, became engaged when I was 19 and married when I was 20. When I read that, I start to sweat. Crazy. But it worked for us and we're going on 8 years of marriage:)

*We had a sunny day here today (the first in a while) and it gave me a glimmer of hope....Spring will come again! I long for the days when the kids cans go out back and play in the sprinkler. Oh, the hope of spring...how it tugs on my heart!

*I am reading One Thousand Splendid Suns with my SIL, Andi. Really excited about it. Just finished Like Family. Fairly depressing, actually, but I like that sort of thing. I think it is important to read about lives that are so different than mine.

*We went out on an overnight date on Friday and it was just splendid! BIG thanks to Andi and Erik for watching the boys! Order of events: drinks, dinner, dessert, shopping (at gymboree:), movie, hotel. So great! I love being "just us" every now and then!

*My family is watching a movie together and I snuck away to do this random post. Now, I've been found and I see little fingers under the door. I better go!

How awesome that you got an overnight away! And the sun still shines there?!? How great after all that snow you have had.

Have a great week!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's been 8 years for you two. I remember your wedding like it was yesterday :)

What a sweet post --- I didn't know majority of what you wrote about, and loved learning more about you & your sweet family. Sure have missed you guys. AND, I am soooooo glad you & Joel could have a much-deserved overnight date on Friday. Gawl, after having one recently ourselves, I am a huge proponent of those. Not just for the sake of time together, but it really does rejuvinate even a great marriage, don't ya think? ... which probably makes us better parents, too? :) So much love to you guys... we miss you.

Wasn't the sun gorgeous yesterday?! I met Todd at 16, married him at 18 and we've been married 13 years. If it's right it's right. But now that I have a daughter I'm seriously already thinking of ways I can explain that situation away. 18 doesn't sound near far enough away from 5. Hope to see you soon!

Better watch out you might get some Nicorette for your Birthday! ;)

Glad you guys had a nice time away!

I'll have to put that book on my list - let me know how it is.

Love, Aleah

I was 19 when Jonathan & I got engaged and married at 20 as well. I agree...it feels weird to explain (or to look back on sometimes) but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love that we got to "grow up" together:).

I'm glad you got an overnight date too! I hope we can go on those after kids as well!

You make me laugh!

Congratulations on the 8 year mark! I can relate to the differences in musical taste. My DH things country is "sinful"! And I can't stand the electric sounds of classic rock. But it's worked for us because we have almost been married for 22 years!

Glad you got away for a bit. I'm wishing you more sunshine this week...
