I have no idea what I'm going to say, but it's been 2 weeks, so I've got to say something.
So here's my completely random post.
This is Bryson. He likes Action Figures, in fact most of time he thinks he is one. This was taken Christmas morning. Cute, right? He's fearless, a little crazy, sometimes makes me crazy...but boy he can cuddle like no other. I guess you could say he's a lover and a fighter.
This is Nona, or Viona. I've been told she looks just like me. Must be the chubby cheeks. :) She turned 6 on Jan 16th. She's great at everything she does. She loves school and has a ton of friends. I see little boys follow her around everywhere, yet she's not interested. "They're just friends," she tells me. This little boy in the picture, Wesley, likes her so much, he sacrificed his manliness to be the only boy at Nona's Tinkerbell birthday party.
Random update: The little boys still don't have beds. They have mattresses on the floor, which I hate to say, but they love it. Why did we bother spending money on beds?

Adam left Jan 2nd to go to BNCOC. He spent the first few weeks in AZ. I'm so jealous. When he wasn't in training, he was spending time with family. He even went to Rocky Point one weekend. Can you see me turning green? Now he's in TX in hole in the wall, San Angelo (sorry Crystal, it is). I miss him so much, but somehow we're surviving without him. Good news, though! He gets to come home for the long weekend. He flies in tomorrow and gets to spend Valentine's day with me!!! yippee! Of course he has to go back early Monday morning, but only one more month after that. Then, all military training is OVER! E7 here we come!
I've been filling my time with a lot of reading and a lot of tv. I also started having lunch get togethers at my house on Mondays. I love having people over.
I've been working really hard on learning all the new stuff that I'm teaching at the gym for Centergy and Groove. That's been fun, but taxing on my body. I'm such a procrastinator that I learn all the stuff the night before and practice it over and over for a few hours, then again the next morning and then I teach it. So if you've taken my class, imagine doing the Centergy Challenge track 6 times in a row, and remember because you're the teacher you have to sit deeper in the poses than anyone in your class. My quads and butt are killing me.
But that is kind of good because it's the lead in to my next little bit of randomness. Sore thighs and butt mean I could drop another pant size and look super hot for the CRUISE we're going on in May! Woohoo! I've never been on a cruise before, but I hear they are a ton of fun. We're going with Aubry and Chris which will definitely guarantee that we will have a blast. We always have fun with Adam's sister and her husband...and the best part...NO KIDS!
Here's a pic of all of us while we were sight-seeing in Minneapolis before Aaron's wedding last summer.
Oooh! More news. We're doing the paper work to buy Adam's dad's house in Tucson. We'll be renting it out until we can move back in 3 and a half years. I'm super excited. I can't wait to be near family again and to live on the Bell Patch! Our kids are going to have so much fun. I just hope the market will be better in 2012 when we sell our house here in MD.
On the upside. I did have a fabulous Valentine's Day weekend. Adam came home for 3 days to play. We went and saw Confessions of a Shopaholic on Friday and ate at The Olive Garden, although I think my large portion made me as ill as Brandi's teeny italian portion. We took the kids to see Coraline on Saturday. It was really good, yet creepy, and a wee bit pornographic, I'm thinking we should have screened that one before we took them. Who can trust ratings anymore? We went to Stake Conference on Sunday and then just lounged the rest of the day. It was fun, relaxing, and then it ended. Adam left this morning. Just 32 more days of BNCOC and then he comes home ( I'd like to say for good, but we all know that's not true). It's not fair that I have the best husband in the world and I rarely get to see him.
