Bitter Sweet

So my best friend here in Idaho Falls is leaving tonight to move back to Vermont. I'm so sad that she is leaving. It took me a very long time to make a good friend here. I have very much enjoyed getting to know her over the past 6 months. I really hope we can stay in touch and maintain our friendship! That said, it has been kind of awesome getting to pilfer through her stuff. She is only taking what fits in her car with her, so I've acquired some pretty cool things for my house. Some of them you might even see repurposed on my craft blog in the next few weeks, exciting!!!

Mike and the kids, and I have been doing pretty great. We're still trying to get everything in order for him to quit his job in a few months. I'm getting a teeny tiny bit nervous about it, but I KNOW this is God's plan for us. When things aren't working out in one way, He always provides us with the guidance and courage to take the next step. We are so blessed!

I'm still not sure if Phil will be starting preschool or not. Besides the fact that the school is driving me crazy wanting to set up eight million evaluations, we also don't know whether we will be going to school in Idaho Falls or Pocatello. If we go to Pocatello, it might make preschool a non-option. Not that he NEEDS it anyway, I just thought he would enjoy the interaction. Oh well.

So fun!

Well, Mike and I had a great time on our date, and the food was amazing. Now we're hanging out at home and he's playing Dead Rising2 while I waste time on the computer. Feel free to stop by The Picky Eater and check out my review of Buddy's Italian Restaurant.

Date Night

It feels amazing to be having a date tonight with Mike. Lately we only go out with the kids, and it just isn't the same. I can't complain about going out with the kids, though. They have actually been pretty well behaved. I just miss the in depth conversations you don't get to have around little ones. We're going to this new Italian restaurant in town, called "Buddy's Italian Restaurant." I hope it's yummy. Mike is still boycotting Olive Garden, and he says the description of Johnny Carinos is really weird, (southern italian cooking). So this is kind of like my last chance to find a nice sit down Italian place here. I'll post a review on my other blog, here.

Alrighty then, time to get off my lazy bum, clean my house and shower. I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

More pictures!!!

Ugh

Some days are definitely better than others. Right now I don't feel very cheery or happy. I don't want to be stressed out anymore. I don't want to have to worry about other people being stressed out anymore. I just want peace and quiet.
