Seatlle

As you all know..it's my birthday today! Bart let me buy the best birthday present this year..a trip to Seattle by myself! One of my best friends Johnathen James has lived in Seattle for the past three years...I was able to spend three days with JJ we took a fairy..walked the market..ate different food...and watched alot of movies! Oh and the best part..he cut my hair...sense JJ moved I have not been to the same hair dresser twice...I don't trust just anyone to cut my hair short. But alas it is back blonde and short! It was a great time...I missed Molly and Bart so much but it's good to get alone time too...thanks for a great trip Johnathen..and oh..Happy Birthday too!

Rascal Flatts

Bart and I for the last four years have gone and seen Rascal Flatts in concert. They always put on an amazing show..I love them! My dad at his place of work..works on this guys car for free and in return offers free tickets to the Energy Solutions Arena...so I asked my dad if he could get us tickets and he pulled through..so we got a babysitter and off we went. We picked up the tickets at will-call and were off..we just were ushered lower and lower and lower until we were FRONT ROW! Are you kidding me! It was amazing..by far the best show in the last four years...Bart looked up to the top and said "I kind of feel bad for those..people.." "I don't!" What an amazing time...Jessica wasn't bad..wasn't amazing..but she is new to country...and p.s. she is not fat!

7-11

Been inside a 7-11 lately?...enough said...

First Name Basis...

So Molly has decided that instead of calling me mom..she refers to me as Nette..it is hilarious...and she doesn't just say it once she says it five times in a row like it's a regular habit of ignoring her..she is so silly. She wants to show Bart and I everything..she will run in screming Nette and pointing to where she just came from..she is so admit on you coming and coming right now..last night I followed her and she had turned on Bart's alarm clock..it's almost as if she thinks she is in trouble..so silly...she is talking more and more and we have successfully mastered please and thank you! Everyday is something new...I can't wait tell I hear her in the mornings yelling Nette to come and get her out of her crib...

ABBA

I have been really good lately at walking everyday..if it's not out in the bitter cold it is in the basement on the borrowed treadmill. I am up to five miles a day and it is beginning to become pretty easy...yes I said five miles...as I walk I find myself looking at the ground and talking to myself...out loud! By the time I get home I have a clear mind, I feel good, and nothing sounds better than a tall glass of good ol' water. Today felt so good that I headed out without any gloves, a scarf, or my cute ear muffs. As I was walking the old Ipod switched from a great country song..to The Best of ABBA (a birthday present from my brother when I was 19)...are you SeRiOuS...I totally forgot that this was on here..and then...what?...was that a little skip in my step?...then all the sudden the thumbs came out jazzy like...out to the right..then to the left...and then as I passed Maverick it was as if I was on Broadway...slide ball change...jazz hands..jump in the air and landed on my knees...smiling and staring at the heavens above!! All right there on 12600 South for everyone to see....oh ABBA...no not really..yes a little skip in my step..the rest was in my head but wouldn't that have been great..all the sudden back up dancers and everything..and then as the song ended...as if nothing happened me continuing on with my five mile trek...oh so silly...but as the song ended I lifted my head..smiling..and noticed the blue skies..what a great day...something so simple as a great song, a nice walk, and warm weather can make you enjoy and be so grateful for the life that you have, for the husband that provides selflessly so much, and for the babies that I just know LOVE me unconditionally! It was a great day for a walk...
