wedding day

It was still dark when I woke up this morning and thought, "I should get up."  I started sitting up and realized, it's Saturday!  My mornings, Monday thru Friday, start around 6:15am.  It's really not too big of a deal for me since I'm a morning person but when I stay up late with Phil watching Top Chef and Arrested Development, then it's a big deal.  Maddie pretty much has two choices for her lunches.  It's either going to be pb&j or a ham sandwich.  If we've had rice and pnut sauce that week then she'll often choose that.  So, I drink my coffee while I make her lunch and then wake her up around 6:50am.  Often she's already awake and for some horrible reason, Lily is too.  So then we're up.  Phil's up at some point as well but I'm definitely the one running the morning routine show.

But for some magical reason, right now, I'm the only one up at 7:01am.

Maddie's in a wedding today.  We've never met the bride or groom.  Maddie's friend, ChuChu, who lives upstairs knows the bride and groom and she's in the wedding, too.  ChuChu was nervous to be in it on her own so she asked Maddie to do it with her.  This is a CH wedding so I'm not quite sure what their role is, something like a ring bearer is what we're gathering.  ChuChu's mom took Maddie to a bridal gown rental shop yesterday and Maddie got to pick out her dress.  It's a pretty, white, fluffy dress with silk roses.  She also got sparkly silver shoes.  She's getting her hair done this morning.  Phil and I are thinking we could make some good money this way.  Rent-A-Cute-Kid for your wedding.  Oh, and Phil and I are not invited.

Funny how we don't really think this is all that strange (slightly strange but not very).  No one else involved finds it odd, so why should we?  When in Rome...

happy birthday

Today I am 29 years old. I don't mind being a 29 year old. It has it's advantages, I'm sure. It's only 7:33am so I don't really know how my actual birthday is going to be but yesterday was great. After a meeting here at home with the other Seminary English teachers, Phil told me that Terri (coworker) wanted to see me the office. I knew something was up and when I walked into the office everyone was standing there, Terri was holding a cake with candles, and they all started singing "Happy Birthday". I wasn't surprised that they did something but I was surprised to have everyone there at that moment singing to me. I'm enjoying a piece of the spice cake right now with coffee. They also made me a really sweet card that was very encouraging. Terri and Buddy(dog) came over around 5pm last evening so that Phil and I could go out. I knew we were going to a restaurant and I knew we should dress a little nice. We both looked nice but we couldn't...

still cooking

As of today we are 4 days late. That is assuming that man can accurately determine the day a baby should be born. Which, obviously, he can not. So, we wait. The thing with pregnancy is that most woman began to really anticipate that Big Day about a month before the due date and so when that day comes and goes it has been a long time of waiting. I keep trying to remember 2 things. One, when she comes our nice little family of 3 will be forever altered and two, she will come. In fact, she will come by the end of next week if not sooner - thanks to the ability to induce. So in the mean time I'm able to blog with both eyes wide open, take Madeleine swimming on a whim, have dates with Phil whenever and stay up late watching "Numbers" without worrying about my sleep debt. Not so bad when you think of it that way.

All these posts

Somewhere in space are all these posts that people write.  I've had this blog for years now and I hardly ever use it but it's still always here.  Who is that person that finally says, "Okay, enough is enough. Your blog is gone."? I'm tired.  It's Saturday afternoon at 4pm.  I'd like to nap longer or watch a movie.  I don't want to play chu chu train and I don't want to take a slow toddler paced walk outside.  I don't want to start making pizza but I should, which means I need to go buy tomato paste, make the sauce and make the crust.  I'm feeling lazy and a hard thing with being a parent is that when you're lazy, others in your life have the potential to starve. We're looking at buying a house.  It's not an easy thing to do when the house is on one side of the globe while you're on the other.  When I want to get something done, I want it done now.  So, that's making this process hard.  We're at the mercy of east...
