A year ago today, pretty close to this time of day (3:30pm) things where drastically different then they are right now.
I was madly finishing up cleaning my house. I was attempting to doll myself up and make it to the airport early. The only person I had to worry about at that moment was me. I was rushing to get everything done before Chris came home from overseas.
Seeing him after six months was going to be awesome and well worth it. He was going to see me with blond hair for the first time in my life (my Halloween costume last year was Marylin Monroe - and I couldn't find a wig that looked right so I bleached mine) and see the weight I had worked hard to loose while he was gone in person.
I know with absolute certainty that the night he came home, Jr was conceived. Looking back Jr was worth the four year wait. I wouldn't change anything in my life right now, although sometimes I wish teething where easier for Jr and for me but I still wouldn't change anything. I love my son, I love my wonderful husband.
How many people can say with ABSOLUTE certainty what day/night their child was conceived? And quite honestly, you can't get much more planned then Jr was. And I am oh so thankful for all the smiles, silly faces and all the little funny things he does (like trying to eat his fingers and a spoon full of cereal at the same time).

Happy Birthday - TO ME!!! :)
Today, I turn the ripe old age of 28. Gosh - I feel old!! lol. (there are some of you who read this - who will ALWAYS be older then me!!! ;) and I will never let you forget it either!!!! Not going to name names.... but you know their initials are: Sarah, Chris ect)
Alright... so anyhow... I woke up about 730 this morning, to find my husband MIA from bed (not unusual mind you). I came downstairs to find this on the table:
Now Chris took pictures of me opening my present from the boys. I REFUSE to post them. No one in their right mind wants to see me in my pjs, hair medusa like. And I refuse to let anyone see me like that unless your here in the flesh - then your just SOL!
I got a lovely new cellphone from the boys. As they put it, they broke the piggy bank and then some. And their dad has stooped to a new level to hide my present from me!!! Just thought I would throw that in there. My Razr was on the way out. So now I have a lovely Blackjack II - that amazingly I only had to show my husband once! He's getting sooo good at paying attention. :) I just love him!
Here in a little bit, Jess and I are going to go for Mani/Pedi's and have some "girl" time. Chris dutifully has agreed to help Ronnie babysit the boys. (I guess it's a good thing that Trace feels that Chris is his 'personal' big buddy and play toy.) Then we are all going to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks - it's playing at the dollar cinema (yes I'm cheap, but A: when I'm going to have to pee 4-6x during the movie it helps I've already seen it and B: I'd rather go see something I know that Trace would enjoy too - besides I think both Chris and I like the movie just as much as he will) . Afterwards we get to go pick up my icecream cake from Cold Stone Creamery (agian - only mentioned it once to my husband and he ordered it already!!!) and then it's back home to BBQ w/ Jess, Ronnie & family. I'm sure I'll have more pictures to post later. I might even let someone take MY pictures ;).
