1. Kid’s Church and Church were awesome today!!
2. Johnny is on alert again, but he gets back tomorrow, and then he has 4 days off..YAY!!
3. I went on an organizing rampage today. I cleaned out the fridge and freezer, organized the front hall closets, went through my closet and drawers and got rid of out dated stuff as well as stuff I just don’t wear, organized both bathrooms, returned borrowed things to friends, cleaned dishes and did laundry…busy busy busy!!!
1. John got back yesterday, and we went out on a date, and had a blast.
2. Today we woke up at like 10:30 and got the puppies all ready and took them on a 3 mile walk around the river. It was gorgeous today 52 degrees and sunny. The boys loved it! Then we ran loads of errands, and developed a very efficient way to communicate to do lists. We now have a calendar in our room with color coordinated post-its with all sorts of to do’s including reading our bible. I also bought a daily planner, it is red leather and I love it!!
3. Tonight we went to our small group and for dinner I made a raw veggie plate, cheese plate, and chips and salsa, and we are going to watch a movie. Fun times!! The Johnny is going tomorrow morning!
1. The weather was gorgeous today, such a blessing. I took my class outside today, and they were simply precious. Falling on their booties in the snow, and not caring because it was so mild out.
2. Johnny came home today!!! Love him so so much!!! He ran 6 miles and is continuing his marathon training.
3. I made a killer salad…super yummy, and such a treat for John when he is stuck underground having to eat greasy food.
1. Johnny got back today. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for me his snowshoeing expedition was cancelled.
2. Instead he looked at me and said “Do you want to rent bikes?” I responded “Yes!” So off we went.
3. 19 miles later we made it home. Needless to say my hiney-ho is killing me. It was not so much the work out, as the uncomfortable seats, wow that is killer on the rear end bones….wowsers!!
1. The weather was sensational today! Sunny and above freezing. I got to go outside with the kiddos today, and sit in the warm sun, and watch them parade around in their cute marshmallow snowsuits.
2. Had a nice night hanging out with Johnny a rarity these days.
3. He goes out into the field again tomorrow, and then is going on a night snowshoeing expedition, and so I will not see him until Sunday morning. Then I get to snuggle him for less than 24 hours and then he goes out again on Monday. I am ready for this to be over…I miss him.
1. Love is knowing when someone needs a boost, and how to boost them.
2. I love my husband.
3. On Sunday John got home from Alert and he knew I was having a poopy day. So when he walked through the door he said “Do you want to go for a drive in the mountains?”Of course I could not get my shoes on fast enough, and off we went. It was incredible the beauty that we saw. I feel so blessed to be in Montana.
1. John went on alert this morning.
2. So in true girl fashion, I made myself a little lunch and rented a tear jerking movie.
3. I miss my husband every time he goes on alert. As a wife you get so spoiled to having your best friend around all the time, so when he is gone I feel his absence in silence. I don’t like the silence.
1. I had a great birthday!
2. I loved this card from Momma Mayer.
3. John got me the cutest t-shirt. We also went to dinner with three of our closes couple friends, and it was a blast!!! I felt very loved!!!!
1. Wow my husband is amazing.
2. I could not be more blessed.
3. Thursday John went on alert, and when I woke up that morning there was a sweet email in my inbox. Then that evening when I went into the pantry to get the dog’s food, I saw my favorite candle, and a card sitting on top of the dog food. I opened the card and it had all sorts of sweet things written in it, and at the end it said “Pack your bags we are going on a trip.” So of course I was beside myself excited. Friday I rushed home from work, packed and got cutied up, and off we went on our little trip. John took me to Missoula to the same Double Tree Hotel on the river where we spent our one year anniversary. We had an amazing dinner out, an incredible breakfast in the morning, and shopped around. It was the PERFECT trip. I could not have asked for more. Johnny, I love you does not even begin to describe how feel about you. I am thankful I even know you. XXX
1. Today I only had 4 kiddos in my class, so I did not have a co teacher in there with me. I had a blast. My kiddos are so precious. One of my little tots can sing the whole incy weency spider song all be herself. It is probably the sweetest thing I have ever heard.
2. I got to watch Kendi’s precious baby girl for a few hours today, and Johnny boy joined me. She is just a doll, and the best baby I have ever watched.
3. Then John and I went to dinner with the Knops. I had grilled glazed salmon and veggies, and Johnny had a rueben. It was yummo!
