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!
1. Johnny was so sweet today. I could not tell you anything specific that he did, it was just one of those days, you know when the hubby just gives you a squeeze for no good reason.
2. We went to our friends Jenny and Jason’s for the Superbowl. They had a sandwich bar, dips and veggies, babies and kiddos, and lots of good shouting and fun.
3. I made a fruit salad with pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, apple, and grapes, with a fruit dip that I make with sour cream, brown sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract..so yummy. Then I made a cold spinach dip that had bacon and water chestnuts…so good.
1. Johnny got home safely, and did not get stuck out in the field due to the snow!!
2. I got to watch precious Adley today while Kendi ran to the grocery store…she is such a good baby!
3. Had dinner with John, Kendi, and Becky. It was great to hang out, and I loved the salad and soup bar…as usual.
1. Johnny has to go out on alert again today. It seems like ever since he has gone back into the field that they have scheduled a lot of his alerts on days of the weekend…it is such a bummer!!
2. I have decided that I am going to buy an elliptical exercise machine with my Christmas money. I am super excited and Johnny took me shopping for one yesterday!!!
3. For the past few days I had been too lazy to put the clean sheets back on our bed, so we have been sleeping in the guest bedroom. It was kind of fun to get a new perspective of our house…hahaha. Nonetheless, I put our bed back together, and it is nice to be back in our room.
