Update-ish

1. I am now in Asheville living between my parents house and my grandmothers house. My grandmother is in a nursing home so her house is empty and is a great place for Madelyn and I to have as our own. However, I'm a chicken and there's no internet there yet so we've been sleeping at my parents. Plus they are calling for snow flurries tonight. Blech!

2. Madelyn turned one on Friday and I'm pretty sure she's diving head first into her terrible twos. We have major meltdowns, temper tantrums, and more attitude than I think a one year old is allowed to have. Of course, she's still the cutest, sweetest baby in the whole wide world.

3. Chris left Sunday to drive to CA. It will be 11 days until I see him for the ball in Charleston, SC. I am so bummed that he's not here with us and that we will be apart for a while (after the ball).

4. I am LOVING having cold weather so that I can sleep under my down comforter. Well, if I would ever go to the house where my comforter is to sleep under it. The two nights with Chris were wonderfully snuggly though!

5. I don't have internet yet and I'm going crazy!

6. Today I had my garbage in my lap to drop in the dumpster as I came to mom and dads and forgot to throw it away! I had stinky nasty poopy diaper garbage and I FORGOT it was there. I had to turn around and go back to throw it away.

7. I miss Chris like nobody's business and I wish he were here or we were there, or whatever has to happen for us to be together.

I miss Chris FOR you. I hate that feeling. When me and Austin were apart for the first three months of TBS I was a wreck EVERY day...well, take into consideration I was either 9 months preggo or had post partum...but still..I know I would have been a wreck anyway.

Man, I know exactly how you feel. I hate it when Dave is gone! Only 11 days, you can do it! Just keep telling yourself that! You can do anything for 11 days!
Dude, I totally wish that I had a place to stay so I didn't have to stay at my parents! I am gonna go crazy! It is gonna be so nice for you and Madelyn to have your own space! To keep your sanity!

SNOW!!! No thanks! I don't miss that at all!!! Make sure that you keep that weather up there with you. I don't want you sharing that with us at all.

I'm so bummed that you have to be apart from Chris. It makes it so hard, especially since your really a single parent right now.

Hope you get your internet soon, so you don't go too crazy!

I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom. That is HOT.   This is Madelyn.  She is three and keeps me on my toes and sometimes renders me speechless.  So now that you know a little more about me, please link up so we all can get to know you!

Can't wait

On holidays I think forward to how they will be when we have our own child. I think of what my parents did with and for us and imagine doing those same things for my own child. It's the small day to day things that shape us into what we are. In our house, Valentines Day was never about romantic love, even though Mom and Dad obviously loved each other and did things for one another. It was always about love, family love, friendly love, the love that encompasses us daily. It was a day where we got a red heart filled with chocolate, a box of conversation hearts, those heart jawbreakers, and cute card. Nanna always sent us a Valentines Day card - ALWAYS arriving on Valentines Day. Nanna had great timing with her cards - perfect timing. Mom always got the larger Whitmans Sampler Box and all of the kids would take turns picking what we wanted from what mom didn't care for (and sometimes what she was really saving for later because it was her favorite). Daddy got red hots. Tho
