This and that...

I should be studying right now, but just can’t get myself to do it. Blog stalking and posting is so much more fun. I shouldn’t have looked at my sister-in-law’s blog because it got me a little homesick. Brook and Hailey are so adorable and full of energy and I can’t help but feel a little sad that I can’t just hop in the car to go and see them. I can’t believe how big they are getting!...last time we skyped, I thought that Hailey was Brookie! Steve and I have fallen in love with Boston but don’t want to live out here long term because it is so nice to be able to just hop in the car to go see family.

It was Steve’s birthday on Wednesday. He is the big 27! I can’t believe I am married to such an old man! I guess I am right there behind him. It is okay that he is an old man because I love him, I love his quirky jokes, I love how he makes me happy, I love how he was willing and glad to quit a job he enjoyed to let me pursue my education, I love how we teach nursery together and every week I get to see what a great Daddy he will be, and I love how his testimony of the Gospel strengthens mine. Okay, I’ll stop right there before you decide to close out this page.

Since we have lived in Boston we have had a few major shocks. Just to name a few…not everybody in the neighborhood is Republican, driving down the road is like driving in complete chaos, and obsession of sports is the norm. Our most recent shock…ants in Winchester are GINORMOUS! Take a look at the photo. I no longer worry about getting bitten by a spider, stung by a bee, or even attacked by a liger (k..don’t really worry about ligers)…I am now in complete fear of ants! I really think I am going to wake up in the middle of the night to a Goliath ant carrying me off to store me away for its winter feast.
