So I am officially a quarter of a century old! I am an old, married mother and loving every minute of it. Chris made me breakfast and served it on our “special” plate. It is a red plate that was given to us for our wedding, with a note telling us about a tradition that was started in their family, which is any time it was a birthday or a special day, that person had their food served on the “special” plate. I love the tradition and look forward to getting my food on the special plateJ Chris then made me a cake, yellow with chocolate frosting, one of my favorites. He gave me the sweetest letter, and then continued to pamper me all day. We had talked about going out to dinner for my birthday, but for some reason he said he wanted to go out Saturday instead. I thought that was weird, because my birthday was Friday, my “special” day, why would we wait till Saturday? But I didn’t push and said that was ok. We decided to try a new restaurant, Brio, because his aunt had told us that the food was delicious. So, we got ready and were about to leave, but I decided to feed Tyler before we left so he would be good while we ate dinner. But while I was feeding him, Chris started to grill me saying, “how long does it take you to feed him? How long does he eat on each side? Why don’t you just feed him on one side?” I finally asked him why he was grilling me, and he simply said, “I don’t know how long it takes you feed him, I’ve never timed it”. Again, I thought this was weird, but didn’t push it. So, we finally get away to dinner and as we are walking up to the restaurant, I see Jason and Drea sitting outside of it. I was thinking, “How fun, they are eating here too, we should eat together!” I say to Chris, “How fun, there’s Jason and Drea”, and he said, “I know”. I then realized, duh, it’s a surprise! Took me a little while to catch on, but Chris did a superb job of surprising me. Dinner was so much fun, Jason and Drea are a blast to hang out and visit with. Drea gave me the prettiest bracelet, and I love it so much! After dinner, Jason treated us to ice-cream at one of my favorite places, Coldstone! Loved eating my favorite treat with some of my favorite people!
Tyler is growing up so fast! He will be two months old this Wednesday. He is starting to smile so much, and it’s not just gas anymoreJ He can follow things with his eyes and will stand up when you hold his hands. He is sleeping so good at night. Last night he slept from 11 pm to 6:30 am, I mean, who does that! Me and Chris are really enjoying parenthood and I am dreading going back to work because I know it will require me to be away from Tyler. I am hoping to get a job in a either post-partum or Labor and Delivery, but positions have not been available, and when they have, I never seem to get the job. But everything happens for a reason and I need to trust that Heavenly Father has a better plan than I do. We are still waiting to hear about if Chris will get into PA school and where. Plan B is for him to apply to the nursing program in Flagstaff, so we will see what ends up happening in our future. All I know is I am so lucky to have Chris and Tyler in my life! They bring me so much happiness to my life.
