update on us

i am feeling very brain dead so i figured i would just start writing and see where this goes.

last night, maddax and i had dinner with a very good friend of mine. i haven't seen her in a couple of years it seems. we both have children around the same age and she is currently pregnant with TWINS!!! we had conversation about people from the past and what they were up to now and what we had been doing over the past couple of years. it was great to see her. thank you for dinner and you are well missed.

i saw the rascal flats in concert last weekend...not the best i have seen. you couldn't understand what they were saying and they had no screens. disappointing.

maddax is dressing himself from head to toe now. i am so impressed with everything he does. from singing abc's to being a smart alec. they learn so fast. he's understanding yesterday, today, tomorrow, this weekend, etc. for instance, "i wanna go to donald's" "tomorrow" "k" you bet your ass when tomorrow rolls around that kid has not forgotten you said you would take him to McDonald's "tomorrow" & it is tomorrow & you better be taking him.

i am finally headed back to grad. school. yep. made that decision. every friday night, saturday & sunday all year round will be consumed of lecture and listening. oh, the joy. so i guess, beginning in august i will see you guys next year. i am not the least bit excited about this, but we must do what we must to get where we want to go in life. strive ahead. whoop! whoop!

mad and i get to go home this weekend. yeah. really, i am looking forward to it. although, i know it won't be as relaxing as i wish, we will still have a pleasureable time. i have to move furniture. YUCK!!! hopefully, saturday we can do our visiting rounds.

oh and we have a new house. i guess i could post some pics but i forget. i will try to later. we love our new house. there is so much more room. i love the hardwood floors. so far not any real complaints, except the driveway is very steep. it has lots of opening windows which is wonderful and lots more closet space and a basement for all my extra junk. it also has an extra room where i can paint!!! no more window unit air conditioners or exposed washer & dryer. we finally have all we need. i can't wait to get to work in the yard. we have a deck, which means we need a grill i think. at least that's what everyone says. "oh, cool deck. you need a grill." "nice deck, you gotta get a grill." "blah blah blah, where's the grill?" i think they are inviting themselves over for a cookout, but i'm not sure. i can't grill. so not sure about that either. they may have to settle for an invitation to a cook-in, eat-out instead. so that just means byob and a lawn chair.
