Happy birthday mom!

I'm so blessed to have such a great, wonderful, supportive mom. She can always lift me up when I'm feeling down and keep me laughing through it all. She is my best friend and knows me so well. I don't know what I would do without her.

Have a wonderful birthday mom! xoxo

Release

Friday night we had a chance to meet up with Scott & B, Heather & Casey, Annette & Davey for some food, fun and good times! It was nice to just sit back and relax for the night.... we even capped the night off with dancing at Johnnie Macks- Long live the 'Washington Apple!'

Love letter

I think we all need to write a love letter to the sun- telling it how much we miss it! I'm definitely feeling the winter blah's right now- I could use a nice, warm sunny day to lift up my spirits.
Who knows the countdown until spring?!

The Little Ro That Could...

As I'm sitting here getting ready to leave for class, I remembered a book I used to read when I was little- "The little tank engine that could."

I'm still pouting because how fair is it that I have to leave my warm blanket and couch to trek half way across Des Moines in freezing degree temp's to attend class? "I think I can...I think I can... I think I can..."

Welcome to Iowa: The SNOW state

Well, another weekend cut short by the crazy snowstorm going on outside. Andy and I were supposed to spend the weekend in Waverly but decided we'd better head back to Des Moines last night before we got stranded. It was a good thing too! Woke up to this today:

Just yesterday our street, sidewalk, and deck were completely free of snow. Not anymore! Here's hoping for a late start tomorrow- who's with me?

I *puffy heart* DVR!

DVR (think TiVo) has allowed me to record my favorite shows since I'm at class 2 nights a week. And it's time to get out the popcorn and nestle in- BB9 started yesterday! *See Andy rolling his eyes here* I'm so excited. I didn't watch it last year but am ready for it this season!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun...

Happy Anniversary J&L! Can you believe another year has gone by? Andy and I have great memories of your wedding and here's to many more great memories to come. Enjoy your day!

Good for the Soul

My girls took me out for lunch yesterday for my birthday- It was just what I needed! We had good conversation and great laughs. Thanks for my presents girls! xo

*sigh* It's that time of year again...

Andy took me out to dinner tonight for my birthday to Joe's Crab Shack. We had the best time! I even took the plunge and indulged in the 'Shark Attack' (he helped). The next time you see me, tell me I look 10 years younger. I'll love you forever.

Can't... Move...

I think I love self-torture. I must since I asked for the 'Biggest Loser DVD workout' for my birthday. I tried it today- and now am successfully confined to the couch all night. Seriously- I was sweating like I've never sweated before. I guess this will be good for me. I like the trainer's too- they keep me motivated- motivated by HATING them.

*Cold Days/Hot Deals*

This is seriously messing up my diet. But it's oh-so-good! I should buy stock in McDonalds.
