Feeling Rested

Boy do I feel rested. It's wonderful when Kaelyn goes right to sleep at 8PM and doesn't wake up until 8 AM. Obviously I don't get quite that much sleep...but still...going to bed at 11 and getting up at 8 is pretty nice. I must say that my schedule is one I have gotten quite used to. :) I often wish I could take a nap during the day too...but having only one nap now for Kaelyn really makes that difficult....as her nap time is the only time I really have to get a good amount of things done. That's ok though.....I'm feeling very rested.

Vehicle Storage

Now that Jake is here I finally get to see his new car!! It's a BMW and is so nice!! He takes really good care of his cars, so I know this one will probably stay in great condition as long as he owns it. It's very cute, and a great red color. It would be a good family car I think too. I wish it weren't so cold out, as I would stay outside longer to check it out more. Scott actually pulled one of our cars out of the garage so he could park his in there. He isn't too happy about driving it in all the snow and dirt. It handles well, but he doesn't want it to get dirty. I think he's looking into vehicle storage. He's wanting something that will allow him to keep his car as nice as possible. I don't blame him. There are many things to know about vehicle storage and many benefits to doing it. It's great for people here in the midwest.

Uncle Jake is Visiting

My brother Jake decided to come up and visit us for a couple of days. Kaelyn is sure excited! She loves her Uncle Jake. She has been saying his name a lot lately...as well as "meow". :) In fact, the first thing she said to him when he walked in the door was "meow". He decided not to bring his kitty this time, but that didn't phase her...she was still excited to see her Uncle!!! She's constantly saying "up" to him as she wants to be helped to give him hugs. Too cute!

Replacement Cell Phone

I finally got my phone replacement in the mail this week. For quite some time now...my cell phone has randomly been shutting off. The only way to get it back on is to take out the battery and put it back in. It's a new phone and one that should definitely not have these issues. I'm excited that Verizon sent me a new phone. I'm hoping that I will not encounter this same problem again, as I really enjoy having this particular phone a lot!!

Marbles

Over the holidays, Diana and Josh brought a really fun game for us all to play called "marbles". We played it quite a bit and had a lot of fun!!! If you've never I enjoyed it because it's a strategic sort of game. It's one that I would really like to own at some point. I was looking and was happy to find that ebay has quite a few of them available. I think Scott and I will probably buy one at some point. It would definitely be a fun one to have around.

Karisma

If you're looking to go on a fun family vacation, maybe you should look into Karisma Hotels. They are a collection of resorts along the beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya. They offer a gourmet inclusive concept which is great for anyone who loves food like I do!! They also have many luxurious accommodations like beach beds, hot tubs, hammocks and so much more! Just talking about it makes me more relaxed. It sounds like the perfect place for anyone wanting to go somewhere warm and have a fun and relaxing vacation with loved ones. If you'd like to learn even more about them you can get the information you're looking for on their website today.

Zoe

While Kaelyn and I were back visiting my parents this week...I had the opportunity to watch Zoe while they were at work. It was fun to see Zoe and Kaelyn interact, especially as Kaelyn gets older. She understands how to "gently" pet Zoe and for the most part they get along very well. I always enjoy having Zoe around. She's a very sweet dog and pretty easy going. She slept most of the day and waited by the window for her "mommy" and "daddy" to get home.

Sweet Hubby

Kaelyn and I are so happy to have Scott home now. He was gone for a whole week on business, which is a long time to be away from him. He was so excited to see us, especially Kaelyn who had really gotten good at walking while he was gone. He surprised me with very pretty flowers, which was super sweet of him. :) He's always very thoughtful. He said he missed his girls a lot and was happy to be home. We're happy to have him home too!

Wedding Supplies

The best place to find wedding supplies that I know of is The Knot Wedding Shop. When I was planning my wedding years ago, I found myself on their site many times! They have high quality supplies like camera, wedding favors, personalized gifts for attendants, cake toppers and SO much more!! I'm sure many people have heard of the Knot, but I didn't know if they were aware they had such a wonderful shop. They are the largest retailer of wedding supplies on the Internet....who wouldn't want to take advantage of such a wonderful option for brides and grooms who are planning their weddings?! Check out their site today and see what you think.
