Goodbye truck......hello garage!

Well, John 72' is finally out of the garage and onto bigger and better things. Its getting fixed! I'm so excited. I think John's excited too but it all happened so fast i haven't had a chance to ask him yet.

Last week were inspections for our apartment. Apparently, we're not allowed to work on vehicles on the premisis. (who knew) So 2 days ago we got a letter on our door "3 days to remove truck (with motor and oil etc.) or vacate." Second vacate notice in 2 months (the other? a misunderstanding, all straightened out) (Lol, i'm laughing as i type this because i've been trying to get that truck fixed for a year now but i guess the vacate notice was a little more threatening than myself) Anyway, since we're not allowed to fix it here John decided that we're just going to have to have somebody else finish the project for us. John's a little bummed because this is something that he's wanted to do. He took the motor out, took it apart, and ordered all the parts. He's so busy he just hasn't gotten around to putting it all back together and was planning to this summer. But oh well, this way it will be done soon. We're happy about it. Honestly, i love that truck, lots of good memories in that truck. I'm excited to take it for a spin here in a few weeks and i would imagine, John's pretty excited too.

So goodbye for now. We'll miss you but look forward to seeing you again, good as new :)

On my mind. February 16, 2010

- Today John was home....a lot. Tomorrow he'll be around even more. I'm excited
- When it comes to the "blessed" category, i feel like we're number 1.
- My baby is halfway to one. How did this happen???? Tomorrow, we'll find out how much he weighs! I can't wait!
- My sis broke her leg. Bad. Her coming to stay with me so i can help take care of her? AWESOME.
- Backed up our computer today (thank your tax return), so happy/relieved that we finally did. I think our computer is well on its way to giving up the ghost...
- February 16...hopefully only 29 more days til spring....pretty sure thats all i can handle.
- Jack is fun. He laughs and smiles and sleeps and eats and pretty much already know's exactly how to steal our hearts. Lately, one of my favorite things he does is cries. But only a certain type of cry. He's got this thing going where i can tell he's just crying to be heard and if you pay attention to him, he tries hard not to let you know that he is actually really quite happy and just wants you to play with him. Its hilarious.
- Our dryer quit. We're getting a new one. I'm super excited :)
- Cleaning? Whats that? Its been so long since i've tried it that i can't really remember.
- Valentines? It was awesome. Our fort this year was cozy and fun. Our neighbors/friends were lucky enough to come join us for a movie in the fort...good times. :)
- My favorite food lately is a bad one. If you've never tried toritilla's, butter, cinamon and sugar, you've got to. They are to die for. all microwaved (25) and rolled up... hmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
- Rock climbing is so fun. Thank your Jordan for getting me back into it. Probably one of my most favorite things to do.....ever...
- I've pulled my guitar out recently. Its been so fun to play again. It had been a while and my fingers are starting to toughen up again. It feels good.
- I'm running again. I'm so happy to be exercising. Seriously, exercising makes me so happy.
- Just finished reading Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I really liked it and would recommend it. Thanks for those who recommended it to me.


In case your wondering by now if any of this rambling has a purpose. It really doesn't. Its just whats on my mind today. And i figured is was high time for another post.

Teeth

No, Jack is not getting teeth....that i know of anyway. But today i just was catching up on blogs, and there was definately a theme, everybody's kids are sprouting teeth! I just read 5 blogs, and four of the five were talking about their babies first teeth coming in. Kind of funny.

Although Jack does not have any teeth yet, we did just try feeding him rice cereal for the first time a couple of days ago and lets just say, he hated it! It was hilarious. I got it all on video but with the video camera and i don't know how to get that onto my computer. But just to give you an idea, he was gagging before we even got the food in his mouth. lol, funny boy. We love our little Jack man, and he's getting big. I think we must of just skipped over the rolling over stage because Jack still hasn't done that much but he is sitting up all on his own. It fun to watch him because you can just tell he feels like such a big boy. He's so fun. And right now he's talking to me, so i'd better go talk back!
