They call me Mrs. Handyman

Well it's been a crazy week! 1/2 Monday..Bilingual Conference Wednesday....tomorrow we have Nanaw's funeral in Ranger and the Friday bring on the mini vacation!!!

Tomorrow will be an emotional day for the family...I have loved listening to David's memories of Nanaw and of course remember my first time meeting her and playing SkipBo!

On another note...YAY!! Me!!! I fixed the toilet!!!! I went to Wal-Mart determined that I could fix it and not have to pay the plumber and I DID!! Louis came to check my work and it was done right! Bye bye $90 fix and HELLO fixing it for $10!!

Mexicano!!

Tonight I am very proud of myself!! I made homemade mexican rice, chicken taquitos served with beans. It was my first attempt at both and everyone loved it :) My rice needed just a tad more cooking time and it would have been perfecto!

¡Feliz Día de Amor y Amistad!

The title says it all!! Today was our Valentines Fiesta at school and I love all my little Valentines!! I think I got 7 heart boxes of chocolates, 3 roses and 25 cards :) and 1 GiANT puppy!! David and I really don't celebrate v-day all that much but we did make Valetines for Dj to pass out!
Hope everyone enjoyed their loved ones today!!

Drum roll pls....David's 27!!!

Last night we celebrated Davids 27th birthday! Family and friends met us at New York Pizza to enjoy some pizza and cake :)
I love that we were able celebrate all together as much as David protested...I WON! We've had a wonderful weekend of just relaxing and celebrating!! David was able to finish all his homeowner early and just hang out with us minus his usual attachment to the computer on weekends.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend...were expecting snow hmmm maybe late start tomorrow!!

Oh and yes I forgot candles so David is using his lighter!

To choose or not to choose!

Wow we had a whirlwind of a weekend that here it is Wednesday and I'm just getting to post. We went car looking that turned into actual car liking...first we went to check out the Chevy Traverse and then we went to check out the Kia Sorrento. We heard that people that owned Sorrento's LOVED them but however when we went to our local dealership and checked out the model that we liked...I was kindly "sarcastic" told that the vehicle I was looking at cost too much for me and should continue looking but in a base model. I must say that takes alot of well you know to tell someone that...yet he had me test drive the most expensive model they had on the lot. This salesman makes no sense and we will definitely be telling anyone that asks that this dealership has JERKS!

After spending the say shopping for cars that we didn't intend on purchasing we decided we would try to see how much it would cost to buy the Traverse. More on that later...

We made it home just in enough time to get ready and head to the Civic Center for David's Birthday Present...seeing the Newsboys Live! Their tour was called "God's Not Dead" as much as I'm not crazy about their music it was nice to see David enjoy himself so much and I really liked the opening band Anthem Lights and Abandoned. David's friend John went with us and let me just say its LOUD at a concert if your in the "Golden Circle" seats which are 2 rows away from the stage!



New shoes New you!

Isn't that how it works new shoes new you...I wish! This past Monday we officially joined the YMCA---insert hand motions :) I hadn't bought running shoes since I was prego with Dj and David's were in yucky shape so here's to new shoes and working out! We made the switch from our old gym to the Y because of childcare...which is a sad topic at least for me because Djs first time in the nursery consisted of standing in one solitary position while we did a short 30 minute work out. The gym has busy days in the nursery so for now the plan is just to go on the non busy days and pray he gets better in there!

3 years later....and it's still like yesterday!

I think the title sums up everything about today....our hearts are so full....both heavy and joyous...we've been beyond blessed with the love of our lives Dj yet..our hearts yearn for more.

This day feels like yesterday...Clara Grace.
