Family Vacation to GA Day 3

Today was another great day. We went to lunch with my best friend Erica, her husband Bryan, and their adorable son Aiden!

 

 Isn't he precious! I can not believe how big he is! He was so sweet with the boys.

  It was so nice to catch up and just spend time together. After lunch Bob, the boys and I made a quick Target run to pickup some formula and gas drops for the boys. We ended up running into some friends we haven't seen in awhile too, the beauty of a small town! Of course when we left Target it began pouring rain! Just so you know carrying a baby carrier and umbrella isn't that easy. We went to my Great Aunt Sara's house to see her, Granny, Aunt Linda, and Nana.  Granny Bowen was having a really bad day. She had not been responsive that much and wouldn't hardly wake up. During the course of our visit of course the boys became fussy. We were trying to calm them and Granny's nurse came out of her room said Granny asked us to bring the babies to her. This was a shock! So we took the boys in there and they got really quite and smiled and cooed at Granny. She was awake and talking to them and loving on them it was precious!

 I will never forget these moments and I praise God she is able to see and enjoy them. Jamey came by to see the boys.

 He is so wonderful with them. They think he is so funny they both smiled and talked with him. We enjoyed a great afternoon visiting with everybody. Tonight though Bob and I did

something we haven't done in AGES! We went on a date, without the babies.

We went to the mall and browsed. Later we went to see the new Harry Potter movie (it was really good by the way).

 Bob and I haven't gone to the movies in 2 years it was so fun. We had such a great time together laughing together and forgetting all our worries for a few hours! The boys were in great hands and had a great time being babysat by Aunt Sarah, Uncle Ben, Uncle Chris, Grandma and Grandpa. We came home and they were fed, bathed, and in bed sound asleep. Bob and I really enjoyed our time together alone but we sure missed our boys. Tomorrow is another exciting day, we are going to a birthday party for Bob's dad. Then tomorrow afternoon the boys get to meet Grandaddy and we are switching houses to stay with my parents till Tuesday.

Wonderful Wednesday...

I love that most Wednesday's that my sweet husband and I are both off work. Today Bob had class till three so I slept in, not as late a yesterday, till about ten. Honestly not much happened today. Izzy and I went for our usual walk and then I went to my WW's meeting for my week two weigh in, which I lost 4.8 pounds this week! (I am so excited) Then when Bob got home we watched "Couples Retreat", that I had rented from the RedBox. It was funny, we hardly ever watch movies together so that was nice. Bob took me to Outback for dinner. I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man, he spoils me! It was a delicious dinner and a nice break from cooking. Overall it has been a great night with my hubby. Izzy has been a little jealous. Anytime we show affection towards each other she tries to insert her self between us. It is actually quite funny. Poor thing thinks she might be left out and is not getting enough attention.

She is a sweetie though, and needs another haircut! Sorry for such a short post tonight but I am going to enjoy the rest of this wonderful night with my hubby!

EKG Class...

I have been in class the past two days. What kind of class you ask. A class on identifying cardiac dysrhythmias for work. Have you have seen and EKG strip?

Here is one:

Try looking a 80 of them, counting the PR intervals and QRS on these tiny blocks inside the darker blocks. My eyes hurt. Then you try to decipher what the rhythm the strip is which at times can be complicated. I am done with the class part but I still have to take an exam (after I study of course). Anyways that is what I have been doing the past two days. Last night since I only had to work till 7 I was able to go to our community group (sadly due to work it is rare for me to be able to go)! I love our community group! It was a great night of food, fellowship, and bible study. We are so blessed to have found a church up here and made new friends. As for tonight I am looking forward to cooking dinner for Mr. Wonderful! Usually when I cook dinner we don't get to eat it together because of our work schedules. Tonight we are having Blue Cheese Stuffed Buffalo Chicken, from Cooking Light Magazine (I hope it is as good as the recipe looks). I love date nights at home!

Fabulous Friday....

Let me just share a little bit about today it was FABULOUS! First off Bob and I both had the day off which is rare! This morning Bob got up and told me to sleep in so I did then later he woke me up to delicious smells. He made a huge breakfast for us- scrambled eggs, grits, bacon, biscuits, and fruit served with coffee and milk!

Mr. Wonderful is simply that wonderful. We enjoyed relaxing, reading, and just spending time together. I had planned on cooking dinner for us but he took me on a date! He is such a sweetheart. We walked outside and guess what, it was snowing, which is funny since we were not forecasted to get any snow until yesterday when they changed it to possible snow and now tonight they say we may get 2-4 inches! (Speaking of snow I know my friends and family in GA (including Albany-can you believe it!) and Mobile, AL enjoyed the snow y'all got today!) I love the snow! Date night plus the beauty of a winter wonderland equals perfection.

Izzy was excited to play in the snow again.

When we got home we made snow cream, and watched the opening ceremonies for the olympics!

I loved today, nothing special just spending time together and enjoying each other's company. We are both back to work tomorrow and then Sunday it is my birthday and Valentine's day!

Hope you had a great Friday.

Goodnight y'all!!

Outing...

"Lord,You are good and Your mercy endureth forever"
Today my sweet husband was off work. It was so much fun to spend time with him, especially since he has to work so much lately. I have been dying to get out of the apartment and since I have had some pretty good improvement in my ability to walk we went out for a bit. It was nice to get out and not over do it. We first went to Belk to return the last duplicates of our wedding gifts. Then Bob and I went to eat dinner at The Remington Grill. It was nice to eat out. The Remington Grill had great food, it was a western grill with yummy hamburgers and chicken fingers. After dinner we went to Target for just a bit and got chairs and a table for our back porch. By the way it pays to wait till July, Target's outside/patio furniture is 75% off!!! So if you need some check it out! We then went home and I propped up my leg. I am happy to report NO PAIN!! God is so good!! If you are wondering like my Nana, I kept my leg propped up in the car and while we were eating during our outing. I was overjoyed about the success of our little outing. After we got home Bob put together the 3-tier shelf on our screened in porch and arranged our new table and chairs. Now I am excited that we finally have furniture on our the porch. Also, our apartment smells wonderful since we made brownies, such a great way to end the day. Today was simply wonderful!!! God has been so good, I can't stop singing His praise!! I PRAISE GOD for such an amazing husband and improvement. Thank you again for the cards and prayers. We will go to the doctor the beginning of next week for more blood work. Please pray this test maintains within normal range and that the improvement continues! Be encouraged God is so good and faithful!!

This is a picture from when we got home tonight.
