We picked up our new table last week along with the oil painting that Charlie added sneakily to the layaway bill for my Christmas present. The other table was so brittle and old it fell apart when Charlie moved it.
I can't decide what I am more excited over, the table or my tapestry? Either way I love them both!
Last Friday I went with my mom and two of my sisters to see Carmen at the opera. We also went to Benihana's. I always love seeing live performances and learning new culture. The opera was wonderful and beautiful! We started this tradition of birthday outings for just us girls about a year ago or more I think, and we really enjoy ourselves. Dummy me forgot my camera but it will not be forgotten!
Then on Sunday we went out with my mom and Randy for Charlie's birthday at Rodizio Grill. It was a lot of fun mainly to see him blush the way he did when the waiter sang a Brazilian birthday song to him. I think that is the first time I've ever seen that man blush in all the 7+ years we've been together. Savannah really enjoyed the song and asked them to sing it again.
Caught these two snuggling the other morning! Priceless!
Savannah's quilt is a work in progress. I just need a little more time and it will be done - I think if I gave it one good day that is all it would take, however with all we been up to lately I have almost forgotten it.
Savannah is starting Girl Scouts and is very excited. I think it will be good to have the same aged girls that she went to preschool with and her dance class there with her as she is always making new friends. It was either Girl Scouts or Awanis club, but Scouts seemed to be more appealing as it was less driving for me.
Speaking of Savannah it is her birthday today! Well at 4 :20 pm that is. She is soo excited yet she came down with a yucky cold yesterday and so I hope she will feel good enough to have her party tomorrow. She has it all planned out. She and her cousin MattieJo and her long time friend Riley are hitting up McDonald's of course to play and get a free toy, then we are going to grandma's for cake and ice cream, then we are hitting up the mini "tee's" at Trafalga. Ever since we took Savannah there one night, she has asked to go back so many times.
I CAN'T BELIEVE 6 YEARS HAS GONE BY! The days do go by faster than you think!
I love having afternoons to myself on Friday's, I was able to get a lot done today. I set her presents out on the kitchen counter to surprise her when she gets home, only she'll have to wait until the party to open them. I know I am so mean to make her wait. But how exciting is it when you are a kid and there are presents just waiting for your little fingers to rip open?
Our Vacation to California has been officially moved up to March 2nd. I am very glad in that I so need a break from work. I am getting burned out on ungrateful customers and policies and procedures that I could scream! We were lucky enough to get our rooms changed in the nick of time and we've saved enough that we only need to worry about how to payoff our tickets for the amusement parks at this point. I am just happy we are still able to go, there was a period of time that I was a bit worried due to his job.
Charlie's official date to leave for Wisconsin is April 5th and I'm not so sure I am ready yet for him to be gone for 6 months. Hopefully we will be able to attend his family reunion this summer so we shall see.
Lots of stuff goin' on!
