just because

good grief. jay was gone on a staff retreat last tues - thurs. so gman and i had some sweet alone time. sad part is that G wasn't feeling 100%. took him to the doctor on tuesday. they gave him $30 cough syrup (what?!) and said he would be fine. even checked his ears and said they looked good. by friday he seemed better. still congested but seemingly happy. we had a wedding rehearsal that night but bc jay had been gone most of the week i skipped friday nights festivities and stayed with g.  THANK THE LORD jay came home and skipped rehearsal dinner bc by 7pm g was NOT himself. crying uncontrollably (he hardly cries...) jay took him to our room and laid down with him. and he was not ok. his eyes were rolling back in his head, fever super high and we could tell he was in PAIN. like fools we thought it was bc of an ulcer on his tongue. he kept pointing to it so we thought that was it. put oragel on it and hoped for the best. no such luck. we were up all night. i cried

today i am wearing my shirt with jays initials on it :)  its one of my favs. i love jay. a lot. i loved him before he loved me (in the loooove, romantic way) i like the he looks kinda scary but he's really the nicest person you'll ever meet. i like knowing he could kick some tail if he needed to. i have seen him attack someone. random story...it was the sunday before our wedding. we were driving to my parents house for supper and some guy on the side of the road was throwing rocks at cars. he hit the car in front of us and hit our windshield. jay pulled over as did the car ahead of us. jay and the other guy chased down the rock thrower. the guy tried to climb a fence. jay pulled him down and held him in headlock until the police arrived. it was cool. jay doesn't get mad easily. but he was pissed. i was mad but more mad that this idiot rock guy was making me late for supper. home girl gets ill when its time to eat. back to jay... i like that he does stupid th

i think that life is hilarious. granted there are things that suck and make life hard/sad...but so many things crack me up. let's talk about some.... i have already decorated for christmas. i LOVE christmas lights. but i am too embarrassed to hang my wreath on my front door. so i still have two scarecrow looking things on my porch...and it's christmas inside. i figured out that cheerios jack my stomach up....badly. the reason this is funny is b/c if i eat them and then go running...it's not good hahaha. watch out! i think it's funny that my dad sends emails that just say what he demands haha. nothing else. no hello, no i love you...just info. cracks me up every time. gabe loves spicy things. that makes me laugh. salsa, peppers, etc. he's keeping to his latino roots :) here's a funny thing.... i'll be 35 friday. that is entirely TOO close to 40 for my comfort. but here's the funny part... i have pretty much every symptom of being PRE-MENOPAUS

i wish that my blogs were profound and full of wisdom. but i'm pretty sure that's never going to be the case. i'm not theological and i don't think before i start a blog so let's just let that dream go! happy friday. i have had an interesting, somewhat challenging couple weeks...spiritually. we have a girls staff growth group on thursday afternoons led by Dee Dee Stephens. it is the highlight of my work week. i love it. i just want to take a minute and tell you how much i LOVE D2. seriously, she is fabulous. she's honest, encouraging, WISE, loving and faithful. she's walked through a lot of junk with me and i am a better Christian, wife, mom, and employee because of it. everyone should get to spend time with D2. it's only fair. anyway, our group is fun. someone (almost) always cries. we share very honestly about everything. i appreciate the fact that D2 doesn't even mind if we share about work stress or discouragement. the past couple weeks
