Cyber Tag Anyone?

Yay! I was cyber tagged by Becky (thanks!)! I am so excited to be included in this. It's a first. Here's the directions - Share five random and/or weird facts about yourself and then share the five top places on your “want to see or want to see again” list, finally tag five people at the end.

1. Upon coming to seminary I shut myself off to making new friendships. I saw it as a temporary thing and then we got to go home (or wherever). That was stupid! So now I kick myself because we're about to graduate and I still don't REALLY know people.

2. When I was 11 I danced on stage in Nashville at Fan Fair for The Moffatts doing the Caterpillar Crawl. Yeah, I was big stuff.

3. I do what Phillip calls climate control. At bedtime when I'm all covered up, I put one leg on top of the covers not covered up. It keeps me from getting too hot while sleeping and if it gets cold I just cover it right back up. Pretty ingenious if you ask me!

4. I danced for 16 years. Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, you name it. I lived breathed and ate dance. I taught, took lessons, competed, and even went to a Fame-esque high school where my major was.. yep, dance. (Not weird or random, just little known)

5. I have never sneaked out a window. My parents gave us freedom with limits and I never felt the need to sneak out. If I had ever wanted to I would have just gone out the door. They slept pretty soundly. But I've never gone out the door in the middle of the night either. Right before I got married, I climbed out my window just to say I had and the n I walked back in the front door.


Places to go:
1. Puerto Vallarta Mexico- want to go back! It was our honeymoon spot!
2. Cancun Mexico- want to go back. It is the most awesome beach I've ever seen.
3. New Zealand - After LOTR I really want to see it, looks pretty.
4. London - I don't care if it rains, I want to see the sights!
5. I would love to travel Rome, Greece, Patmos, Jerusalem (all of the Bible places) just to have a good understanding of what I read about.

So there you go. I tag Ginger, Shaunna, AK, Erin, and Stacey.

Have fun!

How Old Are You..

When you blog about weather? I don't care, we have been experiencing some weird weather here in the StL. Two days ago we had an amazing day. It got up to 73 degrees by lunch time and it was gorgeous. Then around 2:30 the temperature dropped and it STARTED SNOWING!!! How does that happen? The temp dropped 40 degrees in about 30 minutes. It got down to 4 degrees overnight. So from about 1:30 in the afternoon to about 4 in the morning it dropped 70 whole degrees. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. Totally worth blogging about I think. That same night we lost power. It was off for about an hour and it came back on. For all of 5 minutes! Then it was gone again. We went out to eat and by the time we got home the lights were back on. Yay for not having to pile a baby, 2 parents, and a dog in the same bed! Anyway, I hope your Thursday morning is going well. It's almost Friday!

Yummy Goodness

Day 3 of sequential blogging. I may be getting better at this! Anyway today I had Noodles and Company for lunch oh my goodness ya'll, sooo good! I discovered it while with child. Get the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese with Parmesan Chicken mmmmmm! It is probably THE WORST thing on the menu to get but totally worth it. They also have a cucumber and tomato salad. Awesome! Anyway, thought I'd share!

We Turned 4!

Well, life has been great so far. Miss Adeline is still an easy baby and very good natured. She is finally gaining weight. It took going to a GI doctor to get her there but we are on the right track. Right before Christmas we took her in to her pediatrician just to be weighed and she hadn't gained much. The doctor was concerned and sent us to the GI the next day, delaying our trip home a day. The GI sent us to do a sweat test for Cystic Fibrosis. It came back negative. This was the 3rd time a screening was done. I had a test done when I was pregnant, Adeline had one in the hospital as part of a newborn screening, and then this one. They were all negative. The GI had us start adding extra formula to what we were already giving her. Leaving the amount the same but, adding extra powder. This increased her calories per serving and did the trick. We went back exactly 2 weeks later and Adeline had gained 2 1/2 pounds! She has continued to gain and she goes Saturday for her 3 month check-up. I am anxious to see how much she weighs now! The child has rolls on her legs!

We celebrated 4 years on December 13th. We had someone watch Adeline for the first time and we went to dinner at The Melting Pot. It was amazing! Neither of us had ever been before and we are both wanting to go back again! While we were eating, Phillip told me that he has been accepted into the ThM program! So he is starting to take classes this semester to get a head start. Also, he told me what he got me for our anniversary because it hadn't been delivered yet! He got me cashmere! Gloves and a hat to go with the new coat he got me for my birthday! Then during dessert, he gave me an envelope. When I opened it there was a piece of paper folded in half that said "Open for your surprise...", when I opened it there was a picture of the Nashville skyline. He gave me Nashville! We're going home!!!! He is able to do his ThM distance so we get to be home and still have him be in school! I cried right there at the table. I was so excited. Totally unexpected but totally accepted!

That's all for now. We seriously don't have anything going on worth blogging about. I don't want to bore you! Until next time....
