oh 30

November 8, 2010Randomness0
Yesterday I turned 30. There I said it. No second 29th, 29 and holding or anything like that. Just 30. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Although I am not sure why I thought it would be scary at all. None of my other birthdays have scared me. Chuck sneakily gave...

Today was my 30th birthday and our 6 year anniversary! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by! Chuck started out the day by giving me a present. He found lots of goodies I like (treats, snacks, candy) and also wrapped up a ring inside a bag of peppermint kisses. It was so cute!...

chicken cordon bleu turnovers

You'll never guess…this is another Let's Dish meal. This was not what I expected when I made this. I was picturing more of a Hot Pocket of sorts. But I was in for a pleasant, tasty surprise! This is what they looked like when I opened them from the packaging they were in. The turnovers...

We also did some breathing and relaxation exercises and learned about some other ways to sleep with various pillows. Next week, we watch our first birthing video...

We had a nice weekend. I took Friday off (which is something I never do). I did a few things around the house since I am too tired when I get home from work to do anything. Then my brother and his girlfriend came over Friday night to hang out and play pool. We had...

tiles

We finally got around to buying tiles for our backsplash. We have been talking about tiling the backsplash since we moved into our hose a year and a half ago. All I had to do was pick out tiles. Of course….I never did. So we went out and picked some that we liked. We haven't...

I never got a call back telling me my results from my glucose test. So I called and they told me everything was fine. I think they said my number was 96 and they want it under 130. So she said I was good. Phew! I was told my hemoglobin level was a little low....

baby gifts

We have received a few baby gifts from people. The very first gift were some baby socks. They are so tiny! I can still hardly believe that a little person will fit in those things! The first toy she got was this adorable little elephant/blanket. The first little outfit she got was this one! It's...

polynesian chicken with island rice

This meal is from Let's Dish. I am starting to think that maybe I am becoming quite the spokesperson for them with all the meals I post. 🙂 This meal was really simple to make. First you get the rice cooking. I think the bag of rice had butter, lime zest and onion in it....

belly pictures

I have been taking pictures of my belly when I am getting ready for bed. I have made a little gallery of them if you are interested. There are a few mixed in there that are ones Chuck took. They are much better than the ones I have been taking from my phone. But this...

We read on one of our phone baby apps that if Chuck puts his ear on my belly he might be able to hear baby’s heartbeat. So we tried it. Chuck said he could hear my heartbeat, but not baby’s. A second later, she winds up and kicks him in the ear! He heard a...

Linda and I went shopping for some material so she can make some curtains for the baby’s room. Since we painted the room a green color, I wanted to do pink curtains. It’s going to be so cute! I can’t wait to see how they turn out!

The baby's room is coming along nicely. Last weekend, we picked out, purchased and set up the crib and dresser for the baby's room. I love them!!! We will get the crib mattress next week. And we don't have the bedding yet, but I am hoping someone purchased it off our registry! And I took...

Chuck and I went to a gopher hockey game tonight. I hadn’t been to a gopher game in so long! I was glad we went when we did, because after putting on my sweatshirt, my jersey hardly fit! By the end of the game, I had to pull it up because it was too tight...

Today marked one year since my dear dad passed awa Today marked one year since my dear dad passed away. 💔 

I woke up early and saw the sun rise, then made the kids breakfast and went into work for a while. I knew if I sat around all day, I’d be sad…and my dad wouldn’t want that. 

When I got home, the kids and I sprinkled some of his ashes under the trees we planted in his memory. Then we hopped on the kayaks and sprinkled some by the buoy straight out from our house. Dannie and I listened to some voicemails he left me. It was so good to hear his voice. I listen to them sometimes just to hear him say “Hey Mo!”. 🥰 

I worked on a puzzle for a few minutes (because that’s how I spent a lot of my time when he was sick and after he died) before taking Dannie to hockey. On the way home from her game, my alarm went off for the time he died. So I had a good cry listening to “Miss You All The Time” by OAR (which is my alarm ringtone). Chuck made me a delicious dinner and then I put the kids to bed. Before bed, I curled up on the couch and watched a show with Chuck. 

I spent time thinking of him today and also doing everyday things. Because that is what living with grief and missing someone is. There are moments to stop and remember and honor them, but also mostly doing everyday things.

I love you, dad and I miss you tons. I can’t believe you’ve been gone a whole year. I wish you were here to talk to about and enjoy all these everyday things with us. 😘
Dannie’s @furyaaa_hockey team took 2nd place in Dannie’s @furyaaa_hockey team took 2nd place in a tournament last weekend. This was the longest game I’ve ever been to. 3 15 minute periods, ice between 2nd and 3rd, then three over times which was about 30 seconds from being a shootout before the other team scored. It was so fun to watch these girls play their hearts out! ❤️🏒

Our summer training program (STP) for hockey ended Our summer training program (STP) for hockey ended last week. This was my car every Friday for both girls to skate then Dannie’s goalie practice. It takes up our mornings for a big chunk of summer. With all three kids playing, we were at the rink 5 mornings a week. But it is also the most requested to do again by all three kids. ❤️🏒🥅

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
