Lately
Well, here I am hanging out. I wonder why it is that I seem to do some of my best thinking at these crazy hours of the late night/early morning.
Today was a pretty good day. We got out of the house and went to dinner at El Burrito. It's amazing that we're still going there after almost 11 years together and 10 years of marriage. Dan took me there on our first date and now we're taking our kids there.
When did I become a grown up?! I remember when I thought 30 was old. Now I'm on the verge of the big one and it suddenly doesn't feel so old. Perspective is a crazy thing.
Sydney turned 6 months old this week. At dinner today we saw a little baby, probably only a couple of months old, and it made me realize how much she is really growing and changing everyday. She says da da and loves to laugh. She has a funny sense of humor and thinks that her brother is hillarious. She is so precious and innocent. She is beautiful.
Ethan is doing really well at school. We had a little bump in the road last week, but we're okay now. I love him so much. He has the biggest imagination. He says the most random things. Invisible wheels are almost always turning in that head of his. I envy that, the endless possibilities, the vastness of it. He adores his sister and loves to make her laugh and talk to her. Syd was looking at him tonight at dinner and I realized what a special bond they will always have. They're kindred souls.
Looking ahead to this next week, we have a visit planned to go see Grandma and Grandpa Cornia. I've missed seeing them and they'll get to meet Sydney for the first time. They weren't able to come down due to Grandpa's health. He has to stay pretty close to home because he's on oxygen. He is doing well otherwise though. He turned 90 a little while ago and they just celebrated 69 years of marriage. I wonder if Dan and I will be like them in 59 years. I hope so.
Reflection is the name of the game today I guess. Until next time....

Days Go By
Days go by. When I think about the last little while I'm reminded of that lyric in a Keith Urban song. Days really seem to be going by, and fast. A lot has happened over the last little while. Dan went and worked out of town again for a week, we got Ethan's paperwork for kindergarten, and we've just been doing daily stuff. Some days it seems as though I get to the end of the day exhausted from being busy without really knowing what I've been busy with.
Today was pretty cool. I found out that my brother Josh and his wife Elisa are having a baby boy. It's a little surreal that he's going to be a dad. I mean, this was the little brother I grew up with. He was the one who would make up silly songs with me on car trips and who would run through the sprinklers with me. He's going to be a daddy! It's exciting but hard to wrap my head around at the same time. He'll be a great dad, but it's just weird that we're both married and now we'll both have kids.
We've been a little under the weather at our house as of late. Sydney I think is the last one to be working through the cold. I went through it and am almost done, thank goodness. I only hope she gets over it soon. It's hard to see your baby sick, especially when they're too young to take any medicine except Tylenol...no cough medicine or decongestants.
I finally read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins this weekend. It was a quick read, it only took me a few hours...I think four or five, but it was a good story. I just got the second book of the series from the library today. I'm excited to start reading it.
All in all, we're doing pretty well. I'm holding it together most days, which is what most hope for I think. I still deal with my anxiety disorder and all that it entails, but I'm working through it.
Until next time.

Today's Update
Well, I have to say, this week was a bit tough. Dan went and worked for a week at a hospital in Pennsylvania. It will help us pay stuff off a lot faster, so it was worth it, but it wasn't easy having him gone. He is going to go out again sometime this month, but it probably won't be for as long. It was the longest we've been apart in about 9 years. It is so nice to have him home! I honestly don't know how you full time single parents do it. I only did it for a week and I'm exhausted!
We had a pretty good week here at home. Ethan was off school for Spring Break so we tried to do things here at home. I'm really grateful for my parents this week. They really helped out. My mom watched the kids for me one night while Jenn and I did a session at the Bountiful Temple and went to dinner afterward.
We dyed eggs at my mom's and had an Easter lunch/dinner with them. It was really nice. My mom also watched the kids for me so I could go get my hair cut. I was getting sick of my long hair so I cut about 4 or 5 inches off. I love it! It's so much fuller.
Today was pretty normal. Ethan got his hair cut and we went to Costco. I worked on a baby afghan and then we went and picked up Dan at the airport.
I'm SO glad our family is all under one roof again and I'm truly grateful for the blessing of Dan being able to go and have this opportunity. It's hard having him gone, it's a sacrifice for all of us, but it's helping our family move forward, so I'm happy. Heavenly Father really sustained me this week. I'm so grateful for that.
