Its Been Too Long



Alan left at the beginning of the month on a trip for work and a lot of play. A very well deserved trip. He has been to Taiwan, stopped in Japan, and last in Hawaii. He loves to hike and has been able to see so many beautiful places on this trip. But I miss him like crazy! This is the longest we have been apart and knowing that he could be home right now pretty much sucks. He is stuck at the airport in Hawaii not knowing when he will be able to come home. They all went on buddy passes and just as my friend told me they would most likely get stuck. He can't really go any where so he can try and make every flight possible. I have surgery coming up next week (I wont even be able to pick Mason up for 3 weeks!!!) and a very important Doc appointment the day before. So lets all cross every limb we have so he can make it home!!!

Got Milk?

Mason: milk...Milk...MILK...MMMIIILLK!!!

Mommy: Mason that isn't how we ask. You need to say,"milk please."

Mason: Please (signing please at the same time)

Mommy: You need to put the two words together, showing two fingers and putting them together, and say,"milk please."

Mason: Good job!

Mommy: Smiling and laughing so hard I couldn't resist. He got his milk

My Adventure - day 1

The flight over to Tokyo was super long. I think it was 12 hours. When we got to tokyo some girls came up to us to take a picture with Carl! Leaving Tokyo was kinda difficult for me because my passport expires 6 months from the 15th and it is more expensive to be in Taiwan with less than 6 months left on your passport. When we got our tickets to Taiwan we saw they were close to the front 14a prem. which we found out later meant first class!! You should have seen my smile!! First class was awesome as you can see in the pictures. I slept too much and now it is 12 midnight here and 9 am home.

I Need Some Motivation Here

The list of goals that I have on the side are more just for me to remember to keep doing them. Well they are supposed to anyway. If my goals could talk I wonder what they would be yelling at me... "Stop waiting until the end of the month!" or "Remember we talked about this, being consistent?" or "I think you missed one last week!" hmmmm yea, this is a lot harder then I thought. BUT I'm doing it. The hardest one for me is Family Home Evening. We are with each other every night so you would think I could remember this simple task once a week, WRONG (does that word look weird to you the longer you stare at it?). I think I've done it a possible 3 times. 3 times more than last year! So that's good right?
Well so far this year I have read my scriptures every night but twice (trust me I felt uber guilty) and I just finished Alma. Hurray! I have to pat myself on the back for this one, I've never read it so fast. Alan and I have gone to the temple each month and plan on doing some thing different each week which makes it even more enjoyable to get the full temple experience. And I believe I have so far successfully written a post at least once a week. Now lets just see if I can keep this all up!
As for not so uplifting goals, fitting into smaller jeans.... I wish I could say that I'm working on it but lets be real. I have zero motivation for some crazy reason. I'm in the same jeans before I had mason, I actually never changed even while I was prego. I just want to be at that happy medium from when we got married to now. I see the quote all the time, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". I worked for about a day and then peeps came out in the stores and I was ruined. I can eat a whole box in one sitting after they have sat opened for about a week to get a little hard. oh yummy goodness. On a good note, I found a website that gives you a different work out to do every day. I CAN DO IT!
