Pros and Cons

There are pro's and con's to every situation. I just have to realize that while my husband is away for the night. We have spent the night away from each other before (maybe two nights) but usually I am in richmond with a house full of family and well distracted. Anyways, I am making myself focus on the pro's in this situation. Here they are:

Pro's

*I get to watch any show I want

*I can eat all the good snacks

*THE WHOLE BED

*Special cuddle time with Myah

*I can fall asleep in the dark (David has to watch TV to sleep)

*I can fall asleep in the quiet

*I can watch tv by candle light (Just annoying when other people are in the house)

*I got to go to an AWESOME bridal shower and not worry about getting back

*Computer all to myself

That is a pretty good list I think! The only con I can really think of is missing him but I can live with that for one night.

2010 Census

Since the first census commercial came on my television a couple of months ago I was so excited. First off I think because this is on official record that will forever say that in 2010 our little family consists of me and David. I still to this day get so excited any time that I can write down that I actually got to marry this amazing guy!

Second, the next time I fill out a census who KNOWS what our lives will be like. It is so exciting for me to think about how much our lives will change and how our family will look at that time. We may have 6 kids, we may have one, we may have none. We may have adopted children, foster children, biological children, or none yet (we are still waiting to start that chapter of our lives and you really never know what's going to happen when you try)

Third, Family History!!! Just think if people hadn't done census' years ago. How much harder would it be to find stuff for records and baptisms and that kind of thing. I hear so often people finding great big branches of their family trees from these seemingly simple population counts.

Fourth, I am a SUCKER for filling out forms! I just love checking boxes, filling in blanks, circling or anything else that has to be filled out. I swear if I could find a job where I fill out forms all day I would be in love.

Anyways just thought I would voice my opinion. David makes fun of me for getting excited when I see commercials or the fact that I filled it out and had it back in the mailbox within about 3.2 minutes after receiving it but it is something that you just can't explain!

Baby Zander!!!!

We are so excited!!! We give March 19th a BIG thumbs up because....

Baby Zander Levi Boardman

Was Born March 19th 2010

6 lbs and 18 1/2 Inched Long

And we could not be more excited!!! More pictures to come. He looks so cute and I think alot like Jen. Bobby and Jen live in PA so we were not able to be there for the birth but are hoping to go up soon so we can see him!!! I for one cannot wait to hold our family's new little grandchild! Aiden is not the one and only anymore.

That will be interesting! I told david that Jessie had the first Girl, Bobby had the first Boy, so we will have to have the first twins! He wasn't so excited about the idea of that but I thought it was funny. Anyways, here he is!!

Not so subtle

So Myah has started something pretty interesting lately. The other day we were sitting at home relaxing a little bit. Myah had been pretty good that day and was enjoying the nice weather outside. When we brought her in she started playing with her toys and brought her food bowl to us. I thought she was just trying to play with it (AKA eat it) so I scolded her and put it back. She did this a few more times before we finally put it on the counter.

The next night we were sitting in bed and she jumped up with her water bowl. David noticed that she wasn't playing with it like a normal toy though so he suggested I give her water and see if that's what she wanting. He was mostly kidding thinking she would leave it alone if it was full. So I took it, FILLED it with water (which we hardly ever do because she just makes a mess) and went back in my room.

Five minutes later there she was again with the EMPTY water bowl.

SOMEHOW she has decided that whenever she wants food or what she will just bring us the particular bowl that she wants and get us to fill it up. Who does that!? I think it is so funny that she has figured this out and is pretty nice now since we don't have to check her water and food that often or worry about the food going stale because she doesn't want to eat it right at that moment.

Our dog taught herself a trick! We knew our little mutt was smarter than she looks :)

Best Weekend Ever? Maybe

So these last couple days have been a little tough. I thought they would be great because my boss was going to be on vacation. He is a great boss and everything but who doesn't like it when they aren't being supervised? haha. Anyways I was very wrong. David was sick and it was very stressful and LONG couple days. So yesterday we were driving to our friends house to drop something off and it was raining. I thought to myself "this is going to be the WORST weekend ever" I was even planning on heading to Richmond just to get away from Morehead. Lack of funds made that impossible, but I figured I could keep myself busy and just pretend it wasn't the weekend.

BOY was I wrong! I have never been so glad to be wrong but today I am so excited about. We ALL (David, Myah, AND Me) all woke up in great moods! David was feeling a little bit better and we have great plans! Well as exciting as you can have in Morehead. We are planting some flowers, going to walmart, planning a trip to lowes to plan our future house. I am so excited just to go look and get samples and get started on planning something that most likely won't happen for years.

This week just goes to show you that you cannot always guess what your week (or even day) will look like. So just go with the flow!

I'll post pictures of our flowers, etc later today hopefully.

Organizing made FUN!?

Anyone who like a clean house NEEDS to go to this website. I have recently found that I am slightly addicted. Let it be known my house is FAR from organized but there are SO many ingenious things on this website for almost anything you could need. When we buy a house this will be my second most visited shopping place.

They even have great holiday specials and sales. It makes me inspired instead of making me think "Oh man this is going to take forever to get myself organized".

Anyways here is the website.

www.organize.com

They even have craft supplies and decor!!!

coach calipari

So I work at a print shop and have been training a new girl. When the new girl was not in the front today I went up to make a couple copies for a guy who was waiting patiently. I had seen him before but his story was really neat so I thought I would share it.

He went up to Coach Calipari's office to give him something for his birthday ( I don't know what or why because I was entering the information into the machine at this point and was not listening very well). He talked briefly with Coach Calipari and this guy, lets call him Joe, mentioned that his 6 year old daughter LOVES DeMarcus Cousins.

A couple weeks later, Joe gets something in the mail from Calipari. It is not only a program signed by DeMarcus Cousins, it is a note from him saying thank you for coming up for his birthday and some sweet things to Zoe. How nice is that!? The autographed picture would have been great by itself but a letter from John Calipari is so sweet and thoughtfull!

So this little 6 year old girl decided to say thank you she would write her own note and give both Demarcus Cousins an autographed basketball picture of herself, but also send one to Coach Calipari.

Is that not a sweet sweet story? Not only is he an amazing coach (from what I hear. I really don't keep up with that stuff) he is honestly a thoughtful guy! Who would've known.
