No choice

Life goes on weather you go with it or not. So I am returning certain things to normal...like this blog and work.

Next week all the normal things are back.

Maternity Monday
little Notes Tuesday
Work'n Wednesday
Yoga Thursdays
Update Friday

I also promise myself to run almost every day. You feel so much better when you get a run in the day. Maybe that is part of the sadness. Next week is going to be better.

woot woot!

Love Tower

(borrowed from 'one charming party')
Is this not oh so cute and yummy looking?

This is my plan for Valentine's Day. I think this would be a cute tradition. Each Valentine's morning to have a tower of mini treats for the day. You could also have mini quiches or muffins and such for breakfast. Oh I am exciting about this new tradition!

Speaking of the V-day. This is what my dream Valentine's would look like...
War would set the table all pretty and such...then cook something yummy...then it would be followed by cheesecake with berries....mmmmmmmmmm

I did not get my dream this year but I did get to pick out very awesome Tazinite earring while in Aruba:) I love them! The are just the right size and an awesome blue color instead of the normal more purple hue. Thank you lovehead!

House Love

I am kind of in love with this look for the stairs. I am wondering if War could be talked into Zebra stairs...hmmm? I really am in love!


Ahhh this would help tremendously with my lack of organization!!

Things that distract me...

Blogs...I can escape into others worlds and ignore that something is off in mine right now:)

Do I have to?

I don't wanna return to normal...that is truly the end to a vacation! It is when you return to your everyday routine and nothing feels like you just spent fourteen glorious days enjoying sunshine, warmth to your core, and new cultures (i.e food)! I miss the smell of the salt water in the morning. I miss the wonder of what the new day will have in store. I miss the unknowing. The adventure. The life lived to the fullest with out any glimmer of the dark dark days to come.

Is this a normal reaction to returning home from a vacation? I have broke down at least twice is full on sobs...uncontrollable sobbing. I can not explain what caused it but it starts on a whim and will not stop. Poor poor husband. I heard numerous people say that at the end of their vacation they could not wait to get back to the familiar life of home. I dread it. I DREAD IT!! Does this mean my life isn't what it should be? Hmmm.

We are home

the end:(

VACATION VACATION VACATION!!

So my posting everday has slightly trailed off. I have reason! If I was to posted it would look a lot like the titled or exactly like the title. Becaus ethat is the only inner dialoge in my head right now...

But I am going to use all of my power to actually do a brief recap of the last oh week or so....

1/22/2010: Had some lower intestine "issues" on Thursday night (issues is a nice way of saying I could not and had not pooed in almost two days=super unhappy sucky Crystal) So I stayed home from work took some laxatives (well, one) and helped Kim make some cake for Erin's Party and also went shopping for party supplies. After cleaning up the Kitchen and cleaning out my pipes:D I was happy and we were on our way to see the rental Kimmie had gotten for Erin's surprise Party.

Not Good! Thankfully I have the most super awesome string husband EVER!! We moved furniture like mo fos and maybe the place MUCH better!

1/23/2010- Erin's Surprise Party set-up...Place looked Killer! Once I can steal some photos I will add to the *must post some photos of that list* lol!

Partied like it was 1999...well, problably better since we were in high school still and a good party consisted of Boonesfarm and immature boys...

So we partied with hot mature husbands and *real* alcohol:) plus poprocks...lol! It was for the signature drink, not for our tripping pleasure!

Erin was VERY surprised and eve said it was her BEST birthday EVER! Score lots of points for Kim since Erin was NOT looking forward to turning 30.

1/24/2010- Party clean up, then dinner/late lunch with Warren's uncle Kyle and Aunt Laura, then appitizers and drinks (crystal style with salad and hot tea for me;)) and a movie with Travis and (insert name when I remember it here). Then home late and realize we did NOTHING we had needed to do to get ready to pack before our week started=sucky!!

More updated later cause I want to scream VACATION IN 4 DAYS here in my cubby office...that would not be good. may still do it;)

Leslie's Baby Shower

More ideas for the shower...It is getting much closer!

Nursery Love

Ok the first one is not so much a nursery, but I really want to have a cool fort in our childs bedroom once they are little bit older:) too cute!!

Happy 1 Year

Happy first year married!! There are going to be many many more!! I can not wait to go on our little getaway to celebrate!!
