Sex and the City

I am so excited for this to come out on Friday! I know crazy - but I am a fan of Sex and the City! All I need to do is rally some girls up for dinner and a movie - what an awesome chick night... Steve hates it when I watch reruns on television - so I know he will not be game for seeing this in the theatre. 

Surgery

So I've schedule my surgery - June 11th! I know I know it's only 3 weeks away - but it's really the best time to have this procedure done. My parents are going to come down - and give us a hand with Mason and me of course! I am going to take 2 weeks off from work - and hopefully lose lots of weight while on the liquid diet! just kidding... 

True Friends

What a wonderful night I had last night. I rode BART into the city, which for starters was quite relaxing. I just listened to my ipod, and people watched - you know you love to people watch. I met Jayme, Jessica, and Amber for dinner at a thai restaurant Osha - which was great. I have known these girls since elementary/junior high days - I think that is amazing! Whenever we get together - sometimes even years go by - we just pick up where we left off. I am very fortunate to have such loving, supportive, fun friends - thanks girls for a great night on the town. I look forward to many more in the future. 

Tonsillectomy!

Ever since I was little I have always had a problem with my throat in one way or another. Growing up I had enlarged lymph nodes in my neck - they were like golf balls under my jaw, and starting in high school I have had chronic tonsillitis. I get what they call "tonsil stones" stuck in the holes in my enlarged tonsils. I  know gross - that's what Steve says everyday when I have to stick a q tip in my throat to get them out! If I leave them in they build up leading to a sore throat, halitosis, and then flu like symptoms. I know crazy - then when I get them out the symptoms go away for a few days until they start to build up again! All my life the doctors have told me to just deal with it! Well 29 or so years later - I finally pushed to see an ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor, and today he told me that I need my tonsils removed. He said that it is not safe for me to be digging around with a q tip in my throat, and that could lead to bleeding and infection! So I will let you all know - I haven't scheduled a date yet - but will soon! I am very scared to have surgery - but also looking forward to no more q tip digging days...Gross I can't believe I just told you all that!

Precious Moments...

It's amazing how fast these little one's grow up, and how quickly you forget how little they once were. Mason is almost 10 months old - and it seems like it was so long ago that he was this little guy that could curl up on my chest and sleep. I have already forgotten about the sleepless nights in the rocking chair, every 2-3 hour feedings, and the new feeling of being a mother. I am just amazed at my son, and love watching him grow. 

Hot Hot Hot

I think it's somewhere around 100 degrees today. Mason and I needless to say stayed indoors most of the day today, with the exception of going in the pool. I filled it up first thing this morning, and by 230 it was like bath water. Of course he went in his birthday suit - there's no other way right. He played for a good 45 minutes, until his feet were good and prune like. I also worked on putting Mason's pictures into the album today. I am way behind (since xmas) and with digital I seem to have hundreds on hand. I am not a scrap booker (never will be) so just putting them in an album is great accomplishment for me! It's safe to say that I have hundreds left to sort through. 

What to cook for dinner, I have this problem often. This heat wave makes it worse - a salad sounds good (had taco salad last night), skewers and rice (too hot to cook over a stove), maybe we should just go out...

Miss You!

Im feeling very sad right now. My mom just left our house - and will be heading back to humboldt tomorrow. We had such a great time with her here visiting. Every time she leaves we make the goodbye's short and sweet so we don't get too teary eyed. We both always cry though - this time I feel like I am crying a bit more. Maybe it's the PMSing or just that I hate it when she leaves. I hate that we live so far away from one another - but I really don't want to move back to Humboldt and well they are just not ready to retire yet. My mom is my best friend and I just love hanging out with her - we talk everyday - and well it's more like multiple times a day. I love you mom - and even though I know you will be back in four weeks I still miss you right now. 

Nonie Visiting

My mom is in town this week - and these are the days that I look forward to! Today we had lunch with my aunt, and cousin at one of our favorite places Denica's. Mason met a  friend there - Jen (my  cousin) was babysitting Taylor. She's 15 months - they had a great time eating lunch by one another - looking at each other and touching hands! Then we took Mason to swim lessons. 

Since I worked all day yesterday - I took my mom out to fondue tonight to celebrate mothers day - today! Yum we had cheese and chocolate fondue... So much fun there! My mom leaves Wednesday - and we will miss her very much, but she will be back very soon!

Happy Mother's Day

Today was my first mother's day - and yes I had to work all day... But Steve and Mason had a great day. They first went to Grams house (Steve's parents) and had lunch with her, and his sisters family. Then he went to my aunts house to be with Nonie (my mom). When I got home from work Mason had made me this sign with his hand prints on it! I LOVE IT!!! It just made my day - I look forward to all the home made presents in years to come! They just melt your heart! Thanks Mason...

Being a mother has been the greatest gift. Thank you Mason for coming into our lives - I love you so much - 

More Birthday Pics!

My Birthday Day

This morning Steve came home with Noah's bagels and their strawberry cream cheese - my new favorite! Then we took Mason and Zena to Sycamore Grove for an hour long walk - This place is great. It feels like you are no longer in the city - just the wilderness around you. In the afternoon we went to Campo Di Bocce, played bocce ball, had food and drinks with great friends. Thank you all for spending the day with me - I had a great Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 29th Birthday - WOW - next year 30... Hard to believe. It seems like every year goes by faster than the next. I have accomplished so much in the past 29 years - and I have so much to be thankful for. I have an amazing set of parents, brother, sister and extended family that love and support me. I finished college 4 years ago - work at a great hospital - and I love my job (how many people can say that)! I married the most wonderful man - he makes my life easier! We have created a home together - and even though it is small - it's our own, our first, and our pride and joy... then finally we created the cutest, most loving son ever! Life was not complete until Mason was born. I love my life - so Happy Birthday to Me! and I look forward to the years ahead!

So I took today off to celebrate my Birthday! This morning were going to have Noah's bagels, and coffee. Then this afternoon were going to play Bocce Ball at a restaurant here in town. As you know Steve and I never have days off together - so today will be extra special with a day together!
