A Day Off

Yippee! Dan and I are finally getting a day off to go and enjoy our marriage. Our anniversary is Monday and so we are going to be driving up to Madison, Wisconsin to stay in a nice hotel downtown. Oh, you ask me how we can do this with a 4 month old? My awesome, kind, loving sister(love ya Sarah) is going to be taking him for the night. Believe me, that is quite possibly one of the nicest things she could ever do because the little guy is a pain at night.

Sarah has always had it easy with her kids so now she is getting a little taste of what I deal with every day of my life. Luke doesn't like to sleep and getting him to sleep is a big chore. He fights to the death and he believes in screaming too. Sometimes he will scream for an hour till he falls asleep. We have tried everything! We have fed him right before he lays down, given him baths, given him massages, we even tried reading to him. Nothing works! He hates to sleep. Did I mention that he still wakes up every 5-6 hours?

Anyways, since we will be "Lukeless" I intend to enjoy my night. I bought a gorgeous dress and Dan is going to take me somewhere nice to eat. I love fine dining and will use any reason to go. Of course on our anniversary I expect to be taken somewhere nice. We are going to see if we can find somewhere to go after we eat but I don't really know Madison so I guess we will have ot ask around and talk to our friends that live up there.

I am so excited though! I hoep to come back and be refreshed. I will be posting pictures whenever we get back and I will share with you all the joys of being childless again( I wouldn't trade LUke for anything though).

I'm Back!

So it has been awhile since I have blogged but I am back and I hope that I can keep it up for awhile.

My life has been crazy as of recently. December 14th my Grandfather passed away and that was really tough on me. I really loved him and I am going to miss in my life.

In fact, I really missed him last week because I spent almost a week in the hospital with Luke. I knew that my Grandpa would've called everyday to see how my little man was doing. Luke had RSV and we discovered that he has asthma. They can't actually say that he has asthma until he is 2 but it's what he has.

I chopped my hair! Here are some before and after pictures.

I hope to be on more so look for more posts.
