reading: just finished Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. umm, don't worry, i started and finished it in one day, and i sort of had a crying spree at the end of it. that book was amazing to me on a level i haven't felt before, and made me realize not to take Brett for granted and that i would probably die if anything happened to him. seriously, really good book. i highly recommend it.
waiting for: it to be tomorrow afternoon at 2pm because that means our talks will be over with. we are speaking in sacrament meeting tomorrow, and i always forget how much i hate speaking how nervous i get to speak until i have to. it sucks. i am dreading it and cannot wait for it to be over.
excited about: our trip to San Diego to visit my sister, brother in law and sweet little nephew. we leave a month from tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited. we need a getaway :)
missing: being able to drink any soda i want. i had to get off caffeine about a month ago because my heart started to flutter, and that's not a good sign. so i've been off it a month, and after having a 3-day withdrawl that consisted of a migraine from H, it's been good. but, it's no fun having to pick and choose what i can and can't drink. i'm still getting used to that.
trying to: get the motivation to get back in my workout routine. i was on such a roll when we lived at my mom's. it was the first thing i did in the morning and i just loved it. ever since we moved and i hurt my back in the process, i haven't done it. i am going to hopefully have the self-control to start my routine up again this week.
working on: reading everyday with Dylan. i love reading with him, it's just amazing how easy it is to forget to do it. but we went from not reading hardly at all to pretty much everyday. go us :)
enjoying: lazy days by the pool. i have not been taking advantage of using my mom's pool to it's full potential, but i fully plan on doing that the next couple of months while it's still open. Dylan and i have a goal to go over there at least 3 times a week so we can cool off and so mommy can get some much-needed sun.
using: my oven and stove. a lot lately. i am sure they missed getting used. we have been cooking at home a lot lately and it's been great!
planning: to do a lot of fun things in San Diego. we wanted to go to Disneyland, but we aren't so sure our budget will let us do that. but Seaworld and the San Diego zoo are definitely going to get hit up, and hopefully Knotts Berry Farm or Universal will get a visit from us as well.
singing: primary songs to Dylan. he LOVES when we sing to him, i swear he thinks we are praising him and he just basks in all his glory. it's adorable.
needing: deeper sleep. this is, and always has been, a massive problem for me. but lately, it's been worse. i am waking up every hour for no reason, and i wear ear plugs to drown out Brett's snoring. i think it's the paranoid side of me making sure there are no robbers in our bedroom, because Brett wouldn't hear them if they came in on a 747
learning: to not get angry at little things (aka Dylan not napping when he's supposed to) because i am realizing that regardless if i get angry or not, it won't change the situation. having a good attitude is much better and makes the situation seem like it's not a big deal, and it's not unless i make it one.
listening: to Spotify is the best thing ever. my sweet husband introduced me to the Spotify world today and i must say it's amazing.
wishing: that my migraines would get the H out of here and never return.
doing: getting geared up to go to Flaming Gorge next week with our friends. it will be a lot of fun, but we are crossing our fingers that Dylan cooperates through the drive and during the nights.
praying for: a sweet family we saw on the news last week that are trying to raise money to give their one-year old chemotherapy because he has cancer. hearing that story literally broke my heart.
dreaming of: the day that my house is perfect in my eyes. i don't see that time coming anytime soon since i would have to win the lottery to do everything in my dreams to fix it or tweak little things, but for now, it's perfect for us :)
there's my update. sorry my blog has been dead lately. i will have stuff to blog about in the coming weeks with Flaming Gorge and San Diego though. Wahoo!!
