"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." - Harry Burns, When Harry Met Sally.

I Burnt the Cookies

Grant kindly asked me if I would make cookies.

I did. And I put them in the oven.

And then I left the room.

And then half an hour later, I came back into the kitchen.

And then I smelled them.

OOPS.

My kitchen stinks.

They are a lovely shade of black.

I'm just glad I ate a little bit of dough before I put them in the oven.

Maybe I subconsciously burned the cookies on purpose because I did a lot of exercising  today and I knew the cookies would ruin it all my hard work.

Poor cookies.

Poor husband.

Long and Lean

My freshman year of college, I took a ballet class three days a week for a dance credit. That's what happens when you're a Musical Theater major :)

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I would change into pink tights and a leotard and spend my morning at the barre in my tiny pink ballet shoes. I remember leaving there always feeling very exhausted, but like I had just had a great stretch!

If I look at pictures from my freshman year of college, it's one of those "MAN, I wish I still looked like that!". I didn't look so short and squatty.  Not so many curves. Longer lines. I miss it...

I really think it was the ballet. All the leaping and stretching made me very toned. Do they have adult ballet classes? I mean, I'm not looking to become the world's best ballet dancer (and let me tell you, that is the world's largest improbability) but I am thinking I'd like to take ballet again at a beginner level but with the adult folk. Not so much with the 3 year olds.

I just wanna be lean and not squatty.

Anybody wanna take a ballet class with me? ;)

Move That Bus!

Well, the night started out rough.

Our van got broken into AGAIN. The battery was stolen from it AGAIN. And the bus wasn't cooperating.

AGAIN.

But, by the power of prayer (and some muscle men) we got things rollin' and got the kiddos home safely.

We get by with a little help from our friends :)
