First off, Happy 32nd Birthday to my handsome hubby today! Love ya! It sounds like he wants to go out of town to his favorite Chinese Buffet tonight, so that is the plan. Right now he is out fixing the brakes on my car – they have issues… It’s so nice to have a husband who knows how to fix that kind of thing!

I was thinking in the shower this morning of some things I am looking forward to…

1.) Since I was in the shower the first thing that came to mind was getting my hair cut. I had it cut short last fall (well, not super short, but short for me – above the shoulder) and I really like it that way. I kept it up until I got pregnant. Now it is driving me in sane – it is that length where it is too short to put up, but too long to do anything with. It has been driving me crazy for about a month, but every time I tried to make an appointment they were either closed, off to lunch etc. I finally made an appointment the other day, but of course I couldn’t get in for almost a month. Oh well… something to look forward to towards the end of the month! This time I will be making an appointment for 8 weeks out while I am there!

2. Morning Sickness to go away! I am 14 weeks pregnant now – it is time for that to end. It is getting much better, but even this past week I had several long periods of time where I just felt sick. That could end anytime now and I would be grateful.

3. Shorts weather to arrive. Ryan and Christian are in the habit of putting holes in a pair of pants about once a week these days. (it’s driving me crazy!) They are running out of pants! The rule at school is no holes at all (not even tiny ones) so shorts weather needs to show up soon or they are going to be out of pants to wear! I really don’t want to buy new pants for a few weeks that they will outgrow before fall. I am guessing just about 3-4 more weeks, so we’ll see if we can hang on that long!

4. We’re escaping! Next week the boys don’t have school Wed – Fri. Well, I take that back they weren’t SUPPOSED to have school Wed. but now it is a half day to make up a snow day, but I’m letting them skip it. Anyway, it is so hard as a pastor’s family to get away – we can’t just leave on the weekend, and we couldn’t leave for Easter break because let’s see… Matt had services Thur. Fri. and Sun of that break which was Thur – Mon. (not exactly easy to get away). So, I am a member of a travel deals newsletter and the best deal landed in my e-mail box – I just had to take advantage of it. We are going here: Chula Vista Resort Everyone is really excited. It is a huge indoor waterpark, we are staying in a big family suite, and we got the all-inclusive package that includes all our food and drinks! The boys can hardly contain their excitement, and I have to admit I am pretty excited too. Now, let’s just hope the maternity swimsuits I ordered arrive in time and actually fit…

5. Gardening – It is getting to be almost that time! I guess we better plot out the garden and decide what we want to plant this year. I know we are planning on more strawberries and raspberries and Matt has his peppers in a homemade greenhouse downstairs growing already – they seem to be happy. Hopefully they remain happy when they are transplanted. I’m just hoping I will still be able to bend over enough to plant everything else when the time comes. LOL

So there are some things I am looking forward to!
