I guess Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend

Or at least the person who buys them for her is.

Our Anniversary was awesome this year!
It was so nice to really plan and anticipate it.  
Jeff's parents watched the kids for us which was so nice.
We dropped them off right about nap time and took off.  We were originally just going to go out to dinner but Jeff's folks said we should go to a movie before so we did.  
We saw Sherlock Holmes 2, it was good and so fun to actually go out to a movie.  
We came home and got all dolled up for our fancy-shmancy dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House.  Don't worry folks we had a gift card.  It was so much fun and amazingly delicious.  I'm kinda like a man in the sense that the way to my heart is a big, fat, juicy steak and this steak was amazing!  Melted in my mouth.  I would go there all the time if it wasn't so expensive.


After dinner we hurried back to get the kids.  I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty eager to see them.  I even asked Jeff how he did this every day.  I mean, I was only away from the kids for half the day let alone the crazy hours he works and I was dying!  I have no idea how working mom's do it either, I feel so blessed to rarely have to say goodbye to them.  Anyway, they were excited to see us.  We took them home, played for a little and then they went to bed.  

And the moment you have all been waiting for, my beautiful new rocks!


The picture does not do it justice!  15 little princess cuts.  
It is so pretty and sparkly , I can't stop looking at it. 

The gift exchange was fun.  The only other time I remember actually exchanging gifts was the night before we got married, so it was fun to actually do this year.  My gift was rather lame especially in comparison to his but I wasn't expecting him to get this for me.   Since it was our 5th anniversary and we have 5 senses I did an "I love you will all of my senses" theme.  I got the idea from here at The Dating Divas (one of my favorite blogs btw). I got him a gift or two relating to each sense, attached a little love note to each one explaining why I love him for each sense.  A little cheesy but a lot of fun and memorable.  I think Jeff liked it, cheese aside.

Then he went all romantic on me (which happens about once every 5 years, lol) and busted out the ring.  I totally wasn't expecting it mainly since we were poor, but mostly because I wasn't sure Jeff even remembered I wanted a wedding/anniversary band.  But he got all ancy when he went to buy it so I knew it was something out of the ordinary and suspected but still didn't know.  Anyway, it was and he did such a good job!  When I went back to get it sized I browsed a little and I like the one he picked more then any others I saw so Good Job Jeff!

We were also supposed to do a little love time capsule (Another idea from Dating Divas found here).  I have all the stuff but we haven't done it yet.  Guess we better do that soon!

Anyway, it was a wonderful Anniversary!  Still is crazy for me to believe that we have been married for 5 years!   Seems like a blink of an eye but at the same time feels like it has always been this way.  I feel so luck to be married to such an amazing guy (p.s. Doesn't he look so handsome in this picture!).  He really is so good to me!  Much better then I ever deserve but I'll save all the mushy stuff for another post.

Happy 5 Years Hubs!  
I can hardly wait to see what the next 5 years will bring.
I love you!!

What to pack . . .

So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
