The motor story

Remember this? Well, Trophy Hub had a good weekend. He got his (expletive) boat motor for the (expletive) boat. I hate to admit it, but I think it was worth it since this is the result...How happy to they look???

And I have been told all weekend what a good wife I am.

Barking at the moon

If you haven't seen the movie "Bolt" (it doesn't matter how old you are) you must see it! Both boys love it. Bubba has proclaimed that he loves the "gril" from the movie, Penny, and he's going to marry her. I found a video on You Tube with a movie clip & song and I caught him singing. Too cute!!! He was embarrassed, but he kept singing!

We made it!

We officially made it through Trophy Hub's first semester back at school. It's not that I had doubts; I believe that we could do anything together, but there were some haters that tried to drag us down in the beginning.

"Wow, that's really going to suck." Wow, thanks for your support.

"I hope you guys know what you're getting into." Nope, no idea.

"He's probably going to find a cute little college girl to study with." Ok, that was said as a joke.

Trophy Hub has his last final of the semester this morning. I am so proud of him. It took a lot of courage and determination to take on college classes in addition to his full-time job, his family and his City duties. Especially without slacking in any area. He is a wonderful person and I'm so glad he's mine.

You just had to be there.

Conversations with a 2 year old always make me laugh. He is extremely articulate, but he can mix up his words from time to time. Case in point, last night...

Me: "Bubba you smell good." (he was freshly bathed)

Bubba: "Yeah, I'm skinny."

I laughed so hard.

Get with the times people!

I learned last week that the church we have been attending since March doesn't believe women should be in leadership roles. This has come from many, many sources and not just something that I interpreted wrong. Now you all know that I'm really quiet and not very outspoken...snort...ahem...but this does not sit well with me.

I love my husband silly, but we are partners. I love like my coworkers, but we are a team. I am a born leader and I will not subject myself or my children to an environment that teaches that women are lesser than men.

*stepping off my soap box*

So the quest for a church continues. I am disappointed, but not discouraged.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

For those of you who didn't know, our hard drive crashed in our laptop. So we have been without a computer for 9 days, 12 hours and 47 minutes. Ok I'm not exactly sure how long it's been, but it seems like forever! Trophy Hub and I have realized (along with Peanut) how completely and utterly addicted to the Internet we are. I felt like I was missing an appendage. Anyway, all is well now.

So, I know you're all wondering what have we been up to for these last 9 days! Even if you're not wondering I'll hit a few highlights.

I have committed to running my first 5k this summer and have recruited a few friends to run with me. I have lost 29 pounds and people are starting to notice the change in my body. I absolutely feel the difference, but I have to admit that I see the same person when I look in the mirror. Could this be some sort of self hatred? That sounds so sad, because I don't hate myself, but I'm sure how else to say it.

We had a great Mother's Day and we were lucky enough to see both my mom and Trophy Hub's that weekend. We got our vegetable garden planted and some of our flowers in pots and window boxes.

I have lots of Internet catching up to do so I'm going to wrap up this post. The boys have said a million funny things this week, so I'll blog about them as I remember them. Thanks to all of you for your harassing caring emails wondering where my posts have been. :-)

How to get people out of your way

Take your snotty, coughing 2 year old into a crowded public place. Enjoy people rushing their carts in the opposite direction while giving you a dirty look. Ah, good times.
