Worst Week EVER

So this week has sucked ass in a major way! Let me give you the run down on why I hate life this week....

1. Hilary left..'nuff said.
2. It took me three hours to drive back from Denver in snow and rush-hour traffic.
3. Got a speeding ticket less than five miles from my house.
4. One of my dogs has diarhea, and it's too cold to leave her outside so I have had to clean up multiple messes. The other one is limping and I think she is depressed. And the third one never knows what the hell is going on.
5. I think my baby has colic.
6. My friend passed away from cancer.
7. There is a rumor that Aaron might get extended.

I am so ready for this week to be over, and I hope next week is way more positive!

There really aren't words....

I just don't understand why life is so unfair. I found out yesterday that a friend of mine passed away on Thanksgiving. She was 16 and developed cancer a little over a year ago. She had her whole life ahead of her, but it was stolen. She never experienced a prom, graduation, wedding, or being a mother....I don't even know if she ever experienced love or a first kiss. These are all the things most little girls day-dream about, but her time ran out before she was old enough to really live her life. She was such a sweet, wonderful, fun girl. I used to visit her when she was sick and we would go to a movie on a good day, or play Guitar Hero (she was so much better than me!). She had told me that her cancer was in remission, and that's the last I heard. I had no idea that it had come back and spread to most of her major organs. I hadn't been to visit her since Hannah's birth, and I truly regret that. She was so excited about me having a baby girl, and she never got to meet her. She was a wonderful person, and she will be missed. Rest in peace dear, sweet Lindsey.

I love this girl!

I just want everyone to know how much I love and adore my bff, Hilary! We've known each other since middle school and became really close while "working" at Wendy's...I really think we did more bull-shitting than working, but whatever. We lived together one summer while we were in college, we attended each others weddings (which were two days apart), and she has traveled many many miles to be with me and support me in Aaron's absence. She is just one of those friends that you only come across once in a lifetime. A true friend that is there through thick and thin, and can always make you smile. She has a song for every daily event and can cook like nobody's business (btw...I really want some of that apple pie!). She is truely caring, but won't hesitate to put someone in their place!

I chose to make her Hannah's Godmother because she is all of this to me and so much more. We have a million memories and inside jokes, and I hope we continue to make many more through the years. I can't wait to see what new adventures we encounter! She is my best friend, and I love her!

Boop Boop

We did it! We finished our first 5K! Some of it was up-hill, which totally sucked! But we both pushed through and finished together!

Christmastime

I am SO looking forward to putting up my Christmas tree! I am in the Christmas spirit in a big way...probably because it has already snowed a few times and snow reminds me of Christmas. This will be the first year that I haven't put up my tree with Aaron since we have lived together. That makes me sad. I miss him.

One of those days...

Let me start by saying that I got NO sleep last night! Hannah got a shot yesterday and it made her super cranky. She was up alllllll night! She finally went to sleep at about seven o'clock and allowed me to sleep til almost noon (thank God!).

Then I was making dinner and the oven caught on fire! Nothing big, but still....you know it's always something.

And someone needs to tell Curt Leonhardt that he needs some manners. I missed a call from this person, so I called the number back; just in case it was important. Whomever answered giggled, said something I couldn't understand, and then hung up on me! So, I called the number back and no one answered. Naturally, I left a nasty message on their voicemail and told them to quit being a bitch.

I hope nothing else strange happens to me today, and I hope that I get a reasonable amount of sleep tonight!

P.S. I haven't gotten many responses on my Bows post. I need advice on the naming of my bowtique so I can get it up and running! Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Getting close

The Turkey Trot is next Saturday....as in six days from today. I ran this afternoon and my Nike+ said I ran 3.02 miles. If you would've asked me if I could run that far a few months ago, I would've said no. I bought a jogging stroller so I can keep up with this running when Hil goes back and I no longer have a live-in babysitter.

We are also getting close to Aaron coming home....less than 90 days! Ahhhh! I can't believe it! And I have so much planned for the next few months that I know time will fly by (thankfully). He called yesterday morning and Han was awake so I let him hear her making her little squeaky baby noises. He told me that he had received the pictures of her that I sent, and I asked him if he thought she had changed much. When he answered he started crying. Oh my God it broke my heart! I have only heard that man cry three times. But it also makes me happy to know that he loves her so much. What a wonderful husband and daddy he is! I am so thankful that I have stuck by him during the bad times, as he has me. I couldn't imagine my life without him. This is exactly where I want to be.

Bows

One of my favorite things about having a little girl is being able to put bows on her! The bigger the better! So, I have been making bows to match her outfits, and I have decided to open an online boutique and make custom bows that people can order. Hilary and I brainstormed about what the name of my 'bowtique' should be and we came up with The Pink Banana Bowtique. Pink cause it's my favorite color and Banana because that is often what we call Hannah. So, I googled it to see if there is another business with that name. There is.....and it's an adult bookstore! But I think that the name is soooo cute and I still want to use it, even though it's a conflict of interest. So, should I use it anyway, or think of something else. Anyone have a suggestion?

Here are some of the bows that I have made:

Is anyone else having problems uploading pictures to their blog? If you know what the problem is or how to fix it, please let me know! I have pictures that I want to share!

He loves me, he loves me not....

He loves me!!!!! I recieved these beautiful flowers from the hubs yesterday

Awwww, isn't he sweet! But the best part was was the card, which reads, "Love you tons. I can't wait to come home to my two girls!! Love, Aaron." And it was for no reason at all, just because he loves me so much! How did I get so lucky?!
