Growing Up

Johnny and I had a great talk last night; we hashed some things out and made some promises. There's nothing quite as satisfying as a good, long, serious talk with your best friend. Nothing makes you grow and mature quite as much as a solid commitment. My marriage just gets happier with each passing day. I'm so in love and so blessed.

My boys are growing at an alarming rate! Zachary has sprung up at least an inch this month. The little weasel can reach onto table tops now, and, subsequently, reach whatever is on said table tops. Gabriel is almost kind of starting to fill out his newborn sleepers. He's still swimming in them, but he can poke his hands out now, and stretch his feet into the legs without getting lost. He fills out his preemie sleeper and has advanced to newborn size diapers.

Those two are so different. Zachary is the mischievious one. He has a twinkle in his eye that lets you know he's up to something big and he's always off on an adventure. Zach would be the happiest kid in the world if he could be outside all the time.
Although it's a little early to say for sure, Gabriel seems to be the quiet one. He is very serious and thoughtful. His little face tells you he's working through something big. He seems to be such a gentle little soul.

Excitement is brewing on the job front, but that's all I'll say for now. :)

My brain is still pretty fried from pregnancy. It's amazing how scattered one becomes; I blame the hormones. I have to keep a daily "to do" list just to make sure I complete necessary tasks, like ironing Johnny's shirts or taking out the trash. Honestly, I even have to write down who I owe phone calls.

Heather's dream story from a couple nights ago was one of the best I've heard in a while. Still chuckling over that one. Now there's another best friend who's talks mean everything to me. A phone call from Heather is always a highlight of the day. I wish I had more time to talk to her!

And I know I just said "another best friend." There's a big difference between husband-best-friend and girl-best-friend. They are both my best friend and I'm sticking to that! :)

I need to start another blog for political rants. This socialistic mess is getting out of hand.
