My Happy Place

Most of you know that Tyler works out of town. He works about 3+ hours from where we are currently living and so he commutes back & forth. His work schedule is 8 days on, 6 off. So during those 8 days, it's just me & my little man. Bittersweetness.

Wednesday night {the night he normally gets home}, we were all 3 snuggled in bed together, with our boy in the middle. I could hear them both starting to drift off to sleep, their breathes becoming really soft & shallow.

Drey was curled on his side with his little rump against my belly. My feet managed to find Tyler's legs & made themselves right at home.

 And then in that small moment I knew...

This is my happy place. Them.

I laid there & smiled {kinda like a creep} and thanked God for my life. How blessed I truly am, I don't think I'll ever be able to grasp. But they are my happy place and I'm so lucky to be able to say that.

Easter Eggs!

Last year we attempted to dye eggs with our little man and it turned into a big messy FAIL. Not to mention Drey giving zero interest about who, what, where, why... 

But it was a big hit this year! He was so proud of his eggs. And then he wanted to smash them all.

{pic captions are real comments from dreydan}

"can I drink this dad?"

{isn't he the sexiest man you've ever seen...for real doe?}

"okay guys, now we have to color this. everyone do it"

We can take it back out when it's all green?  

Yes but we have to wait.  

Oooooh. Don't touch mom, we have to wait. Then we can break them.

 "it's pink?! put that one in the blue dad. just put it in this blue cup"

 

"mom, dad... let's break these outside. let's throw them on the ground!"

{aren't they soooo pretty haha}

Happy EasterEggDying Day to us!

{note: lazyyy saturday. don't judge our appearance.. just don't}

Sometimes {just because}

Sometimes on a nice chilly-warm day, we go to the park until the chill reaches our bones.

This little man never complains....

 

Just because.

Confessions

My hubby gets home today! 

After another 8 looong days, I get to squeeze him in my arms, snuggle him on the couch, make him dinner, watch him play with our boy who misses him oh so much, and...other stuff. Ahem...

I confess...I have a major problem with chips. Like eating them ALL gone the same day I buy them. Not just any chips tho, the Kettle Cooked Mesquite BBQ chips. They are soooo yummy.

~

I confess...I don't match my socks. Ever. I match my hubby's and my 2yr old's socks, but when it comes to mine, it's every man for itself! And I'm totally fine with it.

~

I confess...Yesterday at the DMV, I wanted to find that lady who told me I didn't need my marriage certificate and punch her till she died. stop being melodramatic... okay I didn't want her to die. Just become unconscious or something.

~

I confess...When people tailgate me, it takes everything I have NOT to slam on my brakes. Nothing irritates me more than irresponsible and annoying drivers. Get your shit together people!

~

I confess...I may or may not have road rage issues.

~

I confess...When Ty is away, I have bad dreams about Dreydan dying in the worst ways. Just last night, I had a dream that we were at the park and Drey was playing on the metal bars. One of them broke off, he fell to the ground and the bar came down and smashed his head in. I wake up crying EVERY TIME and I get him from his bed and bring him in with me.

~

I confess...I will do unforgivable things to get something that I want bad enough. Or something I feel that I have deserved ever since mine was broken in a foreign country.... Don't. Ask.

~

I confess...I kinda Dear John-ed a missionary like 1 week after I met Tyler. Does it count if I actually never wrote him a letter telling him I met someone...oops. {he's over it btw}

~

I confess...I drink too much soda. I feel it in my bones. Hi, my name is Emily and I'm addicted to caffeine. 

~

I confess...My phone is always on silent. I miss A LOT of calls but for some reason I don't want it to ring/vibrate/bug me when I don't wanna be bugged. Mmmkay!!

~

I confess...I will always always always have a soft spot in my heart for the elderly, children, gingers, and soldiers.

~

I confess...I kinda like when Ty is away because then I can eat whatever I want. I don't have to cook big meals and can just eat my tuna melts every night.

Have something you wanna confess? You know you do....
