Snow
Ugh, I look outside and once again there is this white crap all over my yard. It doesn't look like it's going to be much of anything but it reminds me that lurking outside my climate controlled 73 degree utopia is coldness. Chilly to the bone, nasty windy, make your cheeks burn and turn red coldness.
I am so out!
Once again I wonder how I got stuck in this town that isn't a balmy 80 degrees in January. Right now I could be making decisions such as, "should i bike to work or roller skate?", "What brand of sunscreen should I buy this month?", "when does the shoe store open up I've worn out my Teva's". But alas I get to warm up cars and put on heavy coats and listen to my toddler say BRRRRRrrrrrr.
Well I hoped by looking up pictures of palm trees I could deceive myself into thinking it was warm and sunny outside but I failed miserably. I really need to buy some curtains for these windows.
It's sad that my son's limited baby vocabulary already includes the word " Snow".
It's sad that I left town during 2 months of our summertime.
It's sad that I missed my family and friends so much during that time that I'll probably never be able to move 20 hours away to the land of eternal sunshine and happiness.
Honestly I don't even mind hurricanes.

I know Kungfu.....
(For the record: Not a pic of Jessi)Last night was a pinnacle in the life of our newest baby. While Jessi was trying to get to sleep little baby K started kicking away inside her womb. How cool is that!

Today (Monday) at 5pm
We have an appointment scheduled today at 5pm to find out the sex of our baby. We are literally going on the first day they will even do a sonogram to see so cross your fingers.
I had a dream yesterday afternoon that showed Jessi in bed with Ryan on the right and a little girl who looked a lot like my sister with blondish brown hair on her left (I was looking down on them). Sooo we shall see hehe
I'll update this as soon as we know!

The day has come
We've done it. We've admitted defeat. We fought the battle long and hard and just as it looked like we might pull through as victors we were crushed.
Our young adult lives are over forever. No more sporty Cougars, Mustangs, or Eclipses will grace our driveway. We are now Mini-Van owners.
I don't know if it was the reclining rear seats, the DVD player, or the tri-zone automatic temperature control and heated seats that did it. It could have been the 18 cup holders or the fold-down console between the driver and passenger seats that fits a large purse perfectly. It might have been the 5 star crash rating and side curtain airbags or even the remote controlled sliding doors and trunk. All at a touch of a button. Right there beckoning to be bought and driven and parked in the garage.
"Why us?" Jessi said on the way home. "I never expected that I'd own a mini-van some day. And I definitely never thought I'd be happy about it."
"What's that?" I said, too busy playing with the in-dash GPS navigation system to notice.
