sunday update



today our church was canceled. last night a friend called and asked "is it bad to be happy we don't have church tomorrow?" i laughed and said, "well..."


our stake president canceled church yesterday because of all the snow. however we woke up this morning to a bright, sunny sky. i think we got about a foot of snow total, but it's been melting all day. ryan was out clearing the driveway this morning...see above.


friday night we had our first babysitting swap night. we've never been interested in doing a swap, but finally decided we'd give it a try. i'm not sure if we are crazier to forgo the swap and pay for a babysitter, or to give in and join a swap. we will take a turn one friday night a month to watch all 10 children for 3 hours. that doesn't sound too bad, right? right?


well for our date, we went to a new place. it's called black & blue. it's a steak and crab restaurant. it was a little fancier than we had originally anticipated, but it was delicious! ryan ordered oysters because i hadn't had them before. let's just say, he won't be ordering anymore for me anytime soon. they weren't the worst thing i've ever eaten, but far from the best. the rest of the meal, including the lobster fonduta was fantastico!


last night we made our way to target in a blizzard to pick up a few very important items for the girls. flip-flops.


we are going to the waterpark in a week and a half. the girls have already packed their suitcases, including scissors and markers?, and have them sitting by the front door. they are beyond excited.


i am excited because for the first time ever, i have found a bathing suit that didn't make me nauseated when i looked in the mirror.

this is a picture of it, but that's not me. my legs are much longer.
