Great News!

I just got off the phone with my grandma (my Nana) and she is so generously paying for us to stay in a hotel in Lubbock for my cousin's wedding coming up in March! I am so excited. Without her help, I really don't think we could have afforded to go & now I get to see so much family that I haven't seen in so long! Many of whom haven't met Avery before so it will be a lot of fun! Hunter is so excited that he gets to stay in a hotel- I don't blame him. It brings me back to the childhood days of our little vacations. We didn't care where we went as long as we got a "cool" hotel room :)

Avery has been really fussy since last week (well since she was born :) but even fussier recently) So I took her to the doctor & found out she has a sore throat & tiny ear infection :( poor baby! Hopefully she can get to feeling better soon, especially by March 5th! It doesn't slow her down at all. She's successfully beaten up Hunter, Roxy & myself in the last few days. I'm telling' ya, this girl can hold her own! Boys beware. Forever ;)

Here is my weather update: pathetic! The forecast said there would be 6-10 inches of snow.... MY BOOTY!! We got MAYBE 2inches & a little ice underneath... AKA pathetic! (That is what I'm used to having lived in Texas all my life) I was "ready" for another winter storm but this... ugh! And Hunter's school still managed to be closed 2 days!! Really?! Well, we have enjoyed our time together. Avery really loves when Hunter is home all day so she can play with him & his toys. Although we didn't get the promised snowfall we did get the promised temperatures. This morning it was 3 degrees and once I saw that, I didn't even look at the windchill. I didn't want to know. I was just thankful that I left my faucets dripping last night. This afternoon it has "heated up" to 30 so most of the snow/ice mixture is melted away. Looks like school tomorrow. Perfect timing for Friday!

I don't think Cody & I are much for celebrating Valentine's Day... we might see a movie the next weekend but other than that, we usually just exchange cards. Which brings me to my next rant. Cards... WHY ARE THEY SO EXPENSIVE? Last time I checked ONE Valentine's card should NOT cost me $6! Are you kidding me???!!! Sorry, honey, but your card isn't one of those. I found a suitable, much less expensive one that will work just fine. I already told Cody that he better not spend $6 on a card or I'll be forced to steal his wallet & not allow him to ever make another purchase. Ever.

On a better note, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend & good Valentine's Day but remember everyday should be like Valentine's day. You should always tell your significant other how much you care about them :)
