Dang It!

So my conference call ended at 11:55am. I scoooped up my purse and my car keys, ready to head out for lunch. Call me crazy, but I keep seeing commercials for KFC (crazy I know) and I've had a craving for 3 days now for one of their little snacker sandwiches and some mashed potatoes & gravy. Yum! It's a beautiful day outside-sunny, not too hot. I get out to the car, put the key in the ignition, turn it...and....NOTHING. Yes, that's right. I left the lights on this morning!!! Grrrr. My car was dead. Normally, I drive the Mazda which has a dinging noise if I forget to turn off the lights (very rarely do I utilize this function, as it's a habit to just turn them off). But today I'm driving the Honda which has no such noise. Oops. Not the end of the world...Ed is going to come down here to PPD at the end of the day and jump it. So I ordered a sandwich for delivery and I'm spending my lunch hour surfing the internet and blogging. Lovely.

The only sad thing? No KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. (Imagine the sound on a game show when you lose). Wah wah waaaahhhhh.

Super Quick Update

1. Edwin is still sick. Not throwing up, but the lovely “#2”s. Germs, go away!!

2. Ed has his 2nd interview with Harris Teeter tomorrow at 2pm. Keep praying! He’ll find out if he gets a management position or not

3. I bought a new memory foam pillow today and I cannot WAIT to try it out tonight. For the past week my neck and shoulders have been killing me every morning.

Yucky

My baby is sick :(

Edwin woke up around 2am after throwing up. He got sick a couple more times this morning and has been laying around all day. This child usually has a ton of energy, so I know he's feeling pretty bad. Ed made a little bed for him on the couch...this was the scene a little earlier when he took a nap. He's asleep again right now as I'm typing this (I'm home from work, obviously). Hopefully he'll be feeling better by tomorrow. Poor guy :(

Dang it!

So I had started a post last week about our Myrtle Beach trip, but saved it as a draft until I had a chance to upload pictures. Unfortunately, blogger keeps them in the order they're originally started. So click HERE for that post. Geez.

Anthony

Tonight, we all went to Anthony's t-ball game over at Hugh McRae park. Those kids are so cute!! After the game, we went to dinner at La Costa. Mmmm....Mexican food :) When we sat down, I asked Anthony what his favorite part of tonight's game was. His answer: "When I was on the pinching mountain." I'll go ahead and translate for you...I'm pretty sure he meant pitching mound. Funny stuff!! After dinner was over, Anthony and Edwin were being super cute together. Grandma was holding Edwin, and Anthony was standing on the chair next to them. The boys kept hugging each other--Edwin was actually reaching for Anthony. It was so cute that I decided I needed to take a video of it. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough. Edwin had had enough! But you can at least get a good laugh from it. Anthony kept trying to get me to take a regular picture of him.

Darling Husband

Check this out! When Ed and I got home tonight, these were sitting on our kitchen counter. Now some of you may be thinking "what's the big deal?" But it is a VERY big deal to me. Ed is not the flower-giving-type of guy. And I'm perfectly ok with that. Heck, I know how much they cost! Haha. That just makes these roses all the more special on our anniversary. Thanks darling husband!! Oh yeah, how could I forget to mention the greatest part? He CLEANED MY BATHROOM!!!

731 Days

That's how long Ed and I have been married. Two years tomorrow!!! April 23, 2006...what a great day. The weather was amazing (80 degrees and sunny), a lot of family and friends were there, and we were so in love. Yes, we're still "so in love", but I'd venture to say it's changed a lot in those seven hundred and thirty-one days. Definitely in a good way (for me at least...I'll let Ed do his own post! haha). Nobody can prepare you for what marriage really means- compromise, sacrifice, forgiveness, fun, laughter, stress, learning...I could go on and on. Add a sweet baby Edwin to the mix, and life gets even crazier!! But it's all been completely worth it. Not only have I learned more about my husband (did you know he can juggle??), but I've learned more about myself and my role as a wife. Even when Ed drives me crazy, I thank God every day for bringing him into my life. I can only pray that we are allowed at least 50 more years together. I love you honey!

Interview Update

Okay folks, here’s the quickie update on Harris Teeter. Ed spoke with “Fred” (name has been changed…see earlier post!) this afternoon. Dear Fred was out on vacation all last week, and that’s why he didn’t call on the 14th as originally promised. Oh well. So Fred finally talked to his boss (let’s call him Jack) today. “Jack” wants Ed to come in for another interview and they’ll discuss getting him started in the program. That would be the management program with Harris Teeter. The position he’s looking at is Fresh Foods Department Manager…we’re not sure if that’s assistant mgr, or just plain old manager. Either way, we’d be thrilled! Fred just needs to confirm a date/time with Jack, and then he’ll call Ed to set it up. I don’t know about you people, but this sounds very promising to me!! So keep up those prayers…they are very much appreciated.
