Bear with me... this is going to be a long one. I didn't anticipate taking a semi-break from blogging recently but we have been busy. Traveling or on call every weekend and there just hasn't been enough hours in the day. So here's a looong catch up about what we've been up to lately!
++
First up, my very best friend asked me to be her matron of honor! And she asked Vivian to be her flower girl! Holy cow my heart just can't take it. Vivian's middle name [Kate] is after her so she is just so special to me and I can't wait to stand beside her next year, and watch Vivi make her way down the aisle, which I'm sure will be a hilarious scene.
Vivi had her first set of pigtails and I just about died over the cuteness.
We have been spending lots of time with my sister and her kids and they are like the three stooges. They love each other so much! And Vivi thinks she is the cat's meow hanging with the big kids.
We have made it a priority to go on at least one date night a month sans baby. And I'm happy to report that we went on two this past month! A few weeks ago I got home from work after a particularly long and stressful day and I just needed some time to relax and reconnect. We asked my MIL to stay a little later and we snuck out the door and enjoyed sushi and lots of good conversation. Then this past weekend we went out to dinner and had the best cocktails and appetizers. Date nights leave me feeling so recharged; they are absolutely crucial for our marriage and quality time is 100% my love language.
I get the most hilarious snapchats from my mom when she's keeping Vivi. This girl is busy and keeps us all on our toes.
Last week we got her this sandbox because we spend so much time outdoors and she has loved it! She doesn't understand the concept of not throwing or eating the sand but hey, we are getting there. We picked up a few bags of play sand from Lowes and these sand toys and she was like a kid on Christmas morning when we showed her.
We spent 5 days at the beach over the 4th of July and had the best time. My mom and my older sister and her kids were there the whole time and the daddies joined us Friday after work. We swam, played in the sand, went to the aquarium, got ice-cream, sat on the porch and watched sunsets [and sunrises].
The adults even got to sneak away for a yummy dinner Saturday night which was so fun. We went to Full Circle in Morehead and we all loved our meals and drinks.
So that's where I've been and what we have been up to. This weekend I am headed to the lake with my group of best friends [since preschool!] and I couldn't be more excited for a girls weekend. What are you up to this weekend?! Don't forget to link up with us below with your Thoughts for Thursday post!

ReplyDeleteThe doctors said Herpes virus do not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system.

But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body,But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without damaging any of your cells,natural herbs kills the virus totally not just reducing the out break.

DeleteI am DYING over how cute Vivian is - she is literally heart meltingly adorable, especially with pigtails and also in when she is 'hatching' from an eggshell haha! It does look like she is IN the shark tank in that photo though, trying to get OUT! Date nights are the best - especially ones with great cocktails and tapas / bar snacks like yours! Congratulations too on being chosen as a Matron of Honour!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys are able to get your date nights in and reconnect :) She's such a little ham and I love how curious about everything she is! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston

ReplyDeleteAwww! I thought you and Kate could be sisters!! How sweet that you and Vivi will both be in the wedding! That's perfect!! I love Vivi's little pigtails and her climbing in the kennel! Too cute!! Those beach views look so refreshing right now! That's where I want to be today!

ReplyDeleteIt all started when me and my Husband quarrelled for almost two and a half years juts because I was not able to give him a child , we were I'm dispute..
ReplyDeleteOne day I discussed with my friend and she was laughing at me just because the solution was at my door step, I failed to see it on time. She told me about a Fertility Doctor. DR ATEKHA, i thought it was a joke and I told my friend that it was not real. I gave it a try and I communicated with DR ATEKHA on ( DRATEKHA99@GMAIL.COM) and he told me that I will be able to get pregnant only if I believe and trust him, I trusted him and when the medicine arrived , I took it as he instructed and it took only 3 weeks , I slept with my husband again and behold I was pregnant and had a pair of Twins as my first children and now am pregnant with another one.
What else can I say than to say Thanks to DR ATEKHA, and my friend Tonia Megale for making me have the love of my life back and hearing the cry of children in my house again....

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
