LaFonda Sagebrush

Woo hoo! It's Spring Break and I'm just giddy about it! No, I'm no in an exotic location soaking up rays....or hittin' the slopes in a quaint Colorado village. I'm just sitting in my kitchen, happy-happy that my kiddos are home and that I have no school-related responsibilities! I've got a mega-long list of honey-do's (in this case, I'm the honey since K-man's work responsibilities do continue as usual).

Our date Saturday night was fabulous! We went to a Thai restaurant....it was OK, but after a high-dollar dinner like that I always regret not going to my favorite Mexican joint to fill up on chips, salsa and a gigantic burrito, ya know?

Then we went to look at paint colors for our bedroom. I can't think of anything more romantic than being at H*me Depot with my man! I'm serious. Oh and the evening was made extra special because we went to L*wes too. Back off girls, he's all mine.

But as wonderful as it is being in a mega-hardware store with my main squeeze, picking out paint is painful for me....I like so much, and I hate so much. But I've got it narrowed down to a couple of great shades, one being, "LaFonda Sagebrush".....isn't that hilarious! One of my all-time favorite movies is Napoleon Dynamite so I am having a hard time resisting this color, just for the name alone. I'll let you know what I decide.

Ok, I gotta go get busy & pick up where I left off on Saturday painting our woodwork. Today I will only have one little helper (Lucy), unlike when I had K-man laying on the bed watching TV AND watching me paint. He even made a comment about how sexy I looked painting. Flattery will get you nowhere big guy (ok, well maybe it will).

25 Years of Dating My BFF

This morning as I was writing the date on a check I realized that today marks 25 years since my very first date with my sweet husband!! I was the ripe old age of 15 and we had just returned from our ski trip in Colorado where I met my future husband. He wasted no time and asked me out....my first date ever. I was so nervous!!! I wore a red sweater w/ striped turtle neck, probably Jordache or Chic jeans & penny loafers. Kel had on Lee jeans, a striped button down shirt and had enough Polo cologne on that I smelled him pull up in the drive way (not really!), but oh, he smelled so good!!! AAAHHH. What a sweet, sweet time that was! We went to a movie then to Tippin's for pie. AAAHHH.

Twenty five years later, I'm ready to stab myself in the hand with a fork. No, my marriage is great...it's this endless basketball season. The amount of time and money it takes to be on the go constantly is making me crazy!!! This weekend is Nick's tournament 3 hours away. We will stay all night (ugh, I hate to spend the money). Then next week/weekend is B's state tournament, which is local. THEN IT IS OVER!!!! And I WANT A DATE WITH MY BFF and HUSBAND (they are one and the same in case you were wondering)...ALL ALONE!!

Nothing from immigration yesterday. Oh well, today is a new day & I'll hit the mail box pretty hard later in hopes of SOMETHING!! Plus I'm waiting on our birth certificates and criminal checks.

Are these dance moves I see?? Of course they are.

Lucy insisted I take a picture of her face squished up like this...so I insist on putting it on my blog!

Lucy, always wanting to be in control, nearly took over the clock duties K was doing (he was tempted to let her!)
