So my days are pretty routine and I love it that way. It's not boring or averse to spontaneity, it's just so simple to give my days a structure that I can build around and count on everyday so that when something comes up I'm set-up and prepared because I know what my days are like. I don't even know if that makes sense, haha. Basically, I'm not boring, haha. I just like how I have things planned everyday with my boy to look forward to everyday.
I.E. Charisse and I are best buds. Since, get this, since 2002. Maybe 2003? Anyway, a long time. In high school during the summers we would run around the lake that is only half a mile from my house. Back then it wasn't "developed" much and to run completely around the lake (about 3 miles) we had to take overgrown dirt trails. It was SO MUCH FUN. Well, heavens to Betsy here we are 7 years later with husbands and baby boys. The lake caught up and now has a beautiful double-wide sidewalk all around for our jogging strollers to fit comfortably. Three times a week Charisse and I hit the lake - just like old times :)
And have swim play-dates twice a week. PJ is turning into quite the fish, haha.
PJ has also started crawling and pulling himself to stand on his own for about three weeks now. I am so relieved! He would get frustrated when he wanted to play with something a foot away and couldn't get to it. I'm having to say "no" more than before as he's getting into things now but it's totally worth it to see him exploring and playing. AND its fun to see him crawl as fast as he can towards you. Makes my mommy heart melt when he comes from across the room to pull himself up onto my lap :)

The summer here is perfect. Hot and breezy during the day and mid- 70's at night. My sister and I go for a walk around the neighborhood when she gets off work around 6 and just relax. I am always, always, always grateful to be here in Nebraska. I've learned from living in Idaho and Texas that we're going to miss something about everywhere we've been: the mountains and hiking in Idaho, the family and food in Texas, and the friends we left behind in both. And the grass always is going to be greener on the other side. But for now I am pretty happy with our side. I've decided I'm a Nebraska prairie kind-a girl and I love the scenery here. I would have no problem settling down in a farm town just outside the city with corn and wheat fields as far as the eye can see :) Now how Pablo feels about the farm town idea, haha, well we'll just have to come up with something that makes us both comfortable, haha. But he loves Nebraska too and that just means the world to me. It would be hard to be completely happy if my best friend wasn't.
So until things change we are here for a good 5 years or so- thanks to school and Pablo's work. Couldn't be a happier family right now :)
