How to make a bad day good.

This last week has been a bit crazy and a lot of EXHAUSTING.

A week ago our fuel pump went out. And had to rely on others for transportation, plus deal with fixing a car-never fun.

Then Joe ended up having a last minute research trip to his fields all across the state this week (his spring break). And since his brother drove a car out to us and was here for a week, we decided to take advantage of the situation and have his brother dog/house sit for us while Sariah and I accompanied Joe.

And oh, I am SO glad we did.
Sariah and I got to hang out with Joe and chill out in a hotel for three days, swimming and watching tv (we miss cable).
We got back home Fri afternoon, exhausted. Driving 400 miles with a toddler is not easy. And then coming home, pregnant, to a visitor in your house- just somehow didn't help.
Plus, the next day we were leaving to drive another 220+ miles to visit family in Iowa. It was exhausting. And I wanted to cry.

But then Joe and his brother went to the store. And when he came back, he made this pregnant lady feel a LOT better :) (with the help of family).

-flowers. YELLOW flowers
-chocolate
-Easter package from family (and who can't help but love Sariahs new dress or things for her to play with?!?)
-The Hobbit

Day=made.

  2. Those birthday oreos look mighty fine!
    I agree about the traveling thing...I hate coming home to a dirty house, so I'd probably freak if there was a visitor. I commend you for traveling so much with Sariah. I look Emmy and wonder if I'll ever be brave enough to travel with her. :P
