He Did It!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, it happened! T did it!! And now he denies ever having tasted it yet alone eating more than half the cake. I just don't get why he would blow his resolution on a $0.99 off brand cake mix with no frosting... obviously he is not the connoisseur  of sweets that he claims to be.

Back to lesson planning. Until next time. xoxo

Our First Time

It's been over a year and we are only now entering into the blogging sphere together... I guess this means our marriage is official. Realizing that our closest family members are 2,500 miles away, we thought it would be fun to post stories, musings, and pictures of us so that come Christmas time when we need a ride from the airport people will recognize us and not need signs. And by we in the previous sentence, I really meant I.

I can say after 2 full weeks of being home, we've both finally adjusted from our Christmas trip to Utah. It was painful for a few days realizing that no one was there to make my breakfast for me while I slept in and that I can't wake up a 9:00am every day or watch movies all day and shop online. It was sad leaving family but even sadder to hear Trent's new year's resolutions: NO SUGAR!!! What?! Who is this man that I married. He can't gain weight and he works out everyday like a maniac. I asked him why he was doing this and he explained he didn't want to be addicted to sugar. I wonder why this is hitting him now after being a sugar addict for the past 29 years. I begged and pleaded for him to change his mind but to no avail. He is 2 weeks strong. Last night I lied to him. I told him the mango juice was all natural and didn't have any sugar in it. He agreed to have a glass. (I thought if he would have sugar then he would stop this ridiculous goal). Then I got selfish and decided that I didn't want the mango juice, I wanted the raspberry juice. The moment I stepped into the pantry to get the other bottle, my plan backfired. He picked up the bottle and saw the number 2 ingredient was sugar! If only I wasn't so selfish and just went with the mango juice, Trent would be off this no-sugar kick. I'm kicking myself still.

In other non-eventful news T is full swing for BAR study. This basically means I see him only at meal times and when he crawls into bed after I've been asleep for at least an hour. This kid works hard. Harder than I do. I think the real question this brings to my mind is why can't things be handed to us on a silver platter. I'm not that picky, I'd take it on a pewter platter or even bronze. I just wish sometimes when we (and by we I really mean T as I think about all of his hard effort that went into the Mass BAR) work so hard, that someone would cut us a break and give it to us. I guess the real learning comes when we are faced with situations such as these. I hope he learns quick because this bar emptied our pockets...
