gavin and i went to see cirque du soleil: quidam on saturday night, and i had a lot of fun. i've never been to one of those shows before, so it was a cool experience and a fun date. we went out to dinner beforehand and saw the show, and then spent the night at gavin's parents' house since the show was in colorado springs. it was freeeezing cold ( Read more... )

of course finn did great at preschool today. i worried and stressed, afraid that he was crying the whole time and miserable. and i called at like 1030 just to hear if things were okay. he was sad for maybe 5 - 10 minutes, and then he was doing great. when i went and picked him up, his teacher told me most kids take some time to adjust and the ( Read more... )

well, i'm back to working out again, three times a week. i quit for a few months with everything going on, but i'm back into it now. gavin has been working out before work 3x a week for over a month now, so that finally motivated me to get back into ea sports. if we can both get into nice shape, we're going to FINALLY run a 5k together. we've ( Read more... )

i have wanted to do nice, tight french braids on myself for AGES, but i didn't know how. i finally watched some youtube vidoes on all different kinds of hairstyles and techniques - i was happily watching for an hour or two last night while gavin was putting finn to bed. this morning i was all eager to try and filled with determination, and here's ( Read more... )
