A Few Days In Spain...

Tuesday, February 24, 2008

A few weeks ago, Donnie went overseas and was lucky to be able to stop in Rota, Spain. They were there a few days and were able to take in a few sites. One of those stops was at the beach, of course. The trip was unnecessarily prolonged, a few days trip turned into a week and a half. Luckily, this little stop in Spain made it all worthwhile!

Would it make me sound jealous if I were to add, while Donnie was at the beach that day I was at the doctor's office with Skyler, who had progressed bronchitis and a sinus infection... AND was overwhelmed with writing three papers that week? Okay... forget about sounding jealous... I admit it, I am. But, who wouldn't be??

Driving???? ALREADY???

We were driving home from church today, and Donnie did the craziest thing... he pulled into a new subdivision just down the road from our house. I was a bit confused when he pulled over and asked me to get out of the passenger's seat and sit in the back, where Sky was sitting. Next thing I know... Sky is getting into the driver's seat of my car... and I could tell by his disposition it WASN'T the first time either!! Apparently, Dad has been giving him lessons over the last few days!! So, Sky begins driving down a road where construction hasn't begun yet. He does a perfect 3-point turnaround and proceeds back to our house. He pulls perfectly up the driveway and alongside Donnie's truck. It wasn't until after he put the car in park, I realized I'd been holding my breath!!! Phew!!!!! I'm not quite sure how I feel about this... it's REALLY hitting me hard that he turns 15 this summer... but this whole driving thing?? I'm DEFINITELY not ready for this yet!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I love Valentine's Day... any day where you step back and recognize the ones you love, is a day worth celebrating. Unfortunately, it can be ruined just a bit by the 2-hour wait at even the most casual restaurant. So, Donnie & I decided to go out on Friday night to avoid the crowds. We did the typical dinner and a movie... but we had a GREAT time!!

I felt really spoiled this year... my amazing sister-in-law sent a surprise box from Sephora, which was really fun to get!! Donnie showered me with roses, Godiva chocolates and a little something from Victoria's Secret (G rated =)... but I was just thankful he was home this year. I also received cards from the boys, and was especially touched to read this one with Kaleb's signature. Gosh, he's getting so big!!

Since Donnie & I went out Friday night, we spent Valentine's Day at home with the boys. After dinner, Donnie gave them the Wii that was supposed to be their Christmas present and we all played for a few hours. They thought it was the best Valentine's Day ever!!!

I hope you all had a Happy Valentine's weekend!!!! Xoxoxo
