Today is Valentine's Day, and Ron is working :( but he will be back in the afternoon. I flipped out a little last night because Ron and I have not had a solid day together in about 3 weeks or so. I don't do well on very little Ron time. So I'm going to soak it up tonight and tomorrow. We missed each other while I was in Boston, though I had a wonderful time there!
I really like Boston. I loved the quaint New England architecture, Paffy the tourguide, taking long unhurried walks, and soaking up all the fun historical things (although, Will, I still have yet to sit on an ancient stone elephant). Mostly, I loved seeing family. I loved meeting Claire. She's so beautiful and interactive. Since I had just seen pictures and few of her more quiet moments when we were skyping, it was exciting when she was right in front of me, giggling or smiling that big smile of hers. It was also a lot of fun to carry her around Boston while Mom took pictures of her. Look, heres Claire at Paul Revere's House. Look, here's Claire on the Freedom Trail. Look, here's Claire with Benjamin Franklin. We had a fun time with that and Mom and I were both reminded of the little lawn ornament that was stolen, followed by pictures in the mail of this same lawn ornament all over the world. Don't worry, Claire, you are way cuter than a lawn ornament :) And carting around a baby all afternoon made me think... I should get one sometime soon... This is not an announcement.
Today Ron and I are going to take down our Christmas tree. I know. Sometimes we wonder if we have too many redneck instances, but I refuse to actually use that word to describe us. We are slow people sometimes. Taking our time, content with life almost to a fault. I need to get better at just getting things DONE. Next on the list of organizing our lives is to set up a nice filing system for all our papers. We just became adults, and we already have so much to file! (actually, I must be in denial, we've been adults a little bit now) But I love when we actually are organized, so I'm looking forward to finishing that project. Right now it's like this:
Ron: Honey, where is all the stuff for our taxes?
Jo: Oh, I made sure to put all of those envelopes on the piano so we know where they are.
nice. Well, I'm off to get some cleaning done and work out and maybe get the grocery shopping in before Ron comes home. Tonight we're going to the Olive Garden to celebrate our love. I just thank God for blessing me with a wonderful husband that loves me and protects me and will care for me for the rest of my days. He is a treasure to my heart.
