Melting Pot :)

Tony and I decided to celebrate our anniversary a day early, since we both had the day off and a babysitter! :) All week we were just gonna ride the max, it would be easier, until we found out it takes 72 minutes!! So we map quested directions and wow, we had ourselves an adventure! We got confused ended up back across the bridge and eventually found our way back across and right into the Melting Pot parking garage! We met aunt Heather and she took Aden for us and they had a good time. We walked downtown for a bit before dinner. It was delicious we had fondue and I had steak, chicken and Tony had the seafood (Yucky). And he was impressed that he got to cook dinner still!! They were great to us and told us happy anniversary, our host and server!! We loved the cheese fondue with the apples! That was my favorite! Unfortunately we didn't have dessert, we were too stuffed. Although I told Tony we have to go back just for dessert. And have someone go with us. It was a nice evening with the love of my life! We even got to come home and relax before Aden got here.

On the other hand Chewy had his annual physical today, and he lost some weight, but no to much to be worried about. And he also has a blocked tear duct which we can fix with eye drops over the counter. Thank goodness, the vet told us if we did the dye and all that, that it would cost us an arm and a leg, so were better off doing over the counter eye drops. Whew!

blessed....

Lately I've been stressed and emotional since I've been working alot of night shifts, and by night I mean I don't get off till 10 pm or later, tomorrow it's midnight!! It's just hard having someone else watch Aden and put him to bed and kiss him goodnight. :( I know it's worth it, so I can work and help provide but it's tough. We signed up for this job, no one else did. And I know the family doesn't mind watching him, but it just tugs at my heart, all night. When my manager gets back from vacation I'm going to talk to her and see what we can do to adjust my schedule back to days, where it should of been, since I've been with the company for 8 years!! Anyways enough complaining. Aden's been picking up words like crazy... he will now say sponge bob, no no and buzz although it sounds like uz he is starting to talk alot more!! I'm so blessed to have the cutest little boy and the most amazing husband!! We've been together 8 years and in 2 weeks we will be married for 4 years!! It goes so fast!! I'm defiantly blessed! :)

things go on...

It's been a tough week. I had an emotional melt down at work and they sent me home. So I came home and cried for about 2 hours, before I went and picked Aden up. I'm not sure what brought on the melt down, but everything flooded my head at once, and it overloaded and I couldn't take it anymore. I've been stressed lately because I've been working nights, so I didn't get to see Aden or Tony alot the last 2 weeks. And that was tough! Today is my grandma's birthday, RIP Grandma!! :( I wish she was hear, I would love to hear her voice again, and have another homemade pickle or some jam! She was always canning and it was always the best. :) She was simply delightful. This last week, I helped my sister out, with my cousin's kids, while she was in Illinois, spending last moments with Kode, and preparing stuff for the funeral. I give her made props, she had to do the hardest thing ever, and decided when to pull him off life support. :( Kode will truly be missed. :( RIP Kode!! And we both have a full week, this week as we have the Allen family reunion this weekend. Next weekend we have my parents company picnic and a wedding.
