Another day in Paradise

Well, it was just another day in paradise, well, as paradisical as Mesa, AZ. is in September that it. The HOA gardeners came and trimmed the plants and mowed, so the front yard looks phenominal. The backyard, well it's another story. Let's just say we have lots of birds, since we live close the the "nature path", and they like to perch along the sides of the side yard. I've gotta clean it up and plan some grass sometime soon so I can send my J.D. out who has cabin fever. Otherwise, he will do like he did today and just run all around to house, even into walls and moms. Haha, that was actually one of the highlights of my day.
So, Adam and I have decided to rearrange furniture this weekend, and then he is taking me out on an all expenses paid date...have I mentioned lately that I really love my husband and he could not have picked a better job. He loves the grocery retail business, although it has been rigorous getting into the upper management levels. However, he just attended the second quarter strategy meeting with about 200 other mangaers and came back home with a gift card for dinner for two at a very nice restaraunt, 2 movie tickets, and a hydrangea plant specifically given to him for me by the President of Fry's himself, John Flora, I have to add his name because he is so nice. I met him at Adam's graduation from the MD-I program to become an assisstant store manager, and I was of course very pregnant at the time, so he asked how Adam's wife and new baby were and sent him home with one of the plants, it was one of the centerpieces, mind you, but the President sent it home for me, so I felt really special yesterday.
What else, well work for me is still as wonderful as ever, I love my mom for starting this business so she could be at home with us kids, and even more for the fact that it is helping me be home with mine. It is rather surreal though to think of me being at the same stage my mom was at, and it brings us so much closer togther now, but also makes me feel like the age gap is much smaller sometimes then I realize.
Well, I guess that is all for now, just got my work done early and wanted to keep up the blog while I had a few minutes. Also, Adam's mother, Lorana was here for a long weekend at the end of August and she took some pictures of our family...thanks Lorana! So, I am going to try to add those, or at least try to make a new slide show, so stay tuned!
