Normally I wake up to Glenn screaming, because of a bad dream or him being scared… Last night I work up to the sound of Glenn laughing histarically. Then he says “that’s so funny” then laughs some more and then snoring again. It was so cute and funny. I sure would like to know what he was dreaming about, and what was so funny about it.

I have been pretty busy lately… And on top of everything, my best friends mom died on Saturday. We have been friends since the 3rd grade, so I knew her mom pretty well also. She was 42 years old, she died from cancer. So on Saturday I have to go to a funeral.

And then this morning I got a phone call from my daycare provider telling me that there wasn’t going to be any daycare today because they were transporting her husband to the hospital. And that she thought he was having a heart attack. So since I didn’t have anyone to watch Glenn I took the day off work to spend with him.

Today I was thinking this December the 12th to be exact, I’m going to be married for 5 years! wow… I’m finding it a little bit hard to believe. Forest and I have never really had to work at our marriage, it has always come easy for us. Until about 14 1/2 months ago that it, when our world got turned upside down when we lost our 7 month old baby, Kaleb. At one point I almost left him… But today we are getting back into the grove of things and are marriage is becoming smooth and easy as it was before. I don’t feel like he takes me for granite and he doesn’t feel that either. He tells me often that he appreciates everything that I do and that he thinks that I’m the prettiest girl in the world (I think the last one isn’t all that true as I think I’m average looking, but it’s nice to know that he thinks I am anyways), And when he tells me it he actually makes me feel like it’s true! Just one look or kiss and he can make me go weak in the knees or give me butterflies. It’s neat to think that after being married to him for this long he can still do that to me. And he is always telling me how lucky he is to have me, when I think I’m the lucky one!

Our son Glenn is a really good kid, (for the most part, lol) I think he’s my dream child. He slept through the night since he was 3 weeks old, potty-trained at 18 months, and listens pretty good most of the time.

I’m ending with one more picture of Forest and Glenn playing on the slide together. I really can’t believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband and son!!!

Last night was horrible! We had a big storm and Glenn is absolutely terrified of thunder. So every couple of minutes when we had some thunder he would start screaming bloody murder. It was a very long night. I was in his room every couple of minutes. At one point I brought him in our bed with us so I could try and get some sleep. But then he wanted to talk and giggle and annoyed Forest. So back to his room he went… If it wasn’t the thunder it was some other noise. One of the times he was screaming he told me that he heard a sound that went mooo. (it’s funny to think of that one now…) I told him it was just one of the cows in the pasture. We have beef cattle. At one point Forest came in and gave Glenn his toy gun and told him that if he heard a noise that scared him that he should shoot it. That worked for a little bit since he slept for almost 3 hours after that.

By the time Forest got up I had gotten 3 hours of sleep. And was so not looking forward going to work on 3 hours of sleep. I layed in bed for a couple of minutes after Forest got up and I must have fell back asleep because next thing Forest comes in and is jumping on the bed like a little kid. It was kind of funny. He tells me that it’s time to go to work… I look at the clock and I have 5 minutes to get up, dressed, eat, and leave for work. Forest didn’t go to the woods because of the rain and so he watched Glenn and let me sleep. I thought it was so sweet of him.
