warning: sister-in-law... i have sex with your brother and document the fact here. just the fact, not details- don't freak out. read if you please.

oh dear blog, its been so long.

two exciting suprises this week... the hubs came home for lunch not one, but two times in his -gasp- uniform. i confess, i really married him for the uniform. i don't know if you understand, but he doesn't come home for lunch and i never see his uniform. not even to take it to the dry cleaners (but that's another story).

for the past few weeks i have felt confidence in praying that hubs would have this unquenchable thirst and longing for closeness with me even more than ever. and God sent him home for lunch, and then he got to sleep before 5 am and we got to sleep together. and we did it... you know- it, more than never so that was good. great. awesome. and whenever we do it we have jokes for days. i always feel like we have this little inside joke or secret we get to giggle about to eachother from across the room.

the uniform, and also, hubs in it.

hubs. daddy. joshua has also uncovered a whole new relationship with tate. they now have a weekly "daddy and tate day"- no girls allowed (which i am TOTALLY fine with) where they go do some activity just the two of them. it has seemed to just work this incredible morphing miracle on their relationship. josh seems to have miles more patience and encouragement for tate, and tate has these sparkly eyes when he looks at daddy. they have stories to tell mom and addy all about when they get home and souveniers too! this week was their third date and they went to the 51's game with matching mohawks and came home with the worst hot dog breath in the history of hot dog breath. the week before they went to the park and then to papa's house to be men and work on the boat. tate is still talking about the noise the boat made. the week before that was their first date and they went to the shark reef in the mandalay bay- tate came home with a shark t-shirt that he is so proud to wear. so proud. i wish i had pictures to share but they dont take pictures- they are men. or whatever.


in other amazing news my new car is the bees knees to go grocery shopping in.


AND in three weeks we are taking our first... by ourselves... planned by us... funded by us... family VACATION! we will be enjoying sea world as a family, and joining us will be my oldest friend, ashlee bonafede (if she isn't "home" i dont know what is). i cannot wait to see my kids gasp at all of the animals, and touching starfish, and petting dolphins, and getting splashed by shamu (or whatever his name is these days), and eating ice cream while watching shamu.

oh camera, why are you broken?
