Well, let's see, 5 years ago today...
I got off of work at 600 PM and went to Tim's house. We had plans to go to Vicksburg, MS and gamble and have a nice dinner, but he was still hurting, so pizza and a couple movies at his place instead! And to my surprise, Tim went to the mall (in pain) while I was working that day and bought me all kinds of wonderful stuff from Bath and Body Works, and the sweetest card. It was so sweet!
Now fast forward to today...now I am the one recovering from being sick. So its a replay but without the pizza, I don't think I could keep it down, Tim didn't go to the mall, and we have a loud 3 year old running around...maybe its not really a replay... Ha!
Have a Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

Our 1st Date on Friday the 13th
So, let's go back to February 13, 2004. It was Friday the 13th! I was working the 2-930 shift at Dillard's, and Tim said he would take me to eat on my break. So he picked me up at work and we went to eat at Applebee's (it was close to my work). Things were great! And we decided that when I got off from work, I would go to his house and change clothes so we could go out to a bar and meet up with Uncle Mike, Aunt Sonya, and Shelly.
Well, plans changed. I called him on my way to his house and he said that he was sick and may even go to the ER...are you kidding me? He's pulling this lame excuse already and going as far as the ER? Well, I thought maybe he had another girl coming over, so I was going to test him. I asked to come to his house anyways so that I could at least change. I was thinking I could catch him in a lie. But he really was moving funny. He didn't want to tell me what was wrong because he was embarrassed, but I finally got it out of him. He had a huge bump right where the band of boxers would rub. It looked painful. So being the thoughtful person that I am, I went to the ER with him instead of going to the bar. Awwww! How sweet, I know! LOL!
Anyways, so our first date was sitting in the ER, playing black jack for pennies. He ended up getting the infected hair lanced and packed with gauze! OUCH! He really wasn't kidding. Then after endless hours there, we had to drive all the way to West Monroe to the 24 hour pharmacy to get his meds filled. By this point, it was around 1230 AM! WE finally got back to his place around 130 AM and I couldn't leave him in pain. So we watched Varsity Blues and Van Wilder! (This is where it all began with our obsession with Varsity Blues). After our movies, it was soooo late! I still had to drive all the way to Bastrop! I got to Shelly's around 6 AM (I think), and slept for about an hour, then I had to get up, and get ready for work! I had to work from 930-6!! OMG! What a long day!?!? What the hell was thinking!? It was love, I guess.

Where Does The Time Go?
If you had asked me 5 years ago where I thought I would be today...I don't think I would have said, "Married with a 3 year old, living in a house in Knoxville, TN, but not before moving to California for almost 2 years."
Yep, 5 years ago today (Feb. 12, 2004), I was working at Dillard's at the Estee Lauder counter...minding my own business...when up walked this really cute guy, with his friend, Chuck. (*Thankfully, I was dressed cute and my make-up was fully done. You see when I had to open, I would come rushing in with no make-up and do it after I was there. And It was 1030 when they came in. Talk about perfect timing!) Tim was coming back from an unemployment hearing in West Monroe (gotta love being a GM in Rayville) when he and Chuck stopped by the mall so Tim could buy a gift card for his sister's birthday. (Thanks Wendy!) He stopped and asked me where to go to buy one and I jumped (without looking too eager) at the opportunity to sell him one, hoping I would get to talk to him and feel him out. And I was hoping to see his name on the computer if he used a credit card...Yep, I am sneaky. I am a blond, though, I had his card in my hand and never looked at it, I waited to see his name print out on the receipt. DUH!?! I could feel my face getting red when I realized this was the guy my brother and ex-sister-in-law tried hooking me up with at Christmas Time! I mean, who could forget a name like Wroblewski? NO WAY!!! Oh man, my face was glowing. So after a few minutes, he gave his business card with his cell and home number on the back. Ha!! He told me to call after I got off of work. It was such a great day at work after that.
Anyways, I called after work while I was driving to my night class, but he didn't answer...surprise, surprise, whatever!! LET THE GAMES BEGIN! (And because of my awesome cousins, Misty and Shelly, I had gotten damn good at playing the game!) So about 2 minutes after my class was over, (no I was not calling him again, Rule #157: Don't blow up a persons phone!) my phone was ringing...we talked for 4 1/2 hours! What could we possibly talk about for that long, you ask? I have no idea!! Nothing, something, anything and everything!
So this is where it all began!
I will tell you tomorrow about our first date on February 2004, Friday the 13th!
**But before I let you go...this is what was being said between Tim and Chuck when I was at the register...(I found this out months later when Chuck told me)...
Tim: "Chuck, I think that's her. Her brother told me she worked at Dillard's in the cosmetics department. I think that's her."
Chuck: "Dude, that can't be her. You are not that damn lucky! She is way hot and way out of your league!"
Thanks Chuck! That is my favorite part of the story. And I think Tim's favorite part was how red my face was! LOL!!

Kainaan's Birthday Dinner
So to finish off Kainaan's birthday celebrations, we all went to eat at the Japanese place. Its Kainaan's favorite place to go...and ours too! Anyways, after we ate our food, they came to the table with a cupcake and candle and sang Happy Birthday and beat on a drum...then they sang what I assume is a Japanese version of Happy birthday. They made us dance and clap, and Kainaan loved it! Then we all went back to our house. Kainaan was beyond his limit at that point and was so mean...needless to say, he went to bed quickly!
Enjoy the pictures!
Cousin Amy and Meme
Cousin Austin and Aunt Wendy
Kainaan loving on his oldest cousin, Austin!

And Now, The Rest of the Story...
OK- so here are the rest of the pictures from Kainaan's birthday party. There are so many, it would be crazy to put them all on here one by one. So I have put them on Shutterfly. All you have to do is click on the link below or copy and paste into the browser bar. http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0IauG7Fu3ZsWb2
But anyways, the party was a hit! Everyone had a blast! Kainaan got some great gifts and had so much fun playing with everyone. We had a great turnout...14 kids and 21 adults!
Thank you everyone for making his 3rd birthday a great day!
Before I go, I have to tell you this funny part of the party...
Kainaan's friend, Eli, loves trains and Thomas just as much as Kainaan. Well, Kainaan got the Thomas toy off of his cake and was playing with it. Eli was sitting next to Kainaan and wanted the toy, too. Eli took the toy and Kainaan started crying, then Kainaan took it back and Eli started crying. It was just so cute. You will see this play out in a few of the pictures. Just look at the pictures from the party room after they are eating the pizza. It was funny...I guess you just had to be there, but the pictures are cute!
Anyways, these are just the pictures from the party. I will post pictures from the Japanese restaurant later. Yep, we went to eat there that night after the party. Its Kainaan's favorite place and this time he was the one they were singing to. He loved it!
Enjoy the pics!

It's Snowtime!
OK-It snowed all day yesterday and its still here today. Its a little hard and frozen, but we had to play in it anyways! And as I am typing this, we are getting MORE snow right now!
Enjoy the pics!
Enjoy the pics!
Yep, its still here. It hasn't melted!
But see the dark clouds...more is on its way!
I couldn't find a ruler so I used my pointer finger...about 2 1/2 inches.
Chewy's little tracks. The deep ones are from him falling through. Poor baby.
Treading through..."I have got to find Dipsy's poop so I can pee on it!"
Dipsy was not a big fan of the snow.
He tried so hard to walk around the snow.
He finally stepped in it! And he actually chased me and Kainaan in it!
OK-so I learned that I don't have the skills of making a snowman, but I tried and before I could get a picture, Kainaan kicked the head off! He thought it was sooo funny!
Kainaan had to demolish my pitiful excuse of a snowman.
And there goes the snowman's body!
I told him not play on the neighbor's swing. He was laying across the swing on his belly and did a face plant in the snow! His feeling were so hurt. And his zipper hurt his chin.
Just getting a better shot of the snow on his face that he just ate!
OK-all better, let's run some more! I think this where he was laughing at me b/c I almost fell on the driveway covered in ice! He said, "Mommy's funny!"
Instead of "kick rocks" we "kick snow."
Our neighbor's lion statue, he thinks is a dog. He was loving on it!
My footprint on the left and Kainaan's on the right.
