Day Three... it's a GREAT one!

Tuesday: Blog Goal Day Three
ACCOMPLISHED!
So today was a pretty exciting day, I slept in today until 10:30 ish which for me is big. It does help that I was up last last night watching The Office with Brandon... we are hooked. Tonight though I need a normal sleep, so I plan to be asleep before he gets home from work so we won't be tempted to watch the office until 1 am. But this is not why today was exciting, it was exciting because I had planned to go visit the babies today anyway, but then mom called me to tell me that Keah was going to get to hold both girls at the same time today, so I was PUMPED! Keah got to hold the girls for a long time today and it was so nice to just sit and watch her snuggle her girls, and then get to take tons of pictures, over 100 I know I have issues. It was hard not to reach out and touch the girlies, but I'm waiting until they are big and strong before I get to hold them. I just LOVED seeing them outside of their incubators. It was a GREAT day!! Since I can't post any baby pictures yet Laura said I could post two of her most recent pictures, so here we go...
For those who may not have known, Laura's first ring wasn't her real ring, it was holding the place for her real one to take it's place. This week on her visit to Washington the real one took it's place and it's a beauty! I'm dying to see it in real life and I plan to take it's picture and try it on... don't care if Laura doesn't want me to, I will!! Hehehe love you laura. Can I get everyone to look at this picture of the ring... super beautiful, but look at Laura's fingers- they are CREEPY in this picture. Her fingers are proportional in real life but in this picture her fingers look creepy and long, like legs, their almost like a plank on a pirate ship... isn't is insane! All honesty though it's a beauty Laura and I'm so excited and happy for you!
Isn't this a great shot, taken by themselves, Laura is pretty creative. I'm excited for them, and I hope all works out for Brandon and I to make it across the country for this wedding it's going to be a great day. Dad convinced Brandon that we need to get there somehow because Dad told Brandon that we could make a quick trip down to California to go to Disney and Brandon's mission and he was sold. Fingers Crossed!

The rest of my day was full of relaxation, I'm watching GLEE right now and loving it as always. I have another night of training at Chapters and I'm excited to go again. I love the atmosphere and I really think I'm going to like working there. They gave us a DVD to watch on their LOVE of Reading Fund and it brought tears to my eyes. It's crazy how many children are suffering due to lack of books in their own school, seriously if you want to check out something amazing and something worth while check out the Love of Reading Fund on that Chapters site

Here are some pictures from Kathy's birthday, I was able to hangout with her on her birthday because it was also One Tree Hill night, double score. I'm glad I got to celebrate with her, she is an awesome sister and I love her loads!
