things i couldn't have done today if i had a baby...

trying to stay on the positive side....

-take a two hour nap while hiba took a two and half hour nap
-bagels and coffee with jamie
-stir-fry for dinner
-play settlers of catan with friends (or online...)
-slept in

but, since i got to do all that great stuff today, i'm still ok with having a baby tomorrow.

wishes...

sometimes i wish i was white-trash.

because if i was, i could walk around in public wearing cut-off shorts and a sports bra or bathing suit top or cut off shirt and not care. it would be much more comfortable in this heat.

however, i like to believe i'm not white-trash, so i'll continue to wear jeans and shirts that fit even though its 3000 degrees outside.

farewell to the motherland

we leave on friday. by this point, i am actually really ready to go home. it's been a great visit, but two month is a long time to live out of a suitcase and travel continuously with a baby. we've hit wal-mart and are all stocked up on food, clothes, and other random stuff which should last us until june. our bags are packed (well, almost) and all we have to do is play a few more games of settlers and get to the airport.

so here are some highlights from the last two months:
-breakfasts made for us by my dad
-breakfasts made for us by the kind folks at Cathy's Corner
-Christmas with the fams
-seeing hiba with her grandparents, aunts and uncles
-visiting tons of family members
-our first visit to real europe (istanbul doesn't count, right?)
-ice storm 2009 (ok, maybe not a highlight...)
-mexican food and laughing with christa
-a weekend in indy
-having lots of people to love hiba and play with her so that i could take naps or just have a break.
-catching up with old friends
-shufflebowl with the brocks
-sleeping in past 10 a.m. on multiple occasions
-more food than i could have imagined eating
-football watching and hot-tubbing with the lawsons
-watching lost
-a night away with jason in san antonio and going to my first nba game
-shopping at walmart, target and old navy
-hugs from people that we love

all in all, a great trip. and we'll be back here soon. in the meantime, we'll try to keep the blog updated a bit more with all of our really cool stories about our awesome lives.
