1. A week and a half ago, August 6th to be exact, Graham's first tooth popped out of his once harmless lower gum. I had been checking it constantly for a couple of weeks anticipating the moment with excitement. However, as soon as I realized he got first tooth I was quickly overcome with sadness at the realization that Graham will not be a baby forever. I know this sounds weird, but I honestly hadn't thought about it before. Although I know I will love every stage of life he goes through, these past six months have been surreal and wonderful and I am trying to soak up every minute of it before it is too late.
2. Jesse and I went to the Metropolitan for an early anniversary celebration. I have heard Jesse talk about it before and when I saw half-price gift certificates on Utah Real Deals, the bargain lover in me just couldn't resist. Jesse and I love to eat out, but that night we realized we aren't the type of folks that can really appreciate "a gift from the chef" (especially when it is a grape covered in goat cheese), being called madam and good sir, or wagyu beef that is supposedly so delicious you should eat it raw. I am going to stick with my faves--Pizza Factory and the Cowboy Grub.
3. Last week I ran the first long run that actually gave me some pause beforehand. The 16 miles were tough, but I realized that I can do it. I also realized that even though I might be very hungry afterwards, corndogs are not the answer.
4. Today I posted a desk and some other office furniture on KSL.com. They were sold within three hours. I realized that there are few things that can make you feel as good as getting money for something you almost took to D.I.

Love it. This is a great post. Makes me feel like I'm sitting right next to you. These are the simple joys of life. I'm so glad you're not a fancy "Madam" eat your meat raw kinda gal, who knows if you'd put up with my Mickey D loving ways if you were. Keep writing and capturing every moment of your little man. He is beautiful and they do grow up way too fast.
ReplyDeleteI have three items floating on Craigslist.com as we speak. People don't jump at used goods down here like they do in Utah.
ReplyDeleteI have just begun blogging again and loved updating on your blog. Are you running a full marathon?!? Why are you running sixteen miles? Also, are you guys still planning a move? How is all that going?
