Could I ask for a better hubby?? NAW!

Evan is almost done with his term. He is taking two classes and one of them is art. Even though he really didnt want to take the class, I think its a perfect way for him to work out all that perfectionist in him and a good way for him to pay attention to detail and of course learn art. One of the coolest projects I thought he did was to take a bar of soap and then to carve something out of it. I gave him many ideas before he left for class and when he came home he had come up with his own, A bed! How fun! What a great idea for sure! I personally would have a hard time completing this project because well I have a soap smelling issue. I love the smell of soap any kind. Laundry soap is the ultimate, I could sit there forever just smelling it. I know for sure that is probably one of the weirdest things, but what do I do..its just part of me. When I used to work at the grocery store I could not go down the soap aisle because I would just want to smell all of the soaps..haha..anyways..I think Evan did such a great job!! Look at all the detail on this bed, he even put flowers on the bedspread, pretty cute, mostly because they were easy to carve. I was really proud of him. And he is doing so great on all his drawings and quizzes too. Good job Hunny!


On Tuesday I went to the dentist to get two fillings done on the same tooth. I hate the dentist with a passion and ya they fix your smile and mouth so you can eat..ya ya blah blah..but I just dread hearing the little whistler tool they use and then the bumpy one that sounds like they are driving a race car in my mouth over my teeth, but too bad for me I have bad teeth (thank you daddy Matthew) even though I take good care of them, its genetic. Anyways for the past couple days since the dentist, my mouth has hurt 1. from holding my mouth open for so long and spreading it so wide 2. because of course its going to hurt they drilled my whole tooth out. So after work I have been just laying down for a "short nap" and I end up sleeping for 3 + hours. So yesterday because I slept so late I didnt get to do my run because it started getting dark outside and Ev doesnt like me running in the dark. So I decided to do my exercise on the amazing Wii Active instead, but I hadnt exactly gotten anything ready for dinner yet, I had just pulled out some chicken and was defrosting it. Evan had come home about the time I was starting to work out and he asked if I had anything planned, I told him what I had and what we could make, and he said, " just work out, Ill take care of it." And he did! Ev is always a helper when it comes to dinner or doing things around the house, but he just took over and let me have my exercise time because he knows how much I love it. Soo what was the result??? Well here it is:
Seasoned Shredded Chicken on Rice, with a hint of creamy brown gravy and white corn on the cob, garnished with romaine lettuce.
The dinner was fabulous but more than that I love my husband for being so wonderful!! I truly married my best friend and eternal companion!
