Funny Tanner

That man is always making me laugh. For some reason when he gets frustrated with me, he calls me by what he considers my full name: Christina Nina Jayne Embreus O'Driscoll Fullmer. Embreus is my maiden name, but O'Driscoll is his mom's maiden name. I told him that's gross because if that were really part of my name we'd be related, but he still does it. Whenever he says it I can't help but laugh.

Tanner started reading his books for school a week early, so a few nights ago, Tanner was dreaming about nodes (don't ask me what they are) and a fire suit that could create them. He woke up and thought it was such a brilliant idea he got up in the middle of the night and drew a diagram and wrote it down. In the morning he described it all to me and showed me the picture. I asked him if that really works or makes any sense and he said "No idea." I'm still impressed.

Also, one night, I wake up because Tanner is mumbling in his sleep. I open my eyes and see Tanner is facing me with eyes closed, but his hand is lifted about a foot over my head. I ask what he's doing and he replies, "I'd slap you both, but I don't want everyone to hear the pain." So, fearfully, I waited for the aforementioned slap. Thankfully, Tanner won over his dark side and simply put his hand down and was asleep. When I told him about it in the morning, we both couldn't stop laughing.

The Lighthouse on Honfleur

I don't know what that lighthouse is, but it auto-typed it in for me as I was writing something else, and I thought random, but obviously it is meant to be the title of this post. I don't want to mess with fate here. I have been on break for three glorious weeks and have been a terrible blogger. I go back to school Thursday, ahhh the joy and the pain, but last semester, woo hoo! Tanner goes back tomorrow, sad. We didn't get to go anywhere cool, but it has been awesome! We've played tennis, and went to a wedding that had dancing, I know I mention dancing a LOT, but I really like it, in case you can't tell. I really cut a rug I must say. Also, danced with Tanner and had a dance party with my little sisters, shweet! Got together with friends we haven't seen in a while, spent some quality time with hubs, life just doesn't get much better.

Have you ever noticed just how much there is to be grateful for in life? We all have our struggles, but if you really look for it, most of life is filled with the sunny good stuff, aka blessings. It's been good to reflect on how blessed I am and we are together and I just felt the wonderful feeling that life is good and if we just do what we need to things will work out. So here's to the start of a wonderful new semester and finishing nursing school feeling good! Also, our apartment is the cleanest it's been, probably, ever. Not a single moldy dish. Not one. Life is good.

Last, but not least, I googled this lighthouse of destiny-there you have it.

Little Breaky Break

Sorry, we haven't been taking any pictures, but Tanner had his last final Thursday and we are officially on break together!! Two glorious weeks lie ahead, and we couldn't be more thrilled. The cuddles, the dancing, and playing tennis, all pretty fan-freakin-tastic. Spending time with your spouse is wonderful, I tell you what.
