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.

Thinking...

-About my finals tomorrow and Tuesday and how I just want them to be over and I will be so happy.

-About all the fun and productive things I'll do over my break, like scrapbook, exercise, spend time with hubs, and not reading nursing textbooks.

-This zit in my nostril is painful.

-That I want to snuggle with Noelle and that she is the cutest little girl I've ever seen and I want one just like her!

-How funny it is that going to school for the healthcare field can leave you soooo out of shape.

-I'm done with nursing school in 4 months and 2 weeks. Not that I'm counting.

-I want to go to Seattle on vacation. Never been, but I've heard it's beautiful.

-That I miss Aly and how much fun we have together. She hits the nine month mark on her mission next month. And her bday is Wednesday.

-How much I love, love, love my hubs, even if he does look kinda like a stalker in this picture, but a hot one.

-Why isn't there more occasion for dancing? Honestly!? Adults like to dance too! It shouldn't be just for high school! Yes,, this is the C-walk. I love to dance. Tanner and I do it almost everyday. If you want to dance, come on over.

-I want to have a baby. When we have one someday, that will be neat.

-I want to be more positive, like my mother-in-law. She is constantly giggling and happy.

-I miss my brothers and sisters, I haven't seen them in a while. They're super cool.

-I want to go fishing, I love to fish. And I love to eat them.

That's all.

The goings on..

Tanner grew a beard just to see if he could, it was a pretty nice beard. This is the day he shaved it. He asked if I thought he should keep the goatee. Don't you worry, he shaved it off.

This little cutie is Kelsen. Our good friends Mike and Bre moved in right next to us and I got to babysit this cute little guy for a few hours.

He smiles all the time!

This is my favorite baby girl, Noelle. Poor thing had to get a helmet yesterday, but she still looks as cute as ever!! When I got there she just talked like crazy, I'm pretty sure she was venting to me about what a rough day she'd had.

Poor Tanner was just sitting at the computer in this chair when it literally broke to pieces. I don't know why, but it was hilarious! One day I'll take the time to upload more pictures and blog better, but I'm afraid today is not that day.

More Dreamy Quotes....

There are too many to remember them all, but here are some as of late:

I said goodbye as I left for school and Tanner reached out of the bed and said "Look at this shell of a man." Pretty deep, eh?

As I said goodbye another morning, "I love you. Don't forget the antimatter dip."

"Don't forget to count all the slashes. Otherwise we won't know when to eat."

Last night he woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me, "it's weird, huh, this whole homeostasis thing."

Probably the funniest one ever. Lying in bed asleep, Tanner jumps out of bed yelling "They're everywhere!" "What's everywhere??!!" "The BUGS! The BUGS!" "What bugs??" "The bugs on the log. On the log that Lindsey gave us!!" (Lindsey is his older sister..) "Turn on the light Tanner." He turns it on. "See? No bugs." His eyes are still partially closed, but he rubs his hands over the bed repeating "ok, ok, ok. " "Ok Tanner, turn off the light and go back to sleep." He turns the light off and after he lies down "beep boop bee boo beeeeeeeeeep." And he's asleep. My husband is a cyborg.

Argh...

Don't you hate when you realize that the only pair of underwear you have left has a HUGE hole right in the back? Yeah, me too. Guess I'm off to do some laundry.
