It's the little things...

Now that Trokon is working from 6pm until 2 am we never get to see each other. This bums me out, it makes me miss the cuddling at night, having supper as a family, talking about our day, and watching a movie. I know him having a job is very important for the family, so I can't complain. But, it sure makes me enjoy the time he comes home in the middle of the night. These have become my favorite moments. I look forward to 3:30 am when he crawls into bed and wraps his arms around me. He then with enthusiasm to be home, and me half asleep barely awake, asks me about my day and his day and what Tony and I had for supper (usually he finds this out, because I always leave him a plate in the microwave). I treasure the days he has off and I soak in the moments we have together. Today I'm driving during my lunch break, just to say hi and get my bear hug.

"Oh Car"

Dear Blog,

Not much going on here. Planning on our trip up to North Dakota this Friday, Oct. 30th for Trokon and I to have our premarital session with the pastor at the church and also to celebrate Halloween with grandma!
Trokon came home really sick last night, fever, chills, stuffed up nose. Pretty sure he caught my bug. I hope he starts feeling better. Working two jobs and going to school may be to much for him, although, he would disagree with me. Hopefully this cold will pass so we can enjoy the weekend.
Tony has a few new things that I've noticed him doing lately. He loves cars, actually so much that now every morning when we head to my car to leave for school, he has to hug the car his response "oh Car!!" and hugs it. Crazy I know, but it's his current love and it's kinda cute! I just hope when it gets really cold outside his face doesn't stick to the car kinda like if you lick a iced pole. (side note: maybe I should carry my camera for that Kodak moment!!)
Tony has a couple new sayings a well. In the mornings since Trokon is working over nights Tony and I tend to get ready in the bathroom together. I have heard him say a few times now "Here this is yours" or "that's gross!" I love when these new phrases come out of him, they tend to always make me laugh, and he thinks that's pretty cool!

Love,
Lori

Safe Place to Call Home

What seriously became of these 4am fire drills? Anthony and I sat on the stairs in the main lobby of our apartment this early morning talking about fire men. He thought it was pretty cool that for one he was up, and two that real police officers and fire men were talking to him. I told him to take notes since he will "become" a fire man for Halloween. He said "yup, mommy I will" I repeated myself about 15 times saying "you know your going back to bed when this is all done" his reply "nooooo no bed no" Mommy replied "there are no choices in this discussion, you will go back to bed you have school soon". After about a good 20 Min's of a wonderful early morning learning experience I put Tony back in his bed. I too crawled back, loving my bed more than ever, and having the gratitude that I would get at least 2 more hours of sleep. I heard a few times "MOMMY!!" come from the other room, with a quick reply back to him "GO TO SLEEP!!" not another peep was made.
I can't be upset for the fire drill...if it was an actual drill..none the less it still took place. I am grateful for the men and women who come and reassure the minds of parents and individuals that our home is still a safe place.

Can you hear that...

Well today was another uneventful day. I can honestly say staying in the house this whole weekend was completely wonderful. It was a nice refresher. My friends and family might think i'm crazy because Tony and I just spent a week locked up in the house being sick. There is something different when people are laughing, cooking and enjoying each others company. I made home made stroganoff and bars...my motherly instinct once again appears!
Winter is slowly approaching us. Sitting out on the balcony tonight isn't quite as comforting as maybe three weeks ago would have been. I must say the painters did a wonderful job painting. Unfortunately we won't get to enjoy it much come next summer. Trokon and my hopes are to be in a town home or home in May 2010.
Green leaves still hanging onto the trees that surround the neighborhood. The smaller trees in the parking lot have changed to the rich golden color. You don't hear people making there conversation outside, or kids running around. Everything is silent. Everything is peaceful. Everyone and everything is beginning another climb into winter and another new joy when spring once again endures us with warmth.

Good night.
