Last few days....

We've had a good week around here. We went to the fair last Thursday and we had a good time. We saw a good Sea Lion show and we got to eat those Fajitas I love so much. James and I played some games and rode the Ferris Wheel and then ate some more and walked around a whole lot. Then Friday we had date night #2. We went to eat mariscos in Mexicali:) I'd been craving them for a few days so he indulged me. How sweet is he. We've been focusing on our relationship like uber much and I'm getting back into the groove of things and just enjoying each other. We visited my grandma that night as well and we had a nice visit. I slept all the way home....which makes me the worst copilot in the world. I ALWAYS fall asleep in the car, but in my defense it's because I get carsick like super easy and it's just better if I sleep cause then I don't get sick. We also had my mom and Al over for lunch on Saturday and we just visited here in our home and then mom and I went shopping. After James and I had dinner at Applebees and Sunday I went with my brother to say goodbye to people as he was leaving Tuesday morning. James and I had a great weekend and I am so grateful that we are rediscovering each other and liking it. Tuesday Mom and I took Al to Camp Pendleton and said goodbye. We picked up Aaron along the way. I miss my brother. He showed us where he worked and we bought cookies and we went shopping. He is so patient, I'd forgotten that about Aaron. We also saw Jessica but only for a minute as she was on her way to work. We got Aaron and Jessica some clothes and we got Aaron a skateboard as his old one was about to break. We had dinner with the missionaries and it was kind of sad as it was Elder Laws last dinner with us. We did a lot of chop bustin' well, mostly me but oh well. We had a good time. Off to bed. More Air Show crazyness tomorrow at work. I'll be so glad when this week is over!! Oh last note.... I got an award from Capt. Hubbard:) Because I'm AWESOME!! Huge accomplishment by the way.

Update

Ok. So I wrote the one blog and then gave up:( Chalk it up to my short attention span. After a huge rough patch James and I have been doing better than ever. We've refocused our attention on our relationship and it seems to be thriving which is a huge improvement seeing as to we were on the brink of extinction. James has quit drinking and is on a healthy kick and on the road to accomplish his goal of losing 30 lbs. He's made some major, major adjustments such as the no drinking, walking to work everyday, eating mostly tuna and chicken and we still go on our bike rides in the afternoons with the dogs. It's been very refreshing. He's also joined a football league so it seems as though he is super determined to get it done. Discipline, determination and will power he claims is all he needs. We've started looking at houses again. We went to some open houses and thus far have been disappointed. We have to realize that our backyard is a thing of the past. Nobody builds with yards like ours. A little saddening since we have two dogs who don't get a long half the time. I now have my miniature schnauzer with us and he really really likes all the room he has to run around. Either way....just updating here so I'll see ya guys later.
