Two Cent Sparrow

~ I've been processing and journaling so much during my quiet times lately that I don't feel as though I have much left for the blog. Sorry for my slacking lately

~ We had such a great weekend last week: wine with friends, a celebratory dinner in Ojai for a buddy's new job, family bike rides to farmer's market and to church, date night, and my first book club meeting

~ We read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Super fun little book.

~ Our friend from college, Matt, just moved to V-town and lives a few blocks away. He volunteered to watch Landon for us on Sunday night. L's always been okay when left with the babysitter but this was the first time he actually pushed us out the door. "Bye Mommy. Bye Daddy. BYE!". I think he likes Uncle Matt.

~ Little dude is finally saying "Wuv You" all on his own without any cajoling. Last night RJ got a "Wuv You Wats Daddy." M-E-L-T-S my heart.

~ I sent off our I600A to Immigration and it arrived Monday. Please pray that it is processed quickly!!!

~ I also booked my ticket to Denver for the last weekend in April. I am so excited to go visit my dear friend Kelly. We already have such a great weekend planned and it's still two months away: reuniting with another college girlfriend, happy hour(s), watching the Royal Wedding while eating scones, and a run in Wash. park. Waaaahooooo!

~ Speaking of running I've been faithfully following my half marathon training plan for nearly two weeks. I haven't felt this good in years. My energy is up and my body is aching in that good sore way

~ If only my neighbor wasn't a girl scout - then I could really say I'm on the way to health and fitness. It's cookie season. RJ devoured an entire box of Thin Mints by himself in two days. Someone posed this question on Facebook the other day and I think it's worth sharing:

Thin Mint cookies: best girl scout cookies OR best cookies?
