5 on Friday

1. Ellie kicked off birthday month with a party last Saturday night.  She came home with lots of energy and full of sugar--- she loved it.   Nick, Neve and I had a dinner date.  I think Neve enjoyed the two-on-one  attention she received.

2. I had LASIK surgery on Tuesday.   And now I can see without the assistance of glasses or contacts!   I love it!  I still have to wear shields over my eyes when I sleep, but only for a few more days.  All I can say is amazing and I wish I would have done it long ago.

3. Nick is on a biking trip near Branson.  He left Thursday morning and will be back Sunday.  

4. We were under a blizzard warning Thursday afternoon during the commute home.  It took 1 hour to make it just over 4 miles home.  See #3 and remember that Nick is our primary driver--- especially during snowy times.   Although there was no blizzard, it took 1 1/2 hours to get to work due to slick roads and cars getting stuck going up a hill.  It made me miss Nick and being able to sit in the passenger seat during times like this.

5. I am in charge of the inside of the house.  Nick is in charge of the outside.  This means I do not shovel the snow or mow the lawn.   Prior to marrying Nick, I lived in a townhome which meant I didn't have to shovel snow.  I do not remember the last time I shoveled snow. 
Remember how Nick is gone and it snowed?   That meant I got to shovel.  Living with a three-car garage and corner lot is not fun when you have to shovel.  Thank goodness for a kind neighbor who helped out (or did most of it).  Although, in my defense- I could have done it all by myself, it just would have taken a lot longer.  Thanks James!
