Random post

I haven’t written a lot lately, and not for lack of topics. I mean I am potty training – that could be several posts on it’s own. Although I’m not sure if older Ella would appreciate the gory details shared on the world wide web. So, anyway I’ll just share some random bullet points.

1. I just ordered two books from Amazon and I can’t wait to have something to read: My Booky Wook by Russel Brand, and Operating Instructions by Anne Lamott. (I read the later one years ago and LOVED it. I would still say she is my favorite author, but I haven’t read one of her books for years. Should be fun.) The other one is one of those juicy autobiographies we love in the Trashy Book Club. And this man is also a very funny comedian. Should be a good read.

2. We payed off our car not too long ago. This means BOTH of our vehicles are PAYED OFF! Awesome. I’m quite proud of us. Now we need to just really fight the urge of considering new cars for a few years, so we can tackle my student loan. But not bad considering we payed off my hubby’s big student loan, all our credit cards and both cars … I think this is a good accomplishment.

3. Steve and I have a datenight this weekend. I’m ready. We haven’t had one in a while … I hope to try out new resaurant in town – Baker’s Street.

4. I let Ella pick out something at ToysRUs today for doing so great with the potty. She picked out a stamp set and bought a few animals for a collection of hers. She’s doing such a good job!

5. We’re going on a little trip next month to Nashville and staying at the Opryland Hotel. I’m really excited. The hotel looks awesome. Steve will have to work a little bit while we’re there – hence the trip, but we’ll still have plenty of time. I’m excited to stay somewhere really nice, eat awesome food that I don’t have to cook or clean up after and do some fun touristy stuff. Not to mention there is a ton to do right at the hotel, and lots of stuff for kids. Here are some pics.

Yeah, that’s the hotel. Quaint isn’t it?
