week in review

last week was good. naps were rough in the beginning of the week bc i was attempting to stop swaddling kate. it's so hot and she wakes up so sweaty that i feel bad. but no. she doesn't really sleep if she isn't swaddled. so the swaddling will continue. on monday she started smiling a TON. it's weird how it changed all of the sudden. she smiles all day now. its the cutest thing. she laughed for the first time too and it basically rocked my world. on thursday night and sunday night she slept from 8- 7:30 with NO snack breaks! yeaayoooooo. it's only happened those 2 times but i'll take it!

friday night we got a babysitter and went on a date. bj took us to this hole in the wall mexican place where no one spoke english and we had no where to sit. it was DELISH though. places like that remind him of his mission so he loooves them. after dinner we had a nice conversation about how the owners/employees of that run down place were so happy and humble. they live in their own little world and are completely content not keeping up with the latest or being involved in a crazy work schedule. bj mentioned that part of him wished that when we moved to phx that we had of moved into a small duplex and lived more of a simple life for a little longer.

in my head: picturing us living more of a student-y lifestyle rather than the family type of lifestyle we live. living in a small, but cute, duplex. but on a safe street. being a bit more frugal than i am and just enjoying life.

his head: picturing his mission (small, ghetto towns in northern cali. ghetto meaning some houses had dirt floors. for real). us living in a small duplex. on any street. where english and shoes are optional.

i didn't realize our miscommunication until he said "ya we could have bbqs and invite them over".

me:"invite who over?? the people we just bought our food from?"
bj: "ya"
me: "we don't know them. they don't speak english. and i don't speak spanish.".
bj: "you could learn, it's really easy"

and he was completely serious. haha. hhmm. interesting theory, beejers. i love that he loves his mission so much though. and that's why we will be going to visit in september. not move a neighborhood that resembles it.

today was kates first day in the kids klub at the gym. i was really nervous but it went great. i was the first one there and she slept the whole time.

well this is one of those posts that i have been adding stuff to for a few days but is pretty boring. for my personal record. sorraayyyy.
