While the kids and I love the new playgroup for speech therapy, I kind of miss having the therapists come to the house weekly- because it forced me to make the living room presentable. Now we have no incentive to keep it clean.

I’m so excited about BlogHer ’12 (Did I mention I’m going?) because Jenn and I are rooming together and we have been having the best time making plans.

But if you’re going to be at BlogHer, let me know! I’d love to meet you!

And if you’ve already been, tell us what we should see and do, what are the events that we just can’t miss!

The other night, Aaron and I went out alone. This is big- it happens only once or twice a year. We’d already eaten dinner, so we went and got coffee and dessert at Olive Garden, and just sat and talked for awhile. But the weird part- when the server went to bring us our bill, he asked if we needed on check or two. I thought that was odd, since we’re an old married couple. I could see if I was with a girlfriend out for a ladies night or something, but for us? It seemed silly.

The next day, since we were still alone, we decided to hit up an adult movie. I headed over to the ticket line and Aaron went to grab popcorn and drinks from the concession stand. I finally get to the window, and just about everything was sold out. I was so surprised, it was early Sunday afternoon- and they were selling tickets for the 7pm and later showings! We couldn’t be gone that long, so we left with our snacks and no movie.

How often do you have child-free dates?

Dylan has been calling Ryan ‘Guy-guy’. It’s so cute. We call him Ry-guy sometimes as a nickname, but when Dylan does it, it’s way more adorable. He’ll want to show Ryan something and he’ll say ‘WATCH Guy-guy! WATCH!’

Yesterday I had an appointment at the Naval Hospital. I needed a medication refill and apparently they like to see you once in awhile and don’t just fill them randomly. I thought I was running late, but then realized I got there way early. Then the doctor took forever to see me. I don’t mind waiting for her though- I like her and she’s the type that totally listens. Plus she’s a chubby short lady, which is way more comfortable than when the military sticks me with some buff Marine. I’ve seen her a couple times now, so I’m pretty sure she’ll get deployed, stationed elsewhere, or some other thing will happen so I’ll never see her again.

After my appointment, I proceeded to drop my new phone on the pavement in the parking lot. The back shattered. It still works, but it sucks. I ran into the PX and bought a case to hold the back together right after- I probably should have bought it sooner.

The boys had playgroup today with the speech therapy ladies. They really have such a good time, I think they will really like preschool. I worry that they’ll be as rough and tumble with other kids as they are with each other, but so far they have been great. They did run into each other today, and Ryan got a bloody nose. It was pretty bad, but he’s tough. They really are talking a ton more since starting speech!
