NATE"S attempt at this blog thing...

That's right, Stac has handed the reins to me- the never trusted Huzzband!! Oh, so many places I could go with this. But instead of abusing my priveledges, I guess I'll make somewhat of an honest attempt at making an update here.
So we have had such a great weekend. Rod and Teresa made a quick trip to come see Zoee (and us too we think.) Can I just let everyone know right now, letting everyone know, that I seriously love it when they can be down here with us. Just a couple of the things I love most about them being down here: They love and spoil and play with Zoee SO MUCH! I can't think of anything better than seeing my daughter laughing as hard as she does when Grama and Grampa get to come play for a weekend! She has a wrestling partner, play mate, spoiler, and anything else she wants or needs when they get to visit. I love seeing her so happy. The other big thing I love so much about them visiting is that I think it makes Stac feel much less homesick when they come every once in a while. Not that she mopes around all day every day moaning and groaning about not being able to be back in Huntsville, but I suspect that there are days here and there that she just wants to be home- don't we all? I just have to say that I love it when I can see my girls so happy. That makes me happy. Oh yeah, I was sick most of the weekend and pretty much sucked the life out of the house by sleeping most of the day sunday and monday. Still not 100%, but working on getting there. In case anyone is wondering, being sick does suck.
Okay, so here's another thing that I am feeling a bit more than slightly obligated to publish and tell everyone about (since Stac is in bed and has no say in what I'm posting here) and somehow save face if at all possible. Some of you have heard this, others haven't. Either way, here it is. So VALENTINE"S DAY was this past week, right? This was the first valentine's day we've had as a married couple. I'm just gonna say it here- I didn't get Stac anything. Not flowers, not a card, not any jewelery, not chocolate, nothing cute, darling, OR prescious, nothing to wear, nothing to eat... Pretty much nothing. And that's all I got her. Probably not the wisest thing I've done in the almost 9 months we've been married now. (9 months, wow!) Now, instead of try to excuse my [in]actions here or justify this with the way I feel towards dumb holidays like this, I'm just going to let Stac know that I'm sorry and that even though I didn't do anything for her on the first valentine's day we're together as a husband and wife couple, I still love her. I love her so much. She is everything to me. She is who I want to be with for the rest of my life. And so on, and so on. I love you, Stac.
So now we'll see how long she lets this entry stay posted, huh?
