Five for Fridays

Okay... so it's been awhile...  So it's not gonna be five for Friday today....  It's just gonna be some of the key things between now and the last time I posted.

1.  Me and Brady signed up for a relay half marathon in San Diego.  I will run 8 miles and he will run 5 miles.  We are going to do this with our good friends Wendy and Ernie (who will also do the relay) and Jim, who will run the normal 13.1

2.  Christina came out for her Spring Break to spend time with her nephew and sister.

3.  Michigan State made it to the Sweet 16 in basketball (they were in the West Region), so they played in Phoenix, so me, Christina, and Breslin got in the car and drove the six or so hours to Arizona! 

4.  We stayed with my friend Kenzie and John (whom we also went to the game with).  Unfortunately Michigan State lost, but it's always nice to watch my Spartans play no matter the outcome.

5.  Breslin and me flew out to Florida to visit Christina, mom, and Aunt Joyce (pictures to come).

6.  I flew alone with Breslin for the first time....  a little difficult, props to moms who travel alone with more than one.  However, there are so many nice people out there who were willing to help me with my bags, or getting on the airplane okay, or getting through security (workers and co airplane passengers alike).

7.  Breslin flew the red eye for the first time.  Although it didn't go horrific, I don't think we will be doing another red eye anytime soon (even if he sleeps the entire flight, he only gets in about 4 - 5 hours and his normal sleep is about 10-11 hours).  It totally messed up his schedule.

8.  We are going to need to re-sleep train him.  Hopefully it won't be too bad.

9.  Breslin is a water lover!  He had so much fun in the pools in Florida.

10.  While in Florida I got to meet up with my Athletic Academic Advisor from MSU.  He now works for UCF.  He kept saying, I remember giving you advice back in college, and all of the many mini dramas you came in with... now you're a mom... (I know, Kimya, I think about that every day!)

11.  Breslin took his first steps while in Florida...  A little uneasy, but took them none the less.  I was so proud!

12.  I again, after spending a good amount of time with my family, realize how much I miss them, and how much I want them to be a huge part of Breslin's life.  Can one of us just win the lotto so we can buy a private jet and a summer home in Grand Haven?

13.  I'm going to try to do a better job with updating...  I know I've been slacking... but I'm really into Instagram right now.... however I need to do a better job of taking pictures with my regular camera so I can get some good pictures for scrapbooking our memories!

14.  I read the first book of the Hunger Games.  I get it now...  I am going to purchase the second and third book today and try to find some time when I can read them.  Wow, do I get sucked in to all of these books that are geared towards the age of my students...  They peer pressure me into it.

15.  I love vacation, but, there's no place like home.
