home again!

we're home! yay! actually, we got home tuesday evening, but i haven't had much chance to get on till today. i was able to check my email once and them my monitor died. i just got a new one today. it cost more than i would have liked, but it's WAY nice, so i'll live! :) hahaha! anyways, so we're settled back in and doing well. we're LOVING the warmer weather down here! it's nice after being in much cooler weather for the last month.

so, last night trevor started clapping and it was the CUTEST thing! i need to get a video of him clapping to put on here, i'll try to do that soon. . . he's all over the place, starting to pull up on stuff (although he'll only stand on his knees, not sure why), and i think he's in ANOTHER growth spurt! that kid never stops, i swear! :)

my show went well, and i had a TON of fun! i miss it already and wish i could have kept it up. everyone in the company up there was asking me to stay for the summer show in august, but i told them most likely i won't be there for it. i did promise to come up for any shows that happen whenever jon is deployed though, since it'll be less of an issue during those times. anyways, a friend of mine should be sending me a video of the show, so i'm excited about that. all my friends here wanted to see me dance, so i promised i'd get a dvd for them.

other than that, things are pretty boring around here. i joined the library here (took me almost 2 years living here to get there, but i did!) and got some books and a dvd of the breakfast club. i've never seen it before, so i figured it was worth it (especially since it's free, right?). . . i saw 16 candles for the first time yesterday, so i guess i'm on a molly ringwald kick for now. :) anyways, when i was watching it, i figured out where my psycho college roommie, malorie, got some of her ideas from. . . she's was ALWAYS saying that she didn't want people to know that she ate. i had never heard anyone say that before (i'd heard people say they didn't want a guy to know HOW MUCH they ate, but never that they didn't want him to know they ate at ALL), but anyways, molly ringwald says it in there! i had to pick my jaw up off the floor. i mean, i know malorie loved the 80's but COME ON, using a random line from a movie as your life motto? that's a little sad. . .

anyways, i told jon we need to get a dog. trevor loves them and we've been wanting one for awhile and i think we could actually afford one now. . . i'm gonna have to call the vet here on base on monday and find out what the initial cost is to get a puppy fixed and get all its shots and stuff. . . and yeah, i know we could go to the humane society and get a dog there, but jon has a point when he says that he wants to get a puppy so that we know the history and stuff. that way too, we can train the dog and not have to worry about say, whether its house-trained or not (b/c obviously, it won't be, but the dog will be young enough that we can fix that). . . anyways, we've gotta figure out what breed to get b/c i'd LOVE something that doesn't shed a ton but is a little bigger. we don't want a dog that we'll end up tripping over, you know? and jon refuses to get a poodle, so it'll have to be something else. i'm not sure what else there is, so i'll have to do some looking. my mom suggested a poodle mix, which is a pretty good idea. she said we should get a labradoodle. . . i said a schnoodle. . . we'll see. . .
