Only on Wednesday...and I could only think of 8 things!
1. Yay, the binkie is gone! It was really harder for me to let go of then it was for Tyler. I didn't want to say goodbye to the plug! But thankfully when we got home from Utah, we lost his last one for a few days so it was forced to happen. I might never have done it on my own so it was a good thing!

2. Florida is good...but it's been a kinda hard change. We have been spoiled always living 5 minutes from church in Texas. Now it takes us over a half hour to get there and Brayden went from a sunbeam class of maybe 15 kids down to 2 kids, and one of them is him! It's kinda tough, but the members in our ward are really nice, even if there aren't many our age. We're only here a year, right...I can do this! I'm just feeling a tad lonely and wishing I had a few friends to hang out with :( I pretty much live for when Guy gets home!
3. Brayden is loving preschool! I never knew the hardest part of my day though, would be getting him to tell me about preschool! His answer to everything is "I can't remember" or "The same stuff..." Drives me crazy! So I have resorted to bribing him to get him to tell me. When he wants a snack, I make him tell me 3 things about school. Haha, I know it's sad, but I just want to know! Gotta make sure he's learning something in there!
4. The only part about preschool that drives me crazy is that they have it EVERY day for 3 hours. I would have much preferred 2 or 3 times a week instead. And they are pretty strict about attendance since it's being paid for by the state taxes. I guess I shouldn't complain since it's free, but I think every day is just too much for a 4 year old...at least mine!
5. I have started up running again. And it is SO hard. It's been a long time since I ran regularly so I decided it was just time. And it seems the only way I can stay motivated to do it every day is to sign up for a race. So, since we are in Florida, I thought the Disney World half marathon in January sounded like fun. You get to run through magic kingdom and you finish in Epcot and there are characters cheering you on the whole way. I mean, if you have to run, this sounds like a fun one huh! I'm pretty excited about it and I'm excited to do a half instead of a full. I think it will be the perfect distance! Anyone want to plan a trip to Florida and come run with me???
7. I was very blessed the other day. I have been having a lot of trouble with my thyroid lately and having the worst time finding a new endocrinologist. It's a little different here then in Dallas, where they have some of the best doctor's in the country. I finally found a good one, about 25 minutes away, but when I called to make an appointment, I couldn't get in until December 15. I was crushed because I really can't wait that long! So I asked them if they get cancellations a lot and they told me they do sometimes, but most people know how hard it is to get in so they don't cancel. I just had to keep calling back every day to see if anyone did. So they very next day I prayed so hard that I would get in and when I called the lady put me on hold at first, and then came back and told me that someone had just cancelled right before I called and I could get in on October 29! I am so grateful for this answer to my prayer. What a blessing!
8. We just bought Brayden a set of bunk beds (thanks Ashlie, for your advice) that we found at the Sam's Club by our house. They were a great deal and really solid and sturdy, which is what we were looking for. And the best part is you can separate them if you want to and make them into two twin beds which will be nice in the future. Brayden is pretty excited about it since up until now, he has still been sleeping in a toddler bed with a crib mattress! It was definitely time for an upgrade for that boy!
I also saw a great idea online about bunk bed bedding. It can be annoying to get to stay tucked in all the time, so if you take a piece of elastic and attatch it to the ends of the comforter (kinda making it like a fitted sheet on one side) then it will fit to the bed and stay put. You can sew it or use a piece of elastic with clips on each side so you can take it on or off whenever you want. Definitely going to try this out!
