Day 1 Savannah

The first day started out very strange. I flew out from Detroit on Delta and there were only 10 of us on the plane. I've never been on a plane that wasn't full or almost full. There were 2 very loud very southern women on the flight that thought since there were only 1o of us that we should be the best of friends, including our flight attendant. They wanted to know where everyone was from, how old we were, what we did for a living, and pretty much anything else about us short of our social security numbers. The flight attendant loved us so much that the drinks were flowing, the FREE drinks, YES!! It was too much for me. LOL All I could think about was Mesha, my dear friend that would have DIED if she was in the middle of this new friendship. Thank God about halfway through the two southerners figured about that we weren't as into this friendship as they were and quit asking us questions. These two now have a trip to Italy planned for the spring of 2013. They did not know each other before this flight and they exchanged addresses, phone numbers and bra sizes. They were so into each other that one of them is meeting the other one this Saturday at "the Cathedral" to be her plus 1 at a wedding she's going to.....weird??? I realize I'm babbling but this was one of the weirdest situations I have ever been in, twilight zone.

not our hotel, just an awesome building

Once I got to Savannah (Jeremy picked me up...no taxi, yea) I had to find the hotel. UGH

I dropped him off at school and took off to find Bay St. It was actually pretty easy. I got my key changed into shorts and flip flops and went to lunch, yes by myself. That was tough. Luckily I had my book so I just read for a little bit. How nice, peace and quiet. After lunch I found my way down to the river and walked along the water. The weather was wonderful, 73.

I had to go get Jeremy from school, easy right? NOT SO MUCH. I had to get him at 4 and it takes 25 minutes to get there. I was worried about getting lost so I left at 3. I got lost. He left his phone in the car so I couldn't call him. Long story short the lady at the front desk at his school had to guide me to him and I showed up at 4:30. Needless to say Jeremy wasn't too pleased when I pulled up. Especially since today was the day they got out early and he had been waiting for me since 330. His fault for forgetting his phone, right?

None of this would be a big deal except we had dinner reservations at Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady and Sons, at 5. I think it must be hard to get to get reservations cause there were a lot of people standing around and it was kinda busy. With all that mess we did make it just a few minutes late and had a wonderful meal.
We're old...after dinner we came back to the hotel so Jeremy could do homework and I could sleep. I'm tired, we'll be sleeping by 9 tonight lol.

Here's to hoping I can paint the town all by myself tomorrow while he's at school. Also here's to hoping I remember to take some more photos. I feel kinda silly being by myself and whipping out my camera. Maybe I'll take some lovely self portraits, haha stay tuned!

Random

My favorite thing about today....Every day when I drop Sarah off at school she turns and waves, blows me a kiss, and gives me the sign for "I love you". This morning when I dropped Sarah off at school she turned around to wave, blow a kiss and give me the sign for "I love you" and realized she had mittens on. Instead of taking the mitten off, she folded down the top of the mitten to reveal her little fingers giving me the "I love you" sign. Then she folded the mitten back up over her fingers and skipped into school. Oh man I don't want this girl to grow up!

Chuck E

We braved Chuck E Cheese on a weekend for our favorite 5 year old.

Oh yes little Sarah had a birthday last week and Chuck's is where she wanted to spend it.

Nobody in the Couch family had ever been to Chuck's, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

Poor deprived children, I blame the fact that they are 1/2 Canadian.

Is there a Chuck's in Canada??

The birthday girl. I think she was in disbelieve that such a place existed.

They've never been to Disney either, geez!

Then theres my kids, spoiled rotten, loving Chuck's.

They'll probably be asking to go there on their 16th birthdays!!

I think their favorite is the simulator.

Sarah did mention that she enjoys Disney more than Chuck's, whew!

After all the mayhem and delicious pizza we count our tickets. Tickets that we used approx 75 tokens to win. We walked away with a 3 pack of sweet tarts, a sheet of stickers, 2 mini ninjas, and a top.

Winners!!

Off to Georgia

Jeremy's off to GA for four weeks for work. He's taking a class in Savannah.

We helped him pack and get ready last night.

We haven't been apart this long since his military days. Sarah is a bit worried about him and Jacob acts like its just another day.

We took these pictures last night while he was getting ready. Sarah had asked me for a picture for her room and we haven't taken any family pictures in awhile. They couldn't take a serious one until I let them take the funny one.

Sarah and I drove him to the airport this morning and she cried after we pulled away from the terminal. I think it will be hard on her to have him away this long. We plan to skype and hopefully they'll talk on the phone a lot. Jeremy sent me a text that said "here" just a little bit ago, he's a man of many words lol.

The countdown is on, he'll be back on Feb. 12th.

I better get a good Valentine's Day present out of this, lol!

This is what we did yesterday.....

Happy Birthday to my Favorite 1 year old!!

One of my best friends had her daughter Averie's birthday yesterday.

It was so cute.

The house was done up in the cupcake theme,

and of course little Averie matched with her cupcake outfit.

I truly believe she is thinking "MOM really with this bow"

She was ALL about her cake. Nobody had to show her what to do.....

Eyes closed in pure bliss!!

Shortly after this she decided to get rid of her bow. Her plan, to smear cake all over it so mom would take it off. She's such a smart girl.
Hey Mrs. Mesha, time for my bath.
Sweet baby had it everywhere....

Back to the party, hanging with her dad Dave.

Enjoying her new cup, yes Aunt Heather enjoying it before its been washed....ewwwww!

Quality time with Gigi!

It was a fun party.

Kelli amazes me, always pulls of the perfect party at the last minute.

I'm so lucky to have such a sweet baby and her family in my life.

I often wonder what would have happened if that engagement party wouldve been the goodbye party it was supposed to be.

Everything happens for a reason.....

Are you Watching?

I love this show. The writers are amazing. The twists and turns are crazy. It's making me nuts cause I can't figure out whats going to happen. I don't see where they're gonna go after this season. They showed the last episode in the first episode so supposedly you know how it ends, but geez how the heck do they get there.

I do think that Daniel is going to end up being a bad guy....he can't be that perfect right? There's something up with him I just can't put my finger on it.

Theres so much hate in Amanda, makes me feel tense watching it. My favorite character has to be the computer geeky guy. I don't find him attractive but oh so interesting.

He's so evil but I still like him. I do not like the party planner/friend girl that has that awful accent. I was really hoping she would disappear or end up drowning in the ocean.

My other favorite show this season is Once Upon a Time. I don't usually like this type of show but this one is good. I love to see which fairy tale character the show will be about. Again I can't imagine how this will end.

I'm intrigued by the Little Red Riding Hood character. At least thats who I think she is. I'm talking about the chick that works at the diner. She's always in skimpy clothes and generally a lot of red. I could be totally wrong but I am curious what her story will be.

Lastly, luckily I don't think my friend Mesha is watching either of the above shows. She has some sort of a curse on her that whatever shows she starts watching and LOVES they get cancelled.
What good shows are you watching this season?

And don't say The Bachelor!

Words with Friends

So I've been sucked in.

I swore I wouldn't do it.

April and Kelli were playing and so I couldn't stand it anymore.

I did it....I downloaded Words with Friends on my iphone.

I just downloaded it last night. I couldn't go to sleep. I kept worrying that someone had played and was waiting for me to respond.

My battery was dead halfway through the day today.

It's soooooo addicting.
Now don't get me wrong I totally suck at it, all I can come up with are three letter words worth like 10-15 points.

Keep in mind I have NEVER played a game of scrable in my life.

Like I said I suck, so if you need a boost in your confidence look me up and let's play.

buschnn is my name!!
