All day the sky (and weatherman) has been threatening rain, but so far, nothing. I’m thinking the clouds can’t hold it in much longer though. It keeps getting darker, and it smells like rain is on the way.

Faith, Clara and I spent a couple hours at Grammie and Papa’s house this morning to let daddy have some quiet to get his school work done. This is his last day of these classes, so glad! I love that he’s getting his Masters degree, but I don’t love that school steals his time. The next few semesters shouldn’t be as bad since he’ll be taking fewer classes. He should be graduating in spring 2012.

I can’t believe tomorrow is his birthday already; and that he’s going to be 27, which means that I’m going to be 27 in 4 months…yikes! lol. We’re going out for dinner to the Cheesecake Factory tomorrow to celebrate our anniversary and his birthday. I’m really excited. I’ve never been to the Cheesecake Factory. I’m also excited because I’m pretty sure this will be the first time we’ve been out on an actual date with no kids since Faith has been born!

Speaking of Faith, I can’t believe she is going to be 2 next week!!! Part of me is like, yea, it feels like 2 yrs have gone by. But the other part of me is like, wait, what…no, she can’t be 2 already! She is doing so well. She’s really starting to walk a lot on her own. She’s taking about 6-10 steps consistently now. I’m sure she’ll be actually walking this summer. She’s also starting to talk a lot more and have conversations. Granted, there are only a few words I actually know what she’s saying. However, she knows exactly what she’s saying lol.

Ok, Faith just did one of the cutest most adorable things ever…praying it becomes a habit, but not holding my breath. She was all ready for bed and we were playing in the living room for a bit until bedtime. Well, she started reaching over the gate and taking books off the bookshelf. I told her to stop, and then I asked her if she was ready for bed. Here it is…she promptly walked over to her bedroom door, reached for the door knob and said “night night.” I was just about speechless. Then, even better, we went in her room, I read her some books, laid her in bed, and she went right to sleep! I am definitely speechless now!

Oh, and it did start raining…but it’s the nice rain. The calm kind that I love listening to at night.
