Just a sip of Coffey

Uncle Sam painting Joey's "Hand nails" as Joey would say So I guess you could say Sam has finally made me see through his eyes. We have been having the same..I guess you could say argument for weeks now. The baby argument. I have been practically begging Sam for weeks to please just let us have one. Just one...for now. Well Sam has rejected me on this request for weeks. I even told him that he could tell Santa that's what I wanted for Christmas. He still didn't give in. So I came to the realization yesterday that we'd better wait. Sam and I babysat the Coffey kids yesterday and I had a lot of fun..and I think Sam did as well...it was one of my favorite memories of Sam when he painted Joey's nails, and rocked one of the babies to sleep. It made me extremely excited to have kids of our own and see Sam in daddy action. But what I realized is that Sam is right. He and I have so much fun together, and we need that time because once we have kids, it will ...

Photo taken By Sam on his iPhone4. We did it! We went to Lagoon. this is a big accomplishment for me since I have been pretty much terrified of the place for, oh, ten years. Sam's parents decided that for Christmas gifts this year that we would take a family trip to Lagoon. I was super nervous at first, but once we got there I realized it wasn't so bad, and I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. Sam and I had a great time with the family and even bounced back with my family. I think it's the beginning of us going to Lagoon every year. Very fun! Even though I am still a wimp and Sam may have to wait a long time for me to go on some of these rides, but I think overall he will be happy with what he can get out of me.

I have many goals in life. One of them is to bake a perfect pie. Well I did it! the past few days I have been working on making this pie that I have been dreaming about for weeks. I broke up the pie making into two days so that I made sure it would be perfect and not rushed. Day one I made the crust and  pitted all of my cherries. Day two I did all the hard stuff. The actual assembly of the pie and the baking. Which by the way had to bake for almost 2 hours. I was slightly worried once the pie was in the oven just because I have had a few mishaps while baking. I was just praying that this wasn't going to be one of them. When the time came I got the pie out of the oven and it was fantastic. We all were able to enjoy some wonderful million calorie pie!  The pie filling! MMHMM! Sweet Perfection!

I truly wish I had a picture for this one. Sam and I have been meaning to go swimming all summer long, and it didn't happen until this past Wednesday. We had one, well maybe two goals when we went to the pool. One, to get a sweet tan, and Two, to have fun with each other. We decided to go with the tanning oil instead of the sunscreen which we thought would make our tans even better! Well we get home and it's pretty obvious we have been in the sun all day. My tan is pretty good, and Sam, well he's about the same color he was when we got to the pool that morning. It wasn't until the next day that we realized how serious Sam had been burnt. It looked like he was just fried. Totally red and burnt. I felt really bad since I didn't get a burn but I tried to make Sam as comfortable as I could. I thought the burn would gradually get better, but the truth is, it has only gotten worse.There has been no sleep and lots of pain...so I have decided to compile a short list to help...

For the past few weeks Sam has started scaring me when I come out of the bathroom. He will literally wait until the toilet flushes and then comes and quietly stands outside the bathroom door. Naturally, I don't anticipate someone to be standing there and it's quite frightening! This has happened a few times and Sam tends to think he is the funniest thing ever when he is able to freak me out. So I have totally forgiven him for doing this, because it's just fun. So the greatest thing happened on Sam's day off. We were just hangin out, watchin LOST, and Sam got up to use the bathroom. After a minute, I thought, What a perfect opportunity for me to scare Sam with his own joke! So I heard the toilet flush and I quietly, trying not to totally giggle, wait outside the door. Sam opens it, and I am pretty sure he was more scared than I have ever been when he has done it to me. It was the funniest thing! It brought me great joy, and I will never forget how awesome it was to watch...

Well...many of you who know me, know that I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan! We got tickets to go see the movie yesterday before the midnight showing. I have been so extremely excited about this movie that it's not even funny. It's the final chapter, the epic conclusion of the whole Harry Potter story. I think seeing this movie with Sam let him see my true nerdiness about the whole thing. I just couldn't stop being excited the entire movie, which was excellent. When we got home I was still so excited that it took me, what seemed like ages to fall asleep. Me falling asleep was still not good enough..I had Harry Potter dreams all night, and woke up ready to see the movie again! The good news, I think Sam liked it too, and he was able to accept my inner dork. Sam and I in our super sweet matching Harry Potter shirts!

Well after the long wait since October, we finally got a Google TV. Since we have been so into the TV show Lost, we decided we needed to get a second TV. Let me back up, we have two TV's, only one of them is super small. So Sam decides that he is going to start looking and sets a price range, and all the requirements of this new TV and happens to find a Google TV that fits all of those requirements. It's almost as if he already knew about this TV, which is totally perfect. We have had it since the beginning of the week and I am still deciding how sold I am on the whole thing. Hopefully Sam can show me something that impresses me about it! hahahahaha!
