DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soooo....my boss e-mailed me today and said I AM OFFICIALLY ON THE DAYS SCHEDULE!!!!!! Yiiippppppeeee!!!!!!!!!! Words cannot express how much this means for us. We've been praying since October (the night after I started working nights) that a position would open up on days. When I didn't think I could take anymore sleepless days, sleepless nights, 30 hour no sleep runs, nights without Andrew, crying, emotional rollar coasters, etc., I went out on a limb and e-mailed my boss reminding her that I STILL wanted to go on nights. And wallah! I'll be starting nights in August. That's like only 13 more shifts, 13 more nights until we no longer have to sleep alone, 13 more and I will finally be on a normal sleep schedule and hopefully these dark circles will disappear! We are a little excited!

Birthday Weekend- Band Wife Style
Friday
Red Lobster with Phil and Kaitlyn!!!! Love those two, and will soon love three! :)
Saturday
Worked on the new house. It's really coming along. I planted lots of flowers to give it the "curb appeal." Not sure how much I improved the look, but at least it has some flowers. It has to look a little better, right? The night was spent at Ma and Pa Schneider's. Matt cooked up some fiiiinnne pork tenderloin on the grill.
Sunday
My birthday!!!! The day you can do things like eat 5 pieces of cake, or stay in your pj's until 10:00, or stay up late, "because it's my birthday." I LOVE birthdays. I'm also a traditionalist. Every year for my birthday (July 4) we would wake up early, go to the Casey parade, have a swim party, and finish the night with fireworks. This year was WAY different. Andrew had a gig in Springfield, IL at the Capital Building. We were to get there at 8:00 am (meaning alarm went off at 5:45!!!). We made it to Springfield and waited and waited and waited. I ended up reading a book on the Capital Lawn. The gig started at 6:30, so we went shopping and ate Coldstone (Yuuuuuummmy!). The boys played great, it rained, and we went home. On the way home we bought Icee's. I had a large red one- because red is the best, and red is a 4th of July color, and a large was only $.99. It was not my usual 4th of July birthday, but it was spent with my husband and friends. What more could I ask for?
Monday
Off to the farm for us. Mom welcomed us home with pork burgers, watermelon, corn and green beans from the garden, macaroni and cheese, red velvet cake, and homemade ice cream. (I'm a little spoiled.) Later, Jars of Clay and NEEDTOBREATHE were playing in the big town of Martinsville, IL. We love Jars of Clay and had to go. Mom, Dad, cousins, aunts, and even Granny Kay and Grandpa made it out. It was a blast, but I had an even better time watching G&G "rocking out" to the show.
