not loving...
1. Scratches from the new sweet pup. If you take a close look at this picture you will see the longest nails. They aren't just long, they are also SUPER sharp! So far I have 4 bruises along with 3 scrapes and one cut. Luckily Darbydoo is a cutie.
2. The humidity. Now I know that I live in South West Florida, and I have for 5 years, and by now I should be used to it, but I am not. It is so gross, almost spongelike.
3. Living far away from my family. I have been missing them a lot lately. Hopefully I will get to go and spend a weekend in August.
4. Friends living too far away, ie. Carly and Kevin, Jake and Heather, Janelle, Jess and Dustin, the Hams... you get the picture.
5. Not sleeping at night. I have always struggled with sleep. Everything wakes me up, and I usually have the hardest time falling back into a sound sleep. Any suggestions?

i am glad to see the positives outweigh the negatives!
1. I'm pretty sure that there should've been more about me in your "things that make me smile" section.
2. "having no plans on a weekend" makes you smile?!? Seriously, babe? Wanna re-consider that?
I hove all those things too. Come over later if you can. Talk to you soon.
Hey Laura,
My husband was a light sleeper too. He started wearing ear plugs to bed at night and he sleeps through almost everything.

P.S. I love your blog and they way you and Slim are such a good aunt and uncle to Brandi and Greg's kiddos. You are going to be great parents someday!
Hello friend! I love to be able to keep in touch with eachother through blogs! It is so nice to get a peek into how life is going for you. I totally understand how hard it is to be far from friends and family. We have now been away from Buffalo for 6 years! I can't believe it. Thankfully we have been blessed with friends in the places God has placed; all the same it is still difficult at times. You are in my thoughts!!! Love and blessing to you and Slim!
