Jeff has received a raise and will be working the day shift. His official hours aren't set yet, but he will begin onsite training April 21st. Right now they are saying he will go for two weeks of offsite training starting the 28th, in Michigan. That's about all we know right now, but he's pretty pumped. We started talking big last night about each getting a night out, scheduling a date night, and the phrase "weekly poker night" was uttered, and a second "every other week, maybe" quickly followed. ; ) so by the end of the conversation, we were just smiling saying- we'll see.
I guess it worked out pretty well that he'll be training offsite while I'm in Florida, because Alaina will get a lot of attention from Mimi and Papa while we are gone, and then when I get back, Aunt Stacey will be around to help me spoil her a bit more. All will be prep for the big day when Daddy will be coming home in the evenings to play. I'm getting misty I'm so excited!

First thing first, she forgot her promise. The next night I laid her down in my bed, she crawled out of bed, found her way to the stair in the dark! crawled up them and walked through the kitchen in the dark! and came to find me in the den. She did good over the weekend, but her sleep schedule is a little off yet, she doesn't want to go to bed until 9-10 pm. Stupid daylight savings time!
Jeff's parents came up and we got to go out and see a friend sing with her band. It was great! She was great! Jeff got all the fixtures up and the city inspectors came and signed off on the electrical and the construction. Actually, they didn't sign off on the construction because Jeff talked to him about what we would need to redo our hallway and he said if we were going to do it soon, he would let us do it under the original permit. I called and ordered our roll off so hopefully some family wants to come rips some walls down for beer. Papa are you there?:p
Anyway, we've talked about hanging some poster prints in the hallway and I've always wanted a bit of hollywood glamour in my house so I'm thinking I need some good old pics. Stacey left us two gorgeous prints of Paris and I'm looking at some James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, rat pack or other black and whites. What do you think?

Florida Here I Come!
It's true! I'm finally going to visit! I'm headed down to see my sister April 30th. I'm so excited I'm beside myself! We'll hang out and do girly stuff Thursday and Friday and then sometime in the afternoon Saturday, we'll hop in her car for a long drive back! It's going to be a blast!
And last night I learned how cunning my child really is. Alaina and I were reading a book before bedtime and when I said it was time to go to bed, she hopped down and ran for her crib. I was so excited that she was ready to sleep. But she just yanked her blanket out through the bars and headed for my bed. After a great debate (crying and screaming on her part), she won and I told her she could only stay in my bed last night, tonight she would have to sleep in her own bed. She readily agreed to this and I laid her down with a couple of pillows to hinder a fall. But when I went to go upstairs, she patted the pillow beside her and said "Mama?" I guess the big thrill about sleeping in Mommy's bed is only when Mommy's in it! Fortunately I didn't cave on the point that it wasn't Mommy's bedtime and she only protested with a little whine. Hopefuly she remembers her promise to sleep in her bed tonight.

Anniversary
Today is our wedding anniversary and I can't believe its been three years! Well actually, I can't believe its only been three years. Next October we'll have been together for 10 years, crazy huh? We're going to grab lunch together today to celebrate and ladies . . . I'm getting a big ol' steak! Ha ha! Jeff still hasn't heard about any of the jobs he put in for, they told him he should hear by the week before Easter, and then changed to say after April 1st. He also found out his boss is leaving to go work at a place in Broken Bow. Apparently they are hiring for a lot of jobs out there. His boss apparently is getting a lot more money, so her husband can stay home with the kids. Jeff jokingly asked if I would be willing to move there if he could get a great paying job. I answered the same way I always do . . "I'll more anywhere for the right price." Seriously! I don't want to move to the coasts, but if Jeff would be offered a job that pays enough that I could quit working, I would seriously consider it. But he was mostly joking, mostly.
Alaina's still not feeling herself, she's got a nasty throat but its not strep. She started coughing again this morning, but she ate better last night. We went out to eat with my friend Shannon who was down from Omaha. I haven't seen her in quite a while so it was nice to hang out!

Yay Easter!
Alaina and Jeff both get tomorrow off, but I have to drag myself into the office. Yawn! Actually, I like working on days like tomorrow. Since most people take it off, I get to be ultra productive because there are few phone calls because there are few people yay! I don't know if much changed, but I had this blog associate with my work email, turns out I'd tried to create one for my hotmail email, and couldn't get back in at the time. Well, now my office is starting a blog and, you guessed it, its here in blogspot! So I did some fancy dancing to get this off of my work email, because people could easily find it on my profile!
We went to me my brother and his wife in the mile high city last weekend, and I found out that for some reason, I get carsick now. Never in my life have I ever gotten carsick, but after 2 hours, it hits. Ick. Anyway, big bro, sister, hubby, Papa, and myself loaded up for a trip to the Coors brewery. I love going there. I actually drank a small cup of nice fresh beer, and it wasn't bad. Maybe my tastebuds are dying or something. I wanted to buy a neat neon sign for our bar area at home, but I settled for $2 worth of those silly cardboard coasters you can get at any bar. I should ahve just stolen them, but then I wouldn't get to say I bought them at the brewery now would I?
Mimi is coming up to watch Alaina so that Jeff and I can work on the bedroom project. The walls are ready to be primed and I am more excited that I have any right to be . . . Painting soon!!!
