MY FABULOUS FRIDAY!

The Hampton Inn & Suites in San Clemente!

Grant and I get our first WHOLE NIGHT alone since we got married! We are only going 30 minutes south but it feels like a little mini vacation! Just to be the two of us, a married couple is amazing! I love my daughter more than anything but it will be so nice to have a night just for the two of us. She is very excited as she gets to spend the whole night with Grammie. They are going to see a play at the Childrens Repertory in Fullerton, Beauty and the Beast. Krystina can't contain her excitement, and sadly... neither can I.

I know that the next few weeks/months are going to be really busy for Grant and I, between jobs, parenting, the Army and my volunteering, we will really need to find a perfect balance to keep our little family happy! I could not be more content with my life if I tried. I mean, I could always use more money, a house, a Mercedes GL 450... but in all honesty I love my life and my family.

Krystina has been in quite the little mood lately... if I didn't know better I would think that PMS is hitting my 4 year old! She is crying at the drop of a hat, talking back, grunting back and out right being defiant ON PURPOSE! The other night she was sitting on grammie's lap and Grant was talking to her, she burst into tears long enough for grammie to see and then looked at Grant with a smile and went back to crying. Are little one's really this manipulative at 4? If so we are so screwed when she is a teenager! ha ha I am baffled by her because of the fact she was an amazing child most of the time that daddy was gone. I am sure 3 weeks is almost a lifetime in her little world for him to be gone. Maybe this is just that testing phase that I have dreaded. She is just pushing the limits to see who lets her get away with what and how much. I really hope that this little phase is gone soon. I hate to see her like this.
