This and that

Okay so here's a quick update along with some other things on my mind.

Things are well.

Mercedes started potty training last week and has picked it up SO well!  She still has a ways to go but I'm so proud of her!

Monday morning Mercedes had just gotten finished with eating her breakfast (which consisted of taking only a few bites) when she stood on the kitchen floor and threw up.  The rest of the day she was sick and feverish, but with only one other accident thank goodness!  I got to hold her most of the day and I loved it!  She even fell asleep in my arms which most people who know her know that that NEVER happens.

Here is a photo Taylor took of the two of us.  I'm eating delicious eggs Taylor made me for breakfast while Mercedes took a late morning nap.  Please ignore my grossness.  I desperately needed a shower at this point.  Thank you Slade for her white bear which acted as a perfect substitute while her bunny went through the laundry.

Thankfully the next day Mercedes was feeling better again.  Yay!

Taylor and I are still preparing to get our bicycles in order so that we can ride together.  Taylor's is almost finished and I'm just waiting for the frame for mine.  I actually had it already but we ended up needing a smaller size so we sent it back.  We are so SO SO excited!

After weeks of not running I finally started again this week.  By starting I mean I've only gone twice, and I feel pretty weak.  I hate getting behind like that.  But I felt an extra boost on Sunday when they announced in church that our Stake is doing a 5K on Memorial Day.  How awesome is that!?

Taylor and I will be celebrating our 4 year anniversary on the 29th and we've decided to go camping and take our new bikes on a long ride.  We can't wait!

My sister-in-law Christina Nelson colored my hair last weekend and I LOVE it!  I haven't had it highlighted since Taylor and I were dating.  it's always nice to have a fresh new look.  Here are some photos!

This first one shows the highlights better than the second photo.  I had her put in caramel/copper highlights with a few blonde in between.

Not much else is going on.  I wish I took more pictures.  My camera is so lame and Taylor's is out of batteries often.  We have very old school phones but are hopefully going to upgrade soon which means I will have a MUCH better camera that will be with me much more often, as phones usually go with people wherever they go.  A nice camera phone, two things in one...ah sounds so nice.
