Merry Christmas, Happy New Year... and everything else I missed

So... it's been a while. It's really a bummer not having the internet, and Panera's wireless is kind of iffy so this is the one thing that has fallen through the cracks. In the past two months John and I celebrated our first anniversary (with a trip to Florida... picture below) and that's about all. See! No one missed much.

I also make John babysit with me sometimes. The kids kind of liked him and wouldn't let anyone else hold him. And I can't figure out how to make this NOT underlined.


We babysat FOUR kids and I don't think John freaked out once. He's actually really good at it.

I'm still working at Panera Bread and actually really like it. It's not very cool, but I love the people I work with. Last week some of us girls from work went out for dinner and ice cream. The employees at this Panera actually become friends :)

John and I are figuring out how to make the night working thing work a little bit better for us. I stop making him feel guilty for sleeping and leaving me all alone and he sleeps easier, better and longer. He spends a couple minutes talking to me, and then I'm okay to be without him for the rest of the day. Too bad it took us almost four months to figure it out.

John has an official title at church now. He's the sound system man twice a month. Now, he already missed his one Sunday because we were in Florida, and the Wednesday night because he had to work... but I'm sure he'll actually run the sound system one of these days. I think MY objective for the lunch hour at church is to snatch as many babies as I can. Am I right Caitlin? Detroit has an abudance of children under the age of 5 who are super cute and have mothers who are willing to give them up for a little while.

We leave for California Saturday to visit the family.

That's all. I'll post again in June :)

Yay!! I was so excited to see that you posted again!

Totally LOVE the afternoon lunch goal. It happens to be mine as well. I'm pretty that's been my goal since I was like 6.

lookie cookie, you posted!

while detroit does have a large population of babies, i would like to emphasize that none of those babies are yours, nor are they likely to become yours. if you promise not to steal one, you may continue to hold the babies in peace ;]

have fun in california__i miss you already.

Amy, great to read how you and Johnny are growing in understanding and oneness! It is a lifelong project, but a very lovely thing. I hope your trip to Cali is SUPER fun, relaxing and sunny. Come see us soon.
