Congrats and D Day approaching

I want to Congratulate good friends of ours, Ky and Larry on the birth of their beautiful baby boy, Lawrence Paul Jr! We are so excited for you and we know that Maddie is going to be an amazing big sister! I look forward to meeting Paul tomorrow and we are so happy that your little family has added such a fantastic new member! Congrats!!

Tomorrow Ryan leaves for a week! We are going to Cooper's baptism and then he is leaving for a conference in VA. The thing that sucks is not that he is leaving. If it was a conference that he was actually going to get something out of it would be totally worth while. Instead he is going to some stupid conference about leadership development... This is the third one in three years... there is not much more he is going to be getting out of it. And to top it all off, Wednesday is his birthday and he is going to be gone for that too. It all basically stinks, and I get to be a single mom for the week, and get to have a new appreciation for all the single mothers in the world. The only upside is that he is coming home, where as a lot of these mom's never get the break. So even though it all really stinks, I really am going to get a new found respect for the women who do this all the time! Sorry for the rant! I am sure it is going to be better than it seems... It just needs to start!
