I'm getting so tired of the snow and the cold! This weekend I cried and told my husband that I needed to see some green, I needed to see some color, so he took us all out to the Royal Botanical Gardens yesterday! I love my husband :) I think they specialize in outside gardens but there were a few rooms inside that had flowers and trees. One room was full of Hyacinth and they smelled so good! Another room was full of trees that thrive in mediterranean climates but I noticed that a lot of them were plants and trees I'd grown up around in Southern California. On a big wall map it showed that, sure enough, the area I grew up in is a mediterranean climate. Plants like Jasmine and trees like Bottlebrushes. It was nice to see plants and trees that I hadn't seen in so long and to be honest, it made me homesick. But it was nice also to show my hubby the plants and trees and he was happy that it made me happy :)
It was our 5 year anniversary this past friday. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Well, we did go out to dinner at this family restaurant I've been wanting to try since we moved here and it was pretty good. Nathan had some fish, mashed potatoes and steamed zucchini. Since our anniversary is so close to Valentine's Day we usually celebrate both together. Last night he took us to Mandarin for chinese buffet. We had to wait 45 minutes but it was worth it, as always. It's my favorite restaurant :) Nathan had salmon and cottage cheese and some cooked soft apples.
My husband might be going to Sweden this week for work, for 2 and a half weeks. I'd love to go too but I'd rather save money for my family reunion out in Oregon that's planned for June. It's going to be tough with him gone, and he's not 100% sure he's going to go yet, but I want him to go because, well, it's Sweden! Who wouldn't want to go? My husband, that's who! He's a pretty introverted guy and he wouldn't do any sightseeing, plus he'd be working 16+ hour days. But still, it's Sweden! I wish I could say "I've been to Europe"!
Nathan is doing great. He's cruising all over the living room, feeding himself his finger foods and clapping his hands on his own. He loves to eat and will eat just about anything I give him. I'm starting to make dinners for us that he can eat too. Tonight it's honey-mustard curry chicken so he won't be able to have any of that, but I might make some on the side without the honey.
I talked to my teen son about two weeks ago and he wants to move back home with us. I told him he is more than welcome to come home, but haven't talked to him since then so I'm not sure if he's still wanting to do that. I hope so.
I hope everyone is doing well. To E: I am so sorry you are feeling so down. I wish I could help somehow, but know that I am thinking of you and praying that you will start feeling better, physically and emotionally. You are always in my thoughts!
Hugs to all!
P.S. Forgot to mention that I've figured out what I want to be when I grow up! A community outreach worker!
P.P.S. Also forgot to mention that I've applied for Canadian citizenship!
