10 on Tuesday

I'm jumping on the "10 on Tuesday" bandwagon...this week anyway. I'll see if I can even get through 10 today first.

1. Teagun started swimming lessons yesterday. I seriously almost teared up when he walked away with his class to get in the water - he looked so big and independent, but he is still my baby. I am *not* that mom, so it totally caught me off-guard.

2. He has preschool orientation next week. I'm guessing by my reaction to swim lessons, that the first day of preschool might be kind of rough on me...unless he acts like he needs me. I think that is what got me yesterday, he was just like, "see ya later, mom!" and turned around and walked away without thinking twice about it. He went to daycare full time for 2.5 years and he loved it and I loved it...I seriously have no idea where this is coming from. But we both are super excited for school to start! Now I don't have to feel guilty that I am "dumbifying" (like that word??) my child...lol!

3. Next month is mine and Trevor's 15 year "dating" anniversary. I'm trying to get him to go on a mini-vacation, but he is fighting it of course. Any good recommendations??? I was thinking of a short cruise out of California, but haven't looked into it all that much.

4. I have a girlfriends long weekend planned in October with two of my very good friends from high school. We all turned 30 this year, so we are all flying to San Diego and hanging out and going to the spa - can't wait!

5. Yes, Trevor endlessly complains about all my trips and leaving him at home, but then when I try to plan a trip with him, he doesn't act like he wants to go, so it is his own fault! :)

6. I jumped on the Twilight book bandwagon and am loving it! I am not a big reader - I honestly can't remember the last book I read, but I have read almost 3books in two weeks now. Love them. Yes, they are geared toward young teenagers, but I don't care! The third book is taking me a long time, but I think it is because I know I will only have one book left and then it will be all over! So I need book recommendations - preferably series books, but I am open to single books too!

7. Look how big he is getting. I get asked all the time if he is four...makes me kind of sad because I'm sure people expect him to act a little older than he really is then. But he is so darn sweet and cute (minus the whining and talking back).



8. And my Miss. Piggy. Seriously, this girl will eat anything and everything and can't get enough.



9. I love Google Reader. I don't know how I lived without it! I love reading blogs and am subscribed to almost 150 now and can keep up with relative ease. If you don't use it, you should (just be sure to still click into my blog and leave me a comment every now and again still!!!) :)

10. I am putting together information on my Holiday Mini-Sessions I will be offering, so be on the look-out for that in the next week or so! Yes, it is only August, but Christmas will be here before you know it and you will then already have your cards ready to go and pictures to give as gifts!!!
