Sunshine, Springtime, and Shopping!

Today is a yummy day! It's just beautiful, the sun is out with just a few clouds, the snow has melted away, and the green grass is looking happy as can be! Spring is finally arriving! I'm overjoyed at this thought, it's still only about 45 degrees outside but i think after i go to the gym and get home I'm going to take a good book outside and soak up some sunshine, even if I have to wear sweats and a sweatshirt to keep warm just sitting in the sun will be amazing!

Along with the sunshine spring colors are out again! That means stores aren't filled with dark colors anymore but lovely pastels; blue, pink, yellow, green, the colors of spring! Soon will come summer colors which are super bright! Oh happy day! Along with spring comes flowers, not the lovely kind that comes from a boy but the ones that pop up in the most random places, little flowers all over the hills waving in the wind. Gardens full of color, fresh fruit, strawberries, new baby animals at the farms i drive past everyday! Oh and with the passing of February they gym empties back out all the new years eve resolutions of getting in shape are out the window and it's just the dedicated people still around! I'll finally get to use my favorite machines again! Oh and my Bald Eagles will be coming back, flying by the window, perching on the trees in the back yard! Happy happy day!

Micah story time: When Micah woke up i told him that we needed to get all dressed because we needed to run some errands, so we got all dressed and ready and hopped into the car! Well i needed to go to the bank but what i really needed was to just get out of the house and it was raining so there was no way we could go to a park or anything so i decided to go shopping. Upon pulling into the mall parking lot Micah takes one look and says "NO I am NOT going in that dress store" I've only taken him to Maurice's three times in the last 4 months! So i convinced him that we were going to other stores too, and managed to get him out of the car and we walk into the mall and towards Maurice's and before we even get to the entrance he plants his feet into the ground removes his hand from mine looks at it and declares "i don't want to...i don't like that dress store, it's ugly." hahaha Good thing I'm bigger than him, we went in anyways and the lady that works there greets us with how are you today and Micah using his manners (I'm always telling him that he needs to use his manners and answer when people ask him a question) says "I don't like it here, it's bad" Then proceeds to show the lady his nice glow in the dark bracelet he had. so while i shopping he informs me that he is going to hide and run away and that we need to leave and he's thirsty and anything he can think of to get out of the awful store. The ladies got a kick out of him! I have such a special job! He's so sweet though no matter how much of a pain he can be sometimes it's so worth it when i tuck him into bed for his nap time and he blows me kisses and tells me I'm his favorite!

Oh ya another big thing...I Allyson Renee Barton have 3 days off and i didn't go to Oregon! How crazy amazing is that!

nap time

Just a quick little story about micah....so he woke up from his nap the other day and came out and looked at me and asked "where's my mom?" "she's at work Micah" "then i'm going back to bed" and back into his room he marched and shut the door....i guess i don't rate as high as his mom! lol
Today he woke up asked where she was and when i told him he said he didn't want anything and she didn't need to get money...i think he might be missing mommy time.

fun weekend

Well as most of you know my weekends have been spent driving down to Oregon to see everyone, and i'm exhausted! haha i guess it's about time my lack of sleep and constant driving got me! But let me tell you it has been so worth it! I love my friends and family so much and i have so much fun when i'm with them! Most of the time we just hang out and talk and play games and such, but this last weekend we went skiing, well i went skiing they snowboarded. It was Brandon, Kyle, Kimbria, David, Jordan, Scott, and me. we were on the mountain all day long and it was not snow it was pretty much all ice and super scary but it was a blast at the same time. I did break my new years resolution of not getting hurt this time for sure! I hurt my hand pretty badly at first it looked like i may have broken it but now it's just looking badly sprained which is a good thing! I wonder how much longer it will be until i just move back to Oregon...
oh i think i may go to school and get a degree in journalism....hmmm maybe photo journalism.... at least i'll take some writing classes as soon as i can! Next weekend is Idaho!!!! the weekend after that back to oregon i go!
