An expensive mistake

So, I had an adventurous week with my whole ring thing. I tried everything! I even tried Window cleaner. I was so desperate to get my ring off my finger I sat in a cold bath on Friday night. Finally on Saturday we went and got it cut off at a jewelers. But, their tool broke in the middle of the process, so we had to go to another place and finish it up. Good thing they had a strong guy there! He used the pliers and opened up my ring so I could get it off. They said that my ring was definitely build really well and sturdy. (Great job Dales Jewelers!)
The workers at the mall that got my ring off were pretty ticked that we didn't have them put it back together for us. Their prices weren't as good as Morgan Jewelers though. So, we went back there and it cost us 50 dollars to get it fixed, engraved, and ship it to us. All in all it was so relieving to get my ring off. I will never do that again. Sometimes in life I have to learn the hard way. :)

Frustration

Last night we went swimming and the water was cold at first, so my ring was starting to get loose on my ring finger. I traded it to my middle finger. Now I can't get it off. I have tried everything and I am so frustrated! My finger is way swollen now. I think I need to just leave it alone for a few days and then try again with baby oil, peanut butter, lotion, etc. Ha Ha. I know it will eventually come off. Or will it?
Does anyone have any advice. Help Me!

Sweet Pea Performs

We have this box by the back door that we keep our shoes in. Lilly likes to pull herself up next to it, pull shoes out, and put them back in. She's making new mile stones each day.

Morning Walk

I guess you can get a great health benefit from walking. So, I am going to attempt getting into a walking routine. Today we went out around 8:30 and it was a little warmer than my liking, but still refreshing. I feel so good, so good in fact that I came back and scrubbed all 3 of our bathrooms.
I met a women at the walking path, she has 4 kids. They were close in age with my kids. She goes every morning, so I decided I might start meeting her there. I said might, I don't want to totally commit to it. If I get busy and can't make it, I don't want to feel like a failure.:) But, I think I will give it a try for a while. It makes me feel great to exercise!

These pictures were taken this morning before our walk.

Boy Stuff

Wes took the boys down to The Hill Air Force Base Museum while Lilly and I went to my cousins baby shower. They had such a good time. It is good for them to have some alone time with Daddy.
