Melton Memories

Wow this year has flown by! I can't believe it is already Christmas time!! This year Wayne and I decided to put up an artificial tree (mostly because I really wanted to put one up the day after Thanksgiving and a real one would die) We decided to wait a little bit before decorating because we wanted to see how much damage Hemi our kitten would do to the tree since this is his first Christmas.... Well he left the tree alone until the ornaments went on! To date he has knocked off and broken / hidden about 15 ornaments! I thought I would out smart him and decided to lock him up in the spare room at night so he couldn't attack the tree while we slept... well that didn't go so well, he decided to get back at me and literally came running out of the room right into the tree!!! So... I went out and bought plastic ornaments to put around the bottom half of the tree and it has helped a little. I think that he is still obsessed with breaking the glass ones though (Wayne woke ...

Wayne's all time favorite band in the world!!! (RUSH) 35 years ago today you were born! Only God knew that he would bring us together after 29 of those years. I am so thankful for you in my life!!! I know that you are working today, but I hope that you have a slow and relaxing day filled with movies and ping pong at the station. Who knows maybe you will get a surprise visit from the dessert fairy! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I love you!!!

Have you ever heard the music from a play and just feel like it moves you so much, gosh I don't even know if I can quite explain it right.... We went to see The Phantom of the Opera on Saturday night with our best friends Seth & Shauna to celebrate our Anniversaries that are later this month. We had such a great time!! Wayne was the only one who had not seen the actual play before (he had only seen the movie). Seth did an awesome job and got us seats smack in the middle. We were so close we could actually see the performers faces!! Before we went in we all looked at each other laughing and said... Ok no one is allowed to sing the songs out loud! Of course I asked them all later if they could hear me humming along (thankfully they didn't so that means I didn't embarrass myself like I thought! LOL) The Phantom of the Opera is my favorite play ever!!! There is just something about the music that takes my breath away and gives me goosebumps all the while making me f...

Ok, so after many a year of coming up with excuses and dodging the work out bullet I have joined a gym! We had a new YMCA open up right by our house so Wayne and I went over and checked it out and decided to give it a whirl. This of course means that Wayne will have to give up his current gym (which is going to be tough since it has a cafe, salon, etc.. in it) but hey thems the breaks! LOL So far I have been trying (that being the key word) to go each night after work, I figure that is a huge step considering for the last 34 years of my life I have not gone at all! I have to say that I am pretty proud of myself for going as much as I am and not chickening out (Wayne has played a big part in this as he makes me go with him). Truth be told I have this weird phobia of gyms, but I am trying to work through that and go anyway and so far I am doing pretty darn good if I do say so myself. So, I guess we will see how my will power holds out through the Holiday season, hopefully well so I ...
