Date at The Cheesecake Factory

So something awesome has come to my attention and that is I can go on dates more easily with my husband once again. Grant has started to go down to bed around 6-7pm finally. I had heard some girls in church talk about how early their babies when to bed and I was baffled. Grant went to bed usually the earliest at 8:30pm. So now we are lucky enough to have a baby that goes down at 6pm and now since the Grandparents are home Perry and I can go on dates and the Grandparents are sitting a sleeping baby that probably won't wake up. We went to dinner with my birthday money to The Cheesecake Factory and it was awesome. The lighting was low and romantic. We sat on the patio with a candlelit dinner and we enjoyed the smooth music they played and the nice night Henderson atmosphere. I especially loved the lanterns above the tables inside and the starlike lights on the side of the building. Plus the food was amazing!

Time Flies

Its been a while to say the least. As you can see from the previous post we have graduated, sold stuff, and more and more stuff. Now we have also cleaned our apartment and moved out. Our apartment manager was really impressed with how clean we got it to be. It should have been clean too. It took a day and half to do. So we had a couple neighbors help us as well and it was soo awesome. I felt like I wasn't completely worn from it at all. So that was great. We gave them lots of food too. Our neighbors are really sweet. They had recently moved in and we had had a couple game nights with them and they just we really fun, kind people. Too bad we are no longer neighbors with them. We road tripped down to Vegas, stopping at Perry's sister's house for the night, which was great to touch base with her (in Sandy, Ut) and made our merry way down. It took 10 hours to do a 6 hour drive, partly because we stopped and enjoyed the historic Cove Fort for 2 hours and we stopped at Denny's in St. George, Ut for dinner, basically to give Grant a break. It was fun and relaxing, especially since I had to drive the whole way because Perry's license expired.

-Funny story with that... It expired in April and we didn't realize it. Two praxis tests later, we went to Pocatello, ID to take the GRE and was denied entrance because it was expired. We had the forfeit $165 of fees for the test and with have to pay that same amount for Perry to take it again here in Vegas. Lame. Its too bad they didn't realize it had expired when he took the Praxis test because those tests would have been a lot cheaper to retake.

Anyway, so we are settled here in Vegas. It took a few days to unpack and get organized but its done now. Grant is getting used to sleeping in a crib and we are enjoying the rest of summer. We are working out everyday and spending time with my parents. Grant is really getting to know his Yancey Grandparents. Everyday after Papa Yancey gets home, Grant sits on his lap and spends quality time with him.

Developments of Grant:

Around 5 and 1/2 months old, Grant started Bananas, then we visited Redding (went camping, boating, hiking, and caught up with friends), and Grant tried watermelon, grapes, cantalope, and a bunch of other fruits. The only fruit he rejects is nectarine. I know you are only supposed to do one a week but Grant was okay with it all. Oh and we all got the flu! Grant now sits up! He babbles like crazy! Baba, mama, gaga.... and so on. It is soo delightfully cute! And he is now 6 months old. My big baby boy!

My birthday!

I turned 22 also while I hadn't been blogging. So Perry got me a great curling iron. I love it! I thought it was a necessity now that my hair is officially long. The day we spent at the lake boating was my birthday in Redding, CA. Perry took me out on a date later to Logan's Roadhouse and we bought an ice cream cake for my birthday cake. My sister-in-laws babysat. I'm very thankful to them for that.
