wake up get up get out

You'll never believe what I did. I woke up at 5am this morning so I could go to a Jazzercise class at 5:30am. When I told my husband last night that I was going to the morning class he just laughed at me, cause I really do like to sleep. BUT I was determined, and I got myself out of bed and went to class. I was surprised at how many people showed up, it was kinda nice. The best part was I was home and showered before anyone else in the house was up. I need to train my body to get up in the morning and go to sleep earlier. I'm more of a night owl, I like to stay up late with my husband after the girls are in bed, and sleep until the girls wake me up. =o) I haven't voluntarily gotten up this early....ever, unless you count seminary, but that's not really voluntary when your parents are pushing you out the door at 6am. =o) To keep this short, I loved it!! Even though I'm a little sleepy right now, I prefer the morning over the night class...less stuff to get in the way. I just need to get past that alarm clock and wake up, get up, and get out. Other news: my next door neighbor offically moved out yesterday morning really early for Houston. I'm already sad to see him go. Then just a few hours later the new neihgbors pulled up and started painting the house and "claiming" rooms. I haven't had a chance to meet them yet, I just know that they have 2 little dogs, 3-4 cars, and teenagers. =o) Other than that I have been planning my baby's 1st birthday party! I have made an ice cream cake! well it's not done yet, and it's the first time I've done it. =o) I've used a bundt cake pan, let the cake cool, then cut off the top, used an ice cream scoop to kinda scoop out the center leaving a shell of cake. Then I put the cake in the freezer for about an hour to make it easier so I could "stuff" the softened ice cream in the shell. Should be interesting. I'll post pictures if it works out. hehehe. Then the next night, my sister and I are off to Seattle (kid and husband free) to visit our older sister for the weekend! I love my kids and my husband, but I am really looking forward to sister time. =o) We have lots planned and little time to get it all done. Can't wait!
