My Husband Must Really Love Me...

How many days are left until I'm done working? This is the question I continually find myself asking. Only 35 more days stand between me and rest...at least before this little baby comes. That will give me about 1 month to prepare and make sure everything is (at least sort of) set up for the first day we bring Lilly home. I am so excited!
She has been moving around all over the place lately. I feel kicks, punches, rolling, moving, and other crazy movements going on, which is probably why my stomach has been hurting. She must be stretching me out! My guess is that this little girl is going to be a mover once she gets on her two little feet.

It has been so hot lately that Kaleb has had to push his half marathon training later into the evening. But even at 7pm it's still blazing outside! I guess the sun is helping out our little potted plants, though...

It's been between 8 or 9 months since the last time Kaleb and I have tackled fish for dinner. Our last few experiences ended with smoke and burnt fish. Not good. So we let some time go by and decided to try our hand at cooking fish again.

Grilled Tilapia with Crunchy Corn Salsa

Dinner was grilled tilapia with crunchy corn salsa. Pretty good. However, I would want to alter the ratio of lime zest that we put into the salsa. Less zest, more juice. The best thing was, however, that we didn't burn the fish! In fact, it was delicious! The fish seasoning was perfect: 2 parts pepper, 2 parts salt, 1 part cayenne pepper. The only thing I wish was that we had a grill... but the skillet worked just fine and the fish tasted great :)

Kaleb Scrubbing my Feet

The evening brought a little surprise as Kaleb volunteered to give me a pedicure and massage my feet. My husband must really love me, because my feet aren't the prettiest, especially right now. But he concocted a foot soak solution (1 part Listerine, 1 part vinegar, 3 parts hot/warm water, and some Epsom salt), scrubbed my feet, took off the previous polish, and filed my nails. It felt so good! He is so good to me :)

You know, it really is the simple things in life, like not burning the fish for dinner and getting a foot massage, that really can turn a day around and put a smile on your face :)
