That Aint Bad

     Today our sweet baby Marcus slept in until 8am!  He fell asleep last night around 7:30 while I was feeding him, so for you math majors out there, he slept 12 1/2 hours!  He woke up briefly at 4am, but was quick to go back to sleep when I slipped him a pacifier.  Man, this child is spoiling us! 
     So we got up around 8am and have had an amazing and productive day since.  The weather here in good ol' Asheville has been between 55-60 degrees today.  In my dad's words, "it's a gal-durn heat wave."  After Marcus took his morning nap, we packed him up and headed over to the Asheville Racquet Club to check out their new fitness facility.  We liked what we saw and will probably get a membership there on Monday.  It's nice because it's new, there aren't many people (yet), and they have free childcare (bonus!).  So with bathing-suit season right around the corner, Mama's gonna hit the gym a few times a week in preparation. 
     But that's the thing, is it REALLY right around the corner?  It's been so nice here that it seems like a little glimmer of hope, telling us that Spring is on it's way.  Uh, attention: we're still in JANUARY.  The bulk of our snow days at school last year were in February.  So even though coldness is still in our near future, we sure enjoyed today. 
     After the fitness center, we ate at one of our new favorite restaurants the, "Twisted Crepe."  If you're in the Asheville area, it's a great place to eat, and is definitely food that you can't just get anywhere.  Well, FRANCE, maybe, but if you don't want to travel that far, downtown Asheville has you covered. 
     When we got home, Marcus ate and then watched Carolina beat up on NC State with Daddy.  As soon as we smelled victory, Marcus and I went on a nice walk to enjoy the fresh air and Mark washed the car as well as changed the oil in his truck. 
     All that before 4pm?  That aint bad. :)

Carolina haters need not comment. :)

We just love those big blue eyes!
