Almost Spring

This warm weather is wonderful! Its making me dream about Spring and Summer past times and activites! A couple of things I can't wait to do are: Go to an O's game, go to Ocean City, have picnics with Matt and the kids, eat yummy foods like funnel cakes and boardwalk fries ( I never said healthy foods!), and of course the pool and play ground with the kids! Tonight we are going to Jen and Rob's for a cook out... so I think I might just bring my funnel cake recipe with me! =) I am in charge of dessert after all.
Tomorrow we are going to Matt Sroka and Emily Thornton's wedding. Should be lots of fun! I even bought a new dress for the occasion. It's funny, a girl that I baby sat years and years ago (Heather was their main babysitter... I was back up) will be babysitting Jake and Hailey! So funny how that works out. I'm sure they will have a blast with her! We might even sneak out of the reception early to go out to dinner while we have a babysitter. We'll see... if we are having too much fun, it might be hard to leave!
Sunday we are going to Noah Love's 2nd birthday party! So it should be a busy weekend. I've been trying to finish my Bioethics paper today so that I can go out and play. =) So far so good, hopefully will be done tonight before bed. It's on Ashley X. Interesting story! I keep changing my mind on whether or not I agree with the choice the parents made. She is a 9 year old girl with extreme brain damage and functions on the level of a three month old! Her parents decided it was in her best interest for her quality of life to have a hysterectomy as well as intense hormone therapy to stunt her growth and keep her from going through things such as menstrual cycles and menopause. This also permanently stunts her growth and she will forever be 4'5" and less than 75 pounds. Of course this is a big help to her care givers since she cannot sit up or walk, and needs to be lifted quite often. But the issue is whether or not this was done for their convenience or to medically benefit her "quality of life." Google it, you will find all kinds of info on the "Ashley Treatment" or "Ashley X."
Anyway, that is what I'm up to! Hope everyone is doing good... one more week till Easter!
