So I read this other women's blog thingy today and she had posted this list and wrote a little something about women dealing with stress. Some of the things may sound a little corny but, for the most part, it's not a horrible list. I feel like I need a little work in the "stress department". I never had an issue w/ it and now I feel like my stomach's always aching over something that probably doesn't even really matter all that much. I guess change is still in the air over here....I'm just not all that sure where to start.... | | |
| Feeling some change coming on....not quite sure what it is yet but you know that feeling, right? The one where everything in your world starts to feel "old" and you almost feel like you do nothing all day, every day. But you realllllly want to be doing something? Craving something new and bigger. Yah, that's how I'm feeling right now....today. It's how I've felt for about 2 months. I can't wait to see the things and the people the God is going to bring into our life here. Or where He's going to bring us to become part of someone else's life. I'm down for whatever. Just being patient, loving God, loving people and waiting... | | |
| Today mark's our 7 year anniversary. 7 years? It feels like it's been at least 15 :) In 7 years we've managed to have 4 beautiful, healthy, and very active children, pack up and move our home 5 times, go through 4 cars (now working on car numbers 5 and 6), and not go on a vacation involving children...even if it's just 2 nights away. We've also managed to stay married. My pastor has been known to say that marriage can be the closest thing to heaven on earth...or hell :). And that's no joke. Jon and I have also had our fair share of struggles during these 7 years. But I'm glad. I love my husband. He's my favorite and God's best for me. He works hard for me. He takes care of me. He sacrifices for me. He laughs with me (and at me :). He pushes me and challenges me. He prays for me. He sings to me. He teaches me and learns with me...
(and let it be known that we're also complete dorks, perfect for each other :) | | |
| I'm going to miss this...
I know, I know...it's been some time since I've updated. We're all working into our new schedule over here since school started and I must say, it's going better than I thought it was going to go. See, Liv's in 1st grade now so she needs to be up, dressed, fed and at the bus stop by 8am. Corbin's in the afternoon kindergarten class so his bus picks him up at noon. They both get out at 3 and I pick them up because if they took the bus home they wouldn't actually get home until close to 4 (which is a ridiculously long time for a 5 year old to sit on a bus every single day). So, hectic? Yes, a little but it seems to be working. As long as I get myself up and showered on time, we're good :).
Olivia (and yes, she completely put together her outfit all by herself. I gave her free reign in Target and that's what she came back w/ :)

| A few days again Miss Amelia Mae turned 6 months old. I'm looking forward to her getting to be a little more mobile...she's already talking a ton (in her own little language), rolling around everywhere, not quite sitting up but she's working on it. She did great at her 6 month check up. She's only weighing in at about 13lbs so they're keeping an eye on that (because of her heart) but since she's doing good in every other area (eating well and all that) her size isn't really an issue. She's just a peanut :)
We're trying to get everything ready for school this coming Thursday. I don't know why they always seem to start on a Thursday...? I think we've got everything we need. I just ned to hit up the grocery store one more time for juice boxes and some snacks. So I think we're good. We did the dentist a few weeks ago and then again the other day because Olivia needed a filling. She had a cavity that (even tho she brushes/flosses twice a day) just got real deep...like all the way to the nerve. So we went in thinking she was just getting a small filling and ended up having a partial root canal and the tooth capped. Poor thing. But I guess I'd rather just have it fixed now. She also lost another tooth...that's 4 now, lol. She's seriously going to be starting school w/ no teeth :) It's cute tho and she talks w/ a lisp cause there's no teeth in the front of her mouth...I love it :).
