Too much

That is what we have going on in our lives.

Between soccer, girl scouts, church, and family we have so much going on.  It's been over a year since I posted.  Honestly I forgot I had a blog.  I do good to check in with facebook and other message boards. 

So here is to a new start..... a new year... and a new mindset.  I am determined to make more time for family time.  Which means I am using Flylady's routines to get the house clean so we can have family time.  I also need to make more time for myself.  I realized last month that if I don't take care of myself, I won't be here to enjoy my family.... this is all thanks to a small scare with my health.  So now I am working on making sure we stay healthy.

Busy life

Yes that is waht I have.... a very busy life. It's Dec 21 and this is the first time I have blogged since Aug.

Family, school, girl scouts, soccer, etc keeps me running almost non stop.

At least it is now Christmas break and I can get some things done.... like clean the house, wrap gifts, some baking.

Back to school

It's back to school time again and I am exhausted! I can't sseem to get anything done at home because of working and then I am exhausted from having to get up early. Kaitlyn started school last week and has already come home with a virus. She missed her second day of school because of running a fever.

I am hoping that I can get us in a routine this week... otherwise my house will show how neglected it can be during the week.

One week!

That is how long until I get to meet some of my best friends. Yes, you heard me... meet my best friends. The wonderful ladies I get to meet in a week are some of my best friends, and I have never personally met them.

I am so excited to be able to finally get to see these wonderful ladies in person. Although someone might want to warn the hotel that we are coming. LOL!

Errands and Will

On Monday I had several errands to run. I told Will that we needed to go do some errands. He looked at me with this sweet look on his face and said ok.... I want to go see erin. Then he looked up at me and asked "mommy, who is erin?"

Today we were leaving my mom's house with the kids, telling them we needed to get going and do our errands. Will again said he wanted to go see erin.

I guess I can see how he got errands and Erin confused. But he was so cute saying it!

The little witches.....

AKA my kids. HAHA!

My two wonderful kids came out of the storage room dressed up as witches. Yes you heard me... Kaitlyn and Will were dressed as witches.

They just decided they want to play outside, but first they have to change into their clothes. Will took off his dress and was standing there in his underwear. He looked so cute trying to find his clothes. Then Kaitlyn changed to play outside.

Wonder what they will find to play with now.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is a wonderful day! Five years ago today I married my soul mate! It was a wonderful day and went almost exactly like I planned it.

We started the day off with setting up the chairs. Don and Philip got all the chairs lined up. The ferns were in place and we were just waiting for Don to bring in the fire truck. Yes, we were getting married in front of a fire truck. What can I say, it's who we are. Don left my parents house to get ready, and I started getting ready. I went to have my hair done and ran into Walmart to pick up a last minute item. While standing in line to check out, I could see the huge black cloud outside. I needed to get home to get ready for the wedding, but the cashier was bugging the guy in front of me. They knew each other and she knew he was on a motorcycle. I finally got out of there and then back to my parents house. I sat in the living room watching the weather channel to see this huge storm heading for us. Then I looked outside to watch the rain come down on my wedding day. Everything was to be outside at my parents house and it was raining :( . I hadn't seen it rain that hard in a while, but it was not what I wanted.

I lost track of time watching the rain, but finally went into my parents room to get ready. While I was getting ready, my dad was outside in the drizzle getting the chairs. He then dried off every chair and moved them into the garage of their house. The plan was that if it rained, we would get married in the garage. Yes you heard me..... the garage. My parents had just built the house and moved in so the garage was empty.

I forgot several things that day... like putting the guest registry out... it got put out after the wedding. And I failed to get some pictures, but that is all in the past now.

The wedding was beautiful! The only flowers used were what my sister-in-law (my matron of honor), Kaitlyn (my flower girl), and myself carried. I was escorted down the aisle (meaning out the back door, down the sidewalk, and into the garage by my wonderful daughter and my nephew. Don and I wrote our vows (or I should say that I found them in a book and fell in love with them). It was perfect!!!
