I Hate Thinking of Titles...

I figured it's been forever since I last posted, to all you loyal fans (note the sarcasm- how can you be loyal if there really is nothing to be loyal to??) here is a blog just for you!

Life is wonderful! Dave is busy with studying and helping my Aunt and Uncle, working on becoming an official full time employee. He is loving it and doing very well! He will be going to Michigan, Texas and I think one other state in the next few months for classes and certifications. I'm not too thrilled about that part but I know God will get me through the lonely days without him.

I am loving the new apartment! It is certainly roomie enough for us and with having a great neighbor downstairs I can run out during nap time some days and leave the Wild Woman home sleeping. Ahhhh, bliss! I am hoping to be able to start a women's bible study soon and I'm looking forward to that. I miss the one I used to go to on Tuesday mornings but with the changes that have been made in my life and schedule it really doesn't work out too well for me to go. I'm super excited about this weekend, my grandmother is turning 80 and we are having a surprise party for her on the Eastern Shore this weekend and I convinced Davey to let us all take a long weekend at Ocean City too! Woohoo! There is lots of rain in the forecast but I DONT CARE!!!! Time away with my wonderful hubby and the kiddies is always welcome! We'll be home Sunday just in time for the Ravens game- perfect!

Aaron is in Kindergarten this year and is doing very well. He loves math and handwriting especially. We butt heads a few times and at least once a week Dave gives him the 'don't argue with your mother..." speech but over all things are good. He just turned 5 two weeks ago- I can't believe my baby is 5!!!!! It is so wonderful to see him grow up and turn into a little boy, but I do miss my baby as well. It's very bittersweet. He got a bike and is learning to ride it with training wheels for now. He look so cute with his little helmet and elbow pads on. :) (As soon as I get my photography act together I will post pics).

My Belle is basically out of the baby look and totally into the toddler look now. She is ornery as ever but sweet and wonderful at the same time! She runs every where and is anything but quiet, but she will cuddle every once in a while if I bribe her with a favorite book. She insists on doing school with us so I give her a page to color with crayons and that works well for about 2.5 seconds until she decides the crayon is a good mid-morning snack. Delicious... I'm super stoked that I finally found a pair of pink generic uggs for me to wear when she wears hers, woohoo! (Gee, I wonder where she gets her love of shoes??)

I can't believe that Christmas is about 10 weeks away! It's time for me to find the Christmas cd's and get them ready for playing! I have some gifts already purchased but that will be a short lived victory, I guarantee I'll feel like "I got so much done early, I have plenty of time...." and will be scrambling soon enough to finish up. (Why should this year be any different? :)). Our neighbor downstairs had her twins last month and they are all doing well. I have been able to get a baby fix quite often which I love and Dave does too, he's hoping it'll keep me from bugging him for more babies. We'll see. I love having such a great Christian couple downstairs. It;s nice for the security when Dave is gone and the company is nice when we just hang out. I am going to miss our afternoon walks or sitting on the swing out front while my kids play and I hold a baby but soon enough Spring will be here and we'll be back at it again. My life is ever changing and I love it! God keeps blessing us and showing us His hand at work in our lives. I almost don't worry about things now, it seems I have (for now) started to learn to just go with the flow and trust God to lead us. He has led Dave and me for the last 6 years so why should now be any different?

Well, I hear laundry, cleaning and packing calling my name! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

xoxo
