I Am Aware

That I suck. Thanks Mimi for the reminder. (-;

Um, too much to update? I guess I will give it the old college try.

December was crazy. After about the 16th or so there was a lot of life to live.

We made a trek for an out of town wedding. Emmaline played the role of flower girl so we had to be there for the rehearsal as well. Made for a long weekend vacation. The wedding was gorgeous (a cousin got married and now we have another chick in the family!) and Emma did her job well. The kids had fun staying in a hotel and it was nice to take a break from every day life. It was crazy, but fun! Emma also had to go get her hair done at the salon and she was not a fan. But she put on her big girl panties and did great.

After that we ran right into Christmas and family celebrations. We had a lovely holiday with all the people that we love. Christmas Eve was spent as usual with the in-law side of our family. Christmas morning was spent at home just us and Christmas Day was spent with my side of our family. It was a good time.

Do you believe I made them sit for a picture before opening gifts?

Mark had a lot of days off the last three weeks of the year. It was a great way to end our year as a family. Right before tax season hits and time together becomes even more precious.

This is a new year. New goals are on the horizon. I have nothing to base this on.....but for some reason my gut is telling me this: this is the year God will show His face to us in ways we could not imagine. For my family anyway, this is the year that we see His face like we have never seen it before. He is already putting it all in motion.

Hold on tight, because He is going to take us for the ride of our lives. And I for one can not wait...

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
