Catch-Up...

So, this week has been so busy that I haven't had time to post from last weekend....not to mention missing Not-Me-Monday and Wordless Wednesday (again)! Here's a catch-up from all the week...last weekend we went to Orlando and Universal for my birthday. Logan was suppose to join us but then decided to go to his dad's for the weekend so I thought that was ok and fine and would give me and Chris some alone time too. So, on Friday after t-ball practice Logan calls and wants to come home...we're in Palm Coast so after debating and asking Logan what he wanted to, he wanted to go Mr. Rays & Mrs. Gina's (Chris's parents) to be with Riley. Problem solved...I would like to add by asking don't you just love when people think they just know the truth and everything that goes along with it..yeah me too it's like they try to be another mother and when you try to explain what really happened and the truth about the situation...they don't even listen because they know THEY are RIGHT and THEY KNOW what REALLY happened....yeah I love it too happens to me ALL the time! Back to the weekend..we had alot of fun we missed having Logan with us because he would have had a blast but we still enjoyed ourselves. After we returned home Riley's cold had stayed the same so no big deal, the next night she was really stopped up so off to the doctor. The doctor said that she was clear in the lungs and ears so nothing they could do, just to give it a few days. Yesterday she was still stopped up so I made another appointment *just had a feeling* so after checking her out lungs still clear, right ear is clear...left ear INFECTION! Riley finally got some antibiotics to take so hopefully within a couple days she'll be all cleared up. She hasn't been fussy with it or even running a fever so mother intuition was right again:) We have also spent the week trying to get everything boxed up that we can and trying to get as much done as possible so when moving day arrives we don't have too much confusion. I'm still trying to get my bag tag done that Amy T gave me and I promise to have it posted by the end of the weekend! As for now, off to try and get stuff done around this house...Here's some pics from the weekend:)

Go Shorty It's Your Birthday...

Today I am turning 26 and i'm starting to feel so old..lol! I look back to when I was in high school and how much fun it was and how we had nothing to worry about, what we did worry about seems so small in comparison to what worries we have today. When I was younger my dad would always tell me he would give anything to just be back in school and I thought he was CRAZY, I do wish for those care-free days again but I am so happy with where i'm at in life right now and with my family that I wouldn't trade them for anything...even if it was to go back to those worry free days. I have the best husband in the world and two of the greatest blessings in my life, they are the reason for my living and breathing everyday! So, as I turn 26 today I look forward to 30 and then 40 and *lil cringe* 50:) I have learned many lessons in my life and I look forward to those to be learned in my future. Oh I almost forgot my birthday present....my husband bought me some diamond earrings for my birthday and they are beautiful i'll post a picture of them. I was wanting a pair to stay in my second holes and he picked a perfect pair, they are white gold princess cut solitaires and I LOVE THEM! I told you I have a wonderful husband:) Now off to celebrate turning 26!

Chillin' Like A Villain...

Wednesday while I was feeding Riley her oatmeal she proceeded to lift up her leg and rest her arm on it like she was loungin' and just relaxing without a care in the world. She really doesn't have a care in the world but just for this sake indulge with me:) I thought she looked so cute that I had to get a picture so here is what was suppose to be my Wordless Wednesday post but as you can see did not make it. Here's Riley in her relaxed mood...

Sucha Slacker...

I love my blogging but lately I have been slacking...I find myself wanting to post but just run outta time and energy by the end of the day that I don't ever get around to it. So, since I have been up since 4:00 this morning with my sick baby who now has the cold everyone else caught I decided it was time for updates. Logan started t-ball this past week and had his first official day of practice on Tues. he LOVED it, he did not stop beaming the whole time! Riley is growing like a weed but like I said has caught this awful cold that seems to be going around so hopefully a lil' tender living care and she'll be over it and back to being herself. The house is near completion...countertops are the last major thing to be installed other than the appliances and those will be going in next week, we are so very excited to finally be moving in! I will try and get some pictures of the house over the weekend to put up and show the progress. We have just been enjoying and loving life and are so thankful for everything we have been blessed with. That's about all I have to update with i'll be doing a couple more post to try and catch up a lil' on my major slacking!

It Comes From The Heart...

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you and yours have a wonderful love filled day. Take this day as a reminder to show the ones you care about the most in this life just how much you love them. I am so thankful for my husband who means so much to me and has made so very happy, I Love Him with everything I have and love that I get to spend the rest of my life him. So, take a minute to think about all the ones you love in your life and be sure to tell them as much as possible! I wanted to post some lyrics to a song that I absolutly love and beleive the message it carries is so wonderful, and shows that with God in your life and marriage you can get through anything....

Love is not a place
to come and go as we please
It's a house we enter in
then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
Work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter
in a raging storm
Love is peace
in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave;
May God send angels to guard the door
No, Love is not a fight
but its something worth fighting for

To some love is a word
that they can fall into.
But when they're falling out
keeping that word is hard to do

Love is a shelter
in a raging storm
Love is peace
in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave;
May God send angels to guard the door
No, Love is not a fight
but its something worth fighting for

Love will come to save us
If we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us
but demand we give our all

Love is a shelter
in a raging storm
Love is peace
in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave;
May God send angels to guard the door
No, Love is not a fight
but its something worth fighting for.

Cause I Will Fight For You
Would You Fight For Me
It's Worth Fighting For.

Movin' On Up...

It's been a while since I posted some pictures of the house, so here are a few from about 3 weeks ago. It looks even better now...all the tile is done and the painting is going on now so hopefully only about 3 more weeks and we'll be moving in! We are so excited and can't wait:)

Wordless Wednesday...

Fireproofing...

I picked up my copy of Fireproof from LifeWay on the 27th and I couldn't wait to watch it, I kept hearing what a great movie it was. That night me and Chris watched it and loved it! It's an awesome movie...it has a great message and purpose to it. I would recommend that everyone see it, especially if your married. I know alot of the local churches around here are showing it on Sun Feb. 15th, so I encourage you if you don't buy the dvd to go watch it. It shows that by putting your faith in God and obeying him that amazing things can happen in you and around you, and if your a non-believer it can turn you into one. The movie shows that you should forget the past and look to the future and be thankful for what you have, don't dwell on the things you don't. There is a reason why God does what he does...he knows what is best for us and if we listen and put our faith in him anything is possible, because you never leave your partner esepcially in a fire!

Not Me Monday...

I am so excited to be posting again, so without haste here are things I have not done...

I did not almost go crazy not having Internet for 2 weeks, it's amazing how much you can't miss something like that:)

I did not forget that I had a load of laundry in the washer for a day, and then have to re-wash them.

I have not cooked dinner all week and not gotten take out, I know it's shocking!

I have not been walking over to the house everyday to see what else has been done, and counting down the days to move in.

Lastly, I am not thankful for my wonderful husband who has not made me so happy these past weeks, nope not one bit:)
