Playing Catch Up!

OH MY GOODNESS! It's been awhile. Too long. Where to begin?

Adam proposed to Tara! I've taken on the role of Maid of Honor EXTRAORDINAIRE/Wedding Planner. So far they're getting married on October 8, 2011 at power park in Charleston, WV. The colors are black, white, and silver. We actually have already accomplished a lot of the main things. We have the ceremony and reception venue in one! Fun and convenient, yet thrifty! ;) The bridesmaid dresses are picked out and ready to order. Tara's wedding gown is currently hanging in her room. Hair and make-up by none other than Miss Morgan Ross. Things are coming together QUITE nicely, if I do say so myself! I thought this was going to be miserable, but the bride-to-be is actually liking my ideas!

As far as the new year resolutions go, the wedding has definitely lit a fire under me ars! I joined Snap Fitness in Winfield, and I've been trying to go everyday, but sometimes there just aren't enough hours. Although it is open 24/7, with class and work some days it's just not going to happen! But I'm planning on running a couple 5k's in June and July with my friends, Sarah and Brad. I'm really excited!

Summer is right around the corner! Thank GOD! Can't wait for everyone to come home to me! I know they all miss me tons. ;) Looking forward to some baseball games, vacations, and qt with the bffs!

Stop Ghosting Yourself

Let’s be honest. Do you know anyone who isn’t busy? Probably not.  WE ARE ALL BUSY. Kids, spouses, pets, jo bs, extracurriculars, birthday parties, vacations, sick/injured family, etc. We all have full plates, chores to do, and grocery orders to pick up!  I don’t like to start a blog post with tough love, but I think it’s necessary today!  Truthfully, if this hurts your feelings, you probably need to hear it. You are not too busy to take care of yourself. I’ll say it again. YOU are NOT too busy to take care of YOURSELF. I know you. You get lunches packed and kids off to school. You work hard at your job. You go to the grocery store, the post office, work the concession stand at the ball game. You come home, help with homework, cook dinner, give baths, and do the bedtime routine. Oh then, you pick up the house. Everyone around you is taken care of and happy as can be…but where does that leave you? How do you feel? If I had to guess, I’d say you are happy that your family is happy, but s

My Secret Sauce

I think you know by now that I am pretty candid about what’s going on in my life. Consequently, I am also candid about what’s going on in the lives of those around me.  So, here’s a quick update to bring everyone up to speed who maybe haven’t watched my stories and posts as diligently as I would like...  Matt has been experiencing a lot of pain, and recently had a surgery in an attempt to relieve that pain. The jury is still out on whether or not there is improvement because, much like when you do a simple home repair, you fix one thing, 3 more pop up. He also started a new chemo this week. It has definitely felt like a super steep uphill battle the past few months, but I will go more in depth with everything another day. Logan is almost 1. He is walking, talking, and destroying constantly. I am still working from home full time. Both a blessing and a curse for many reasons. I started a thing called 75 Hard, at which I initially rolled

Happy C-Section Awareness Month!

Image
I recently learned that April is Caesarean Section awareness month. I had never given it much thought, but now, having experienced it myself, I feel the need to celebrate the c-section mamas. In movies and TV shows, there is always that beautiful birth moment - you know the one. The crying, sweaty, exhausted mama feels she can’t go on. Then someone holds her hand and gives her the encouraging speech she needs for one last push. Just then, you hear the unmistakable sound of a newborn baby crying as they place him or her on the moms chest. *cue music* Now, I don’t know if that’s really how it goes or not because I never made it there!  My doctor knew Logan was going to be a big boy, and suggested that I schedule a c-section.  I thought to myself “noooo way! (That’s scary.) You are not taking my beautiful, made-for-movies moment away from me! (Also, I’m scared.) You don’t know what I’m capable of, lady! (Petrified of that option actually.) I’ve got this!!” You guys, I didn’t have it. I di
