Return to Blog

So I haven't blogged in forever. I have been so busy with well, everything. I absolutely hate junior high and thus it makes it even harder to be a working mom, something that I never ever wanted to be. I cherish my time at home, I am not one of those people who feels home bound or trapped. I have the best two little boys in the world. So here I am, hoping and praying that something will change...they are growing up so fast and I don't want to miss anything else!

I love Christmas

I love Christmas time. I love my tree, I love my decorations, love Christmas music....it just makes me happy. I am so happy to have 2 weeks off coming up to spend with my boys. Did I mention that one of those little boys will be 3 this week!!!!!!!
That's right, Joel will turn 3 on Friday. Hard to believe that he is that old. He is so much fun. I miss when he was Jacob's age, but I love the child he is. His personality is so fun and I love that he and I can have real conversations. He was once my early Christmas gift....oh, another reason to love Christmas! I remember holding him and realizing with tears streaming down my face, how much God must love me to have sent his one and only son to die for me. And to truly experience Christmas, thinking of Mary holding her baby, the one who would die for me, made the season mean oh, so much more than ever before.

Sleep Well by Todd Agnew

It's okay little one
Don't dismay little one
Your just a babe
How can you be trembling
It's alright little one
He's come tonight little one
The one that you and the world have been waiting for


Sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Sleep well
Come what may
For God has come
And you must prepare the way


It's alright little one
Don't you cry little one
Your the delight of the blind and the barren
It's okay little one
He's come today little child
Enjoy the peace
It may be the calm before the storm

So sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Come what may
For God has come
And you must prepare the way

Messiah has come to save the world
And he has chosen our place in time
God has given us his son
but why must ask me for my...

Sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Sleep well
come what may
for God has come
and you must prepare the way
Send "SLEEP WELL" Ringtone to your Cell

5K

I did it! I ran my first 5K. My time was 29:59 and for the 30 degree stifling cold, dreary day, I was very proud of myself. I have been running 3.26 miles (according to mapmyrun.com) 3-4 times a week and I can say that it only took me just shy of 5 months to lose all the baby weight that I gained (somehow I always manage to gain 40 pounds in a pregnancy despite working out the whole time). I am back in all my clothes and even lost enough weight that the dress I ordered for Mike and Wendie's wedding was falling off of me by the time the wedding rolled around. For the record....I worked hard. I am not that girl who just has baby weight fall of. I worked incredibly hard, running at 6 a.m. sometimes in the dark and working out at 5:30 in the morning too. There is another 5K this weekend that I wish I could run, but Justin has a campout with the teens....I think I am hooked.
