Happy Tuesday, y'all!</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
So this is a quick post, but in the effort of accountability for my "phone plan" and to give an update I figured this is necessary.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
It's been a week now and I have really done well. This weekend I slipping back into old habits of scrolling here and there but caught myself and was able to walk away from the phone. Who knew this would be such a challenge?? If you don't think you're that connected to your phone, try being super conscious of your phone use and find out!! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I will say, I LOVE not being on my phone during the day. Consistenly I find that my attitude is better, my patience with my kids increases, my involvement in their activities certainly increases, and I just feel like a better mom.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
If you don't have kids then you might think the phone thing isn't a big deal (and maybe it isn't), but let me leave you with this thought. Are you missing out on other relationships by being distracted by social media? Maybe connecting more with your spouse instead of both mindlessly playing or scrollin on your phone at night? Are you missing out on connecting better with friends? Or maybe you're missing out on connecting with God who longs for a deeper relationship with us always? </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I know all of those hit me on some level. All of those relationships mean so much more than getting caught up on everyone else's daily thoughs. On a side note, my hubby and I did download a game on our phones this week (which is so not me) but we compete together on our phones and hey, I'll take anything that'll give us another way to connect! So that's my phone exception ;)</center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I have begun a new project called "BE PRESENT". </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is something that just came to me the other night as I was taking a shower (because don't all epiphanies happen during the shower when you finally get alone time?). I was reviewing my day and thinking about a blog post from a friend about how she traded in her iPhone for a flip phone. Yes, a flip phone!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So at first like most I was like...what?? Does anyone besides grandparents use flip phones? But the more I read, the more I understood. She admittedly talked about how her phone became such a distraction. It kept her from being present with her kids, it was the reason she found herself fussing at kids as they bothered her while she was mindlessly scrolling on social media, and it ultimately became an addiction. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I couldn't shake her post in the back of my mind and as I reviewed my day, I realized my phone was doing the same thing. In the effort to not ditch the iPhone, but knowing something needed to change, I started a plan. Really more, a list of phone rules for myself that I am committed to following.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before I go into my plan, let me further explain why I personlly needed this. I realized I spend a rediculous amount of time mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat all throughout my day. This may not be so bad except for the fact that I am a stay at home mom. This wasn't always the case either (the stay at home mom gig). I used to leave my daughter home with a sitter while I worked all day, but instead our family has made sacrified and I am blessed to be home with my two beautiful babies all day, every day. Yes, not everyday is super fun and not everyday do I see rainbows and butterflies feeling delighted to do laundry, dishes, clean up messes, change diapers, etc. BUT I am blessed to be the biggest influence in their young lives and experience their day to day WITH them.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The thing is...I wasn't really spending my days WITH them like I wanted. Yes I was physically there and sometimes present, but not fully present like I know I am called to be and like they need me to be. And I officially beacme fed up with that. I found myself irritated when I was scrolling and they needed juice or kept crawling on me, interrupting some article I was trying to read that someone reposted. It's not pretty and I'm not proud, so I decided NO MORE.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My plan?</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">PUT THE PHONE DOWN!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My rules?</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When my kids are awake, the phone is down.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Exceptions are phone calls (which are rare and either with my parents or people I am helping with my Advocare business). Other exceptions, to reply to a quick text, which unless I initiate I realized I don't get many of. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If it's nap time and both are down (again rare) then I can pick it up and scroll or if it's late night.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a day of this plan, I realized tonight as I began to scroll through today's updates I didn't miss it. I felt sooooooo free! The minute I began to scroll I felt a little suffocated.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So to reflect on day 1, it was a great day. After churc and before a family eveing BBQ I played with my kids, really played. I was there, fully and soaking in their laughs, silliness, and just them as little people. My baby napped while I played with my 3 year old, doing ABCmouse, coloring, and just enjoying her.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was a kinder momma, a more patient momma, and it felt amazing.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will do more of this and will continue to follow this plan. I need it, and my family needs it. I am going to LOVE this new normal.</span></center>

Hello All! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I have been gone from this blog for far far too long. In fact, in my last post I announced we were expecting a son and fast forward to today and that little boy is 13 months old! So clearly...time flies and I have really stepped away. BUT...</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm back!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The days only get busier when you have two kiddos instead of one, but I find the need to blog more than ever. As a stay at home mom, I'm either talking to littles all day or myself, so maybe this can be a good outlet also?</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I originally started this blog to chronicle our newly married life and now my goal is for it to become a scrapbook of our goings on as a family, as well as a journal of the real-ness of our daily life. Too often we only showcase the good days, sweet moments, and fun things, but life with kids isn't always those things.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I LOVE being home with my babies and wouldn't trade a second of it! My goal is to stay more consistent with this (for once) so that those who follow us from afar can keep up better wth us. I also want this to be my outlet for whatever goes through my brain since we all know "mom brain" is something fierce and if I do not write down what's going on, I may never remember it!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Pictures of our sweet family and a quick recap since my hiatus will be in the next post! O and also working on updating the blog as a whole and those changes will be coming too!</center>
<center>

So my last post briefly updated y'all on the craziness of life but we have more craziness ahead as...</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
WE'RE EXPECTING BABY #2!!!</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
We are beyond thrilled to be expanding our family and we're actually 18 weeks along at this point! Shows how often I post! HA! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
To make life more exciting...</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
We're due in January and so far this pregnancy has been much like the last...smooth and staying small (people don't believe I'm 18 weeks at all). I was SUPER "blah" the first trimester...meaning, I just felt crummy all the time...so not only fighting exhaustion but little appetite most of the day. Once we hit 2nd trimester my body jumped back into energy momma mode and hungry momma mode too! O yeah and we moved in July so that was some fun added stress, but so grateful to God for the fact that we are living in Houston and much closer to family now.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
This summer has flown by and we are just about to celebrate our sweet girl's 2nd birthday (WHAT?!?!!) on Sunday. I cannot believe it! So that's our big news for now and here's some great pics for y'all to enjoy!</center>

O my goodness! It has been beyond too long...in fact, I wrote this post back in May and never published it! Life with a baby (who's now a toddler seems to get crazier by the minute) and so much has changed in the last year that I felt the need to update! Also I swear I'm going to get better at posting more often!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So let's see...</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Since my last post, I no longer work full time away from home and my sweet girl, my husband got accepted into an amazing engineering program, I got into grad school, AND our sweet girl turned 1!!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
It was almost this time last year that an amazing opportunity fell into our laps that changed so much for us. To keep it brief (because I will elaborate in another post), this opportunity helped me lose that last 5 lbs of baby weight, lose 10 inches over my body in 3 weeks, give me amazing energy, and most importantly...bring me home from my full-time underpaid job to work from home and spend my days with our baby! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
My husband started in an engineering program at that same time I started grad school, so we've both finished an intense year of school and did great! On to summer school for me! 'Cuz who needs a break, really?</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Our baby not only turned 1, but it VERY quickly approaching 2! She does SO MUCH now! Walks, talks (still limited words), signs the word "more", LOVES Frozen, and has decided her favorite food is donuts. She has the sweetest little heart! Loves to help mommy with anything and is incredibly fearless...I'm talking climbing, jumping, etc. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This year was Andrew's first Father's Day! The way he loves and cares for our sweet girl is such a blessing to me. The bond these two have is so sweet to watch. She's in every way a daddy's girl and I'm pretty sure she's got him wrapped around her tiny fingers. For those of you who don't know, Andrew stays home with Samantha everyday while I go to work. As crummy as it is to not be the one home with her everyday, I'm blessed beyond belief to have him home with her. Since we made the transition to him staying home with her, my house is messier, laundry piles up a little more, but gosh is that baby loved! It's the best knowing she is in good hands all day and in the comfort of our home! Andrew is a great dad who's good at getting baby smiles, giving medicine, cuddling, and keeping her well! I am blessed to share this journey of parenting with him! </span></center>

The relationship I have with him is one I see with those two cuties in the pictures above! So much of me is exactly like him and I'm so grateful for that! I have always been and will always be a "daddy's girl". It's hard living so far away but face time and phone calls make life much better! My dad is my cheerleader, my dream encourager, and forever owns a piece of my heart! He's also a fantastic "Papi" to our girl! Sometimes when she's sleeping I swear she looks just like him...and I love that! I'm blessed to have these dads in my life!!</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dear Sam,</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Words cannot explain how honored I am to be your mom. You are truly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I am beyond blessed to call you my daughter. You are every bit a piece of me and daddy combined, with some of your own sweet qualities of course. You're smart, happy (90% of the time), relaxed, easy-going, patient, and beautiful! Just to name a few things about you ;) I love your laugh, your gummy smile, the way your eyes light up when I walk in the door from work or when you see daddy come in the room, the pleasure you get from sucking those little piggies of yours, and even the way you love on your kitty (although we're still working on learning "gentle")! One of my favorite times of day is when you first wake yourself up, just about an hour before I have to get up for work..and I carry you into our room, where you eat and snuggle back asleep with me and daddy. It's so still and peaceful and wonderful. I love that you are apart of this little family of ours. You truly identify with your name, "JOY". Your heart is full of it and you have brought it to our lives! We love you Sammy Joy, "Buggy", Sam Sam, little love, precious, Joy Joy...Samantha :) We relish in everyday with you, watching you grow, learn, and develop. Daddy and I will always love you, little lady and you'll always be our baby :)</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Don't let this post scare you! I was extremely blessed to have a very smooth labor and delivery!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
Because we decided to induce, Andrew and I spent the night in the hospital where they gave me cytotek to help prep my body for labor. Once we decided to induce, I very realized that telling people our plans wasn't a good idea...just like everything else in pregnancy and baby related, people have their own opinions and people quickly let us know their feelings on induction...so with very few friends and family knowing, we headed to the hospital on Thursday night (August 29th). With our bags packed, Whatburger consumed, and video camera on, we had a calm check in at the hospital.</span></center>

I slept poorly that night mainly because of nerves and my poor hubby was freezing. We only brought a small fleece blanket and weren't prepared for the cold of the hospital (of course I was just fine!). Friday morning they checked me again and I had made NO progress, so they started the Pitocin...o the pitocin...</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
As anyone can imagine, labor started pretty much right away at that point but still moved slowly..I had contraction for about 2 hours and then my doctor showed up to check me. At that point I was dialted a whole 2 cm...she offered the epidural and boy did I jump at the chance! </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
Immediately she broke my water and about 30 minutes later, the anesthesiologist showed up to give me the epidural. That was probably the worst of it out of the whole experience...having to be really still while contracting and leaking water (sorry for the TMI). Once my body took the meds, it was smooth sailing!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
I spent the day in bed, drinking juice, napping, and watching tv (sports center, gilmore girls, the Kardashians) and Andrew napped in his little bed and played on the iPad. Since I couldn't feel anything they quickly upped the pitocin and at 3:30pm we started pushing. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
15 minutes later (that's right!) our beautiful baby girl was born!</span></center>

So that's our little love's introduction the blog world! The worst part of the whole experience was getting my initial IV (I hate needles!) and taking the epidural tape off my back...I'm so glad I can say that was the worst pain of everything! We were visited by a few family members and friends in the hospital and within a few days we were home! God completely blessed me with a smooth pregnancy, smooth labor & delivery, a great labor coach (my sweet husband), and a beautiful laid back little girl!</span></center>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once again, I have returned from a very long blogging hiatus. My excuses for being gone? Being pregant, being tired, being busy, having a newborn, enjoying every bit of maternity leave and focusing solely on my precious daughter, being busy back at work, the holidays, etc...yep, I've got tons of valid reasons but I'm VERY ready to get back! I've missed recording the daily events (however uneventufl they may seem) of our life. Especially with an infant, there is so much I want to remember and share so I'm jumping back in!</span></div>

Where to begin?</span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
O yeah! I had a baby! Last time I blogged, I was 6 months pregnant! So I'll start there...</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
I had a beautiful pregnancy by the grace of God (yes I know the next one doesn't promise to be at all the same, but I'm rejoicing for this one!). I felt great, had energy, worked out a lot, and worked til the day she came. The summer was spent VERY busy at work, working out at 5am during the week with my cousin, and constantly growing.. Here's some pictures to break up all the info!</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ahhhh it's finally Friday & I couldn't be more ready! Here's my lovely letters for today!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Dear Friday</strong>, you've been good so far. Let's keep it up! Today you marked 22 weeks of pregnancy, there was Spring fling luncheon at work (but off site!), I got a starbucks, and tonight I get to see my mom after two long months! <strong>Dear husband, </strong>you're great, bottom line. You know me better than anyone else on this plant and your patience, kindness, and love for me are truly something else. Thank you for our sweet date last night! Sharing my 1st Jurassic Park experience with you was great! (Yes, I never saw it as a child. No, I don't regret it. Those dinos are scary stuff!) <strong>Dear sweet baby girl, </strong>I love you so much. I love your sweet little kicks throughout the day, and I love that in 18 weeks (roughly), I'll be your mom officially! <strong>Dear Macy, </strong>I promise to do my best to not neglect you once your sister (haha yes, sister) is here! You'll always be my silly fur-baby. <strong>Dear God, </strong>thank you for being the one who holds our future in your hands. So much hangs in the balance right now as we wait on phone calls, timelines, and meetings. Thank you for having plans that are perfect for my life and for being the ultimate planner. <strong>Dear weekend plans, </strong>you continue to stress me out. I've come to the realization that I will just never please everyone...and it stinks. (I'm a huge people pleaser!) Someone will always be let down by me...and this pregnant girl, can't handle the stress of that. It's literally brought me to tears. <strong>Dear people, </strong>(yes people in general) when I share something like, "I love feeling her kick during the day", I don't appreciate responses like "just wait till she's kicking your ribs" or "you say that now, just wait". This is just an example, but it seems like people enjoy taking your moments of joy away...I know they don't mean to, and I know I'm more sensitive now, but I don't like it. Why rob me of the sweet joy of feeling my little girl move around? Random, but I needed to say that. <strong>Dear husband</strong>, our trip in the Target baby section was hilarious and I'll never forget this conversation:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>A:</strong>Why are there so many car seats of different sizes?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Me</strong>: Because they stay in a car seat until like 70lbs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>A:</strong> No way. So my 5th grader is gonna be in a car seat? So we have to buy more than one?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Me:</strong> Yeah, we buy one for when they're an infant and one when they're a toddler.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>A:</strong> Then let's go ahead and get this big one. It's adjustable down to really small.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Me:</strong> So when I take her out in public, I'm gonna have to lug around a big chair basically? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">*we bust out laughing"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">O the things we have ahead of us. I love that we are on this journey together! Love you baby! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">- the energy I have had to knockout solid workout this week! I'm doing good about not pushing myself too hard and watching my heart rate with my heart rate monitor, but I tuly love the feeling after a workout! And judging from peanut's movements when I'm done, she does too!</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On another note (and maybe this is pregnant me needing a moment to vent), here's something I'm <strong>NOT</strong> loving this week:</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">-people telling me 1.) they still don't believe I'm pregnant 2.) "wow, I still can't see it yet!" 3.) "how far along are you? wow, I would have said 3 months"...etc etc. Get the picture? I read an article the other day saying that pregnant women don't want to be told they are too big OR too small...it's getting old to me. Yes, I'm grateful not to be big yet, mostly because I'll be pregnant almost the entire summer, so I can wait. But to hear I still don't look pregnant, when I feel her move all the time, when some of my pants don't fit, etc, is not a great feeling either. Also, FYI, when you are having your first baby, you're physically fit, and you're tall, there's a solid chance you won't pop right away...ok sorry, thanks for bearing with me!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">An alternative would be "Wow, you look great!" "Pregnancy suits you!" "You're doing so great with working out and staying healthy"...just FYI. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Back to what I'm <strong>LOVING..</strong></span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">-my Husband! (saved the best for last!) Poor guy goes through the ringer some days with this pregnancy, or so it feels. (although he has said overall, I've definitely been low key compared to stories he has heard). He does his best to guess what I'm hungry for, read my emotions, etc. More than anything, he's been a great rock. He lets me have my moments where I just need a good cry. He's going to be a great dad. He talks to our sweet girl everyday and I LOVE it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Dear Friday, </strong>it is so good to see you again! I am VERY ready for another weekend at home, catching up on house stuff, and attacking our spare bedroom which desperately needs some organization. <strong>Dear husband, </strong>what a crazy ride we are on right now! I feel like the weeks continue to fly by and yet here we are with 1000 plans ahead and a few big ones we are hoping God blesses and helps fall into place! I'm so glad to be on this journey with you! <strong>Dear baby Hahn,</strong> this is your very first letter! You are at 20 weeks today and measuring the size of a banana! I love you so much already, I can't even believe it! I also completely love the name we have for you (her name is a surprise for when she gets here!). I can't believe in just another 20-ish weeks you will be here! <strong>Dear Texas weather,</strong> thank you for being chilly this week! I am greatly enjoying any and all cold fronts we have until the summer heat arrives (and never leaves...). Especially considering I'm due at the end of August! I'll take all the relief I can get! <strong>Dear Macy, </strong>my sweet fur baby, thank you for continuing to be an adorable sweet cat! The fact that you genuinely were intrigued with the dogs running on tv this week was absolutely hilarious. <strong>Dear husband,</strong> I just want you to know how proud I am of you! For so many things! God's got great plans for you! I love that this week we are resting in that hope :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy Wednesday Blog World! I cannot believe it's been 4 months since my last post! Maybe once I explain how the last 4 months have gone, you'll understand...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">...Let's go back a ways:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The last time I blogged, Christmas was fast approaching, I was just starting a new job and it seemed like once January hit, we'd be able to relax for a while...yeah, that didn't happen..at all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To save you from a long blog post of playing catch up, I wanted to include a lot of pictures to recap since December. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>First of all</strong>, Christmas was great! Andrew battled a nasty cold almost the entire time, but we had such a great time with all of his family, as well as most of mine (still missed the parents and brother!) We took lots of pictures, made lots of great memories, and really enjoyed ourselves. Andrew and I even brought Macy along for our week long stay in Houston. I get most people might bring their dog, but not a cat, but she's our baby and a week was just too long to leave her! She had a great time at my grandma's house and my family fell in love with her on Christmas Day when everyone came over. Here's some pictures to recap our wonderful Christmas!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ok that all was all pretty standard Christmas fun and great memories! Well, this is where the craziness begins...it was the Friday before New Years (December 30th) and my sister in law were chatting in my in-laws living room, the rest of the girls (sis in laws and mother in law) were throughout the house, the nephews were playing, and the guys were helping their grandma with a project at her house...my sister in law and I were both joking about how we were "late". I figured it was no big deal for me because of my low-ish body weight and the fact that I workout so much. On the fly and because we were kind of bored, we decided it would be fun to go get some pregnancy tests and ice cream (thinking it was PMS and why not?)...so we did...we got home, she took her test, said "I'm good! You're turn" and I took my test...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next thing I know, I'm shaking slightly from nerves (thought that was weird) and my stick...didn't look like hers...yep! that's right! within minutes there was shock, hugs, and screaming! The boys came home shortly after, and all the sudden, his whole family new and we were still blown away!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Of course, me being well, me...I took like 5 tests that weekend just to make sure and I even got to tell my mom in person because she was in town visiting for New Year's!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy Friday everyone! I cann't believe it's been two weeks since my last post!! My only excuse is that with the transition into a new job, my normal routines and days have been thrown off, but I'm once again beginning to settle back into normalcy...so in keeping with the "usual" Friday routine, here's my letters! </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <strong>Dear Friday, </strong>so far you have been a great day! I got in my early morning workout, the hubs won tickets on the radio AND was on the radio (so cool!), I grabbed a Starbucks before work, AND the winter banquet (our office Christmas party!) is tonight! <strong>Dear new job, </strong>you are such a blessing and I like to call you an early Christmas gift! The people I work with are super friendly and inclusive and I LOVE everything that I am learning! Everyday in this office is different and I find that fascinating! <strong>Dear Macy, </strong>I'm glad you are a fan of our Christmas tree (and it's ornaments), I just wish you would leave the tree skirt alone. I get it's fun like helping me make the bed, but dive bombing it everytime I fix it, is starting to get...old. Good thing you're so cute!! <strong>Dear friends, </strong>I'm sorry if any of you have felt neglected this past two weeks...I'm so off my normal routine with the new job that it's taken me time to get back into the swing of things, but I promise, I'll resume normalcy soon!! <strong>Dear family, </strong>I miss y'all like crazy! The thought of not spending Christmas with you is still utterly devastating to me, despite much prayer and effort...I guess new fazes of life come with their own challenges...<strong>Dear mom, </strong>I'm beyond thrilled that AFTER Christmas I WILL be seeing you!! <strong>Dear husband, </strong>thank you for your constant patience with me in every area of our life, especially with me during this upcoming Christmas season. I know I haven't been easy, much less kind...you're so patient and I'm so blessed that you're mine! I also can't wait for our "date" tonight and for you to meet all my sweet co-workers! <strong>Dear blog, </strong>you will be getting some good attention real soon!! </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">First of all, I cannot believe it's been over a week since my last post! Last week I kept putting off writing, then Thanksgiving rolled around, then Black Friday, then the weekend, then Monday, and now well, here we are! </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">While I'd like to post about Thanksgiving and this past weekend, most of my pictures are still on my camera so that post may come later today! For now I'll say, we had a fabulous Thanksgiving, saw A LOT of family (on both sides), ate wonderful food, and got A LOT of Christmas shopping done! (I think the bug to shop just bit me and now as we enter December almost ALL of it is done! Praise God!)</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.applesofgoldblog.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" title="Apples of Gold"><img alt="Apples of Gold" src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c270/Beck777/ApplesofGoldLetsBeRealbutton-1.jpg" style="border: currentColor;" /></a></div>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now onto what I really want to share today...</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </center>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today is a special day because it's my last day at my current job. It feels like one of those school days right before a holiday where your mind is everywhere but where you are and you're just itching to be done. Today I broought in brownies for everyone in the office and even tins of cookies for some of the girls I've really connected with over the last 6 months.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Leaving this job is a good thing because tomorrow I embark on a new job! It's not just any job either, it's a job that truly marks the beginning of a career and more than that, it's a job that I truly believe God has put on my heart! Now that's an AMAZING feeling!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To back track a little...I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (Eduction) this past summer. My intended goal (and maybe later down the road) was to pursue a career in speech pathology starting with applying to grad school next year. When I graduated, I figured I would stay at my job (doing office work) for the next few years while in grad school. Well, a few months ago I felt like God began to put the idea of advising on my heart. It was something I had never really thought about before, but the more I thought about it, the more I loved it. Here I had a degree in education and I could actually be doing something that makes a difference! After applying for maybe 30 advising positions, God totally opened the right doors for the right position for me! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I truly have to attribute this new position solely to God because the process of applying, interviewing, 2nd interviews, phone interviews, etc is overwhelming. I mean hundreds of people apply and the odds are definitely not in your favor (thank you Hunger Games!). I had family and friends praying hard for me because they knew that I wanted this position to help students, offer hope and guidance, be an encourager, and because I've been there I can completely relate! I am so excited for tomorrow because I am part of an advising team with extremely welcoming women who share my heart for this job! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It seems so rare nowadays to be given the chance to do something you enjoy or have a heart for and I'm not taken one ounce of this opportunity for granted! God was so good to share this chance with me and I'm excited to see what the future holds!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All I can say over and over since I was offered the position is GOD IS SO GOOD!! and it is so TRUE!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thanks for sharing in my joy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I leave you with a pic of my fav little girl helping me unpack this past weekend!</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Good morning!! I'm enjoying this amazing Texas cold front on this fabulous Tuesday...o except for the fact that my hands are freezing and I thought I might die when I walked out to my car at 6am to head to the gym (now that's committment!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So today I'm linking up with </span><a href="http://nichollvincent.blogspot.com/2012/11/fact-is.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nicholl @ The Chiffon Diary</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> for "Fact Is" Tuesday! This should be fun!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>this whole week is supposed to range from the 40s-60s and while I'm excited, it makes me realize just how much my blood has thinned since moving to Texas...I swear I'm a New Englander!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>I'm still ending up with too many left over calories at the end of the day...I'm like a calorie hoarder...I basically eat skimpy most of the day (so I can snack after work or whatever) then after dinner (which is almost always super low cal) I still have like 400 hundred left...= me eating random stupid food at night to hit my target and a nice lecture from the hubs "You need to be at 1000 before dinner" "You told me 800"..."why are you leaving 600 for the end of the day? that's too much"...o well, I'll keep trying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>My body is officially used to waking up at 5:30am...it does it now without an alarm (today was an exception because our house was freezing so it was hard to leave our cozy bed!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact:</strong> I just realized on Sunday that my first payment on my college loans are due. Doesn't make sense since I graduated in August...I think the Dept. Of Education thinks I graduated in June. Guess I need to get on that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>I'm not as excited about this weekend as I was yesterday. My mom will be in town (meaning Houston, a few hours away) and I thought we'd get the weekend together...come to find out, everyone and their cousin will also be around. I get it's great to see people, but when it's your mom who lives 2000 miles away, sharing her is not exactly on my "to do" list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>my new (as in 6 months) healthy life style now requires me to buy a new bra...a smaller bra...boo. Guess I can't pride myself anymore (if you get my drift) til I get pregnant...o well, it's worth the smaller body!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>I'm so excited to be starting a non-profit with </span><a href="http://taylornorris.blogspot.com/2012/11/fridays-letters_9.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GoingsOnInTexas+%28Goings+on+in+Texas...1%29" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Taylor</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> to help the victims of Sandy, along with others in need as well! Check out our </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Hope-Mission/470782972972801" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">facebook page</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> for info!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>I still can't figure out how to really make the most of my DSLR...all I know is that I want the next upgraded lens for Christmas...hence, I gotta be able to actually take pictures first.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>I'm super pale and while I'm not an advocate for tanning beds...I think I need one...a few times wouldn't hurt right?? Seriously y'all, I'm gross pale...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fact: </strong>My mother in law told me yesterday that she has always thought of me as her child. Definitely made me smile and helped soften my heart a little more towards the idea of spending christmas with the in-laws (let me clarify, they're great, I'm just dreading being away from my family-2nd married Christmas-first with my family, so now it's the hubby's turn-only fair)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ok ok, I could probably continue on, but I'll wrap it up! These are my facts for the day and I hope you enjoyed reading the randomness that is this post! Have a great Tuesday!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What are your facts today??</span><br />

It's been a good week overall, but there's just nothing like Friday! Here's my lovely letters for the week! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Dear weekend</strong> please be restful and relaxing! After the chaos of last weekend, I could use a weekend full of naps and catching up on stuff around our house.<strong> Dear God </strong>you truly are my rock and my everything. I think I need you even more as we approach the Christmas season. You know the struggles of my heart, and I thank you for your abundant grace for me. I want to be a woman, wife, sister, friend, etc who reflects you and your heart at all times, so please continue to help me with that. <strong>Dear Mom</strong> I'm soooo excited that I'm less than a week away from seeing you! It's been about a month since I last saw you and that's just too long! I don't know how we'll ever be ok with living so far away...I'm pretty sure I'll never come to terms with it...but for now I'll savor every minute I get with you! <strong>Dear A&M Professor, </strong>you have been a God send to me! Your encouragement, advice, and cheerleading has been so inspirational and I hope to pass that on one day! <strong>Dear Andrea,</strong> you will forever and always be my best friend, no matter the distance between us or the time that passes between phone conversations. I love that you get me, know my heart, and ALWAYS have my back. I love your honesty, your encouragement, and YOU! <strong>Dear Macy, </strong>even though daddy wants you off the bed (your cat danderness doesn't help his breathing), you can still sleep in your bed next to me! This way we kind of still get our nightly snuggles! <strong>Dear Taylor, </strong>I'm so excited for the things ahead for our non-profit! It was so fun working on the website last night and I can't wait to see how everything develops! <strong>Dear husband, </strong>I'm soooo ready to spend the weekend together! I'm so proud of how hard you work and your dedication to healthy eating! Thank you for being my best friend, perfect fit, leader of our family, prayer partner, and so much more!</span></div>

I couldn't be more happy that it's Wednesday...well maybe if it was Thursday...but still! We're already halfway through the work week! After a long, bumpy weekend, this week has actually been nice. My Monday night included a much needed kickboxing class (a great way to realease...everything!) Our Tuesday night included a birthday dinner for a good friend and tonight is Bible study so we're moving right along! As always, linking up with </span><a href="http://littledaisymay.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-im-loving-wednesday.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jamie</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> for What I'm Loving this week!</span><br />
