The wonderful adventures in...... moving

Yeah, you heard it right we are moving.Well, for many reasons actually. The house we are in now is cute and we are settled yes but, it is a horribly insulated home and we have burned up and been frozen out this past year and we cant stand it any longer. On top of that we have a 6 1/2 month old baby to be thinking about. Reason # 2 for moving is simply we need something cheaper because david is student teaching in a couple of months and we will have basically no income. So that was a huge reason. With this new place we will end up saving close to $200 a month! Thats huge for us! So anyway, we weighed the pros and cons and the only con i came up with was the actual pain in the butt of moving and not only moving but moving with a very very active little boy! But, I think in the long run this will help us alot and we are only doing this for like 7 or 8 months and then we will be making salary because my husband will be a working man!!! :) So there it is, we are moving. If anyone feels the urge to want to help someone move please let me offer my boxes to you or better yet let me offer you my very handsome son to play with while I unpack! We go tommorow to set a date for the big move, but please pray for us as we learn to down grade just little to make things work in these last few months of being "dirt" poor. :)

anticipation

I think in the last week I have been feeling just isolated and to be honest lonely. I absolutely feel that God has blessed me with one of the best husbands in the world and my son has got to be the biggest blessings I have ever been given. With all this said, I have been feeling like out of the loop. David graduates in may and I know at that point God has many roads, oppurtunity, and relationships ahead of us, I guess i just am learning patience and contempment (spelling?) lately. I miss having talks with girl friends. Ya know, a tight knit group of people who I know pray for me daily and who I can lift up. I have been praying and trying to involve myself in things to where God can make this prayer readily available, but I have learned that I need to be content first. I love my life, and everything that I have been given. I know this blog does not make any sense probably, but all this to say I wait in anticipation for next week because next saturday I leave. As much as it pains me to leave my husband behind and I so so wish he was going with me, I am so excited for something different. I am glad my mom and dad and siblings get to spend a week with noah. Anyway, I know afetr a week I will be ready to come see my hubby and I know noah will be ready to see his daddy who stayed home to work and go to school for us!!! Man, I love my hubby!!!! What a scramble of thoughts.

6 month shots!! blah!

OK, so I know I need to get over it. I mean I have done this like like twice now. I hate seeing my baby get shots. It just breaks my heart completely! Noah has his big appointment tommorow! We are actually trying a new pediatrician. I am hoping I will like her. I just really am dreading the day. Noah is always terribly fussy with shots, and again I just hate seeing his little face get so upset. On the brighter note, HE IS 6 MONTHS OLD! what happend? where did time go? I just love him so much , and I really try to treasure every moment with him, and now I look and were half way to a year. It is just crazy! Let's see, he now says mama over and over and over. Now whether it is on purpose I dont care he says it! He is sitting up all by himself like such a big boy now! He is really working on the crawling thing! HE is really trying to figure it out. SO, anyway thats the information right now on how he is doing. I am getting excited. I leave in a little under two weeks to go see my family for a week. I think it will really be good for them and me. I will say I am sad about leaving my husband! I really am gonna miss him. This will be our longest time apart since we met! I know kinda sad! but it is.... well, I should be sleeping since the baby is, but I know I am so bad about this blogging thing, but I really try to update you guys as much as possible. I will post some new pictures of him as soon as I get them on the computer!

Im ready!

Well, lately I have just really been kinda bored going through the same motions everyday. I basically just clean and do laundry and cook and ya know the things a house wife does. I really love being blessed enough to stay home with my sweet baby and do the things I get to do. I guess I think I just miss my family. It gets kind of lonely and quiet around here, and I really have not seen them in awhile. For Noah's sake, I am just so glad that next weekend we will be able to see them. My dad has not been able to see Noah since he was like 2 months old, and now he is almost 6! So, I am really ready to see my family and get to spend time with them. anyway, today's weather has got to be the best. It's rainy and cloudy and in the 70's. love it!! I actually caught myself watching The Santa Clause today which means that at the slightest decrease in temperature I feel the need to get all Chistamasy ( i know its not a word), but I love Christmas and especially now with a baby to share it with. What a great time of year! well, I should be ya know doing laundry and getting things done while noah is taking his morning nap. So, im off to get done what needs to be done.

pretty stinkin awesome

So.......... today was my birthday! I turned 22 and I wasnt like totally over the top excited but ya know come on its your birthday, you gotta be excited to celebrate it. Well, it turned out to be a great day. I decided along with the rest of my family to invest in a nike plus deal and a new pair of running shoes and my goal is to run the 10 K in austin this coming March. Yeah ok, so may seem like way out of reach but im telling you I will do it. I am really determined. So, that was part of my gift from david. Then, my mom sent me a box full of goodies that I was just so excited to get. I lvoed everything in there. Plus, she had to throw a few new toys in there for noah. But anyway I got a watch, new perfume, a notebook, a book, a phone charger (which trust me is a big deal to me) , and bunch of other stuff. Then, get ready for this.......... Everyone in my family went in together and got me day at the spa. 3 hours of just pure relaxation and alone time. well, kinda I actually get to spend it with mari. I am way excited about this because we have both been dreaming aobut this day oh since we were like 9 months pregnant and miserable. Well, now we both have an excuse because we have birthdays this month. so, on Sept, 27 dont bother calling because we will be getting a massage, facial, pedicure, and cheesecake!!!! SO I will stop braggin about how wonderful my birthday was. But, i do wanna thank my amazing family!! I love you guys so much and you made this day one to be excited about!!! It was pretty stinkin awesome. Happy birthday to me! until next year.... :)

Noah's first camping trip

Well, Noah has offcially had his first trip to david's parent's ranch. It was so beautiful and relaxing out there, and Noah enjoyed it so much. He loves to be outside, and this really made his weekend. It was right up there next to heaven for him to be outside all day long jumping in his jumpy.His nights were kind of rough because of a loud ac unit, but it didnt stop him from being totally enthralled with everything out there. But, we are home and kind of back into a routine and things. My birthday is thursday, which is exciting, I guess. There is just nothing special about turning 22. oh well. Other than that, thats about as exciting as it gets around here for awhile. We will have a bible study here on wed. David is helping his friend Zach with a small group and is really excited about that starting up. We have a pretty calm week, which is the way we like it! I have posted some of the many cute pics from the weekend.
