Now, I'm an athlete....




For anyone who knows me, the title of this blog post is an obvious joke. But I can at least now say I completed my first 5K......of course, I walked it......at a snail's pace......in the back of the crowd with the grandmas and the children..... But it was still an acommplishment. Plus I got to do it some of my favorite people--my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and one of my best friends in life. Plus, on top of all of that, it was to support a a great cause.

Aside from that, I am COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS until I can call myself a "stay-at-home mom." I don't really like that particular phrase, so I'll have to think of something different. I just absolutely adore my kiddos, and I can't wait to be spending most of my time with them. I am just amazed that God has chosen to bless us with this opportunity. Don't get me wrong, we are going to be poor.....very poor. But I think my life is just going to be overflowing with joy, contentment and priceless moments with my babies that I will cherish forever.

Blessings upon blessings


We are so blessed. I have been reminded again and again lately that we have to realize how precious our time with our family and friends truly is. Dawson and I are so extraordinarily blessed with two near-perfect children, and family and friends that love and support us. We could never deserve such joy and happiness. We can only praise God and thank Him for continually giving us His grace and mercy.

Captain's log: 1

So, this is my first blog.....ever. But I figured if I am getting ready to become a stay-at-home mom, then I need to get into this blog craze. This can help me get my "writing fix" while I'm at home. Plus, my best friend has one, so I pretty much try to follow in her footsteps whenever I can. I hope I can make mine as cool as hers.
