Updates

Ok, I've been really horrible at keeping up with the blog. We've been so busy, it often feels like the day has just begun by the time it is about to end. I guess this is growing up....

So here in a nutshell is what has been going on...

1) School started. I'm beyond stressed and overwhelmed, but trying to find the joy in the work. It's hard most days... heck, most weeks. But I'm trying, and I guess we'll see how things work out as the year progresses.

2) In addition to working like a crazy woman, I've started working out again. Woohoo! Ryan has a total workout/food plan, so he's encouraging me to stay on track. 4 days a week, I'm at the gym at Woodlake. It's nice, but ugh- some days it takes just about every grain of energy I have left to just walk in there, especially after the days I'm having at work.

3) We have been BUSY! Ryan has been coaching a baseball team, so just about every weekend is consumed with something related to baseball. We've also been out of town for a wedding, and I swear it takes me almost 2 weeks to get readjusted after being out of town for a few days.

4) Campbell is growing up fast! She's not growing a lot size-wise (she's still a petite little thing!), but she is talking up a storm. And she is FUNNY! Ryan and I spend a lot of our free time laughing at her, and it's nice to have our own little comedian here in the house.

I'm sure there are other things that have been going on that have been consuming our time, but I couldn't think if anything else right now if I tried. With all the stuff going on around here, some of the projects around the house have slowed to a stop. But we do have a very exciting addition to announce....








THE PATIO! :) Yes, the long awaited patio will be put in by the end of the month. (Wait, you didn't think I was referencing something else, did you??) I can't wait! Before and afters will definitely be up for your enjoyment!

And speaking of home improvements, has anyone seen or heard of this Cricut thing?? I saw an infomercial on it this morning... and I think I want one. They are pricey though, I think.... but I might have to get one!
