All Sorts of Craziness

So it's been a while since I've been on here...

We have had so much going on and happening in our lives-some good some not so good.
We have been really really blessed though. Philip has good news with work, more to come on that later, our basement flooded at our house in Columbus, we have been driving back and forth frequently, I just enjoyed Spring Break! :)

Tons going on, and it is so exciting when your life is moving quickly and it can change in an instant! Our lives are moving in a direction that we never expected, and it's so exciting. More details to come...Just saying hey and we've been busy! :)

Hope everyone has a blessed week!

The Creepy Crud

So-Philip and I, both our families and everyone we know seems to have the creepy crud! The only one in our house that doesn't have it seems to be Pepper Pug...

Here's to Tylenol, Mucinex and TONS of tissues...Hope everyone gets to feeling better really soon (including us!)...This stuff is soooo nasty and I am willing it to leave me!

I want to feel better so I can feel productive...I feel yucky nasty and like I am not accomplishing anything...Hope all you out there feel better if you are feeling this way too...

Here's to beating cold, sinus and flu junk! :)

Hugs and Kisses and Lots of Love! :)

So Valentine's Day is this weekend! :)

I am so excited because it's my first Valentine's Day being married to my sweet wonderful husband, Philip! I can't wait to kiss, hug and share all the mushy emotions of how much I love him! I have his present and have sent my Valentine Cards to everyone in the family, and I feel like I'm on top of it this year! NO waiting till the last minute!

I miss Philip right about now so much...he's in Columbus working and will be home tomorrow (I think?) and I can't wait to see him. I am trying to get all my school stuff done so that we can spend lots of time together this weekend-so I'm cutting this short! :)

Have lots of mushy, sweet and romantic time this weekend with the ones you love!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Stress!!! :(

Stress...Does such nasty things to you, your body, your loved ones, etc!
I know I shouldn't have too much to be stressed about, but never the less, it happens. I stress out easily. It can be the house not being clean enough (yes-I'm a clean freak!), the dog not being bathed weekly, not feeling like I have everything hole-punched and in just the proper spot in the binder, or even the car not being clean and organized to my picky-ness (sp?)specifications!

I have GOT to learn to let this stuff go! I have good skin (or at least I've always thought so!), but I've noticed that it breaks out at the onset of stress-only on the chin! YUCK! It is not pretty and therefore stresses me out worse! I feel the need to purchase new, clean makeup or new facial cleansers...run on the treadmill, do yoga, pray, whatever makes the stress seep from my pores and body! Help...any suggestions on how to let all this JUNK go!?

So anyhow...de-stress yourself...if you can! :) Otherwise, enjoy that big ole' bottle of Merlot! :) (just kidding-calm down, only a glass or two or three!) :)

Daycares-Oh My!

I saw something so disturbing to me yesterday...Daycare.

Philip and I don't have kids yet, but I know one thing for sure, when we do I am going to do everything humanly possible to try and make sure my precious babies don't have to go to one of the crusty, nasty daycare places like the one I witnessed yesterday! :(

I went in with my friend, Mandy, to look for one for her beautiful baby girl, Blakely (who I told Mandy CAN'T go there!). When I left it made me so sad those sweet beautiful kids in there in that dark, dank nasty place that is supposedly State certified.

What made me so sad was I had gone to this very same daycare in the very same building for one summer as a child with my cousin Maggi. If my memory serves me correctly we only stayed for that one summer and our moms yanked us out so fast our little curly haired heads spun!

The place had these sweet kids on mats (that didn't appear very clean) on the floor for "nap time". Right-nap time. They looked like they were being forced to lay on nasty mats and "sleep" for two hours. I am in school for Early Childhood Education, and I know I don't know everything about kids-far from it-but it just made me so sad. They didn't appear to be learning anything or interacting with one another. Just sweet little things in such a sad place~!

I had such a blessed and fortunate childhood with wonderful places to stay while my mom and dad were at work, and I just pray that my babies one day will be as fortunate! I had St. Thomas, Eunice, Lori, Krista, Nana, etc to watch after me and make sure I was safe, happy and learning (and of course the most awesome parents a kid could ever ask for!).

Any who-I pray that all parents will just "drop -in" on these day cares-make sure they are treating all your little angels like you would want them treated!

So sad...Sorry for the depressing post! Bothered me and I felt the need to vent! :)
Till later! :)

Yay! First Blog!

Yay!

I am so excited I have my very own Blog! I have had Blog envy for some time now from looking at all the other cute blogs that friends have. It's such a neat way to keep in touch with people and they can just "click" right on and find out whats happened in your day, week, month-whatever! :)

I miss Philip so much right now! He is on his Vegas trip for the World of Concrete and Dee's BDay weekend (Happy, Happy B-Day, Dee!).

I hope that he is having so much fun and wish that I could be there to share it with him. I felt like post ing one of my favorite photos (above) from our wedding...I love looking at them and thinking of that special/blessed day!

Anyway...Hope they have so much fun (safely!) and I am keeping busy studying, blogging and spending time with my family for a day or two...

Anxiously awaiting my sweet hubbys return!!
