Busy. Shew we have been busy. Life is great! A lot has been going on and I've been such a slacker lately with the blog. I would like to update once a week. Hopefully I can start keeping up soon!
Garrett just started his big boy class at daycare. I can't even till you how much I love our new teachers. They are just wonderful. It was a big transition for him. He went from 8-10 kids, to around 18 kids. Shew. It is so loud in there every time I go, but they seem to have great control over the kids. Garrett has started singing songs all the time now, he can count to 20 (although the middle numbers get skipped most of the time, ha) and says his ABC's. He also has a great vocabulary and his speech is really taking off. They have show and share Friday's where the kids get to bring in a toy or whatever they want to bring in and show it to their other friends/class. So cute!
BIGGER NEWS: We are about potty trained! WAHOO! I didn't think this would EVER happen. It always feels like that when you are going through a "stage" with your kids. I remember teething, breaking the paci, and "crying it out" felt like we were never going to get through it. We did and made it through this. He still uses a pull up at night time, but we will hopefully be getting rid of that soon.
Josh, Garrett and I took a trip to Holden Beach a few weeks ago with my dad, aka Pops. It was awesome! I will blog about that later this weekend. We got some awesome pictures. I love the beach and Garrett is such a beach baby!
ECU had it's first home football game. Garrett and I were lucky enough to be able to attend. We tailgated with Josh's mom Susan and her friends. They were sooo much fun. I actually got to bake too (which I love). I was also able to see some friends from college. It is always good seeing old friends. I wish we could have hung out longer, but we had to get into the game. Garrett and I were able to sit on the first row right behind the team. He had a great time looking at everyone. Too funny!
I've been slack also on working out. I've finally gotten back into it. I truly enjoy working out, but the time to put into it is what discourages me sometimes. I really struggle with my balance of mom, wife, sister, daughter, working out, work, girl time etc. As I seem to do really well in one area, the others seem to fall. I'm working hard to find a balance. I miss my girlfriends and hope to start catching up soon.
Earlier this month my AC went out in my car. I drive a 2001 Honda Accord and she has been so good to me. I'm not ready for a car payment yet. Luckily the fix was inexpensive, but I think I'm ready to trade my car in. I will be getting another Honda I think. So right now I'm also working on cutting down some credit card balances and working on preparing myself for a car payment...yuck!
Josh and I will be joining Covenant Church at the end of this month. I am over the moon excited about this. We feel like we have found such an awesome church home and I look forward to this wonderful opportunity. Next on the list is to get Garrett dedicated to the church.
My brother got engaged a week ago and I couldn't be happier. I honestly thought I wouldn't ever have a sister and I love Nicole so much. She is such a beautiful girl inside and out! I look forward to getting to know her more and can't wait for the wedding! It will be next November.
Well I think this catches us up for right now.
