Look Who's 3 Months Old!!!

It's true! Phoebe is three months old. She's the sweetest little girl ever made! We are so glad to have her in our family.

to work-out or not to work-out....THAT is the question

A few weeks ago I joined a Biggest Loser competition. Just a little one. There are about 18 other "losers" involved.

I have never really had a problem losing the weight after having a baby.

But this time I am having a problem finding the time to exercise. Finding the time to shower. Finding the time to eat healthy. Finding the time to clean the house. I could go on and on. And that is just the start of everything I am having a hard time finding the time to do.

But I am no quitter. I am going to win this competition. I am going to lose this weight. AND I am going to find the time to get everything done that I have to do.

So take that Father Time!

There Shall Be No More Sappy or Sad Posts!

Well, the title says it all. I myself am getting tired of all the ups and downs of this no job roller coaster of emotions thing. So today will be my last and final sappy post.

First some good news.

Trevor got a job. It's not as a lawyer, since there seem to be none of those around these days, but as a paralegal. Turns out as I was going through a box of old papers from his undergrad days that Trevor got his paralegal certificate and we had both forgotten about it. Maybe it was inspiration to look through that box, because not long after that a job posted for a paralegal.

My heart is full as I think about the past few months and how much of a struggle they have been. We could not have made it if it weren't for the generosity of our families who bolstered us up with lots of pep talks and wonderful words of encouragement. Helping us find clothes for our kids and household essentials. Words cannot express my gratitude to you guys. Thank you!

I know this job is not as a lawyer, and that basically STINKS! But I am so grateful that we finally have an income that it doesn't matter one ounce to me.

So goodbye to all the sad and depressing posts. I will NOT be visiting them again.

Hello new day!

I love these moments as a mom. No kids fighting or arguing. Sweet sweet moments.

This one is for Grandma. She sure looks cute! *wink wink*
