My baby is 2!

So today (the 28th) my "baby" turned 2.....where did the time go? Could he REALLY be the same age of some of the kiddos I used to teach??? Sigh....

What a wonderful 2 years though. I have grown so much. I never realized how selfish I was (and still am..I'm a work in progress) until I had him. I never understood what it meant to WANT to die for someon...I do now!!! He brings so much joy to Andy and I's life. The things he says, the little quirky things he does, the different parts of Andy and I that come out every once in awhile, it's all been a joyeous ride. I'm sad that he is 2.... I am now a parent of a toddler, GAG. :) But I plan on enjoying each moment of his second year. Each season of his life I will enjoy, or force myself to enjoy if I have to.

What a wonderful gift you are my son. I can't wait to see what God does with your life. I am proud to be your Mom, I am proud to call you my firstborn and my son. No matter where life takes you or where life takes me, I will NEVER leave you and I will ALWAYS love you more than you will ever understand!!! You are my most precious gift. You are the best thing I have ever done and will ever do. Happy 2nd Birthday my precious baby. I hope you get to celebrate so many more and I hope I'm there to party with you. I love you!!! -Mommy

Moment of Glory

There have been a few times in my 32 years that I have had shall we say a "moment of glory". The range from probably junior high through the birth of my son. Each one special in it's own right and those brief moments of glory have changed my life and made me the woman I am today in their each unique way. I had yet another "moment of glory" this past weekend that will forever change my life. I got an email from my friend Gina McMurtrey about 3 months ago. She said that she had seen on facebook how I was running and was I interested in running a half marathon with her in St Louis in October. Well unknown to her one of my dreams that for a very long time I thought was unattainable was to run a full marathon. But I had always been heavy (since I got married) and thought there is no way a fat girl like me can run 26.2 miles. When she asked me run half of a marathon, 13.1 miles, the thought once again popped into my head, I can't run that far, I barely can run ...

Couponing

Ok so most of you who know me know that I am obssessed with coupons and finding good deals for my family. I'm still learning, "the game" but I think I am progressing nicely. It's all about finding the good deals then the coupons that go with it, then making your dinners around those. Which is proving very hard. If any of you have advice, good healthy recipes, or just tricks let me know. I am out to save my family the most amount of money possible. It's the one thing (besides raise our son) that I feel I can contribute. Anyway, there is a new contest going on with my friends blog: iheartcoupons.blogspot.com that cellfire (a place where you can add extra coupons to your Dillons card) is giving away $100 grocery gift card and one of the things you have to do is blog about so guess what? I'm blogging about it. :) I'm also adding her button to my page. Seriously though if you are in the Springfield area you should check out her page. I have known this sweet lad...
