Learning to Live Life to the Fullest!
We are in eager anticipation of Santa’s arrival!

Our stockings are hung in expectation of his coming.

We’re traveling to my parent’s house, a trip that is long over-due.

I’m starting a new Christmas morning tradition, and serving cinnamon buns fresh from the oven.

This Christmas, I’m full of life, and ready to celebrate!
Because, this Christmas, Santa’s not the only one who’s coming!
Just a 20-something girl living on the East Coast, trying to figure out life.
I'm a wife and mom to two.
I'm trying to rediscover my love for long walks, yoga and pilates. But not hiking. I still don't like hills.
I was raised at the beach, but I don't like the beach. I like to look at it, but I don't like to swim in it, I'd prefer a pool, thanks.
I'm just trying to become the best person I can be -- the woman God wants me to be. That's easier said than done!
Hubby is my all-time favorite guy. A perfect mix of serious, sarcastic, laid-back, handy and nerdy, he is the perfect complement to me. I love his strong work-ethic and the way he always loves and supports me through everything. Some of Hubby's favorite things include: hiking, Virginia Tech football, woodworking, and his family. When I married him in July 2007, I had no idea what an amazing journey we were headed on, and how I could come to love him so much more each day.
Our oldest, Colton, is three years old. He is equal parts sassy and hysterical. He loves all things train, car, bus, truck, and machine related. He has a penchant for made-up words and loves to be the clown of his pre-school class.
Our younger son, Nathan, was born this May. He is pure joy and full of smiles! He is such a blessing and a perfect fit for our family.

Aaaah! Congrats!!! You best get back to blogging and let the world know what’s been going on! I feel totally and completely normal apart from being hungrier, tired-er and grumpier than normal. No sickness, NADA. How about you!?

I JUST got over feeling sick all the time – nauseous, running to the bathroom at work to throw up, feeling really tired, the whole nine yards. Now I’m starting the feel better, and last week I started feeling the baby kick! It’s so awesome, you’re going to love it!
Yes, I have to get back to blogging asap. I’m thinking of moving over to wordpress, because it’s just so much easier to use. So stay tuned!
