Good Bye 2011.

I have learned two valuable lessons in 2011.

1. Make sure every person who matters in your life knows it.

2. There is no such thing as cryproof mascara.

Wishing my friends and family a year full of health and happiness, and keeping those who need it in my thoughts and prayer.

My Heart is Heavy.

Today is a horrible day. Our family is now facing one of the saddest things we have ever had to deal with.

Our phone rang early this morning, with a confused friend who had heard a terrible story. I was quickly phoning around, praying that it wasn't true, but it was. Cody has lost a childhood friend, a groomsman, and a great influence in his life.

Our friend Dan was called to a fire early this morning as a volunteer fire fighter. The fire was not something that would have been considered more dangerous than many other calls he had been one, but for some reason, today, Dan was taken from us. Today also marks 2 months since his wedding.

We have never had to deal with something so huge, and painful, and I hope it is a long time before we ever have to again.

We miss you already Dan.

It's Reached the Point...

I have 14 weeks to go, and I already miss having a space between my thighs, bras that fit, and pants with buttons and zippers.

This baby had better be as cute as the last two.

I may be fat, but you're inappropriate.

Fair Warning:
The next person to see me in public and say "Christmas Baby?", will be rammed with my shopping cart repeatedly.

I am pretty sure if my house looked as bad as my van, my children would be removed from my care. I feel like I'm driving around in an episode of Hoarders.

Facebook Faux Pas

Its bad enough when you run into someone you've deleted from your facebook for being a whiner.

Its even worse when they ask you about it.

Awkward.

Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"

I get to show up at my 10 year grad reunion with more than just stretch marks and a van full of kids.
I'll be framing my certificate and taking that with me too!
Thank God I made it, I'm done!
