7 Things

A wonderful friend of mine from college keeps a great blog and whenever I read her posts, I get inspired to start blogging more. In a post she did in December, she listed 7 things that would help readers and fellow bloggers to get to know her better. I decided to take on that same challenge.

1. Teaching was not my first choice of profession, it should have been, but
it wasn't. I enrolled at LSU initially to become a nurse; it last one year
and realized that the medical field was not my calling.

2. I once stopped in the middle of the street (Nicholson for the LSU people
out there) to save a turtle. He was just hanging out in the middle of the street,so I stopped to move him. He of course peed all over me as as I picked him up and we he did that I freaked and threw him down the canal. He may have been better off in the road!! All while I am doing this, my roommate is hysterically laughing at me.

3. I am a huge fan of TV. I have always loved watching TV, especially reality
shows and anything having to do with crime.

4. I love teaching. I have decided to leave the field for a couple of years so
I can be home with my boys, but I secretly miss it so much and can't wait to
go back.

5. I am cuurently working on my Masters in Education Administration.

6. I truly married my best friend. Jason is an amazing, person, husband and
father. God has blessed me with him.

7. I hate working out/running, but make myself do it! Hopefully one day I can
really enjoy it!

Blogging

Yep, 2nd post of the day, but after visitng fellow bloggers' pages, I feel sad because my page is so not that cool!!! For those out there with the cool templates and fun pictures, how do I do this? I feel like I just know how to do the basics and I want our blog to be fabulous!!! Any help would be great!!

Back In The Swing of Things

Well, a lot has happened since my last post! We welcomed Jacob Ross on December 15, 2010. He came out looking just like Jay, he weighed a lot less than both boys though coming into this world only at 6 lbs 1 oz! He is such a good baby and just kind of sits there and hangs out. He is already sleeping about 6 hours a night!!

Another crazy thing that is going on is that we are remodeling our house. The last week of December we found that our dishwasher pump broke and leaked water EVERYWHERE! We had water in our walls, under our hardwood floors, kitchen floors and dining room floors. Thanks goodness for home owner's insurance!! We have been talking the past year or so about remodeling, so this catastrophe has allowed us to do so, but at the expense of insurance!! It has been pretty difficult with the floors being torn up and having the boys, but the floors will be done soon, so the chaos should subside.

Being that it is a new year, I thought I should try to change some things in my/our life. I am still working on not allowing negative things in my life, but of course, sometimes that is something that you can't fully control!! Also, I am trying to get back to the mindset I was in before getting pregnant!! I had just started getting back into my routine of running and working out, and I strive to get that back!! Being a stay at home mom isn't always easy, so I am looking forward to getting the green light from my doctor so I can have that time to myself!!

We will be doing a lot of traveling this year because my little sister is getting married in June!!!! We are so excited about the upcoming activities and can't wait to celebrate them all with our family.

I will try o blog more because it is somewhat therapeutic for me. There is a lot that goes on in this house and sometimes I can't wait to share what one of the boys has done!!
