ITS ALL ABOUT TAKING THE RIGHT RISKS


So the last year has been one of the most interesting, adventurous, scary, frusterating, exciting, exhausting, years yet... And the past 4 months I think I have learned more about life, love and myself then I have in the past 26 years (yea I said it 26... I know) So in May my husband started working for a company which he has basically gone for 4 months out of the year. So in my own words I am a single mom of two girls all summer long. At first when we wher concidering this new job I was against it. As I started to hear more about the company and the life that it would bring our family I let my gaurd down a little. Phil is one of those people that if he really wants something he will not stop until he gets it... And I know more then anything in the world he wants to take care of our family. So as we learned more and Phil started talking to people in the company he just felt right about it.. We talked about it one night for a long time and he had a look in his eye, A look of sucess and what I call "go getter" he decided that it was time to take a risk and take the job. So as the supportive wife I am I had to trust him that he would not do this unless he was sure it would benefit our family. April 28th he left for Austin, TX... I remember thinking that day that this was just the begining of a new life and thanking God he was not going to war somewhere (those poor wives, Dont know how they do it) Needless to say we all had some very long hard days, lots of tears, emails, text messages, videos anything we could do to keep our family connected. The girls and I went out a few times to stay and see him but It was very choatic traveling acrosss the country with a 2 year old and an 8 year old, I want able to go out to see him as much as I would've liked... I spent lots of days at the pool and home doing fun stuff with the kids to pass the time, Now it seems like it went by really fast. So here we are in September and my Man is back and we are more in love and appreciate each other then ever before... Its amazing what distance can do. I truly believe that its all about taking the right risks... This was a risk that I really didnt want to take but I did in support of my husband, Now our life is better, our family is happier... I love you babe!

Kiannas 3rd birthday




So for nana's 3rd birthday she told us all she wanted was a "lower" (lawn mower) and anything tinkerbell. So this is what we came up with, She loved it so much! We just had a little party for her and she was so happy. I made a little cake for her, of course it was green her favorit color, Its funny how the smallest things make kids happy. That really makes me look at my world and the things that truly make me happy... I love my life and my family. I am sad however, my baby is 3!
