Sisters

It all started this morning when I saw on Facebook that one of my best friends is pregnant with her second child. Seeing this ignited two thoughts: 1) WHY IS EVERYONE I KNOW GETTING PREGNANT!!! 2) I miss my best girlfriends :(

As I was driving to work, I started thinking about my last year in Tullahoma with them. Bridgett got married and Mallory was pregnant...my next thought jumped to a picture I knew I had taken of Danielle, Mallory, Leah and me by Danielle's pool when Mallory was pregnant - and I knew I wanted to find that picture. During some slow time at work I decided to find that picture. In high school I had created a "webshots" account and stored my pictures on there. I haven't used this account in YEARS so I was surprised to remember my username and password. Not only did finding these make me miss my besties, but they definitely make me want to take the exercising up a few 100 notches!!! I was so skinny!!! Anywho, these girls have and will always be my sisters. We may not talk as often as we like and we certainly don't see each other enough, but I thank God that they are a part of my life.

Being a Clock Watcher

5:02...28 more minutes. This week has draaaaaaged by and I couldn't be happier for it to be over! I figured I would kill some time by posting a blog with some random thoughts.

- I started reading Twilight this week and I am so anxious to continue reading everytime I have to put it down, so I am looking forward to that this weekend :) I have seen the movie and am so obsessed and knowing that the books only give me more information, I couldn't resist. I think I'm also obessed because Edward Cullen's character is very similar to Isaac - minus the Vampire part :D

- Some big changes could take place for my career soon. Part of me really doesn't want to get my hopes up, but at the same time, I'm so ready for the change! I just need to keep telling myself to just be patient and let things fall where they may. I really hope they do because I am growing very tired of dealing with the crap that I deal with currently. Blah.

- For Lent, I decided to give up "negativitity". Some of you might be laughing....but that doesn't mean I can't be sarcastic and it doesn't mean I have to be fake to people, just nicer :)

- I got my new Palm Pixi this week and I loooove it!!! I really didn't think I would, so I am very relieved that it is so user friendly!

- Aiden has another molar growing in! I can't believe how many teeth are just popping in!!! He went from being my sweet wittle bundle of baby sounds who couldn't escape my arms, to this hyper, vampirish ball of energy with his own mind!!! He is just growing up too fast! A lot of people I went to high school with are now either pregnant or having babies and I can't help but get baby fever...BUT then I am literally smacked with reality, my own little bundle of joy is enough for me right now and I am perfectly content to keep it that way for a while ;)

That brings me to my next thought...unlike most people, in 9 months we will not be welcoming a child, we will be getting MARRIED!!! At the same time my emotions are met with elation, they are then drowned in anxiety - I JUST booked the location and I still do not have a dress. It didn't help that when I called a dress store to make an appointment and she asked for my date, she responded "Oh boy, we do need to get you a dress then!" Yes, thank you I was not aware that I should have a dress by now *sarcasm*. I am just a HUUUUGE procrastinator AND I was waiting to book my venue before doing anything else!

(I am also good at justifying everything)

It took me so long to book my venue, because I thought another venue was going to hook it up and after waiting for an unprofessionally long response from the venue, I missed the chance to book other venues. Luckily, on the day that I desperately reached out to a caterer for alternate dates, she told me that one of my top choices had just opened up that morning for my date! So now that I have my venue, I can continue, or start I should say, the wedding planning...

...I am now breathing into a paper bag...

Happy Hump Day!

After going two weeks with only one trip to the fitness center, I am finally getting back into my routine. It is still tough getting up at 5 am though!!! I was so relieved that nobody else was there this morning so that I could do my thing :) Unfortunately I did not have any coffee creamer so I still have not had my morning coffee :( At least it is Wednesday and the weekend is almost here! I am really hoping we can find a sitter so that we can do our Valentine's Dinner since we couldn't go this past weekend.

On a different note, today is also Ash Wednesday. Although I no longer practice the Catholic religion, I can't help but feel like I should still participate in some of the traditions. That being said, I would like to give up or do something for Lent, but am not sure. I am already working on the whole "being healthy" deal and I don't drink enough sodas or alcohol for it to really matter; basically I don't really have anything "bad" in my life that I need to give up. I guess I should be thankful for that :) If I were to try to do anything in 40 days to better my life, maybe I should start with 1) finding a good Christian church near us (might go back to the one we went to before moving to Lake Mary) 2) being more positive and not so negative towards people I don't like.

"You looked like the type of person who'd want to blog about your ideas and opinions..."

Well...actually I'm not, but for some reason I decided to create a blog. At first I was hesitant because I already have a facebook and that is one way to stay connected with friends and family, but then I realized that I don't necessarily want to share my precious family memories and thoughts with everyone on my facebook...enter: Blogspot.

Isaac and I have come a long way in our relationship and could not be happier with the little family we have created! Like most couples and families, it is like a rollercoaster....So sit tight because it's going to be an adventure!

This blog will mostly be narrated by me, Kayla, but being the very opinionated guy Isaac is he might drop a line now and then :)
