THE MONEY PIT NO MORE

This week has been surprisingly very productive despite the topsy turvy, unpredictable schedule we've been on. My office is finally functioning as it should, and not as the junk room between the kitchen and Garage. In addition to that, we have finally decided on the trim color for the outside of the house. Woo Hoo!!! That has been an ongoing nightmare along with the rest of RENOVATIONS to our own MONEY PIT.

Earlier today, I got some shocking yet exciting news!!! This weekend the majority of my family from Arkansas will be making their way to our hometown, in hopes of helping us finish all major projects around our home. Such a blessing could not be more appreciated at this time, this is truly a monumental event for my family.

So this weekend, I will be documenting this extraordinary task and hopefully posting it to my blog for all to witness :) God is Good!!!

My Monkey Boy

My son Hunter, I can not put into words how much joy this child brings to my heart. He has been the most precious inspiration since he was brought into my world at 8 months old. I often refer to him as my son from the heart, not by birth because he was part of the package when I met my husband. I tease my hubby that I fell in love with Hunter before I fell in love with him, he was just that cute. Tonight as my lil man unloads the dishwasher and asks me if he can help me with dinner, I wonder what my life would be without him. I still can't imagine it, he is one of the greatest gifts I've ever been given. I can only hope that he feels the same way about me.

SLOW DAY AT THE CASA

Waking up this morning was a chore, but it was nice getting to sleep in a lil with my hubby there beside me. Being out of town for two wks without my best friend has helped me to appreciate every moment I have with him. I used to believe that if we weren't going out someplace special or doing something to get our adrenaline pumping, then we were just doomed for BOREDOM. The longer we're together though, I find myself desiring just a SLOW DAY AT THE CASA. No interruptions, he and I, the kiddos, enjoying the more simple things in life. As we ate lunch together, I couldn't help but smile as our youngest daughter climbed up beside her Daddy, proceeded to mimic his every move as they finished their sandwich in unison. These are the moments I cherish more and more everyday.
