About Me

My photo
What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galations 2:19-20

The Start of Something New

So, as we start a new year I bid a happy farewell to 2009. It was a fun year full of new adventures. Mallory started K-5, we got another dog, a new car, still working on getting Morgan potty trained & finding out what's going on with her, and I moved to a new position at work that will hopefully give me a little more time at home. Of course, this is just to name a few. The last month of 2009 was especially busy. We had 4 Christmas progams between both girls, school, and church. It got pretty crazy around here with all of the costumes but it was well worth it. As for 2010, I am not a big "resolution' person but I think this year I might need to start. As most people, I am going to work on loosing a lot of weight. I am not just talking about few holiday pounds. I hope to be able to regain some of my figure before my 2 girls came along. If I can get remotely close, I will be thrilled! Secondly, I would love to save money, pay bills, and plan a trip to Disney this year!! WOO HOO! Lastly, more time with my kids, and waking up earlier would be great. In addition to being on time.

To all- Have a Happy 2010 and may you succeed in your New Years Resolutions!

Where Has the Time Gone?

I was sitting here doing absolutely nothing and I decided I would finally work on my blog. I have not had much experience with this and I am stil trying to figure out html codes. I am not sure how long this blog will be. The girls were playing great but now that I have picked up the computer they are climbing and throwing. Sounds out of control huh? Well it's really just Morgan. Just FYI, she counts as 2. I am actually going to obtain an Aflac accident insurance policy just for Morgan. She is a walking accident.
The summer has been fun. Not extremely busy. We did not get to take a nice vacation this year because we purchased a mini van instead. Yup, I am a proud mini van owner. I LOVE my van. We had a small trip to ATL where we went to the Georgia Aquarium and the zoo. It was actually very fun and much needed. The girls were absolutely fantastic at the aquarium. The zoo was a little different but I think we can blame that on the heat. I really miss not be able to have a beach trip this year but I think we already have plans in Seagrove for next summer. Mallory is starting K-5 in less then 2 weeks. She has grown up so fast and grown to be a very beautiful & intelligent little girl. She says she is excited but honestly, I dont think she really is. It is not that different to her because she has been in school since she was a baby. I really hate that I have to work and I wish I could at least take the summer off with the girls. Don't get me wrong I enjoy working but wish there were things I could change about it. Considering how fast 2009 has gone so far, it will be Christmas in a month. I hope to be able to do this more often. Maybe in time I will be better at it. Until then....
