Oh, Life.

Life is so funny sometimes, isn't it?  It's so fun and wonderful, sometimes its hilarious and wild, and other times it is really rough.  But the rough times make the good times better.  You really come to know how good you have it when you have been through hard times!  I'm so thankful for the good times and that there is always a new day to look forward to.

Anyway, things are going well so far in 2014!  My good friend Becky and I go to the gym almost every night together.  We are both getting stronger :)  It makes me so happy to have my post baby muscles back!!  Now to just lose that post baby fat... Humm..  I'm working on it.  Healthy food is expensive because a lot of it is fresh.  Unfortunately, there was a lapse in Josh's stipend contracts at school and we wont be paid for January!  Sooo, we are eating our food storage and I am getting pretty creative with making yummy meals out of what we have!  Hahaha :)  So once we get some money to buy produce and stuff, I am jumping back on the clean and fresh eating plan.  My goal is to lose 20 lbs before I get pregnant again.  And let me tell you, I want another baby so bad!  It's great motivation! Haha :)

Phoenix and I have been taking turns getting sick.  His are colds, whereas mine are tummy virus'.  YUCK.  But as of right now, I think we are both about better.  Now to figure out why he is waking up every two hours.... We had a GREAT schedule of at least hour naps and waking up at 10 and 2 at night (which I am fine with) and that suddenly disappeared!  Sigh... Someday he'll be able to talk and tell me what is going on.  That'll be nice.  But until then, I will happily wake up with him and happily go back to bed once he is back down again. ;)

He is into everything these days!  It's getting pretty fun, actually.  He has taken his first steps to Dadda! He'll be walking before we know it!  Now to just childproof my home...

Sundays are also becoming...fun?  Haha :)  He is just SO on the go that sitting quietly on Mama or Dadda's lap while playing with a toy or looking at a book is a thing of the past!  We enjoy quality time in the mother's room, opening cabinets, climbing in cabinets, rocking in the chair, getting in the garbage, etc.

Josh is busy as can be with school!  They have a lot going on this semester.  Sadly, I am getting used to him being gone all day, because today was MLK day and I kept doing my daily chores and taking care of beebee when halfway through the day, Josh said "you know, if you need any help, I'm home.. I'm right here!"  Haha :)  He was working on some software for GMH so I guess subconsciously, I tagged him as "working" and out of the loop.  It was kinda funny.
