More decisions...

Decisions. I know I have talked about them before on this blog. Man is it tough at times. Right now we are trying to make a major decision and all I want to do is take some time to stop thinking about it and analyzing. I know what I want to do but have to figure out how to make it happen. In a lot of ways I guess it can be viewed as a step back but for me it will be a huge step forward. Something I can give my children that I wish I would have had. So, with all that being said, I can't share until we make the final decision. Sorry for the tease but had to get that off my chest!

It has been a beautiful day but chilly. The boys wanted to play outside so badly but it was just too cold and windy. Man is it windy here. Shocks me every time. But Spring is almost fully here and we get to be outside once again so I won't complain about a few chilly days. We still had fun today!

So I was reading my usual list of blogs today and came across this post. Of course I had to go and see what mine was so off I went. And guess what? I am within my average weight! I can't believe it. I still weigh more than I did before I had the boys but at least I have been able to lose a little these last few months. Now if I could just keep going. The only real thing I have been doing is watching how large my portions are. Nothing else. In fact, I haven't even been able to make it to the gym since the boy's schedule changed in January. You would think losing a little weight would motivate me to get myself back in there. Just so, so busy and the last thing on my mind at the end of the day is exercise. I know, I know, excuses. But at the moment my sanity is worth having a few extra pounds. :)

Today would have been my dad's birthday. I always miss him but his birthday is one of those days I am just kind of sad and REALLY miss him. It's so hard for me to believe he's gone at times. I just want to pick up the phone and give him a call. I just tried to keep myself busy today and enjoy time with hubby and the kiddos and even did some cleaning out of the garage. How's that for keeping myself busy?

On a happier note, we have been able to spend a lot of time outside this last week. Yippee! Sunshine is a wonderful thing. Hoping for some more great weather this next week so we can do much of the same! I'll leave you with one of my favorite photos from this week. :)

Three

OMG, all I can say is that age 3 is WAY harder than age 2!

Man it's been a while!

Wow, it has been WAY too long. Been busy with the kiddos and life. No other excuse. Not been on the computer much, which was actually a goal. But I once again miss my blogging friends! Must update soon! I had this great post in my head while putting the boys to bed tonight and of course now that I sit down to write it I can't even remember what it was about. Ugh! Must do this during the day when I am not so sleepy! Hope all is well out there in bloggy world!

We finally have had some warm weather! We have been able to get outside several days this last week. Yippee!

So for the 3rd round over at GDS I decided to try something I had never done before. Stretching my abilities to see what would happen. I think it came out pretty cool but know I could have done a few things better had I left it over night and went back to it. Lesson learned! I was just excited to be done. :)

Another year older

I had a great birthday for the most part. The boys picked Wednesday as the day to be little terrors but other than that the day was nice. M was out of town so that was the one other thing I would change but he did send me a beautiful flower arrangement. I also got two others, which really shocked me. One from my in-laws and one from a good friend. I felt so blessed and loved. I am such a lucky gal!

Strangely enough, all last year I kept saying I was 38. Only I wasn't. I was only 37. So I get to be 38 for another year! I find that kind of amusing for some reason. Strange sense of humor I guess.

Well, I didn't make the team over at GDS. That's okay. It was fun, I got some cool digi kits and the gals are very talented so I learned a lot. The more I have thought about it the last few days the more I think it's for the best. I have really been trying to be on the computer less and that would require more time on it. So for now it was what was meant to be. :) This was my final submission for the contest though. I could not decide on what to do with the title for anything. So I finally just went with this. Will change it for when I print it but for the contest I couldn't use any outside kits.

GDS Challenge

Well, I am going to go out on a limb here and say this. Praying I am not jinxing it. I decided to compete in the Go Digital Scrapbooking Supreme Team challenge these last 4 weeks. I have done this several other times but never made it past the 3rd round. This time I made it to the finals. I submitted my final layout last night and we find out who will be the lucky 12 on the team for the next 4 months tomorrow night. I pray I did not just jinx my chances.

There are some extremely talented gals in this contest. I can say for sure who a few of the people are going to be. We are down to 28 people and they pick 12. Even if I don't make it I at least made it to the final round this time. So I am happy. And we had some great kits to play with along the way. Here is my submission for the first week:
