It's a crazy beautiful life

Where to start?! Things have been crazy, but in a good way, lately! I am excited to say that we are now the new owners of the new iPad! I gotta admit, I was against this thing at first but now I love it and I'm actually blogging on it right now :) so in love! We also made another big purchase this weekend and it was a second car!!!! You have no idea how excited I am about this! We have been a one car family for a year and I am thankful that we are able to add this addition to our family! Thank you Lord for all of these blessings. We have come such a long way and I am thankful for everything we have :)

Now on to my son. I know I brag a bunch but he is my pride and joy:)he is 18 months old and such a mamas boy! SO smart and learns so many things everyday. He has no idea how much I love him and how I'm so thankful that I get to be home for every milestone, every tear and every kiss <3 he completes me. As I was sitting on the couch with him today watching his Mickey mouse clubhouse, I just sit and stare at this little man. He really isn't a baby anymore! Understands so much of what we say to him and he knows how to reply back. He runs all over the place, doesn't want mommys help and is just so independent. How did I get so lucky?! Can't wait to give this little man a sibling ;)

Allergies are out of control lately! All I wanted to do today was sleep and that is pretty much impossible with a toddler. I don't know if I'll survive my next pregnancy HA! Anyway, all of my shows for the evening are over and it's time for this mommy to go to bed.

Overwhelmed maybe??

Tony started work and everything is back to normal. Well, not everything. Lately I've been feeling like something is missing. What am I doing with my life? Yes, I know raising a child is a full time job but I know that I can do more than that! Lately, we have been talking about some major changes in our future. Overwhelming and scary changes that might require both of us to work. Perfect timing right? Tony and I were talking about how I feel today and we think that school is what I need. I need something that will challenge me every day and give me some type of balance in my life. Tomorrow will be dedicated to finding a school and figuring out what exactly I want to do! I am so ready for this next chapter in my life and I want to be able to provide for my family when I need to :)

Speaking of future plans, the million dollar question lately is "So when are you guys having another baby?" I can't even tell you how many times we get asked that!! My son just turned 18 months and the idea of another baby has been on my mind quite a bit. The age difference would be exactly what we want but would another baby work into the mix of all the upcoming crazy changes?! SO many things to think about and try to figure out. I am probably the biggest worry wart but I need to let go and let God take control of things. He has a plan for us and I can't wait to see what that is!

I better get off of here before Tony gets home (dumb swing shift!) but I was in the "blogging" mood and it always helps writing out how you feel :)
