Anxieties

I don't even know where to go with this, I really wasn't even sure I wanted to post this(This is not a sympathy post but maybe will just help ease my mind a bit)...It's not something that I constantly deal with (or even talk about) but when it comes it hits me HARD! I feel like my heart is about to beat out of my chest, breathing becomes short, my mind races and I just can't relax, sometimes I just want to breakdown and cry. 

My husband is beyond amazing and busts his ass at work so I don't have to and I LOVE being able to stay home and raise our daughter, (seriously best job in the world) so where is this coming from? I have always been an over-thinker and worry wart so maybe that's where it comes from but in all honesty I am fine then BOOM there it is out of the blue.....and it just won't go away...well eventually it does but its usually there for quite some time! Like 95% of the time I don't know where its even coming from....I just wish I knew how to make it stop and get my mind to shut off! It's not something I deal with daily just comes and goes randomly....when I was working it was much worse but now, I just don't know...I really wish I did so I could just shut it off...I just want it to go away!

Maybe there is something somewhere deep down in the back of my mind that is making me feel like this, I just wish I could pin it down....there are days I know exactly what its from but the days I don't are the worst cause I just keep thinking about it trying to figure out what is causing it and I just cant relax and try and fix it. But for now, I guess I will just deal with it when it comes and maybe along the way will figure out how to make it all better

show & tell Monday

First time I am linking up w. Becky over @ From Mrs. to Mama for show and tell Monday-  come link up!






1.Are you married? If so when did you get married, and tell us about your special day. If not? How would you describe your dream wedding?  Yes! July 17, 2010. It was a perfect summer day. We got married at a little church that only does weddings and we had our reception at a gorgeous local golf course. I couldn't have asked for a better day


2.Show us some wedding pictures. Either yours or of some that you love-









3. How about the engagement? Tell us your story. If not engaged, what's your dream proposal?  

 I did not want an elaborate way for him to ask me, so basically nothing in public or anything of that sort I dont like a lot of attention! So, I had a pretty bad day @ work and was just in a foul mood...when I got home he met me @ my then apt and had a `gift` for me...I opened it up and was like oh how pretty a jewelry box...and he was like well uh are you going to read it? And it said `I want to spend the rest of my life with you will you marry me` and it had the date February 29, 2009...it was absolutely perfect and exactly how I would want it 


4. Show us your wedding rings or an engagement photo! If not engaged/married ... show us your "dream" ring. 




5. Tell us why you think marriage doesn't work out for so many? What can we do to make things last    
Communication and trust! I feel if you dont have either of those it will never work out.

County fair

I love doing fairs and festivals 'locally' so we decided a few weeks ago to head to one of the many county fairs here in our area. So last Saturday since hubs was working Bre and I headed out to my parents, we picked up my mom & aunt and off we went...

We went early in the day so we could enjoy the beautiful weather and not have to deal with huge crowds & teenaged kids, also can't pass up $3 to get in before 2...we also met up with my friend and her little girl.

It was a perfect day not too busy and it was such perfect weather to be out and about. We walked around to all the animal exhibits and saw cows, horses, chickens, goats, sheep, llamas, pigs etc. There was also a small car show going on so we got to see some cool cars. We were there for probably 3 hours. Next year I'm hoping to go again and to maybe go to a few others that are around. Of course I forgot my camera at home but Bre was a little under the weather so she was in the stroller the whole time!

This fall I am looking forward to many local fall festivals as well! So maybe ill be able to get some good pictures then!

Playdate fun

Our last summer playdate was @ Soergel Orchards, this was my first time there but have been wanting to go there for sometime. It is such a cute little place with play houses, a little 'petting zoo', a store, a place to get some food and so much more.

It's so great to see how all our little babies have grown in the past year. Just seeing them run around and actually playing with each other and any other kids that may be around! As I said before I feel so thankful to have been connected with these amazing mommies.

Throughout the year our 'original' group has gained more mommies who are amazing as well. I know this fall we prob won't have a playdate every week with school and such but I'm hoping we can get together a few times a month, even for  MNO here and there! It was a beautiful day w great friends.

all our babies...oldest just turned 2  & youngest just turned 1

thankful

Despite this summer funk I've been in, I was reminded this weekend how lucky I am to have met some amazing  ladies thanks to Twitter (and from blogging).  Being a SAHM its hard to meet new people that are in the 'same boat' as you and completely understand when you can't make it to something! It's also nice to have a great group of friends that are going through a lot of the same things (or already have gone through) as you with kiddos! Or just when you need advice about things or just chat with! 

We all connected through Twitter and got together last year when our babies were about 5months or so.....and now they're all little toddlers! There have been lot of playdates since we have all first met and because of schedule conflits or something else, I unfortunately have only been able to make it to a few but that is going to change!

This weekend we celebrated the last first birthday and it was so great to see all the ladies and their kiddies again. Knowing they're going to have friends wonderful as they grow up!

Normally when it comes to meeting new people I can tend to be quiet and I guess you could say shy...but with these ladies I felt comfortable right away and it felt like I've known them for longer than I have! I am so thankful for social media for connecting me with this amazing group of mommies!

Saturday Laughs

Photobucket



1- When Breanna doesnt want to eat or drink something she closes her eyes and shakes her head no and waves her hand back & forth really fast 

2- Breanna is a babbling machine lately she does NOT shut-up we are in big trouble when she actually does start talking

3- She is in LOVE w her sock monkey-in-a-box she gets so excited when it pops out of the box she squeals and says gen gen 

4- She tries to feed Molly her play food and Molly usually takes it and runs away w it

5- When Molly chases her tail Breanna starts spinning around and just laughs and laughs and usually ends up falling over and just laughing hysterically

call me crazy...

But I am over summer! Dont get me wrong I like warm weather and vacations however I am just ready for some cooler weather! I never really have been one for extremely hot temps(90*+)....give me 60*-70* and I am happy! This summer has just been WAY too hot for my liking which made me not want to really do much...I just can't handle the heat! 

I just love everything about fall! The food, the colors, the clothes, the smells, the weather and the activities! However I am not a huge fan of what comes after I mean I can deal w winter cause I've dealt with it for 32 years plus I love the holidays, Christmas def is my favorite! This year us definitely going to be fun since Bre knows what's going on and is mobile! 

Plans for this fall will most likely be pumpkin patches, trick or treating, taking a trip to Alabama (to visit my sister) hopefully some playdates & I'm sure lot more! Anyone else excited for fall?
