I have been blogging like once a month lately hoping that life is going to slow down any minute so I can catch up. Well this past week reality set in and I realized LIFE IS NEVER GOING TO SLOW DOWN. I have been going full blast with school assignments, house stuff, weddings, showers, birthday parties, holidays, family reunions, and the gym/working out. Yes!! that's right I said GYM. We joined the Y 2 weeks ago and I'm proud to announce that I am officially a member of a gym for the first time ever in my life. I have enjoyed going to spin classes and step/workout classes for the first time. I have lost 0 pounds so far but my body is looking way more toned.
Here are some other things that are going on around here and definitely getting in the way of my blogging...
1.) I have finals this week (yes, I should be studying) so that has me busy enough.
2.) Carter has surgery on Friday and I am a nervous wreck about it!!
3.) I started cleaning my aunt's house once a week, which takes about 3.5 hours. She has a really big house, but I'm working on blinds, ceiling fans and baseboards and it is hard stuff!! I need the money though and everyone who knows me knows I'm a germ/clean freak so it is something I enjoy doing.
4.) I have had weddings and baby showers taking up my weekends lately. And if I'm not at one of those I'm trying to spend some time with my kiddos in our new and improved backyard. Jeremy built us a fence and we finally got a net for our trampoline so our backyard is our new "park". We have a playhouse, swingset, trampoline and swimming pool and should be getting a sand box soon.
5.) School has been tough and on top of the classes I'm taking this semester I have been trying to work in some floater classes to get me through school a little faster. So as soon as finals are over this week, I will be starting the May mini term Monday morning and going to class 5 hours every day for the next 3 weeks straight.
6.) Carter is into everything!!! And requiring a lot more work to watch these days!! He turned 11 months old yesterday and I haven't even taken his 11 month pics yet, but I promise that post will be coming soon because there is a lot to share. He will be 1 in less than 4 weeks and I am trying to start working on his birthday party.
7.) I have been gathering stuff around my house for a huge yard sale my whole entire family is going to be having at the end of May. I have taken a lot of those things and donated them to those who lost everything in the horrible tornado last week.
Speaking of that...I can hardly watch videos or footage without pouring tears. I am so heart-broken about Tuscaloosa where I spent 4.5 years of college. My parents went to Alabama and my brother went to school and law school there. My little sister is a senior there right now and was down there and less than a half mile away from 15th street last Wednesday when the storms hit. They have let school out completely for the semester and moved graduation back to August now. I am very thankful she and all of my other friends and family are safe, but my heart breaks for those who have lost loved ones and everything they own. My little sister continues to tell me stories of friends of friends who are still missing. It's so sad!
I'm sure there are many more things I'm leaving off this list, but I'm sure you can see how busy we've been and how busy we're going to be. Life is just not going to slow down any time soon.
So I'll leave you with Easter pics and events (since that was supposed to be a post of mine last week). Ugh! We dyed Easter eggs with cousins, had 2 Easter egg hunts with mine and Jeremy's families, Easter bunny came, and then I tried to get some pics of my kids in their Easter outfits, but it was hot outside and they had already eaten lunch and were ready to change and play and I made them sit and take pics. Needless to say they weren't very enthused!
