1. I’m going to start doing ToT. I’m committed to it!I figure it can’t be that hard to come up with 10 semi-interesting things to talk about each Tuesday…right?
2. Speaking of things I’m committed to…I just started doing the Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred…for the um…100th time? But I’m committed to it this time. I promise! I’ve got a fancy little check off chart and my last day of it is March 5. Just in time for our 3rd wedding anniversary! My reward for sticking with it and finishing is (hopefully) losing my last 5 lbs of Will weight and a brand new pair of jeans. A pair that doesn’t have gigantic, patched holes or doesn’t stretch out horribly after wearing them once. Yay!
2. How stinking cute is he?! We went to the park and he was so, so, so excited to have found a rock to play with and beat all over the playground equipment with. I love his little personality that’s shining through.

4. I started watching a little boy part time this week and so far it’s going really well. He’s Will’s age and they really get along well! Will seemed SO excited to have him around on Monday and I’m looking forward to having him back here tomorrow.
5. I really thought I’d miss teaching more than I do when I quit last May. I thought I’d feel like a little piece of me was missing without teaching. But you know what? I don’t. I don’t miss it one tiny little bit. Reading about the new STAAR test that will replace the TAKS made me so grateful that I’m not teaching anymore. I love my job as a Mommy and a photographer and I feel completely fulfilled.
6. Our small group is studying Revelation and it’s been inspiring and FUN so far. We’re still without a study, but just reading through the chapters and discussing them in depth with our group. If you’ve got any suggestions for bible studies, send ‘em my way!
7. One more of the boy…isn’t he handsome?

8. Gosh he looks grown up in that picture. I really, really, really need to start planning for his first birthday. Anyone have any great party-planning sites they can point me toward?
9. My parents are watching Will this weekend and Greg and I are going to take advantage of the free babysitting to see a movie…I want to see Dear John. Greg? Not so much
I guess I’ll probably have to compromise and see something different with him. Maybe one of my girlfriends will take me to go see it!
10. Almost done proofing this little sweetheart’s pictures…be on the lookout for them soon, mama! ![]()

Happy Tuesday, all!


hey lovely…. HOW CUTE IS THAT WILLIAM???? dear JOY!!! I can’t wait to see him…. love your ToT and am looking forward to it tomorrow… 30 Day Shred… started it (again for me as well) on Saturday…. love it, love the burn (i’m talking myself into that one)… lol… Bible Studies; Oh, Lib, we are looking hard for a study to do on Revelations…. I’m expecting to find one, as there are many of us as church that are wanting to dive into that book…. last year we did a GREAT study called “Being a Contagious Christian”… it’s by Lee Strobel (i hope i spelled that right)…. and I loved it…. it is based on witnessing and being able to share one’s testimony, and being a link in the chain that leads someone to God and their own salvation…. it was fabulous….. check it out if you are looking for a new study…. know i’m thinking of you and loving you dearly… xoxoxoxo
