First thing's first... Some pictures of the bug. (I am turning into one of those moms who constantly talk about their babies, but too bad so sad. He is too cute.) Everyday is something new with him.
He loves going for walks and looking at the ducks.
Taking baths... Grrrr!
And staring at the Christmas Tree we/I just put up.
When I was young(er) and single I kept thinking life could not get any better. I loved my life. I could do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Then I met Matt and I changed my mind. I thought surely it can't get any better than this. I get an unlimited supply of kisses and I never have to sleep alone again. But I have to say, this little guy has stolen my heart. I wake up every morning between 5 and 6 and I look forward to seeing him because I miss him when I sleep. It's funny how life gets better and better as you go. I love being a mama... everyday I soak it all in.
As some of you may know Matt is going to try out to play professional football in the spring. He has been working really hard trying to get back into shape and training. I blessed to have the kind of job that I love going to everyday, and I want the same for him. I am so proud of him. It is going to be a lot of work, but I know it will pay off in the end. (Especially after I watched E!'s THS on Football Wives) If it all works out I'm going to have to get some bigger sunglasses, a boob job, and tummy tuck (damn baby ;)!

We are so blessed to have good jobs, and we have enough money to pay our bills. But money is tight, and sometimes we can't afford everything we would like to have. There are a lot of people who are in worse situations than we are in right now. Lately I have found myself getting caught up on little things that in the big scheme of life don't really matter. So yeah, maybe Matt watches Sports Center a little more often than I would like, and maybe he leaves the cupboard open after he gets a glass out, and maybe he buys stuff that I don't think we desperately need (okay this is no longer going the direction I want it to)... but he is a great husband and a great daddy. WHY am I so focused on the negative things??? I have to remind myself that in the end none of that other stuff really matters.
I am making a commitment to myself to have a new perspective on things. I am head over heels in love with my husband. He is romantic, smart, funny, smooookin hot (see photo below) and he loves me more than anything in the world (even more than Sports Center) Matt gave up a lot of things that are important to him to make me happy. Sometimes I get caught up in the sacrifices I have to make and forget that he makes sacrifices too. I'm so grateful that we came into each other's lives.
We have each other. We have TC. Not much else matters.
