5 Years Ago Today...
I married my best friend. After nearly three years of dating, lots of ups and downs, lots of counseling, we got it together and admitted we were right for each other. Today we enjoyed a day to ourselves. A friend of ours watched Andrew while we went to lunch, shopped at IKEA (love it!!), then went to see Evan Almighty. (Great movie, highly recommend it!) Then we came home, played with the crazy monkey boy far past his bedtime, then sat down to watch the wedding video. WOW, have we changed. We were so young, so innocent...our parents talked about grandbabies as if it would come so easily...God has certainly brought us through our share of struggles. Today, and every day, I am so very, very grateful that I am sharing this journey with such an incredible man. Baby Chris, I love you. I don't say it enough, but I love you more every day. Happy anniversary, baby. Here's to 50 more years.

Catching Up
Whew! So much has been going on here...I can't believe I've been so horrible at blogging. Shame on me! I probably have no one even checking here anymore. Wow. So, here's what's new:
* Andrew started walking (finally) at @ 14.5 months. Stood up one day (May 4, 2007) and took 10 steps across the room. Hasn't crawled since and is trying to run. he's down to one nap a day and needs constant attention, since he like to climb everything now and his favorite activity is to chase the cats and dog. *sigh* My life is BUSY, but I am so thankful I have this little boy in my life.
* August 1 (Baby B's should-be-due date) looms ahead and I struggle daily (sometimes MANY times daily) to keep my composure. I cry a lot and take out my frustrations on my hubby a LOT. Its a wonder I'm still married. I just can't seem to get past my pain lately.
* Speaking of still being married, our 5-year anniversary is next Friday the 22nd). I can't believe we've been married FIVE YEARS. That just seems weird to me.
* I got a part-time teaching job for next fall. This is a WONDERFUL thing. I will get benefits and will work every other day. (M-W-F one week, T-Th the next, and so on.) I am so excited about affordable insurance that includes maternity, should we decide to tempt fate and TTC sometime soon. I have serious baby fever.
* Andrew got his first haircut yesterday. I was kinda sad. Now he looks more like a little boy and less like a baby. Where did my newborn go?!?!
So what's new with you?
