Live. Laugh. Love.

Yesterday I had to drive up to Prescott to get the kids due to traffic. I drove by myself and so I had a lot of time to think. Here is what I figured out. I am a lucky girl. I have a job that I enjoy well enough. Maybe not love but like I guess. I have two of the most amazing children on the planet. They are TRULY the best thing that ever happened to me. They make me laugh and they make me cry and they give me a reason to live my life. I have been blessed with an amazing man who loves me. He takes care of me without expectations. He just does. He also lets me love him in return. I have great friends who are there for me and laugh with me and cry with me. I have it all.

Seeing two car accidents yesterday made me think about how quickly everything can just be taken away. I don't often enough just sit and realize the full entirety of how lucky I am. Today I am.

4 Months

Yesterday signaled 4 months of Brian and I dating. That is kind of a big milestone for me. I know that sounds sad and it is but since the divorce I have yet to maintain a relationship this long. We had a nice romantic night and toasted to many more to come. I am honestly still terrified but I am holding on for the ride!

I get the kids back tonight. Only 2 days though. I have been missing them like crazy lately and I wish I had them more. I feel like I am missing everything.

First Day of First Grade

Today was Julianna's first day of first grade. She was adorable this morning. Which wasn't surprising. She was independent too. I was all ready to go with her and walk her in but NO she just wanted to be dropped off in front and go in herself. She said her day was great and she loved it. I am so proud of her.

Cameron went to a movie with his dad. He is such a sweet heart. They stopped by my office to pick up some paperwork and Cameron just loved all over me. He is not going to be so independent next year when he goes to school. Ha-ha.

My day *other than the kids* sucked pretty damn bad. Sometimes I just wish life would give me a break. A good one. Oh well... I guess I will concentrate on the good things. Like the pics above....

Joining the crowd

As I have grown up and apart from my friends it seems we are relying more on the internet to keep in touch. While I don't get to see anyone as often as I'd like or even call as often as I'd like it seems that blogging is the way to go lately. For the last year I have watched several of my friends lives unfold in front of me. I have gotten to hear about and see more details that we could possible catch up on in a phone call or a quick seldom had lunch or dinner. I have decided to join the crowd and hop on the blogging train. I can only hop to be as adept at it as everyone else seems to be. So here it goes... what's new with me?

Cameron: Still a crazy little kid, growing strong and learning fast. We are taking him to his first concert on Friday night. Toby Keith and Trace Adkins. Toby was his sisters first concert so it is now a tradition. I can't wait to see how he does.

Julianna: Tomorrow will be her first day of first grade. Don't worry I will be taking a TON of pictures! Brian took her shopping for her first day of school outfit. She chose a head to toe coordinating outfit with rhinestones and tie. Just wait-it is adorable.

Me: I am doing great. Work is just alright. It could be better. All in all it is good. I just moved into a new apartment. It is FANTASTIC!! I love everything about it. It is beautiful and perfect for me and the kids.

That is it for us for now. Stay tuned.
