About Me

Jared and I have been married two years now. In November we will have been together 9 years. Crazy to think. We definitely grew up together and I think that's what makes us work so well. We had a daughter in June and we're not sure why we didn't do so sooner. We love her with our life. She is the best thing that's ever happened to us. I love having my own family. We live in Fayetteville and LOVE IT. We are always back and forth on whether or not we'll move back to Alma. I see us back down there one day but I see our life always being in NWA. If only we could pack our families up and move them up here!

Spring Time is Here!

Well first of all, let me talk about myself. Ha! And Jared. Usually I do not like spring time because that means summer is coming. I'm a winter LOVER so I always dread summer/heat. It's weird because I love swimming so much! Anyway, I'm actually loving this weather. I don't dread summer because I have a plan.. I am transforming this body into something I won't be ashamed of anymore! I've never been more determined in my life. I have always had an excuse not to have to wear a swimsuit because I didn't have a baby. Now I have a sweet little girl who I know will LOVE swimming as much as her mama!

So Jared and I have been going non-stop for the past month or so on the elliptical machine. Last Monday we added Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred to it. That lady is crazy!!!! But I'm down 9 lbs and super excited about it. I am eating healthy and I just FEEL really good. Thank goodness for Jared! He is my support system (always). When I want to skip he doesn't allow it. I have about 11 more lbs to get to a happy place on the scale but I have a feeling my body is gonna take more than the 30 Day Shred for the sculpting I want.

Anyway, the most important part to me is being a healthy person for Ruby. I want natural energy and to feel good and live a long life. Exercise will always be a part of Jared and I's life no matter what. I will enforce it into Ruby's as well. I mean I won't have her on the elliptical at a year old but when she gets older she will know how important it is.

Ok on another note, Jared is in bed and has been all night with the dirty stomach bug. Poor guy. I feel bad for him. He is never sick. I pray Ruby or I don't get it. I already pulled out a stash of breast milk to hopefully boost her little immune system to fight it off. I hear it's highly contagious.

Now onto the princess. Wow. She is getting so big. She's doing so much I don't even know where to start. She's crawling all over the place. It's so cute because she will follow me all around the house just laughing at herself. She's bumped her little head a lot. We are learning not to make a big deal about it so she doesn't freak out. Last Friday she hit her eye. Jared thought she would have a black eye but it was just good and red for the night.

Let's see... She absolutely loves being outside. It immediately calms her down. It's like a different world for her. She also LOVES GOING PLACES! Loves people watching. I hope I don't eat my words but seriously every time we go anywhere she never makes a peep. She thoroughly enjoys just sitting in her stroller taking it all in.

She's really learning how to get her way. She's been really testing Jared and I. She is getting harder and harder to get to bed. That's a struggle I'm just going to have to pray about and just take action rather than talk about though.

I just love that baby girl. She's my whole entire world.

On another note, I have American idol playing and really am not impressed with any of them. Are you all? I think it might be because I feel I have way too much on my mind and plate than to think about tv. I'm just do busy. Haha!

Ok that's all. Hope you all have a nice rainy weekend!
