I'm still here...

I just realized it's been a while since I posted... Things have been pretty busy around here! Here's a bit of an update...

The Dwelling Place and Mom2Mom have both started back up at church and I couldn't be more excited about both of them this year!!! We're doing another Beth Moore study at Dwelling Place called Living Beyond Yourself. It's all about the Fruit of the Spirit and it's going to be great. I can't wait to see what I'm going to get out of it. I'm also serving as a table leader at Mom2Mom this year. This is a huge step out of my box but I know God is going to do great things with it! I'm normally so nervous with meeting a bunch of new people, leading anything, etc. etc. but prayer has REALLY worked on this one. I've had such a peace the last 2 weeks and all of the fears I thought I had going into it have dissipated. I have an awesome table of amazing moms and I'm so excited about it!

I've been busy trying to get things ready for Tyler's 1st birthday party this weekend. How in the world is it already his first birthday?!?! Where has the time gone?!?! I was just telling Chad last night and although he didn't really understand I'm sure other mommies can relate... I've been thinking about Tyler's birthday and his birthday party for months now - months! Yet it seems like I have completely procrastinated on the actual planning and putting together of the party until just this last week! I'm leaving everything to the last minute and it's driving me insane. I think though, deep down, that I just don't want my baby to turn one. I know it's such an exciting time but he'll officially not be a little baby anymore : ( It was this day (Oct 1st) last year that I went to my weekly Dr's appointment and he made arrangements for me to go into the hospital on Wed, Oct 3rd to be induced. I spent the rest of the day finishing up things for work and was officially starting my maternity leave and spent Tuesday finishing up all the little things around the house and everything I needed to get done before going to the hospital. It's just crazy to reminisce on these things... Here's a picture of me the night before I went into the hospital. Chad and I went on one last date being a family of 2.
