Another cold, snowy day...

Well, as I sit here drinking my second cup of coffee, watching the snow fall outside and the tempeture drop to the low 20's-- I start to get annoyed by all the cold weather and wonder if spring will EVER come... Then, I hear Connor and Ansley in the other room laughing and playing, the dishwasher going, the sink (that continues to drip) that I need Grady to fix, the sound of normal-sy  and realize that it's enough to make me smile =)

I haven't blogged much lately because I have started reading (yeah, I have never been much of a reader). I read "Dear John" and my good friend Jill and I went to watch the movie last Saturday (a nice-much needed- girls night out). We have decided now we are going to read "The Time Traveler's Wife" and then rent the movie for our next GNO-- I'm excited and glad I have a friend like her =)

Grady has started working from 5am to 2 so for the first time since we have lived in IL he has been home before dark during the week-- I love it BUT that means I only have till 2pm to get all my housework done and not the usual 5 or 6 that I've gotten so used to... Change (in this case) is a good thing!!
We still don't know when or where we will be stationed (grrrr!) but I'm trying not to consume myself "not knowings" and "what-ifs" and just let what happen, happen.
I just realized its ONLY 8:45am!! It seems sooo much later than that-- I suppose I got lost in the randomness of this blog but I thought I needed to update everyone on the "Big Nothings" or the "Little Everythings" (however you look at it) that have been going on in my life...

P.S. Next week is Miss Ansley's 1st birthday-- I can't believe my princess will be a year old already *tear*...

Foto Friday!!!

It's a girl thing!!!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend =)

Friday Nite Rambling

Wow, I just realized that this is my first blog of 2010! I hope all of you are enjoying the new year so far. I have been on a creative kick the past few weeks-- I start a project and get half-way thru and have an idea for a new one!! One of my goals this year is to finish things I start...

Lately, I have been letting the excitment and anxiousness about moving get the best of me. Grady hasn't even gotten orders yet and the suspense is killing me!! I would like to know in advance (more than two months, at least) if we are going to move across the country, ya know? I know he is getting tired of me asking him, "have you heard anything?" Honestly, I am starting to annoy myself.  When we got orders to Chicago, we had 1 month to prepare, find a house, and move before he started work. I'm not sure I can handle all the rushing around again-- it was SOOOO stressful last time!! I really should put all my crafting aside and focus on going thru boxes (that are STILL sitting in the garage from the last move) and donating to Good-Will. I can't count on our next house having as much storage as our current home, therefore, I've got to get rid of stuff!!! Anyone want to help!?!

I have no clue what our next house will look like or even what state it will be in BUT I am ready to be there and make a new house our home. Having to move every 2 1/2 to 3 years really gives me something to look forward to-- its like a blank canvas and turing a new house into a home is sooo much fun.

Maybe I should journal all my creative ideas and keep them till we find a new house...

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
