It's Been Awhile...

Okay...so, I watched a not so "friendly" show and it's keeping me up tonight. I won't say which show because most of you will probably laugh that I let it bother me. I feel like a little kid but that's life. I thought posting on my blog would be a good distraction and help me fall asleep. We'll see!

Well, I don't really do much writing on my blog but I'm having some trouble with my photos at the moment so I'll give it a try.
A lot has happened since October. We celebrated Greg's 30th birthday on November 14th...I can't believe he's that old! (hee hee j/k).
We celebrated Thanksgiving with Greg's family and then took a nice long trip to Houston for Christmas. This was Isaac's first long road trip. He did really great despite the fact that the poor little guy had two teeth cut through on the way down and then got very sick (first trip to the ER sick) on the way back up. And yes people, I'm talking about a 20 hour drive...need I say more. Other than that, our time in Houston was lovely. I love being with my family and that includes my bestfriend Aly. My quest to have my family and Aly move to Colorado is still on-going. Then we get back to Colorado in time to celebrate the New Year with Greg's family and head up to a cabin in Creed, CO.
Did I mention that Isaac turned 1 year old on January 2nd!!! And he had 3 not 2 not 1 but 3 birthday parties!! Man, I which I could do that. =) My little boy is a year old. I really can't believe it. This year has gone by so quickly. I can't believe that for this past year I haven't "worked" but have invested every moment into my son's life. I can honestly say this has been the most fulfilling year of my life. Before motherhood I was never moved to tears easily. That all changed after Isaac...now I cry for anything! It's really pathetic. Anywhoo, the reason for saying that is that I was an emotional mess a couple days before his 1st birthday. I was talking to Greg about it and was telling him how I heard of these people that wouldn't celebrate birthdays not even for the kids. Instead they would have the kids publicly thank their parents for giving birth to them. Don't get me wrong thats nice and all but I can't imagine as parent taking all the glory on the day that I was blessed with my child's life. I am the one that this thankful...I am so thankful that he is in my life and I want to honor him. So yeah...I told you guys...I'm all mushy now.
Moving on to another Big milestone...Isaac took his first couple steps the other day!! One day he took 2 steps and the next he worked all the way up to 8 or 9 steps. He still isn't an avid walker but he is getting there. Very exciting! Also, he is now wanting to feed himself - nice and clean!
As for me...I'm praising God. For those of you who know my testimony can understand when I say that I never ever thought I would be where I am right now in life. I am so thankful. Yes, there have been trials and yes things are difficult, even as write I this there are situations that I'm not sure how to handle, but I am really in a season of thanks. I want God to know that I haven't forgotten that He pulled me out of the miry clay. I haven't forgotten how He saved me from death. I haven't forgotten how he restored my soul and was there for me when noone else was. I am so thankful. I don't want the worries of this world to blind me of all the blessings God has and is giving me. Praise God!

Well, I think that is about all. I'm going to try to get some rest. I will post some pictures as soon as I am able. Till next time...
