<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Where do I even begin? These three years have absolutely flown by. I cannot believe what a big boy you are. You brighten all of our days and will always be our first baby. You made me a Mother and I am so glad that God chose me to be your Mommy.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Eli, you have such a kind heart. You tell me that I am beautiful all the time. You run up to my leg and hug me so tight and say, "I love you SOOO much, Mommy!" You care so much about others. You are constantly thinking of your cousins. You are especially protective of your "Ezzie" and you insist on buying him a prize every time you get something at the store. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You tell some of the funniest stories and you laugh hysterically while you are telling it. Sometimes you hit your knees and bend over doing this kind of silent laugh...it almost brings me to tears it is so funny! </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You love being outside. Our weekends are spent with you either swimming, playing in the sprinkler, helping Daddy mow the grass, driving your Jeep, or riding your bicycle to the neighborhood clubhouse. You are such a big boy on that bike. You go really fast and Mommy has a hard time keeping up with you!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You are finally potty trained! We have been working really hard on this. You are absolutely precious in your little Spiderman tighty whities! </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You love your little brother so much. You are such a "big boy helper!" You go and get diapers, wipes, and baby butt paste for Mommy to change Ethan's diaper. I have also caught you on several occasions talking to Ethan and calming him if he is crying and I haven't gotten to him yet. You say in the sweetest voice, "Hey, Brother! It's OK Brother!" while trying to give him his pacifier. I can see the love you have for him in your eyes. I hope you always feel that love for one another. I can't wait to see you two grow up together!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You are a total Daddy's boy right now. You want to be wherever your Daddy is. You love riding with Daddy in his truck. You love Bass Pro Shop and Tractor Supply. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You are so into Superheroes and the "bad men" right now. You have tons of action figures and you fly them around and make them fight and line them up in rows on the rug in the living room. You have this hilarious face that you make when your action figures are fighting. I love watching you play and just listening to some of the things you say. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Your favorite movies right now are Big Hero 6, Captain America, and Polar Express. I can't tell you the number of times we have watched those movies. I have grown to dislike Polar Express we have watched it so many times! </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You are such a smart boy. You know your ABC's and you can count to 15. You know most all of your shapes and you know pretty much every color. You love going to chapel at "school" and your favorite song in chapel is "B-I-B-L-E!" Your best friend at daycare is Jackson and we hear all about you guys playing "bad man" at school. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You still cry when Mommy takes you to school. I hope that ends soon. It still breaks my heart as much as the first day I left you at daycare. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I pray that you will always have a kind, caring heart. I am so thankful that you are mine! </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Happy 3rd Birthday, sweet boy! Mommy loves you with all my heart to infinity!<br>

I had no idea what I was in for! I kept texting josh freaking out because I didn't have anything to wear! I'm 25 weeks pregnant, so most of my clothes are not really fitting my belly right now!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My mom showed up at my house with a wrapped gift and a second card...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrAAzkhh00am8Yqwo8gG_fh9vAmcoKeLhgFKuloz1fFT_vjpMNlkc9rwsLwWtALXUw1quk6uwtUxZc5ao3t1ukjNUhgXGVl_P2CIiuGGeFwJN87eCboHM0k0IMCZGvSFLhbzHe_gVyYSY/s640/blogger-image-439051808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrAAzkhh00am8Yqwo8gG_fh9vAmcoKeLhgFKuloz1fFT_vjpMNlkc9rwsLwWtALXUw1quk6uwtUxZc5ao3t1ukjNUhgXGVl_P2CIiuGGeFwJN87eCboHM0k0IMCZGvSFLhbzHe_gVyYSY/s640/blogger-image-439051808.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiWNCgRy-25hMEgn7lb3rkNQsWlrltelssE00Tm0CJ-lGfpNRwMXW207bk3K9BQocnlwtvyq8oPxlR4kujuEihstsWc3PSYR49G19_qVoJTjqi0QOvfwS8ftKScwEMd7eaANUCP8En31ES/s640/blogger-image--419274371.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiWNCgRy-25hMEgn7lb3rkNQsWlrltelssE00Tm0CJ-lGfpNRwMXW207bk3K9BQocnlwtvyq8oPxlR4kujuEihstsWc3PSYR49G19_qVoJTjqi0QOvfwS8ftKScwEMd7eaANUCP8En31ES/s640/blogger-image--419274371.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A brand new outfit for our date.

His eyebrows droop and mouth turns down. It's actually one of the cutest things I have ever seen. One of his teachers at school told me, "If looks could kill..." well, you know how that ends...<br />
<br />
Right now, Eli is obsessed with the lawn mower, his Dada's truck, Mickey Mouse, and Elmo. We frequently have very long talks (I actually just listen) where he rambles on about Dada, riding the lawn mower and riding in Dada's truck. He has the sweetest little voice...I could listen to it forever. He often will say a sentence and chuckle really loud like it's the most hilarious thing ever!<br />
<br />
Right now, Eli can count to 8 with me. He knows several colors, although he must really like the color Yellow because he talks about that one A LOT!<br />
<br />
Right now, he can say his ABC's with me. I don't think he could say them on his own, but he says them right along with me. My favorite part is when he bobs his head to the "L,M,N,O,P" part!<br />
<br />
Right now, his favorite foods are pasta, mac and cheese, hot dogs, and pecan spin wheels. <br />
<br />
Right now, we are down to him only getting his paci at bedtime. I sneak it away from him in the morning after he wakes up. If he thinks about it, he tries to pitch a fit for it. I just tell him that he is a big boy and try to divert his attention to something else. Out of sight, out of mind. It works like a charm.<br />
<br />
Right now, he loves going to the park. He loves swinging, sliding and climbing. <br />
<br />
Right now, he drives his big wheel motorcycle through the house at very fast speeds! He makes really sharp turns, really fast! He likes to slide around on the hardwood floors. I let him. It makes him happy and frankly, I love watching him. <br />
<br />
Right now, almost every Saturday morning, Dada takes Eli in his truck and they go and grab breakfast. Eli will dress in his wind suit pants and baseball cap just like Dada. You can tell that he looks forward to riding in Dada's truck. It's their little tradition.<br />
<br />
Right now, my heart is exploding with love for this sweet blessing in our lives. He is such a joy. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart. <br />
<br />
He is an answer to our prayers.<br />

So, yeah...I'm just a little behind on blogging. My life has been a whirlwind since this past May. We moved back to Alabama, I started a new job, we bought a house...the list goes on and on and on...<br />
<br />
My family usually always vacations together. Our favorite thing to do is to vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida. We are familiar with the area, the beaches are absolutely beautiful, and we have a wonderful resort that we love to stay at. We almost always go the week of mine and Josh's anniversary and Josh's birthday.<br />
<br />
We loaded up and took all three of our munchkins. My extended family got to go with us this year. My Aunt, Uncle, 3 of my cousins and their kids all came along for the trip. It was so much fun. I wish we could travel together every year! The more the merrier!<br />
<br />
Eli absolutely loved the huge pool there. I was afraid he would be less than thrilled since we have a pool, but he loved the steps at the entrance of the pool. He would step off and kind of roll around in the water. His little giggle just cracks me up. We attempted to try the ocean and Eli was not having it. He hated the ocean, he hated the sand, he hated everything about it. Maybe next time...<br />
<br />
One of the highlights of the trip was going to Pier Park and visiting the shops and restaurants there. It is such a pretty place. So much to do and see. We love the Miracle Strip Amusement Park. They have a huge Ferris Wheel, a Scrambler, Sea Dragon ride and much more! I always feel like a kid when I go there! I run to get in line and get sad when it's time to leave! I'm really a kid at heart...not a 30 year old!<br />
<br />
We spent most days just lounging by the pool. The kids were really good. We took shifts staying in the room with them at nap time or either they would nap in the strollers under an umbrella with that awesome ocean breeze blowing. I can just smell that salty air now. Nothing like it. At night, we either went out to eat or hung around the condo. Actually, I love hanging at the condo the best. One of the nights, all the girls gathered at our place and we had wine and played board games. It was quite hilarious! My husband was just shaking his head at all of us! He just doesn't understand what fun really is! Ha!<br />
<br />
My Mom watched Eli on the night of our 7 year wedding anniversary. That was really our first night out alone since Eli was born. We ate at Montego Bay Seafood Restaurant and then went to the arcade (again, we are kids at heart!) It was just nice to have a night out alone. 2 days later, we celebrated Josh's 33rd birthday! I picked up a Publix Cheesecake (yum) and we celebrated before hitting up the pool for some sun bathing. <br />
<br />
Can't wait to get back to the beach this summer! Always lots of fun memories made!<br />

This Christmas was just wonderful! For the past several years, we have lived out of state and getting home for the holidays was always an adventure. Christmas of 2012, we got bumped about 4 times from our flight. My Mom had to come and get us from Birmingham airport because we were on stand-by and didn't make the cut. The next morning, we were on stand-by again. We finally made it to Atlanta and we got bumped 2 more times. After spending all day in airports with a 6 month old, we finally got a flight to Fayetteville, Arkansas and rented a car to drive the rest of the way home to Tulsa. It was stressful and crazy and NOT a whole lot of fun! <br />
<br />
This year, we hosted Christmas with my family the weekend before Christmas. We didn't have to drive 12 hours to attend. We didn't have to fight lines in an airport. It was fantastic! I did not stress about the party. My decorating was done back in November, so I really had nothing to do besides clean a little and do a few last minute things. Not all of our family was able to attend, but we still had a great time. Lots of laughter, eating and fellowship. Sounds like the perfect party to me!<br />
<br />
Christmas Morning was so much fun. Eli didn't really know what was going on, but he did say, "Ho Ho Ho" a lot! When he woke up, we told him that Santa had brought him prizes...his little eyes lit up and he had the biggest grin on his face! Daddy led him to the living room and the first thing he did was go for the tool bench! Like father, like son! He definitely loves tools like his daddy! He picked up the drill and went to his tricycle and started drilling the screws in the seat. The boy is a genius, I tell you! <br />
<br />
Santa brought him the tool bench, a basketball goal, a T-Ball set, a Radio Flyer tricycle, a lego table, wooden blocks, lots of books and movies. We enjoyed getting to stay at home and play with all his new toys. No traveling on Christmas Day. Just us in our PJ's enjoying the day napping and watching movies! My family came by for a while to check out what Santa brought Eli and we cooked pigs in a blanket and cinnamon rolls. It was so yummy. I could eat my weight in pigs in a blanket! <br />
<br />
Santa brought Daddy a new Xbox One console and he brought Mommy a new Mac Computer. I was very shocked and so excited for my new computer! It was very much needed! I can actually blog now! <br />
<br />
Christmas 2014 is one to be remembered. It was our first year back home. Our first year in our new house. Our 2nd Christmas with our precious Eli. Many precious memories were made. Such a fantastic Christmas!<br />

<br />
Christmas was awesome this year. Eli was in his first Christmas Play at daycare. It was precious. He basically stood on stage like a deer in headlights...no movement, no singing, he just stared. It was quite hilarious! After we got him off stage, he danced, twirled and sang...go figure! <br />
<br />
We celebrated Christmas with my Mom's side of the family the Saturday before Christmas. I actually hosted this year and it was so much fun! Santa stopped by and we had food for days. We celebrated with Josh's family Monday night before Christmas. We had so much fun with both families. We opted to stay home on Christmas Day. I always hated having to go out and leave my new toys when I was younger. My family came by to check out what Santa brought for Eli and we had a nice little breakfast of cinnamon rolls and pigs in a blanket. So good!<br />

My house was a complete wreck after all the partying, but I wouldn't have it any other way! It was so much fun and actually, I didn't stress about hosting the party. It was just a fun gathering of all the people that I love. Looking forward to all the future Christmas memories that we will make. It's a Beautiful Life! <br />

I've seen a lot of people have great results from it. I just ordered and it should be here the 24th for a tentative start date of January 27th. Anyone want to do it with me! It's always better to have support :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqoYfVmur_T1mjecB3sjktfFIs02kUp9NociQoDezLImTc7X-LYxKIaddwJFC6rfGQMv9-Afi3h0TR7GDf2yjdRCmJ8n6zcZNoKKerX4TkybZkX2JTtTpRoBGCWKmivMB744apj3M7Xdwj/s640/blogger-image--163996569.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqoYfVmur_T1mjecB3sjktfFIs02kUp9NociQoDezLImTc7X-LYxKIaddwJFC6rfGQMv9-Afi3h0TR7GDf2yjdRCmJ8n6zcZNoKKerX4TkybZkX2JTtTpRoBGCWKmivMB744apj3M7Xdwj/s640/blogger-image--163996569.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I also joined something called The Fresh 20. I'm very excited about this! Basically, they email you 5 days worth of meals that are clean/ healthy. They all use only 20 ingredients all together. They email you a shopping list. It's a no brainer! No excuses to not eat healthy. They make it so easy to follow. I will do a complete review after I begin. It's super cheap too. I signed up for 3 months and it was $18. Totally doable for most any income! I really want to teach Eli healthy eating habits. After all, we should eat to live not live to eat!! Tired of being tired and feeling bloated and swollen. It's time to get healthy again!

I've always just used free backgrounds and headers and usually spent half a day trying to figure out how to get it installed.

I constantly get messages that say my phone can't be "backed up" because there is not enough storage. I find myself in awkward situations where there is an awesome moment I need to capture and instead of capturing it, I'm trying to figure out what to delete! I also haven't done the latest update because I don't have enough memory...I just can't get rid of any pics or apps. I just can't...</div></div><div><br></div><div>I've been a busy lady over the last few months.

We found out we were moving back to Alabama, bought a house, moved 700 miles, unpacked AND planned my baby's first birthday party...all in a matter of 2 months! Needless to say, there were many all-nighters and without the help of my family, I couldn't have done it all.<div><br></div><div>Eli's first birthday was everything I wanted it to be. It was a wonderful day of fellowship with our close friends and family. We did a nautical/sailboat theme and I thought it turned out perfect! We cooked hot dogs, watched him eat his smash cake and swam in the pool. The rain held off for his party, thank goodness! Our sweet friend, Jenny, came and took pictures for me so that I could actually enjoy the day without worrying about getting the perfect shot of everything! </div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-jKPOpImLjFERdlC16IFARkJNqgUsgA5sCq1_3_Zt9p78-u9IHXtgqVUKY__K4f93YZzQROEcxfAJtM0WDpS_z8k4meXzJTl2fjJFOiqREuHu6XLg09oVFFdXsEZ-Py9J2ZdVUdciHSU6/s640/blogger-image-903541928.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-jKPOpImLjFERdlC16IFARkJNqgUsgA5sCq1_3_Zt9p78-u9IHXtgqVUKY__K4f93YZzQROEcxfAJtM0WDpS_z8k4meXzJTl2fjJFOiqREuHu6XLg09oVFFdXsEZ-Py9J2ZdVUdciHSU6/s640/blogger-image-903541928.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I worked for 2 hours on that "life ring" wreath!

It has to be the best Mongolian food ever! So yummy! <br />
<br />
After lunch, we drove around taking back roads in Tulsa. It's amazing how big of a place this is! We've been here over a year and a half and we still haven't seen it all! <br />
<br />
We visited a couple of Harley shops. My husband rides...I do not. I used to before I had Eli. If you met my husband in person, you would never dream that he owns a Harley. He is very preppy. He likes to dress up. He wears dress clothes to work every day, but he jumps on that Harley and looks like a natural!<br />
<br />
After the Harley shops we took Eli to the park. He loves the swing! He grins and giggles and it's the cutest thing! He did get a little startled by the huge fountain in the pond at the park. I have no idea why. That was our cue to go!<br />
<br />
~Jillian is kicking my tail!! I'm very excited to share some before and after pics in a few weeks! I can't stand her...but I love her too :)<br />
<br />
~ I'm also very excited to reveal some fabulous news in the next few weeks! Stay tuned! <br />
<br />
Have a great Monday! <br />

It has been so fun to post about the blessings in my life. I have so many and I feel so unworthy! <br />
<br />
<br />
Today, I am thankful for <a href="http://www.megan-amazinglove.blogspot.com/">Megan</a>! We met in preschool and were friends from the get-go. I have pictures from our kindergarten trip to the zoo...we both had on pink and white polka dot outfits!<br />
<br />
We have had so many fun times. One in particular sticks out...getting lost trying to find the "club." Dragging women out of Hogan's. That's all I'm saying...Megan, you know what I'm talking about! LOL! I'll also never forget our "Sips and Strokes" outings! MMMM...Morgan Creek Carlos wine. Yummy! HA!<br />
<br />
We went all through school together. Preschool through college. We cheered together in high school. She was my awesome base! We were the best... for real! Ha! We are both Registered Nurses and we even worked at the same hospital and same department for a while! <br />
<br />
Megan is such a lovable person. She has such a big heart. I have so many memories with her. We both got engaged the same year, 3 months apart. We got married the same year, 4 months apart! <br />
<br />
I'll never forget the way she told me she was pregnant with both her girls. With Bella, she drove to my office and gave me a Christmas card. It was May. I was confused. Inside was an ultrasound picture and it explained that I would be an "Aunt" in December! I was so excited! With Lucy, she told me at our sisters' Senior Toast before their prom! She told me in the parking lot and we had such a fun time! I was the only one that knew. She was telling her family the next day and didn't want me to find out from someone else. I literally did cartwheels! I was thrilled!<br />
<br />
She was so supportive during my infertility struggle. She went with me to my first appointment. I went to her house one evening and got her to give me a "trigger shot" (aka HCG injection) as part of my infertility plan. She was sensitive to my feelings and how she told me she was pregnant. She hurt for me and rejoiced with me when it finally happened. <br />
<br />
She answers the dumbest questions ever from me. I text her all the time and drive her absolutely crazy, I'm sure. <br />
<br />
She supports me, encourages me, laughs and cries with me. I totally trust her. I know she totally trusts me too. I love her family like it is my family. <br />
<br />
She is my best friend. We have managed to keep our friendship strong through finishing school, having families and me moving 700 miles away. <br />
<br />
I love you Megan! Thanks for loving me!<br />

<br />
Today I feel very blessed to be able to savor the simple little moments in life. When the world stands still for a moment and you feel like you are the only one on this Earth. This is a fast paced kind of world. It's nice to slow down sometimes and just take a deep breath and enjoy the moment.<br />
<br />
~Sitting and watching Eli play with his toys.<br />
<br />
~Making Eli giggle when I tickle his belly.<br />
<br />
~Watching Eli learn new things.<br />
<br />
~Sitting on the couch with my husband in silence. Sometimes you don't have to talk verbally...your thoughts and feelings can pour out in silence. <br />
<br />
~Feeling the warm sunshine on my face.<br />
<br />
~Riding with my sunroof open and the windows down.<br />
<br />
~Those awesome Matchbox 20, Coldplay, Third Eye Blind and Jason Mraz songs.<br />
<br />
~Watching Eli dance to all the music I listed above! He loves music!<br />
<br />
~Someone appreciating the work that I do- a patient telling me thank-you for helping them.<br />
<br />
~Kisses from my hubby...I still get butterflies.<br />
<br />
~My bathtub soaks. My 20 minutes of peace and time to think.<br />
<br />
~The way Eli looks at me. The way Eli looks at Josh.<br />
<br />
~The way my husband wants to snuggle up to my back when we sleep. When he's away, I miss it.<br />

<br />
I could go on and on. There are so many little blessings that we take for granted. I thank God for protecting me and always coming through for me when times get a little tough. <br />
<br />
What are the blessings in your life? Have you thanked God for them lately? Most of us are blessed with far more things than we deserve. Let's take a moment and reflect today. Count your blessings and you are bound to have a good day!<br />

<br />
Overcoming Fears and Obstacles<br />
<br />
I'm linking up with <a href="http://www.megan-amazinglove.blogspot.com/">Megan,</a> for 7 days of blessings. Check out her blog! <br />
<br />
Today I feel blessed to have experienced unexpected changes in my life... things that I never thought I would do. Places I thought I would never see. Things that I never thought I could handle. People I would have never met. Sometimes we think we have our life all figured out and The Lord throws us a curve ball. I think we can all get in a comfort zone and become afraid of change. Change is a good thing. We all need to mix it up every once in a while...<br />
<br />
<br />
I am Alabama born and raised. I went to school with the same people for 13 years. I went to college with some of my best friends. Back home, I can go to the grocery store and see at least 5 people I know and usually many more than that. I worked at Winn-Dixie in Childersburg all through High School and College. Pretty much my whole family lives in that area or within 40 miles. We had a beautiful home in Alabama. We had a Siberian Husky that we loved dearly. We had plenty of house to welcome our new bundle of joy...<br />
<br />
Our "plans" quickly changed. We moved to Oklahoma in October of 2011. 670 miles. Let me just tell you, I am a Momma's baby. I love my sisters and I was leaving behind my best friend. It was hard. I cried a lot. The first several months were bad. I was pregnant but we had not told anyone yet. I was sick...constantly. Nausea/ vomiting around the clock. Josh was out of town a lot in the beginning. I wasn't working yet. I just wanted to crawl in a hole and disappear. <br />
<br />
I started a new job the end of November. I feel so blessed to have met
several good friends through this job. One in particular, Tiffany, has
helped me so much. She has been such a blessing to me. She said after
she first met me that, "I was going to be her friend, I just didn't know
it yet!" We bonded right off the bat. She has made me feel so
comfortable here and I feel like I've known her for years. I think God places certain people in your life at just the right time. <br />
<br />
New house + new town + 1st pregnancy + husband gone all the time= a very sad and depressed Brynn. You can't just hop in the car and drive home to see family. We are talking a 12 hour drive. We finally told our families that I was pregnant the end of November. I was so glad to be able to at least talk to my Mom over the phone about things. I just wanted my Momma. Although talking to her on the phone was nice, nothing can replace actually seeing her, face to face. I wanted her to see my growing belly. I wanted to go shopping with her for baby stuff. I needed support. We had tried to get pregnant for so long. It finally happened and we moved nearly 700 miles away. (I found out I was pregnant 6 days before the moving truck came to pack up my whole house) I only saw my Momma 3 times during my whole pregnancy. We lived by picture texts of my belly and videos of my ultrasounds sent via text message. <br />
<br />
My Mom was able to stay for a week after I delivered Eli. I will never forget taking her to the airport. That was the worst goodbye. Here I was with a new baby and I felt so clueless about how to care for him. I needed my Momma, but guess what? I survived. I took care of sweet Eli just fine. It wasn't easy, but I did it. Another fear conquered.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although this has not always been easy, I feel very blessed that The Lord chose us for this journey. I think it has taught me so much. I feel closer to Josh. I feel like I am easier to come out of my shell and talk to people that I don't know well. I had to completely start my life over here. New house, new job, new friends...but again, I did it. I have embraced a different culture. It's not "coke" here it's "pop." It's not a "buggy" it's a shopping cart. Mexican food is very Tex-Mex here. People do not talk with that Southern drawl that I am so used to. In ways it's a different way of life, but it is our life and
I am loving every minute of it. I don't know if some people could be
up for a challenge like this. We have conquered it. We love Oklahoma.
Our son was born here. It will always hold a special place in our
hearts. I'm so glad that we conquered fears of the unknown and just
jumped right in...that is a very special blessing.<br />

I'm linking up with <a href="http://www.megan-amazinglove.blogspot.com/">Megan,</a> to talk about the blessings in our lives. Check out her page! She's been my best friend for a very long time!<br />
<br />
My husband, Josh, is one of the many blessings in my life...and one of the greatest. He loves me unconditionally, even when I'm not very lovable. He is my rock and the strong foundation of our family. He is a Godly husband. He prays with me. We have the same views on how we want to live our life. He is the love of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better spouse. I thank God daily for sending him to me. <br />
<br />
We met through a mutual friend. Josh was a Manager with Home Depot at the time. I was in Nursing School. A girl that I was in class with worked for Josh. She kept telling me that her boss was "cute and we just look like we would be a cute couple." After a couple of weeks, I gave in and decided to go to the store that he worked at. We met and the rest is history! We had our first date a few days after we met and decided to date exclusively very soon after that. <br />
<br />
We knew very early on that we wanted to get married. My sweet Josh waited until we had been dating for a year and 3 months to ask me to marry him (per my Mother's request to wait at least a year!) On July 22, 2006 we said "I do" and that was one of the best days of my life. <br />
<br />
Joshua David Meins, you are one of the greatest and best blessings in my life! <br />
<br />
Josh, thank you for loving me. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband and father. You work so hard for our family and I want you to know how much I appreciate you. I know God sent you to me. You are my perfect match and my soul mate. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm very excited for our future! Love you with all my heart.<br />

I'm linking up with my girl, <a href="http://www.megan-amazinglove.blogspot.com/">Megan,</a> for 7 Days of Blessings. We have so many blessings in our lives. This will only scratch the surface. I find that I am so unworthy of all the blessings I have in my life. It's good to reflect on them every now and then to humble yourself. <br />
<br />
<br />
I had a completely different idea in my head for today's post. I had a change of heart last night. <br />
<br />
I feel incredibly blessed to have a mother that loves me with all of her heart and I also feel so blessed to be able to give a mother's love to my son. It is a very deep love. One that cannot be described unless you feel it yourself. I never knew that I could love something so much. That feeling, of intense love, gives me joy in my heart. Now I know what my mother was talking about. She used to tell me that I could not imagine how much she loved me and my sisters. I didn't understand then, but I do now. <br />
<br />
I sat in my living room with my husband last night reminiscing of the fabulous Easter we had. We attended church as we do every Sunday. We cooked out and had an Easter Egg hunt. We finished the day by going to the park and later watching the finale of "The Bible." If you haven't watched this, you really should. It really helped me to understand some parts of The Bible that I did not fully understand. <br />
<br />
I sat there watching as they beat and tortured our Savior. Tears were streaming down my face. Not only was I crying because I am SO UNWORTHY of a love like Jesus has for me, I cried because I watched the pain on Mary's face as she watched them beat him, kick him, curse him and mock him. That was her son. I have a son. I know the love that I have for Eli and he has only been around for 9 months. I cannot imagine the love that she had for Jesus. She had him here on earth for 33 years. I watched as tears poured down her cheeks. This really happened, y'all. It's not some made up Hollywood movie. <br />
<br />
I watched as they nailed Jesus' hands and feet to the cross. Each ping of the hammer sent heart-wrenching chills up my spine. I wept not only because of the pain and agony that Jesus went through, I wept because Mary had to feel completely helpless. I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow that she felt in her heart. <br />
<br />
I wept as Jesus proclaimed, "Tetelestai" (It is finished.) He carried the weight of all of our sins on that cross. He knew every sin I would ever commit...and he still loves me. I feel so blessed to have a Savior who, no matter how I fail him, he continues to love me. What an amazing love. What a Savior. <br />
<br />
I know that Jesus is in my heart. I know that I will spend eternity in heaven. <br />
<br />

<br />
Give yourself to The Lord and you will be amazed at the peace and love you will feel in your heart. <br />
<br />
It's as easy as A-B-C<br />
<br />
A- Admit you are a sinner. We are all sinners. Only Jesus lived the perfect and Holy life.<br />
B- Believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. Believe that he is the Son of God.<br />
C-Confess your sins. Ask for forgiveness. <br />
Ask The Lord to come into your heart and save you. <br />
<br />
The rest will fall into place. <br />
<br />
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16<br />

I am pairing up with my bestie, <a href="http://megan-amazinglove.blogspot.com/">Megan,</a> for a week of posts about the blessings in our lives. There are so many more than 7, but we will start here. What better day to start than on the celebration day of our risen Savior? <br />
<br />
On this Easter day, I would like to begin by saying that I am so blessed and fortunate to have grown up in church. I got very involved in my youth group and I cherish those memories and the wonderful things that I learned. <br />
<br />
I love The Lord. I am so happy that I married a man that loves The Lord like I do. We will raise our precious son to be God-fearing and to love The Lord with all his heart. My grandfather always made sure that I was in church with him. I remember sitting in church and he would always give me a butterscotch candy or peppermint. I also remember the jingle of change in his pockets. He would give me a handful to put in the children's offering. I remember getting so excited about that! <br />
<br />
I feel incredibly blessed to have freedom of my religion without persecution. I can profess my love for The Lord with no repercussions. I can worship and witness to others. I feel very blessed to be able to say that. Today and every day, I am so blessed to have a Savior that loves me more than I can even fathom. He knows all my faults, but loves me anyway. He knows the number of hairs on my head and He knows the number of breaths I have on this earth. He died on the cross for you and me. We are so undeserving. Thank you Lord for Your love. <br />
<br />
Happy Easter<br />
HE IS RISEN!<br />

I know I've said it before, but this is the most fun stage you are going through! You actually interact with us and play peek-a-boo! You laugh at us when we are being silly. You hide from me when you know I'm looking for you! My life is very busy and I wouldn't have it any other way! Here is a timeline of your life from 8 months to 9!<br />
<br />
February<br />
13th- You started waving your arm when we say, "bye bye"<br />
14th- Your first Valentine's Day. You had a party at daycare and Mommy was your date! We ate cupcakes and drank grape juice! <br />
17th- You started crying when we drop you off at the nursery at church. I believe the separation anxiety has kicked in. You don't want me far out of your sight. <br />
20th- Your first snow! 3 inches. It was beautiful and you hated it! It was just too cold!<br />
You also started turning on the water in the kitchen sink (while sitting in the bumbo seat) You grab anything and everything that you can get your hands on! <br />
24th- You started dunking your face in the bathtub and drinking the bath water! Yuck!<br />
25th- You started crawling with your knees off the floor. I don't think you like your knees touching the floor!<br />
<br />
March<br />
1st- You started having weird symptoms that resembled seizures. <br />
2nd- You were admitted to Children's Hospital in Tulsa. <br />
4th- We got to come home with no bad news of your health. Thank God!<br />
6th- You stood up for 15 seconds by yourself! You also started opening and closing your fingers when waving. <br />
<br />
March didn't start out all that well. Things are looking up now! You are so much better and back to your sweet, happy self! Mommy loves you so much. I hope that one day you appreciate these posts. I enjoy writing them and reflecting on the last month and all that you are learning! Love you to infinity...<br />
<br />
Mommy<br />

The last picture on the scale was at your 9 month check up. You were 20 pounds 3 ounces and you were 28 3/4 inches long. Weight was 50th percentile. Length was 75th percentile. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimF1bCHvlt-KnucbI6wu-vTjNdNsKNpHW2mruCAA31dAGBJqi51I0sBf9-t5YbtmcjGU_DdEwH3gkaxs2SMF39MxpeytdXoPZ65xAJU6u2VBwNLj-sHRltjueV7-Q6bEAPZ9DkOVoYu2wA/s640/blogger-image--1799568902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

He's had the occasional runny nose, low grade fever and allergies. Nothing like what I'm about to describe. Scariest 4 days of my life...<br />
<br />
Friday morning, March 1st, I got Eli up around 6:15 to get him ready for daycare. He was completely normal...a little fussy but nothing out of the ordinary. I got him dressed and was about to put him in his car seat. He let out a terrible scream and his left eye was extremely red and swollen. After I noticed the redness, he started losing control of his head movements. It was bobbing back and forth like he couldn't hold it up on his own. Then he started closing his eyes and getting very drowsy. I took him into my room and let Josh look at him. We had no idea what was going on. It only lasted a few minutes and I had to get going so I wouldn't be late for work. I got him to daycare and his left eye was still red but he acted alert and normal. I reluctantly left him with strict instructions to call my department with any changes or concerns. <br />
<br />
That afternoon, I took Eli to the doctor. I wasn't sure what was going with him but knew that something was off. Of course at this time, his eye was completely normal. No redness. The doctor looked at his eye and said it was fine. He did have a slight ear infection on the left side but nothing severe. <br />
<br />
Fast forward to Saturday afternoon. It was around 4:00 and I was holding Eli at the bar and Josh was straight across from me. Eli let out a terrible scream, his left eye turned very red and swollen and he became lethargic again. I was in a panic. I am a nurse, and have been for 9 years, but when it's your child, you lose all your knowledge and become "just a mommy." I called the doctor's office and they instructed us to go straight to the urgent care that housed a pediatrician. We scurried around and were gone in less than 20 minutes. <br />
<br />
From the time we left our house, Eli had 3 more episodes. The redness would come on so fast that it was like he was slapped in the face. It would last about 15 minutes and then go away like nothing ever happened. What was so concerning to me was the lethargy. He was very sensitive to light and was overall just miserable. They decided to direct admit us to Children's Hospital in Tulsa. <br />
<br />
We arrived around 6:30 and they hooked him up to a continuous EEG at 10 pm. Poor baby cried the whole time. It took 30 minutes to put all 25 leads on his head. They each had to be glued and dried before moving to the next. They also drew blood on him during this. I'm kind of glad they just did it all at the same time. Kill 2 birds with one stone. <br />
<br />
Eli endured lab draws, continuous EEG(<br />
(For a day and a half), IV stick and an MRI under general anesthesia. I got to go in with him and hold his hand while he drifted off to sleep. <br />
<br />
We were discharged Monday afternoon, March 4th, with no answers. They had ruled out brain tumors, blood clots, brain/spinal cord infection and genetic anomalies. The doctors were baffled and had never seen the symptoms together like Eli had. <br />
<br />
We did not receive answers about what happened to Eli. The closest thing they could think of was that something was interfering with one of his cranial nerves. I know without a doubt that God healed my sweet baby. Something happened that evening. I felt such a peace and comfort that only The Lord can give. <br />
<br />
Eli is already giving his Mommy and Daddy gray hair! <br />
<br />
The happy ending to this story is that Eli got a new pirate ship crawl through toy for being such a big boy :) <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViCeoMl9rvxtXUGwgAhOdK7EdIfaNWa-LOJ97U0Q6mHCnsxUgX-5FfiQX_EsWkKgQHI-4ZreO00imWlPcR436C4ymEswHSxQdQ74MauLxI4CifItkDa4n4FDgILst9NpjuR9HmskQl-MW/s640/blogger-image-1953463468.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

He pulled it out of the wall and put it straight into his mouth. I was just across the room. The boy is quick. I ran over to him and snatched it out of his mouth. He looked very stunned and confused as to why he couldn't continue sucking the disease causing fluid out of the plastic container (full of BPA I'm sure.) I immediately jumped on Google, because they have all the answers, and thank goodness I'm not the only Mom who this has happened to! Lesson learned- all of the plug ins have been moved to higher ground...<br />
<br />
This morning, I heard Eli stirring in his crib. I always let him stay in there a while if he is not fussing. He will usually just crawl around and pull up on anything he can get his hands on. I finally decided to go get him and I walk in to find him standing there grinning at me. I thought something looked a little off. I looked down in the crib and saw his entire mobile had been pulled off the pole that is connected to the bed. It's still not put back together. I seriously don't know how he got it off. It's not easy. I'm sure he was hanging off of it like he was parachuting. If walls could talk...<br />
<br />
After he broke the mobile this morning, I was letting him crawl up and down the hallway to his room and back to the kitchen. He would do this pretty much all day if I would let him. He will stop off and play with toys when he wants. I was at the bar in the kitchen and I noticed he was pretty quiet. I went to the hallway and I noticed he was chewing on something. I open his mouth and found the white cap off the door stop from the hallway. Thank God we didn't have to take a trip to Children's... Lesson learned- super glue white caps on the door stops. <br />
<br />
Hopefully that's all the trouble for today! Boys will be boys!! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-gMtKzOA8qwhO6Jso6Affo9TFe_bZRQmrB45awEiIU9TufAfRAUUOssQ1y4fhgS0wzYaTUCaAsEBv_PhL4rlriWRitB4upqrkSX_CryiJSlQG-hflaG6LhtsvupW3Bhwxadwek631_Pf/s640/blogger-image--48158817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-gMtKzOA8qwhO6Jso6Affo9TFe_bZRQmrB45awEiIU9TufAfRAUUOssQ1y4fhgS0wzYaTUCaAsEBv_PhL4rlriWRitB4upqrkSX_CryiJSlQG-hflaG6LhtsvupW3Bhwxadwek631_Pf/s640/blogger-image--48158817.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWpCyjPD2kZYHqxdtEMgxaX54NJfyzg7eazek6XfmjAhbrxklxr5nlG0ain5X2fGI-VRUiIslQ9Gs-gBg0M55OcRX0ZC5rfJtLQ423_LpWR9bvMrfUHi_ejrUVjzCL4P18VZ_ljgNnX8LA/s640/blogger-image--1541827087.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWpCyjPD2kZYHqxdtEMgxaX54NJfyzg7eazek6XfmjAhbrxklxr5nlG0ain5X2fGI-VRUiIslQ9Gs-gBg0M55OcRX0ZC5rfJtLQ423_LpWR9bvMrfUHi_ejrUVjzCL4P18VZ_ljgNnX8LA/s640/blogger-image--1541827087.jpg" /></a></div>Brynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04155611876017868321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252095800292236980.post-40558754807500559042013-02-25T14:48:00.001-06:002013-02-25T14:57:25.254-06:00Weekly RecapSaturday February 16<br />
Daddy, or Lala as Eli calls everything now, had just gotten home from Wichita the day before. We decided to have a little Mongolian food. Eli sat in the high chair like a big boy! He enjoyed cheddar crunchies and blueberry puffs! We enjoyed fried rice, shrimp, veggies and lots of teriyaki sauce!<br />
<br />
Sunday February 17th<br />
We went to church that morning and then that evening I enjoyed snuggle time with my sweet angel!<br />
<br />
Monday February 18th<br />
I got on a cleaning streak! Cleaned out my coat closet and my armoire in my guest bedroom. I made the armoire into my little office. Complete with labeled binders! I'm such a nerd at heart!<br />
<br />
Tuesday February 19th<br />
I was still on a cleaning streak. I cleaned out Eli's closet and organized his papers from the hospital, doctor visits and daycare reports. It's in a neat binder with tabs! It's the little things! The picture is during the process. Eli loves to pull all of his toys out!<br />
<br />
Wednesday February 20th<br />
Eli's first snow! It was beautiful! We got several inches within a few hours. Eli didn't like it too much. We only spent a couple of minutes outside and he was tired of it. <br />
<br />
Thursday February 21st<br />
I worked from 7-3:30. There was still a lot of snow on the ground. Daddy came home from Dallas. We sent him a quick picture to let him know that we couldn't wait to see him!<br />
<br />
Friday February 22nd<br />
I snapped a cute pic of my little man in the bathtub. He is loving splashing around in the tub! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlU3W1EkRFmuSuNtud43u6ZMR759L4LAEao2uyx_Azcv8_g0xBhYgGBI9X6-h42NQe_EFjEPVdUjk__aYf2G7rfrOlXaYXZ9p0lKjvl9mrDSq2yC_DOStYlyLIQthdAITbHfzmdwZU0gfl/s640/blogger-image-1592561207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlU3W1EkRFmuSuNtud43u6ZMR759L4LAEao2uyx_Azcv8_g0xBhYgGBI9X6-h42NQe_EFjEPVdUjk__aYf2G7rfrOlXaYXZ9p0lKjvl9mrDSq2yC_DOStYlyLIQthdAITbHfzmdwZU0gfl/s640/blogger-image-1592561207.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTWWQIr19SH0HEHuyjc-GEBwGUUo6SJWIu3pF0T3J4mATdJ-EwLWbApwaAuv_fDJ6HRdkn9T7dBIjNTMqnQYRsvfcuoJ8DsI5yvSP7kWkQBEQotKr3zdCrcDgBUCmgDXL-MO3FB_xM_hSm/s640/blogger-image-276782253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTWWQIr19SH0HEHuyjc-GEBwGUUo6SJWIu3pF0T3J4mATdJ-EwLWbApwaAuv_fDJ6HRdkn9T7dBIjNTMqnQYRsvfcuoJ8DsI5yvSP7kWkQBEQotKr3zdCrcDgBUCmgDXL-MO3FB_xM_hSm/s640/blogger-image-276782253.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWh2ybYtC9J3pjwAZIBf9YSHUwiFnNTNWYi9QwkFtY-CZZqunSwidVGlpFDsK6_ARtIqDrDQOWh0aHno4a3X67pLDAx90KnvFsJdT-wfyPSep_qg7F9nL8RbIeSkcZPkP5kG2A_lO1TVXn/s640/blogger-image--245004238.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWh2ybYtC9J3pjwAZIBf9YSHUwiFnNTNWYi9QwkFtY-CZZqunSwidVGlpFDsK6_ARtIqDrDQOWh0aHno4a3X67pLDAx90KnvFsJdT-wfyPSep_qg7F9nL8RbIeSkcZPkP5kG2A_lO1TVXn/s640/blogger-image--245004238.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJtfoFZhKXJvB07n6jgbdV1Sz8cA-ylKSYZhNmyfCatMczrWJm5yzmSwwo87jgDJZSzRcpcfOTFLMzn6TB82LP68iXpeXDFd0TysHVk-M27JUhDBVZ55c8bvS1rK-fVMPPVQX4SdSRm0Yx/s640/blogger-image-1175945019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJtfoFZhKXJvB07n6jgbdV1Sz8cA-ylKSYZhNmyfCatMczrWJm5yzmSwwo87jgDJZSzRcpcfOTFLMzn6TB82LP68iXpeXDFd0TysHVk-M27JUhDBVZ55c8bvS1rK-fVMPPVQX4SdSRm0Yx/s640/blogger-image-1175945019.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaw8pKmGrf-EfiXgUCAH5jfjANxrgFiMqaJ8H1jGRJvHQSOa6p4EGDe-MOq4WslgNcRhDTp922McJKW3aJByrX3uOOqS7DDvnYKwUcrRwmoNlPL9DwmSoA5dyJThUqmMgsSd3Jj8bSLk9-/s640/blogger-image-1053331669.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaw8pKmGrf-EfiXgUCAH5jfjANxrgFiMqaJ8H1jGRJvHQSOa6p4EGDe-MOq4WslgNcRhDTp922McJKW3aJByrX3uOOqS7DDvnYKwUcrRwmoNlPL9DwmSoA5dyJThUqmMgsSd3Jj8bSLk9-/s640/blogger-image-1053331669.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9a969eHN3Tx7RJuYqSqg43gwQbg1GNxBKCSV1vTtnz-AS2gh3vpfrGMfEIwJxWbZHY8h28sf0afZyYQnSrWGpGxy5-hTraGtqFZJ6pdB_sL2O3rN0wfwxNv7p8MLF6_kBanWorxOsf7vA/s640/blogger-image--109454191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9a969eHN3Tx7RJuYqSqg43gwQbg1GNxBKCSV1vTtnz-AS2gh3vpfrGMfEIwJxWbZHY8h28sf0afZyYQnSrWGpGxy5-hTraGtqFZJ6pdB_sL2O3rN0wfwxNv7p8MLF6_kBanWorxOsf7vA/s640/blogger-image--109454191.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh76zWNSOdiPEH1hBH98OO1diNXkd3o_UwidFoh0PicJQFvMGCepDmVucZ-8Lgm4Rvp-hx-4-r_xU6-TOs5xQXYHe2MPy22nUtLSn641JI7IN2aIjuJFodTcIRx5Dw4SjD7xLWDjZyKmmQ_/s640/blogger-image-154119518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh76zWNSOdiPEH1hBH98OO1diNXkd3o_UwidFoh0PicJQFvMGCepDmVucZ-8Lgm4Rvp-hx-4-r_xU6-TOs5xQXYHe2MPy22nUtLSn641JI7IN2aIjuJFodTcIRx5Dw4SjD7xLWDjZyKmmQ_/s640/blogger-image-154119518.jpg" /></a></div>Brynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04155611876017868321noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252095800292236980.post-33657220888381242432013-02-20T18:15:00.001-06:002013-02-21T11:22:57.666-06:00Winter Wonderland2/20/13<br />
Eli's first snow! It started snowing really hard around 7:45 am. It continued through the afternoon on and off. My neighborhood got around 3 inches. It was beautiful!<br />
<br />
I decided to bundle up my little man and take him outside to snap some pictures. I sat him down and he had the most solemn look on his face! He kept looking around from side to side. After only a minute or so the tears started! He hated it! He just didn't know what to think! I managed to get some pretty cute pics! <br />

I'm currently at 138.8 pounds. My goal is 130 by summer. I haven't made the best choices in food the last several days but I'm glad that I'm at least maintaining my weight. Hard to turn down those Lays Cheesy Garlic Bread chips (thanks a lot Josh!) <br />
<br />
When I started my weight loss journey, I had just delivered my first born son. I weighed in at 157. I only gained 20 pounds during my pregnancy. Lets just say I had TONS of morning sickness. I actually lost 10 pounds in the first few months of my pregnancy. So I gained that 10 back plus 20 more. If you have ever dealt with morning sickness, you know it's the most terrible thing ever! My husband thought I was dying at one point...he told me my skin had a nice green tint to it. Just glad he stuck around during all that! I'm sure I wasn't looking my best during that time! <br />
<br />
So, in all I have lost 18.2 pounds! I'm very excited about that! I have 8 pounds to go. I know I can do this! I'm throwing in some Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred when I can. Trying to be faithful to it but some days I'm just so tired. That's no excuse!! Gotta step it up! I'm going to the beach in July and I fully intend on wearing a 2-piece and rocking it :) <br />
