Its been a while since I last wrote and so much has happened in our lives...such happiness and joy!
We had an amazing first Christmas together as our own little "family". It is more evident that Jacob is rotten to the core and has more than most 22 month olds. He loved the presents but didn't care to open them. The ornaments dangling from the tree peaked his interest more than what was inside that sparkly paper. Needless to say I opened a lot of presents and watched him light up with each piece of ripped paper!!
In between Christmas and New Years we moved into our house! AWESOMENESS!! The move was quick and painless, for the most part, and we had a blast. Now we are just living the day-to-day family life and enjoying every bit of it. I am a very lucky lady for the fellow in my life and that little boy that calls me "momma" makes each day worth breathing.
We rang in the New Year on aisle 5 in Wal Mart. We spent a fun filled 3 hours and a whopping $600, the most either of us have ever spent on a "tab" at New Years and it was on groceries and home goods. I know your jealous of the exciting life we live but we couldn't be happier.
Now that things are calming down with the move, I am determining the right steps to take to make sure that my sons gets what he deserves after loosing his father at the ripe ol' age of 13 months and I get what I deserve as surving spouse (although separated we were still legally married) and the sole provider for our son now. Just pray that God leads me in all the right directions and that we get what we need to live a happy, healthy life, and Jacob never does without! (like he would anyway, right?)
After the holiday break from school Jacob has moved up in school. He is now in the 2 year old room and I am not sure how I feel about this. The first day I think all of us (me, him, & his first teacher) cried all day. That was the realization point for me that my baby was really entering the "terrible twos" and has a birthday just 3 months away...where did my baby go? He is learning more sign language, drinks out of big boy cups-there are no sippie cups in the 2 year old class, bible study, potty training, reading, etc. I LOVE his school and they love him. It is so nice knowing that my baby is in great hands because I have to work. It should be a law that if you have a baby under the age of 5 you should get to stay home with them until they start kindergarten and still get paid. I am grateful for all that he has learned but I miss him dearly when I am working and I feel like we don't get enough time together at night or on the weekends...I want to be with him ALL the time.
Work is work, and that's all I am going to say about that right now. Thank God for those 77 smiling faces that great me at the door every morning, and that strong cup of coffee waiting for me to roll out of the bed!
Jay and I are PERFECT! Life just couldn't be better if I wanted it to be. We have our little "routine" down and we are such a great team. It's so nice to have a teammate that truly will do anything in the world for us and never lets us down. I feel sorry for him lately, and I am really sorry, I am stressed beyond stressed with all the "behind the scenes" stuff going on around here and I know I am snappy. God love him for hanging in there and being the man he is. It will get better honey...just hold on for the next ride of your life.
Let the ride continue....
