Life update.

i have taken quite the hiatus from the blogger world lately. many things have taken precedent over the time it takes to put the multiple post it notes of "let-me-write-about-this" into words. so here goes the annoyingly long life update.

jacob.
jacob is now 4. where in the world has my tiny human gone? he is now morphing into a little man. gross. he is deep into his first ever season of tball and let me just say, that is quite entertaining. a couple of weeks ago i marched my little man into big school. holy moly, this momma was not ready for that. jay and i have decided to put him into a small private school close to our house (and hopefully next door to my nursing school). since he has been out of a structured school setting since late december we also decided on starting him with pre k instead of waiting another year and going straight into kinder. i had to take him for his placement test where he had to sit with his new teacher, Ms. Judy, for 45 minutes and answer a series of questions and complete a series of tasks. i was a worried, nervous wreck about taking him into her class and leaving him for that long. he hasn't left my side for the last 4 months. he, however, was perfectly fine. he walked in, pulled out a chair, sat down, looked at me with the sweetest little eyes, and said "bye mom". i most definitely walked out with tears rolling down my face and sat in the car for the next 20 minutes bawling like a newborn baby. this is normal, right?! the last 20 minutes i spent thanking God that he was comfortable enough to walk in tell me bye. that game some peace. the next 5 minutes i spent closely watching the door and waiting on my little man to emerge from that building and come racing to my car. oh goodness, august, please come slowly. my heart is not ready for my baby to be this big, yet.

us.
i am currently still staying home with jacob and i have thoroughly enjoyed every.last.minute. of it. i am not looking forward to august when he goes off to school all day. hopefully i will be in school too and too consumed with that to not really notice, highly doubtful but wishful thinking is always good. as most know i applied to nursing school in september. i found out in march that i was #9 on the alternate list to get in. so, i am still waiting. the counselor seems to be pretty positive that i am a shoe in, however, i am trying to just be patient. those that know me, know this is no small feat for me. sticking close to jeremiah 29:11 now more than ever.
jay is working his tail off, literally. it is starting to warm up out there and this is the time of year our life together is greatly hindered by the the industry of golf and the texas heat. "we now interrupt this marriage for golf." no just kidding, well kind of. he works from before sun up, to almost sun down daily now. he is so tired and exhausted all the time. there is not much that beats a hard working man.
us, all is well in our world. all is well.

life.
life is ever so demanding and full of crazy. i keep waiting for the day that it will slow down and we can catch a break, doesn't seem like that will happen until, well, ever. but, no matter how crazy, messy, ugly this life can be, i try to remind myself that it can always be worse. reminding myself daily how blessed we are and how much we have to be thankful for. praying for more positive thinking in the days ahead.

excuse the hiatus. i am back.

just too tired to go back and recount every detail since the last post. lets just pick up from here and stay connected.

remember....have a little faith
