WOW! Okay, I have to give props to all you bloggers out there who are so committed to posting on a regular basis. It is tough!
My life has been a complete whirlwind since I last posted in... August....
I have 23 first graders who are growing and flourishing. I just love the Spring semester. It's when so many of them start to take off and soar. It is exciting and so fun to watch them grow and learn and discover new things right along with them. There is so much to learn from young children, I wish more people took the time to listen to them and learn from them or right along side them.
I also am going to be an Aunt in MAY!!! :) I cannot wait to be called Aunt Katie... of course that may be a ways down the line, considering an infant cannot call you by name. :) I just love shopping for a little girl! Bows, glitter, ruffles, glam, oh my! I just got Cammie a boppy from Pottery Barn. Do any of you mommies have one? I hope it is useful and she loves it! Plus my new addiction is baby clothes shopping. I stumbled upon this really great website (Zulily) today that has name brand clothes at discounted prices. It is AMAZING and they have some of the most adorable clothes! :)
Hadley Kate, my little name sake, I cannot wait to meet you! You are so blessed to have my sister, Cammie, as your mommy! :) You will get to eat lots of treats having her for your mommy that's for sure. God has truly blessed our lives by bringing you into this world. It is amazing how many people love and adore you and you are not even here yet. I hope and pray that you always feel God's love enveloping you and that you come to know him as your Lord and Savior. It is truly amazing the things God can and will accomplish in your life if you just allow Him to work.
I have started budgeting. Lets just say that is going to be my "B" word, or just a dreaded "B" word you can take your pick. I have been using iBank for a while, but just created a budget that I am determined to stick to this year. When creating your budget there is the option for the envelope system, which I know Dave Ramsey loves! I think I am going to sign up to take his Financial Peace class at my church First Baptist Tulsa. I really need to start saving my money and not spending so much of it. Plus with the new tax increase my paycheck just got a bit smaller. Sad day. :(
I am so blessed and so wonderful and my goal is to make blogging a bit more of a priority. It really helps me to see how much I have to be grateful for in this crazy world. God has truly blessed my life and continues to wow and amaze me daily.
