Uplifting

I've gotten pretty bad about remembering to write on my blog. Life has seriously been sooooo busy!! Life is zipping by these days! It's hard to realize which end is up. But I'm loving the crazy way life is taking me right now.

Liam: testing testing testing. That boy knows exactly what he is doing. Terrible two's are upon us, but Josh and I are tackling it in a different way these days. We are finding that if we calmly talk to him and just let him do his thing and have his fit that it's defused much quicker. He is still an amazing kid and to hear him talk and interact and make things up is absolutely amazing.

Josh: storm season is here which means it's the "where's waldo" season. As if Joshy doesn't work enough of a crazy mixed up schedule, he is on call 24 hours a day and they've exercised that right often. But I don't complain. He loves his job and he does it very well. He's enjoying riding his motorcycle more and I'm glad he will be able to given that gas is over $4. Driving too and from Plainfield will be easier if he can take the bike every once in a while.

Work. BUSY ... BUSY .. B U S Y!! Since Amy left things sky rocketed. I was busy before with just my clients, but taking on Amy and sometimes Neils overflow can just get down right nuts!! But I remember right after I graduated beauty school and I was excited to just have one client a day. Now I'm fitting clients inside other appointments, staying late, coming in early. Just nuts. But I do love it. I'm so lucky that I love my job and the more I work the more confident I get, the better work I do, the happier my clients are! Win win!!

Friends: Wow, are we amazingly blessed with the friends we have. The Allen's are happily expecting their second (and last) baby. We are thrilled. It's going to be a huge change since our families live so synonymously. But they want this badly and we are so glad that we will be there with them on this journey. :) I am so excited that I have a growing friendship with Samantha (from the Roxy Studio) I love to surround myself with people who are talented, motivated and positive. This woman is the definition of all these things. We are hanging out more and more and when we get together I feel like she has pushed and motivated me. She has taken pictures of me and my family and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do so. I almost wish Josh and I could have another wedding just so she could do the pictures :) Jimmy and I still hang out a talk a lot even though we don't work together anymore. He is so awesome. He is one of those friends you know you can call in the middle of the night and he will be there for you. He and I are planning a trip next fall to Florida to celebrate turning 30, which we both will turn within two months of each other ... NEXT year. lol. Nikki is awesome. Her kids are beautiful. I can't believe that Gabe is almost 5 months old! How time flies. It's suppose to be our 10 year high school reunion this summer. I couldn't care less to go really. The fact that, if no one else, I still keep in contact with her is enough for me :)

As for everyone and everything else things are great. I'm still working out with my trainer. I had about 2-3 weeks there where I completely fell off the wagon, but I'm back on now and more motivated than ever!! The more I go work out the better I feel! I can honestly say I'm hooked on working out! I'm looking forward to this summer. I love meeting up with friends at the park, Like Ellie and Hadley, the Allens, whoever!! I have some amazing people in my life and I'm thrilled to take this journey with them!!
