Back on the Horse
So it has been a year since I have posted. I know, I know, how pitiful. I never really got in the habit of posting. So here I go again. If my awesome, busy friends can blog, then I can too!
The past year has been b-u-s-y! I finished my Masters with a 4.0. I am so glad that I got to go back to school with Leslie. She made the process a lot of fun and provided comic relief when necessary. I believe that this degree is going to help me finally reach my goal of teaching closer to home and making more money. Fingers crossed and praying...
My baby girl started and finished Kindergarten. I am so proud of her. She is smart, beautiful, talented, and funny. She dances and will start cheering on Monday. She keeps us busy. There are a million posts I could make about her. I will try my best to share the joy of Lily with you.
Liam has turned into the inquisitive 4 year old. He talks ALL of the time. His charming smile is impossible to get mad at. He has spent the past year loving on his mommy, which never gets old. He has impressed me with how much he has learned over the past year. He can identify letters and sounds and numbers. He loves story time with mommy and even lets Lily read to him sometimes, too. He will definitely provide funny comments that I can share. So stay tuned.
As always, Shaun has stepped up to take care of our family. He stays busy at the fire department, then cuts grass and hangs doors to make ends meet. He is the most amazing husband and I am lucky to have him in my life.
So a short update... More to come later.

I am so excited!!! I got an iphone!
This is the coolest thing! I am in love!! I have been a mack user for five years now and I will never go back to a pc.
Macs are very user friendly. But my iphone takes the cake. I have only had it for a few hours and it is very hard to put down. (It is charging right now) I have wanted an iphone for some time now, but we have been with verizon forever. We were not unhappy with verizon's service, verizon just didn't have an iphone. My friend Leslie was also on verizon so there definitely could be a big problem with us being on different carriers.
NOT ANYMORE!
Today Shaun, Sam, Leslie, and myself made a day of it. We all went to the ATT store and bought 4 iphones. We made it rain dollar bills for our helpful associate Cory. We were all like little kids waiting to open our birthday presents. It was super exciting and a great way to spend time with friends. Of course after we got our phones there was very little conversation between the four of us. When we did speak it was '"wow", "check this out", "look at this app".
I just wanted to share my exciting news. Feel free to share your favorite apps. Well I am off to explore some more!

Easter 2009
Like most families, the holidays are always super busy. Shaun and I have big families so we have to make our rounds.=) It is a lot of work but we enjoy visiting our families.
On Thursday, my mom stopped by and brought us some Easter goodies. The kids were happy to see her and I was too. Mom doesn't stop by often so it was a nice treat.
With Shaun's job I often have to travel alone. This is my least favorite part of his job. However, it is the way it goes and I have to deal with it. On Saturday we went to Halls, TN for his families Easter festivities. There were a lot of children and they had fun playing and hunting eggs. I rode up with Shaun's brother and before we left he washed my car! I am a lucky girl. When we came home the kids and I dyed our Easter eggs. We had a lot of fun. They were both tuckered out from their busy day and quick to go to bed (since the EB won't come when you are awake)
On Easter Sunday, Shaun came home but we did not make it to church because he had a busy night on the unit the night before. I was a little disappointed but church is anywhere people gather and share the love of Jesus, so we had that part covered. We had a lazy morning and watched the kids new movies that the Easter bunny left them. Then it was off to my aunt's house. It was nice to see the family, I just wish there were some kids for Lily and Liam to play with. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!
