The love in your heart wasn't put there to say--Love isn't love till it's given away.

making dreams come true
Well, I can't believe it's really happening, I am happy to announce I am currently enrolled and taking classes to become a Dental Hygienist. It has been a dream of mine since I became a Dental Assistant in 2001. It has just never been the right time, but now that I am a wife and mother (with loads of time on my hands....lol!) I am now going back to school. The cool thing is that I never really liked being a student, but now that I am doing it for me, and I know that the outcome will be the job of my dreams, it is so much more interesting, and I am actually enjoying it. It is not easy by any means, but I am doing well, and finally Jackson is adjusting to not having his momma around all the time, he is starting to take naps again, he went through a few weeks of no naps, I was about to go crazy, but we are good now. He likes the sitter and she really likes him and is always bragging on just how smart his is and how she can tell that he really gets a lot of attention and is loved at home. And that really makes me feel like we are "doing something right." I am so thankful for the opportunity to go to school, so that we can send Jackson to the best schools when the time comes. And I am honored to have been accepted, because there are 24 seats in my class, and about 177 people applied. How cool is that? Brian is the greatest husband in the whole world, he supports me 1,000% and he works so hard for us. Thanks for being a part of making my dreams come true. Oh, and to all our family and friends, I would like to apoligize in advance, but until graduation, if you don't see or talk to me very much, it is not because I am upset or don't love you. It is just trying to study, be an attentive mom and wife ( to a husband that I don't even get to see everyday), and take care of our house, is pretty much the entire 24 hours of my day and then some. So, just know that I love you all and keep me and my sweet little family in you prayers and thoughts. Yeah, for dreams, and I am excited that mine are actually within reach.

Go Redbirds!
Yesterday was very exciting for us, we saw our 1st Redbirds game, it was about 49 degrees and rainy, but we bundled up and had a blast! We were invited by some friends and we started out sitting on the hill, but when the rains came, we headed for our seats. While we were on the hill, one of the Redbirds hit a home run and it was headed straight for us, luckily Ben T. was paying attention to the game, because someone would have gotten injured, but we didn't because Ben caught that ball with his bare hands!!!! Wow, way to go Ben! Jackson loved the game, he was getting lots of hugs and kisses from Julie, and he always loves attention from the ladies. After the game the Redbirds were letting all the kids run around the bases. Jackson was in heaven, he even slide into 2nd base, well, mainly because some other kid kinda bumped into him. Nevertheless, he loved getting dirty and looked really cute, he also loved Rocky the Redbird. We had a great time, and the Redbirds won the game, yeah! Thanks Ben and Christie and Julie for inviting us!

catching up!
Well, I said I would not be one of the bloggers that was really consistent, and then just stopped, and it looks like that is exactly like what I did. So to catch up on things....life is great, my sweet husband just celebrated his Big 35! And we had a weekend of fun! Kickin' the weekend off with a steak dinner with some of our favorite friends, Barry and Heather and Dale and Elisha and their little ones. We ate steak and green bean bundles and sushi, and I made a Black forest cake for dessert of course with the candles in the shape of a 3 and a 5! Then we played guitar hero until everyone was exhausted, but they left the x-box here and I continued to play while Brian was snoring on the couch, I think it was about 2:30 am while I turned it off. I seriously think if we had that game I would be addicted and I most of the time hate video games. On Sunday I had our family celebrate Brian's b-day lunch with us at Jim-N-Nick's restaurant and it was really fun seeing everyone. I love when our family all gets together, even though, I never know who is talking to me because they are all talking at once. I misses my granny being there, she didn't feel good, and we missed her alot. Jackson was so funny, he wanted to eat the rolls and we where waiting for the waitress to bring more to the table so we offered Jackson some chips, and he shook his head "no" and said "Roll" very cute. I made a cake for this as well. And to end the birthday weekend with, you guessed it.....more cake I made another cake for him to take to the fire station. I am all baked out. Just kidding...I would make 50 more cakes for my sweetie if I needed to. Happy Birthday, Brian, Jackson and I love you so much!
