So, here are the updates in short:
- I started a new job in December
- Garrett and I just celebrated 7 years together. Had a great weekend in Grapevine to celebrate!
- I signed my not so baby anymore boy up for T-ball a couple of weeks ago - starts in March
Now to expand just a bit...
My new job is... let's just say... interesting. I am grateful that I'm making more money now which this sugar mama needs to get my hubby through school. BUT putting it nicely this company makes me appreciate the last company I worked for SO much! This is the most unorganized company I have ever worked for, and those of you who know me know I have worked for a LOT of companies. :) The people are great and the money is good so I'll deal. I just wish there was a perfect job out there... some day!
I am so blessed to have been married to Garrett for 7 years. Those of you who have read any of my blogs or have had relationship conversations with me know that our marriage (like all marriages) is definitely not perfect. Marriage is hard but you have to wake up every morning and want to make it work and be the best partner you can be! And I feel so blessed to be comfortable enough with him to talk it out when we have problems. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Communication is NUMERO UNO in a marriage! Off my soap box... We went to Grapevine and had lots of wine and listened to a jazz band. We stayed out there at the Hilton and it was just a great time for the two of us. I'm so grateful for mini get a ways like that.
Yes, I signed Garrison up for T Ball. Sigh... I know he's getting older and I really don't want to be one of those moms who wishes he was still a baby and stopped growing... but it's so hard. Especially when we have to wait to have another one. Sometimes I want another one RIGHT NOW and sometimes I know it would be best to wait until Garrett is finished with school. Why does life have to get in the way of my plans all the time? :)
So... just thought I would share this thought. Garrison asked me to sing him songs tonight before bed and I always sing praise and worship songs to him. For those of you who sing praise and worship music (by yourself, at church, wherever) do you ever just get lost in it? I mean, I am super passionate about all kinds of music and I can really connect with a lot of songs. But there is just SOMETHING about those songs. It doesn't matter where I am, who I'm with, what the situation is, what mood I'm in... it's always my way of connecting with God. Love it! Anyways, I love that Garrison loves it too and sings along now. And his off key voice with the wrong words half the time is the most beautiful sound I think I have ever heard!!!
Well, I'm off to watch American Idol. I'll really try and blog more often.
