...half the year is gone already?...

So much has gone on these past six months. I think it's been about two or three months since I've last blogged. Not good. So much for "blogging and my attempt to start editing". I've had no luck whatsoever with the picture editing thing mentioned in my first blog. I really want to... just haven't found the right software for this laptop. My husband got me a MacPro and I love it... but you seriously can't do much with it unless you buy all the software for it! And I can't borrow anyones because no one else I know has a Mac! I'm not rubbing it in, I'm serious. It's a WIN-LOSE kind of product. But I'm not complaining, I swear =)

My last blog, I sounded very much stressed. It's been better since...for the most part. Work is work. My calling is the best. My family is healthy.

I can't believe it's almost July! Where has the first half of the year gone? What have I been doing this whole time? Ioana is starting school this year... in three months to be exact. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I already told my mom that I can't be the one to take her on her first day, I'll cry the entire time!!! Seriously. I almost cry just talking about it. Just the other day I asked her to run upstairs and get something for me... then she said, "Mom, I always get everything. Can you tell Fatboy this time?" I just looked at her and laughed. It wasn't until that moment that I realized how much I really do depend on her. She's honestly my right hand when Daddy's not around.

My Ephraim is getting so big. He's too smart for his age. Before I know it, he'll be off to school with his sister. He's our little ENTERTAINER. He's also a MAMA's BOY. He's constantly asking if I'm okay and always finding excuses to sleep with me. Our house is just not the same without him. He seriously needs a brother! LOL. And NO I'm not throwing any hints, I'm just saying... he hangs out with too many girls! He hangs out with his sisters all day, not to mention his Grandma and his Aunties too! He does hang out with his Uncles too though... that could be a good thing and a bad thing... his youngest uncle is 12...he might be learning more than he should from them, if you know what I mean!

Shawnee...one word...MONSTER.This girl is too much. I think The Lord figured, "If these two want kids, we'll send them one worse than the first two and see if they keep wanting to have kids." But... we would'nt have it any other way!! As much as drives us crazy, it just wouldn't be the same without her!

Matt's been busy with school. Yes it's the summer, but he's doing summer school too. We've been both trying to get on some kind of diet/training for him to get in shape and for me to freakin lose weight! My family and friends tell me that I don't need to but honestly, this is the biggest I've been when I'm not pregnant. It's killing me! I want to be at least twenty pounds lighter than where I am now. And no I'm NOT fishing for compliments, I just want to be a little more comfortable with my weight. We started out really well... strict diet, workouts everyday...now, I find that I am even MORE addicted to Coke and can't seem to get myself to the rec as much. I do however manage to keep myself going to volleyball twice a week. That counts right?!? Matt doesn't need to try as hard as me... he can drop ten pounds in one week! That would take me about a month! I swear that guy...

Well... I guess that's a little rundown of where we're at right now. Other than that, it's the same-o-same-o. I'm trying to get myself back into blogging... I still have about six entries on my dashboard that I have yet to finish. I usually start on something, get interrupted and then try to finish it later. But when I get on the next time, I want to blog about something else... so this pretty much happened the last six times I've attempted to post a new blog.

Until next time...
