i want....

It is said that we spend the first half of our life accumulating possessions, and the second half giving them away. This is probably true for most people, and very true for myself.  I always catch myself looking at stuff and thinking, oh I want that, and that, and that! I ask these questions: Why do we have to have so many things we don't need? Why do we buy things only to turn around and sell them for less than half of the cost we paid for them at a yard sale?  In honor of all of the things I want, and don't need I thought I would share some of my latest finds.

Another weekend come and gone...

I want to give a big congratulations to my good friends Matt and Julie. They tied the knot this past Saturday.  The ceremony was beautiful, and the reception was a blast. I haven't had that much fun in a long time! I wish them all the happiness in the world , and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them. Happy  Honeymooning!

A little update on Holden...

 I don't think it will be long before he starts crawling around the house. He is starting to push up, and army crawl to get his little hands on whatever he can find.  On a sadder note, he is getting sick again, and it breaks my heart. I am ready for some pretty weather so we can get away from being cooped up with all these germs!

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. -Isadora James

My little sister is one of the best things that ever happened to me. To be an older sister I have tried to set a good example for her and always be there when she needs a helping hand or shoulder to cry on.  I tried to do all the things that big sisters are supposed to do to help their little sisters and I realized that she has helped me more.  I have learned so much from her without even realizing it.  She is passionate, loving, beautiful inside and out, adventurous, and humble.  She has become what I only dreamed of being, and she has done this all with the most class and grace. She is the example I wanted to set for her, and she has somehow managed to become this woman that I look up to and am so proud to claim her as mine!

We are so much alike, and yet so different at the same time it is amazing.  We have always had the same goals and values in life but she has taken it to the next level.  It is like she has a light inside of her that keeps getting brighter.  I am so proud of her and I hope that she gets everything she has ever dreamed of in life, because out of all the people I know she deserves it more than anyone.



A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double.  ~Toni Morrison

new teeth....

...so Holden is officially teething and has a new tooth to show for it. I think another tooth should come through any day now.  He hasn't had too rough of a time with it so far so hopefully it won't get any worse.  Although on top of the teething he got a stomach bug which has already been passed around to the entire family.  I am hoping it stays away from me!
