love like crazy…

There is a new (I think, we don’t get out that much) song on the radio lately that I have really enjoyed.  Frequently, I get so caught up in everything that I forget to stop and enjoy the here and now.  The unfortunate part about that is that my here and now is pretty amazing.  For whatever reason this song made me stop and think about how much time I am wasting, maybe I should take some advice from this country artist…

Love Like Crazy by Lee Brice

chorus:

be a best friend
tell the truth
and over use I love you
go to work
do your best
don’t out smart your common sense
never let your prayin’ knees get lazy
and love like crazy

I hope you all enjoy your day off with family and friends and get a chance to love like crazy!

I know I certainly will...

one year ago today…

One year ago today I took one of these (the first of many for my unbelieving eyes)…

I loved that the one said "yes" it's like pregnancy tests for dummies :-)

and it said that we were going to have one of these…

first pics of sweet baby Jay

Over the next nine months I did this…

It really is hard to believe that I was this big at one point (these are the last pictures that we have of me before Jay was born).

please excuse the scowl, apparently I was uncomfortable- how quickly we forget!

Even if I don’t remember being that big I do remember how it amused me so to take pictures of my feet poking out from my belly…

see, it really is an amusing view :-)

114 days ago from today (and 251 days from May 21, 2009- if you are one to count) we became this…

first picture as a family of three

One year ago today I couldn’t imagine having this little guy in my life and now I can’t imagine my life without him…

so in love with this little fella

So what this all boils down to is that one year ago today Jamie and I were blessed…

why you may ask?

I recently have been reading my wonderful friend Nan and her husband Jeremy’s blogs, and a thought struck me- what a wonderful way to keep up with all of our family and friends.  Lots of things have been happening in mine and Jamie’s  lives and it is hard to keep everyone, that we care so deeply about, up on the 411.  So here it is, I am starting a blog, to keep people posted, tell you about some of the random thoughts that I have, and share some of my favorite pictures with all of you.  I hope you enjoy.  Thanks Nan for the idea…
