Just Being a Mommy: April 2014

You read it right... I'm now on the downward slope to 30! On March 26th, I turned 26 years old! No more mid-twenties... nope... I'm upper twenties.... I'm not happy about it. however... this was the best birthday everrrrr!!! First off... my husband is freaking amazzzzing! Not only did he get me a new MacBook Pro, he also got me the collection of FRIENDS. That's right! All 10 seasons!!! Second, my mom and I have a slight obsession with Broadway musicals... so my my dad bought us tickets, both for my birthday and their 28th wedding anniversary, to see WICKED at TPAC in Nashville! It was the BEST Broadway show I have ever seen! We have now seen CATS (twice), Wizard of Oz, and Wicked... I can't wait to go see it again! We went to Nashville on Saturday, then Sunday, we went to Phill's mom's for a little birthday get-together, and they all got together and got me a GORGEOUS Origami Owl necklace!!! I have been wanting one for so long... and it is absolutely PERFECT! And last but most definitely not least, my little brother, whom I love oh so much, is taking me to see... wait for it... JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE in June!!! AHHHHHH!!!! Just so you know, N*SYNC was my very first concert ever, and I have been in love with JT ever since!!! We will be going to Kansas City, MO and staying over night in a hotel! I can't wait!!!

Enough about me... Also on March 26th, my sweet little boys turned 11 months old! :( Yet another thing that makes me oh so sad. They are growing up so fast! They both are crawling all over the place. They are both pulling up on things and trying to walk. Both say momma, dada, bubba, nanna (which my mom loves). Both are clapping. Ughhh... i can't handle this! I've also got to get busy hard and heavy with their birthday party! It's gonna sneak up on me before I know it!

Phill and I have started running again!!! I signed us up for our first 5K the other day! On June 7th, in Bowling Green we will be running The Color Vibe!!! We signed up for one 2 summers ago... but we couldn't do it since I was all big a preggo with two babies! lol I have started eating better, running and doing blogilates to try to lose weight. 11 months is too long to use the "I just had a baby(ies)" exuse. Time to make a change...

Oh, did I mention we moved back to SCOTTSVEGAS!?? heck yes!!! We found a nice little house in between my parents' house and Phill's mom's house! How perfect is that!? hahaha We are so much happier here! I feel safe being here with the boys, and I love that they get to see their Aunts, Uncles, cousins and Grandparents whenever they want! It is also kind of cool being so close to The Core (YMCA) and Dumont Hill. We have been to walk on Dumont Hill a couple times, and the boys really like it! I think this move was the best for the entire family! Although the drive to class 4 days a week SUCKS...

Speaking of school... we are halfway through the semester, and I have straight A's!!!! My schedule consists of A&P II, Statistics, and Nutrition! So far so good. I really like all of my classes! They are actually really fun and I am learning a LOT! This summer I will be taking Microbiology, and then taking the test that determines whether or not I will make it into nursing school. You have no idea how nervous I am. I have been back and forth about whether or not I wanted to try to get in at BG Tech or go ahead and apply at WKU... and I think I'm going to go ahead and try BG Tech... i would much rather go there... if I can't get in, I'll just have to reapply for WKU... no biggie. You never know until you try. It surprises even me how well I am doing in school. When I went to WKU right out of high school, I didn't have a reason to be there. I didn't go to class, I didn't study, I didn't want to be there. Now, I have a REASON to succeed. Not only for myself, but for my children. I want to make the best life possible for my boys... and that is what keeps me going every day! I love my family, and I want nothing more than to make them proud.

Here are some photos of the past few weeks! ENJOY!
