I’m so blessed to have a little boy!!
Bobby set the camera up to record Isaiah while we were doing other things around the house. This is what we got when we watched the video!!! make sure your sound is on to get the full effect!!!
Baby Weight
So I’ve decided it’s time for me to get serious about losing this baby weight! I’ve made excuse after excuse, but I’m ready now. I HAVE to lose it. I don’t want to be lazy and I hate the way i feel when I’m out of shape! I worked so hard before getting pregnant to get in shape then I just kinda let myself go. NO MORE!!! I’m doing Weight Watchers again. My goal is to lose 50 lbs and to work out at least 3 times a week. On the ways I’m not working out, I want to do some time on my wii fit, at least 30 minutes. I am going to post about this each Monday and let you know how much I’ve lost and how I am doing on my work outs. I’m using this as a form of accountability so if I don’t post…comment me!! If I haven’t done my workouts…..FUSS AT ME!!!

Love Dare
Some girls at work decided to do the book Love Dare. After looking through Kelly’s book and reading what it was about I decided to join in too. For those of you who have not heard about this book it’s from the movie Fire Proof. I haven’t even seen the movie, but the book sounded too good to pass up on it. Each day it has a devotion and a dare that you do that will help your marriage. Bobby and I don’t have a bad marriage at all, but I know there are many things that I take for granted and many times that I do not always treat him the way I should. When I first bought the book I was not going to tell him that I was doing it and just see if he noticed a difference. But he has seen the book so now he knows…but he doesn’t know what each of the days dares are. The way the dares work is u stay on one dare for as many days as it takes for you to complete it. I thought it would be fun to blog my progress on this. Hopefully it will inspire someone else to take some steps to improve their marriage and it’s sure to make u laugh along the way!
Dare 1
Day 1- The first dare is to be patient with your spouse and to not say anything negative to them. I decided to start the book on Saturday. Bobby and I spent Saturday at home and then decided to go out to dinner and do some shopping that night. Well i did so good all day, but then it came to getting in the car. Ever since my car wreck in May, I am a TERRIBLE backseat driver. I get so nervous, my heart pounds, I get sweaty and even nausea at times just being in the car with someone. I’ve gotten alot better, but I’m not completely over it yet. Well Saturday night, the worst of all Knoxville drivers were out in Turkey Creek. It was terrible. Bobby wasn’t driving bad, but everyone around us was. Well as u can imagine, I lost it and didn’t keep my patience. Then we were frustrated because everywhere we wanted to eat was so crowded and the wait was too long, again i lost patience and snapped at Bobby and even rolled my eyes at him. So of course I had to try again on this one.
Day 2- We had a great day Sunday morning, Bobby let me sleep in and Isaiah wasn’t being very cranky. We even got everything ready for church on time and wasn’t rushed for once. When we got to the church I was setting up the projector (i do all the media stuff) and Bobby said something and I took it one way, but he meant it another. Anyway, I lost patience again and snapped at him….try again tomorrow.
Day 3- YAY!!! I finally accomplished it. I didn’t say anything negative to Bobby. We even had 2 hard conversations that we normally argue during and we were able to talk about it without any issues! So on to Dare #2!!! I’ll let you know when I get it accomplished!
Neurologist
Isaiah went to the neurologist today for his follow up appointment. They said everything looked great!! They said that as far as they can tell at this point Isaiah will live a perfectly normal life despite what he went through at birth!!!! I’m so thankful for this. Now we just have to get through his appointment with the Rehab dr in Feb and I’ll feel like I can breath easy for awhile!! thanks everyone for praying!!!!!
work in progress
I’m in the process of changing my blog around so things might be a little all over the place. the links and tabs arn’t working right now so you won’t get anything if you click on them!!! I’m working on getting it right but it might take a few days. i’ll let you know when it’s back up and running!
Bye Bye 2008
2008 was really a crazy year for me. It seems like our lives changed in a million different ways this year. We left our church that we had been at for 4 years, Bobby is no longer a youth pastor, we started planting The Ridge, Bobby got a new job, we got a new house, we had Isaiah, we got a new car due to me being in a car accident, Chris and Melis had a baby……..and tons of other things!!!! It really was an eventful year. I have to say though that I am so excited about what 2009 is going to bring. I’m not one to make or keep New Years resolutions, so for 2009 all I’m going to say is that I pray that I do the best I can with all that God has given me and that my ultimate goal is just to make him smile!!!
last post
Okay this should be my last post and I should be caught up. 2 of my former small group girls are in from college for break and Isaiah and I spent some time hanging out with them the other day. It was such a pretty day so we went down to the river and walked and talked!! Thank girls for hanging out with us!!! We had so much fun catching up with you all!!! Love you both!!!

random
Isaiah had to go to the dr on New years eve because he has really bad acid reflux and it was really bothering him. He’s on meds now, which basically just seem to knock him out, which I don’t like. I’m hoping he gets use to it and it doesn’t make him sleep so much. He also has an ingrown toe nail so now he’s on an antibiotic for that. He will be 3 months old next week. he is 24 1/2 inches long now and weighs 12lbs and 6 oz. I can’t believe how big he is getting!!! He has gotten so much more animated lately and has really developed his own personality. He loves just laying in the floor and playing…he just coos away!!! He HATES riding in the car. I’ve never seen a baby hate it so much! He just screams!!! Did that happen with any of your children??? If so…..what did you do!!! I’ve tried the baby einstein CDs, putting a mirror in front of him, different toys, I talk to him, I sing to him…..still he doesn’t like it. If you have suggestions I’d love to hear it!!!!
