Emotionally Drained!

What a looong day, Im soooo thankful its Friday, Two long days with my 2 favorite people!!! Yay the weekend is finally here!!!!

I just had a wonderful phone conversation with my beautiful cousin. She is a single mom, working hard to make the perfect life for her and her sweet little girl ! Tonight we talked about her struggles, we talked about  how unworthy she feels of love, how she thinks that no one will want to be with her,because she has a child, because in past relationships she has been called fat,ugly and worthless, I cant imagine her pain. I assured her that she is a beautiful person inside and out, and that God has a purpose for her life, and that eventually it will all be revealed and will all make perfect sense! I pray that she meets her prince!

In our conversation she pointed out something that I have been taking for granted for a long, long time, I told  her that tommrow night, Jon and I have been invited to have dinner with all of his supervisors from work. I was telling her how nervous I am about meeting these new people. She said " Heather why? Jon will be there with you, you wont be alone, she said you are never alone, you have the man of your dreams, hes always there for you no matter what, he loves you! She said If I had that I would never complain, I would never be nervous". I had to clear the lump in my throat before I could talk. Shes right I have been with Jon for 13 years, thats almost half my life. We have been together for so long, that I have taken him for granted. He is always there for me, he does love me unconditionally , and I am NEVER alone. God has given me the man of my dreams. I am a lucky girl. She gave me a lot to think about. Thank you I needed that! The man of my dreams needs to know how thankful I am to have him, and how much I love him.

Happy Friday!!

Yeap!! I should definetly be a SAHM!!!

I got to play SAHM today, I LOVED it. I'm pretty sure that I should be doing it everyday.  Even if I still got up at 5:30 am, and Landon didn't take a good nap till after 3, and there were tornado warnings all afternoon!!! It was so worth it and so much fun!  The day started off with a yummy breakfast of oatmeal and fruit, which both of us ended up wearing on our PJ's. Next we had a visit from our best friends Christina and Kai. Christina and I have been best friends since the 1st grade, that means we have been friends for 23 years! (Really?? Wow.... thats a long time!!) Christina and her husband Anthony adopted the most handsome little boy named Malachi  in April, he so sweet and so full of him self. Landon and Kai have been given no choice but to be friends, we have labeled them FBFF! (forced best friends forever) The boys played and played,had a mini photo shoot, and then off we went for a little shopping and lunch! Ill have to say I was more then wore out by the end of the day. Its def not easy chasing and man handling an 11 month old who doesn't just know how to walk but run!!! I loved every minute of it!

 Cool Kai

All Landon wanted to do, was love him and hug him!

I do realize that God has plans for me and right now being a SAHM, isn't one of them. I can be ok with that. I trust that what ever path God is leading me down its the right one for both Landon and I. Today was great. I sooooo look forward to our next day off together!!!
 

MAN!! THAT WAS HARD!!!!

OK!! I think Im finally getting the hang of this, It took me forever but I think I finally got my blog the way I want it!!! But who knows, Ill probably change my mind!!! LOL!!!!

Time!

I'm not really sure I ever understood how valuable time is, until Landon came along. Were does the time go, is the day already over?? Everyone knows that it goes by 10 times as fast when your having fun! Well Jon and I must be having the time of our lives right now! A year ago we were putting the final touches on a nursery, packing my hospital bag, and making sure everything was just right for Landon when he finally arrived. I can remember the first few weeks of Landon's life, I would sit and hold him and cry because he was one day older, and that also meant I was one day closer to going back to work. (YUCK) I dreaded going back to work, I prayed and prayed that something would happen that would allow me to stay home with my sweet little boy. Unfortunately  that didn't happen.10 weeks came and went in the blink of an eye.

I'm away from him for 9 hours a day 5 days a week, to me that seems like an eternity. I look forward to 5 pm everyday, that means just a few more mins till I get to see his sweet face!! Having a child puts a whole new perspective on time! Ive learned that you have to enjoy every second you get.  Iv learned  to sing, dance,  laugh and play just a little more,because  these are the moments, the seconds that you will never get back. Ive learned that pictures are priceless, and that they are the only way you can stop a moment in time!!  I never Imagined that such a small little boy could teach me so much about the value of time!

 

Welcome!

So I have been wanting to start a blog for some time now, but could never seem to get up enough nerve, Well here goes nothing!!!!! Hello, I'm Heather,  I married my High school sweet heart Jon in May of 2003, we dated for 6 years before we got married, I love him more and more every day, he has shown me that he is the most selfless, humble, passionate,loving man in the entire world. I thank God everyday for giving me this amazing man!! We Have the most handsome baby Boy ever his name is Landon, Today is his 11th month birthday,Happy Birthday Landon!!! I can honestly say that this last year has flown by faster then I could have ever imagined! Its been the best year of my life! It feels like it was just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant. Landon was born on November 23rd 2009, at 9:41 pm, he weighed 9 lbs. 0.2 oz and was 21.75 inches long, he was a big boy!!! My heart has never felt this much love, its describable. So I'm going to end it for now, but look forward to making many new friends and learning all kinds of awesome mommy things!!!!
