What A Lovely Day in the Neighborhood...

The sun is shining!!! Woo Hoo! Dare I say Spring is rearing is beautiful head!?!? I'm over snow. I want sunshine. I'm ready to take the girls to the park, let them expend all their energy and stock up on Vitamin D.

Today we've got a hair appt, I really want to get a pedicure. I know I shouldn't spend the money but I'm in desperate need! Marcia is teaching GROOVE tonight! What a fun way to burn calories. Okay, now to get the girls dressed and on the road.

So much for those plans....

Well, I'm thinking the Radiography may be a no go. Just when I have things planned out, the universe has itself a good belly laugh and then proceeds to give me a swift kick in the rear. I'm trying to be positive as I have put A LOT of prayer into these decisions. So I am assuming God is using these roadblocks to say "No, this direction is not my will for you." I'm cool with that. This verse spoke to me: The Message: Proverbs 3:5-7 “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil!” He's the one who will keep you on track....I believe it.

Lachlan and Leora are growing up so fast. Lachlan has a "mommy complex". It's so funny to watch. She wants to be the boss of the world. Too much like her darn momma. Leora is just laid back, doesn't concern herself with what others are doing. As long as she's got some juice and a buddy (what she calls her blanket) she's all good. I need to buy a notebook and begin to write down all the crazy things the girls say. They are true entertainment. Well, off to tend to my domestic duties...the kitchen awaits!

New Year, New Goals, New ME

Life in 2010...wow, seems odd to say that. I guess the word for the year is "changes". The majority of the changes are really good things. I start back to college on March 31. I've decided, after much prayer for the Lord's will, to persue radiography. I have my little roadmap, it's very exciting. Brian has also decided to go back to school for radiography. I'm still working on his roadmap :) We have BIG goals and dreams, but right now our focus is on school and excelling there. So 2010...let's do this!

It's been a while...

I've completely neglected my blog. Lots of things have been going on for the Hall family the past few months. I'll have to do a more detailed blog soon. Right now I've got to get dressed to go KICK some....hopefully people will show.

It's Official...

I give up. That's it. I'm a quitter. I try and try and try. My children are so horribly behaved, I don't know what to do with them. I wish I could take a vacation and not come back until they are grown. My life feels like it's falling apart. I'm tired of the "Oh, you just have to have a good attitude about it" speech. To heck with that. Live a day in my shoes and then you can talk to me about attitude. Yes, I know it could be worse. Yes, I know there are people around the world that would trade positions with me. But you know what, I don't have the energy or support for that to affect me. I just don't. I am lucky that I just push through each day. I know in my head that this won't last forever, atleast I'm hoping to God that it doesn't, but that doesn't change how I feel right now. So call me what you will, think of me what you will, but that's my stance.

Bring out the black balloons :)

Well, today is my 30th bday. Ugh. I've been dreading this bday for a while. Let's just hope that year 30 blows year 29 out of the water!!! I could use some heaven sent blessings :)

Last night we went to Longhorns for dinner. Well, attempted dinner. They burnt everyone's (with dad being the exception) dinner...not just a little overcooked, we're talking charcoal BLACK. It was bad. This morning I met my wonderful friend Haley, who got me a massage certificate and a box of Spark!!! Yay!! She's a great friend. This evening mom, Josie, Lachlan and I are going shopping. We have pics scheduled with the lovely Nichol Engle on Friday. I'm praying we find what I want. I also need to visit Aveda. Til next time :)

You are greatly missed my sweet boy...

My precious Harley passed away on Sunday morning. This has been one of the hardest things ever. He has been a part of our family since August 1st 1998. He was loved, cherished, doted on.... He was my only son. He began having seizures a few months ago, I knew this time would come but I couldn't bring myself to think too much on it. Brian called me while I was at work to tell me that he had passed. I'm going to miss his little head tilt when I talked to him, his toenails tapping on the floor, the way he would get the hair bands out of my hair, his begging for spaghetti...and a million other little things. He may be gone but he will never be forgotten.

June 18th, 1998~October 11, 2009

I love you Harley
