Lucky

have you ever had the opportunity to just sit and think about how lucky you are sometimes?

Whether is an experience that makes you think about it or just looking at another persons life?

Today after laying my daughter down for a nap and just sitting down on my couch to relax for a bit, I started to think about some recent events that have been happening around me and it made me realize how truly lucky I am.

I am lucky to have an extremely healthy child, she may not be the most well behaved at times but she is mine and I couldn't ask for anything more.

I am lucky to have such an amazing and loving husband,

I am lucky to have found him so early in my life,

I am lucky that he supports me so I can stay home with our baby,

and I am so lucky to have such a trusting and trusted husband

♥I Am Lucky That He Chose Me ♥

I am lucky to have such a supportive and caring family and group of friends.

  I AM LUCKY 

Speechless

Everyday I spend with this little girl the more and more she amazes me.

She is becoming more independent and is developing quite the personality. She is standing by herself (only for about a minute) but everyday she is staying up longer. Even if she falls down she isn't afraid to try again, no crying or whining she just gets back up and goes for it.

She is slowly learning to walk [with some hand holding of course] and I'm hoping Mr. W is the trick to her taking those first steps, when he comes home for RnR. I mean its worth a try, right? I hope so anyways.

and this brings me back to the fact that this little girl amazes me beyond words.

Happy Valentine's Day

Since today is valentine's day, and its Lilly's first I decided to maker her a special breakfast...

and I shaped them like hearts...

and Lilly loved them...

And we just wanted to say that we love you Mr. W and Happy Valentine's Day!

Let's Get Physical

When I was in Michigan for Christmas/New Years, my Mother-In-Law and I made a deal that for our new years resolutions She would quit smoking if I lost 20 pounds by the time we go up in March... and it was going great until I went completely off my diet while in Florida... I managed to gain back all the weight i had lost... yeah all 8 pounds! So when we got back home I had to start busting my butt to get back on track, my diet is working out well and working out was going well. Mr. W's PS3 is also our DVD player and he wanted me to send it to him, thus leaving me without a DVD player for my workout videos for an entire week and a half so I had to do as much as i could remember, but it just wasn't working as well as having someone tell me what to do...

And all of this brings me to the main topic of this post...

My new laptop has an HDMI hookup so I can now put the DVDs in my computer and watch them through my TV with sound and all... I was super excited when i found this out, because now i don't have to go and buy a new DVD player or wait for one to be sent to me i have on to hold me over... My diet and exercise have been saved by my laptop... thank goodness!

Tax Time

If any of you are like me you can't help but get excited about tax refunds... you start planning on what/where the money will go and be spent on, and check your bank account almost everyday watching to see if it has come yet. Well our refund came on Friday and it has been spent wisely. Bills have been paid and wanted items bought. Remember this post?

I didn't get the Uggs, the iPad or the sweet new jacket, but I did however get that sweet pink laptop! and  best of all it arrived at my house today, and I'm using it to type this post! And although I didn't get the iPad I DID get an iPhone 4! and I LOVE it.

Even Mr. W got in on the spending action and bought his Superbowl gear and laptop as you may have already read, I'm just thankful to know that he was able to get himself something nice... I'm anxious to see what he does for my birthday, which is in exactly one month... HINT HINT Mr.W and soon I have to start doing some birthday shopping for Lilly's first birthday... i can't believe that she is gonna be a year old next month. she is growing soooo fast. We are still hoping that Mr.W is able to come home for her big day ::fingers crossed:: Its gonna be an exciting time for our family, and i can't wait for us to be together again, even if it is only for a couple of weeks.

P.S. GO PACK GO

Go Pack Go!

So last night was a very exciting night in the Waye household. I am so excited! And some of you probably already know this but... The Green Bay Packers are the XLV Superbowl champions!!! It was so exciting. And thankfully Mr. W got to see the last quarter of the game. I laughed a little when the won thinking to myself about how it was just Mr. W's luck that the packers would win the super bowl the one year that he is away from home. But he was on the ball about the win and even managed to order a superbowl shirt already. So he was a happy guy last night between the win, the shirt, and him ordering himself a new laptop. But anywho... If any of you football girls are like me, it just isn't as fun to watch football games(especially the superbowl) alone, so of course I invited some friends over ordered some pizza and wings and let the goodtimes roll. And even when you only have 7 people over, you manage to get a hood variety of fans which makes things a whole lot more interesting. But Ll in all I'm happy to report that it was a good night. Even Lilly had a good time...
