It's been a while...

Today marks the first official day of my Spring Break!! Hallelujah! TGISB! Anyways, I am sitting here at 10:00am waiting on Beckham to wake up because today also marks the first official day of potty training! EEEKK! Yall, say a prayer for us. We are trying the Naked 3- I read about it here. So it will be three days of Beckham running around naked. I'm really hoping this works and I know it's all about consistency and MY attitude towards training. Just pray.

Anyways, so here's a bit of an update on the last four months. -I know it's been four months because my last post was about the day my BFF's baby, Keely was born.- Yes, the title is appropriate. It's been a while...

Let's see- Butch lost his job. :( anddddd we moved! Yep, that's about it. HA!

No seriously, the school year is almost over. I'm potty training Beckham with makes me happy and sad at the same time. I can't believe he is old enough to potty train and yet, he is. And HE needs to be potty trained...

Okay, I feel like I am rambling and not making much sense at all. It must be the two Zeals I drank this morning at 8:00am when I woke up. Yes, it is now 10:15am and Beckham is still asleep.

On a more serious note. I really have a prayer request with everything going on with our lives. We are in a tough patch right now and just need prayers. Buying a house and looking for a job at the same time is both very exciting, confusing, and stressful and we just need prayers to lift all of us out of this funk and onto the other side of what feels like a mountain.

And here's my perfect child:

Recap of October

So.... October was an incredible month!! I previously wrote I would be starting October 12th... but I ended up starting October 1st! So far it has truly been a dream! I love it so much!! I actually can't wait to get up and go to work everyday! It has been so fun getting my room decorated and all of my stuff organized. Apart from having to leave my baby boy, this job has really been amazing. Although I HATE leaving him in the mornings, I know I am so lucky to have great family to keep him everyday! Thank God I don't have to deal with Daycare! The best part is when my Mother-in-law keeps him I usually just stay at her house so I never have to wake Beckham up in the mornings. It is GREAT!

I have been quite busy (which explains the lack of posts lately) and to be honest- the month of October literally FLEW by. So here's a recap and photo dump...if you will.

BIG DROOL

YAY!

I have so much to be thankful for this week! Well every week actually but this week has been/is AWESOME! Let me explain.....

Monday: Beckham & I had a little shopping trip to the local Wal-Mart and Dollar Store in search of some Fall decorations. I found a few things but I was really looking for some plastic pumpkins to make this. But, I couldn't find any that weren't tiny so I just got a scarecrow instead! :) Anyways, Beckham did great on the trip, fell asleep on the way home and took a 2 hour nap. All in all, a good day!
Tuesday: BIG INTERVIEW! It went greatttt! I just didn't want to get my hopes up so I pretty much just kept to myself!
Wednesday: 9:30am. I GOT THE JOB! WOOHOO! I start October 12th, yes, like in two extremely short weeks. Kind of freaking out but, I know it will all work out. I am so stinkin' excited and ready to get going. I know it is going to be so hard to leave my little boy but it is going to be so great for our family in the long run! Also- Since last Wednesday I've lost 7 lbs! Bye bye baby weight!
Thursday: Beckham ate from a spoon for the first time! He loved it! I mixed applesauce and cereal and he ate every bit! Such a big boy!
Friday (tomorrow): DADDY COMES HOME! Oh my goodness. I'm not real sure about Beckham (being that he can't talk and all-I'm sure he feels the same way) but I am so dang ready for my sweetie to be home! It has been a long, crazy hitch and we are ready for him to be home with us!
