Stressed is an Understatement


So here we are almost in April and our plate has become so full I am thinking about dumping it all in a mixing bowl just to make sure nothing falls in the cracks. I have so much going on right now I have to keep a daily calendar by my side at all times, or I will forget something. I just want to fill you in on everything we are doing right now....

  1. Softball - 5 Nights a week : Tues, Wed, Friday, Sat, & Sundays
  2. House Shopping- Have to find a house and have deposit by April 31st.
  3. Apartment Packing - Slowly starting the pack up process of moving out of the Apt.
  4. Wedding Planning - Save the Dates, Invitations, Engagement Photo's, Have started a Sponsor list and having to follow up with everyone.
  5. Weight Loss Extreme- Trying to lose at least 10lbs before I go try on a wedding dress in 3 weeks.
  6. March Dead Line - Army decision dead line is coming right around the corner (April 1st) So not knowing is killing me!!
  7. Money Crunching - Trying to nickel and dime everything so we can save for the house, Wedding, and honeymoon.
....all that and also maintaining House work, Dinner, Laundry and Me time!

I wake up everyday and the first words out of my mouth are.... " God give me strength!" I like to call my daily scheduled "Booked" I will tell you this having all this in my book makes time fly by. I can't believe we just celebrated Alex's 24th birthday last week on St. Patrick Day, and I had my 1st green beer ever!


I do have some good news after a long 2 weeks of praying and hoping my Uncle Roger will start showing signs of getting better he had a huge turn around on Saturday 19th and he got where he was breathing on his own. He is now doing much better, still the healing process is very slow and he will need a lot of time to get back to where he was, but I am just glad he is doing better.

Other than being super busy, and stressed all the time...I try to remember to breathe and just take a look at everything around me. Misty is getting so big I think she is over 30lbs now, and she def does not fit in your lap anymore. Alex's sister Erica is pregnant and due in July so we will have another little baby boy around soon. It will keep Alex's mom busy for awhile until we are ready to have kids in a few years.

Maybe she will stop asking.." When do I get grand babies from you guys" ..That's the last thing I could handle right now! So my goal for the rest of this month and next month is to Relax, save money, and take it day by day. April is going to be a good month!
Wish me luck!
