Fall update...

Well life is the usual busy and exhausting but fun! Ashley started preschool, i was weary the first week, but she loves it and now i do too!! She only goes 3 days a week, but wants to go more, i see this as a good thing! Tyler got his new big boy bed late september. He only fell out the first 2 nights and he has mastered it since and loves to snuggle under the covers. I am still training for my first marathon.... wade is too.... he's pulling extra alone time and dad duties, thanks! I wouldn't have been able to do it without him, Nana and Stacey helping to watch the kids so i can run for multiple hours! We took a last minute poorly planned trip to the beach... once we got there it was great, but getting there was a task! I was to have the car packed when wade got home from work, we would leave that night latest 8:30... well new tires ( from the flat over the weekend) amanda post call on about 3 hours of sleep, suitcase was packed but not in car... after getting gas and feeding nana's cat on the way out we left at 9:30. It was perfect weather once we got there... we just didn't have any sunscreen! Hello! but we survived and it gave us many laughs!

So to add to our beach trip, i dumped a whole sippy cup of milk the day we left in my car and kinda forgot about it, until wade went to the car the next morning and was hit with the aroma!! It poured rain the whole way there.... we are thinking this better be worth it! I lost my debit card running one morning ( why do i run with my card... to get breakfast afterwards!!) The list of craziness goes on, but this is what makes life memorable! I can't wait to reflect later this month will be Wade and I's 10 year wedding anniversary! Wow, It has flown by, i feel like i just married him yesterday, yet i also feel as though there was no life before him yet we have accomplished so much together he is the half that completes me, i am very lucky to have a wonderful husband and top notch Father of our kids! We are a very blessed family.
Until next time .... a script i came across tonight i love... i need to live by way more! ( for the worry warts like me...)
