When did my 3 year old become such a big boy?
Yesterday I realized we were out of pull ups so I decided to try something...
Big boy underwear! He got to pick them out (Spiderman of course)... He was so excited!
He stayed dry all day. I was a little nervous for overnight. But when I woke him today...
DRY!!
YES!
I may just have another potty trained boy!
So PROUD of him!

Random
I can't wait to get certain people out of my life and away from my family. These people are the poison in my life.
I can't wait for new beginnings.
I get married in 13 days.
Music has been my saftey shield lately. As always. More so lately.
I think its funny when people try to be your friend and then compare their lives to what they think yours to "find the truth". Nobody's business but ours. Thanks for playing though.
My life hours are draining every thing out of me.
I love our engagement photos.
The boys were in a parade yesterday. They loved it. It rained but it was fun!
I know you read this. Hope you enjoy what you see. I've moved on. Think its kinda funny you can't.
Winter is coming and I can't avoid it... I'm just hoping things will be just a little different this time around.

Make me better
As I sit here with Emily watching the Hawkeyes vs Arizona game, I listen to Curt gathering up his hunting stuff for the morning. Today was opening day of duck hunting, but he chose to stay with my sick self instead of go out. We spent all day together. Sleeping. Lunch. Just hanging around.
I needed it.
Tomorrow he is going to Minnesota to meet an idol of his. He's going hunting before he leaves and will be back after I'm at work, So I won't get to see him more than about a half hour tomorrow.
Monday he works.
Tuesday I've got my dress fitting and won't see him much.
I'm trying not to be selfish. But I want to be. I don't want him to go tomorrow, but I do. I want him to meet this person. I want him to have fun.
He is working two jobs to make things easier on me. To make things better for our family.
I hate being without him.
I don't want him to go to work. I want him to spend his days with ME.
I don't want to be selfish.
It is hard with the hours we work. When he gets home from being FF and goes to TBE I'm still asleep. When he gets home from TBE, I have to walk out the door to go to work. When I get home, we talk for 10 minutes, then pour ourselves into bed, crash and do it all over again the next day.
I want to be a better person. A better mother. A better wife.

Living for less
I am vowing to myself that I am going to adapt a more frugal lifestyle.
Trying new money saving tips.
Making your own laundry detergent? Seems like a big money saver to me... Our family of 5 goes through a LOT of laundry. I found a site with a recipe for detergent that for one batch - supplies cost about $5 and does about 50 loads of laundry. One of the large Tide detergents is about $30 and does 96 loads. Even I can do the math on that one.
Making your own dog food? Not so much. For as much as my two dogs eat I'd be forever making dog food.
Using the dryer less. Lights off. Adjusting the thermostat. Drink more water. Making bread instead of buying it. That one is a double bonus... I love the smell of fresh baked bread & love making bread.
I'm loving some of the things I'm coming across! Some - not so much. Get rid of a car? Not feasible. Downsize our house? I don't think so.
Continuing on with this quest!!

31 days
There have been some big changes around here
Hunter started school... Ian is *GASP* potty trained... Emmy is just GROWING...
Curt started working a few hours a day at his friend's boat shop. He is loving it... I'm getting used to seeing him less. Hopefully that will chang soon.
We've been reminded that when something happens that is not according to what you thought was going to happen, that we have *great* family and *amazing* friends that rally and support us.
We are looking into some new directions with our lives... New opportunities and new adventures...
Wedding planning has TAKEN OFF! It kind of had to. Shortly after my last post with wedding frustrations Curt and I started talking. We discussed a lot of different options and ultimately decided to move the wedding date. Up. A year. It is next month. 31 days from today. People were right... It is all falling together perfectly. We've had a few hiccups but we are in steamroller mode and won't let anything or anyone bring us down.
I can't wait!
