School Pics 2014
We have Jaxson in a Primrose school, and we LOVE it! The staff is amazing and he's learning so much more than I believe he would be in a MDO program or Preschool. I'm so thankful for his school!

30 Things Before 30...WOW...
So...4 years ago...yes FOUR years ago...and as a lovely 28 year old...I made a list of 30 things I wanted to do before I turned 30. I stumbled across this post while I was looking through my blog for my Summer Squash Bake (which I've now pinned so that exercise should never happen again...lol). I thought it would be fun to see what progress I've made...and how these things have changed!
1. Read the Bible. Yes, all
of it. Well...this didn't really work out. BUT - I've honestly made great progress. I'm 83% of the way through!
2. Become and active and contributing member of a Church. YES! We've joined Fairfield Baptist Church, and I've been getting active! I've done two of the women's bible studies and I substitute in the nursery from time to time.
3. Treat my Mom to a spa day. Done!
4. Get Jeff a racing day. Oh goodness...I think he's had at least a dozen.
5. Organize my recipe book. Done!
6. Get on a schedule where I make a point to see my girlfriends once a month. Both sets of them. I'm getting better at this one!
7. Get hardwood floors! - Well, we bought a new house...so we have all new floors!
8. Pay off my new car - Well, it's not new anymore...but it's just about paid for... turns out a child was more expensive than I ever could have imagined!
9. Finish emergency fund. Well, I finished it for what my target was at the time, but due to our standard of living changes I'd like to have a larger one in place.
10. Work out 3x weekly for a month Yeah...this one was a fail. Life is too busy for this right now.
11. Organize closets (all three of them!) - Done!
12. Paint our home - all the rooms! - Done in our old house! Thankfully I don't want to paint anything in the new house!
13. Buy bedroom furniture - Done!
14. Daily devotionals - Doing them! Spending time with God daily makes a HUGE difference in my day. I can totally tell on days where I don't take the time.
15. Join a volunteer organization - Done!
16. Tithe the entire 10% - Always - no matter what. I have done this & I, am very happy that I have. I feel like I am doing the right thing, and showing God how grateful I am and that I can be a responsible steward of his money.
17. Adopt a family for Christmas - Yes! This is our second year doing this and I LOVE it!
18. More DIY projects - I know I can be crafty! I've done quite a few, and plan on doing more!
19. Have a booth at a craft show - This is likely never going to happen, I work too much unfortunately.
20. Take a wine 101 class - Done! In Fredericksburg! It was great!
21. Have wedding dress cleaned / repaired - Done! It's all cleaned and boxed up...for something...
22. Make a scrapbook for 2009 - There is no time for things like this...
23. Finish wedding book - Done!
24. Order wedding album - Please don't judge...We've been married 5 years and I haven't even thought about it...maybe in 2015
25. Get rings sautered - Done!
26. Buy Jeff a nice watch - Oops...sorry honey. You've taken up racing one a month instead :)
27. Get a T-Shirt quilt made - This one is still on this list...it's just finding the time...
28. Refinish table in the man room - I can't even remember what table I was talking about...so we will just conside this one done...
29. Sew stockings from wedding fabric - I ordered stockings from Pottery Barn...no need for this one any longer!
30. Sew tree skirt from wedding fabric - I still want to do this!
It's so fun looking back and seeing how much things have changed! Looks like I accomplished 23 of the 30 tasks...I think I'll take it! Perhaps I should make a before 35 list....
