Happy Tuesday!

I honestly forgot I had this blog. How awful is that?! Early 2013, Zac accepted a job in Sherman, so back to Texas we went. We have both lived in Texas our whole lives, so nothing against Ardmore, but Texas is our home and probably always will be! I miss my Ardmore peeps though. Our little guy is now a year and a half! I can't believe that! My goodness, it's almost time to start planning his 2nd b-day. (Honestly, those of you who really know me, know that I've already started planning. There is nothing more fun than planning Kaden's birthday party!) The theme will be Cookie Monster and Pinterest has SO many cute ideas. I can't wait! It's so much fun to see Kaden's personality come out more and more everyday. He's such a joy and a blessing! Someday down the road he will have a little sister, but right now we are just enjoying little Kaden :) This Summer, we took Kaden on a boat and he HATED it. I mean absolutely hated it! The life jacket was all up in his face and he was just miserable. He just didn't understand why he had to wear that stupid thing and he wanted it OFF! We were hoping he would have more fun because he's such an outdoor boy. He will love the lake when he's older though. We want to be fun parents and take him to all kinds of cool places! Also, I've done a lot of thinking this Summer. Well, too much thinking. I know for a fact that I will walk across a stage at a college and get a degree. I just know it. My motivation is incredibly high. The problem...I can't decide what darn degree I want! There are almost TOO many career options out there to choose from, and I can't seem to pick one. One moment, I want to be a teacher, which is what I've wanted to do for quite some time now. The next moment, I can't see myself as a teacher at all. Then, I want to have my own in-home licensed daycare. Then, I want to have my own bakery/winery. Then, then, then, blah, blah, blah. If any middle school or hs students for some reason read this blog, please think long and hard about what you want to do in life BEFORE you graduate. That way, you will have somewhat of a plan. You may change your mind a couple of times, but you will be focused on getting that degree. When I was 18, I was so determined to move out on my own and be ms. independent that college was the absolute last thing on my mind. I was way too much in a hurry to become an adult that I didn't go to school right away. I knew I would go someday, but I should have gone right away. Sure, I've taken a few college classes here and there, but I'm 29 and not finished yet. I know 29 is not old, but I should have my degree now. In fact, I should have had it years ago. On a happier note lol!!! I am SO excited about fall. I found the most adorable pumpkin wreath on Pinterest and I can't wait to make it. Fall is less than 2 weeks away and I will more than welcome cooler temps in Texas. Pumpkins will overtake my house yay! Have a wonderful day my sweet friends :) Jenny

Do you like hot air balloons as much as I do?

I LOVE hot air balloons. If you want something extra cool to do this weekend, come to The Sky's the Limit Balloon Spectacular in Gainesville September 13-15. Zac's band, Midnight Drive, plays at 7:45 on the 14th right after the balloon glow! So excited! For the full schedule and more info, go to www.theskysthelimit.org. Hope to see you there!
