October Already?

Ok, so I don't know what the deal is, but this year is FLYING by. I remember feeling like months were ticking by while I was younger, always waiting for the next big thing to come along, and now I stand in shock that this month my son will be two and my daughter will be three. Weren' t were just celebrating their 1st and 2nd birthdays yesterday? Sheesh.
Well, several things are coming up... I'm going to visit my grandparents this week. Leaving on Friday, coming back Tuesday. I'm SUPER excited. I'm ready to go help go through boxes (they're in the process of moving to Ohio), relax with my grandpa, chat for hours with my granny and spend quality time with Bethany and Danae. Pray for safety and patience for the kids, cuz we'll be in the car for 12 hours!
The kids' birthdays are coming up. Caden will be 2 on October 23rd and Bailey will be 3 on October 25. So, on October 24th I will be the mother of two 2 year olds! We are having a party for both of them on Saturday, the 23rd. You are all invited. I ordered invitations yesterday from Target Portrait Studio (where else!?) and I should get them back on the 8th, so you should be receiving invitations shortly after. I took pictures for them and really want to share them with you, but then the invitations won't be a surprise, so you shall have to wait.
I get to see my family in 54 days. This brings so much joy to my heart. I am so, incredibly ready to see them, hug them and talk, I want to talk for hours! As much as I love calling my mom, I want to see her face, see her reactions when I tell her things, see her roll her eyes when I tell her other things. I love people. I love talking to people's faces. That's just me.
So, there is a little update for everyone. Things are going extremely well in the Clark household. Work for both of us is going well, the kids love their preschool and are always excited to go. God is watching over this little family on 21st street and I praise Him for His continued faithfulness in our lives.
I am blessed.

    I hope you have a great time with G&G. I'm sure they are so excited to see you. And we just might be a tad excited to see you in November. Just a tad.

What Fun!

Life has been busy, crazy but oh, so FUN! In the past week, I've gotten to go to the Bahamas with my friend and I got to spend 24 hours with my dad who was in town for a 50th anniversary celebration. Both adventures were so incredible and made me remember that even though I'm hot, pregnant and cranky, at times, I am so amazingly blessed. I met my best friend, Sarah, in 1991. I was in 1st grade and she was in 2nd. We met at church and have been buds ever since. We got to celebrate our 20th anniversary with a 5 day trip to the Bahamas where we were on a resort and got to relax. We left our husbands and kids behind for a few days resting and enjoying each others company. It was so incredible! This is the view we saw for 4 days, lying on the beach, reading and relaxing. It was so incredible and such a blessing that we were able to go. We got to go sailing, snorkeling and relax by the beach. Sarah even got to do the trapeze. I didn't, due to the baby in my womb (and because I

My Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Image
So, as many of you know, we bought a house in May of 2008 that was quite a fixer-upper. It was a foreclosure that had been empty for 2 years! We have spent the last 8 months scrubbing, painting and getting the inside just the way we want it. We have bold colors on the walls, family pictures everywhere, new wood floors down and pretty lighting fixtures that really lighten up the place. But, the thorn in my side has been the outside. Due to the fact that it was empty for so long, the trim went from hunter green, to hideous turquoise. The main color used to be a yellowish cream and now looks more like a very light pink. (yick!) Well, all that changed this weekend when my wonderful in-laws came over and helped us paint. The BEFORE: (boo!) The AFTER: (hooray!) Thank you so, so much to the Clarks and to Jason for working so hard to make our house look so wonderful. It truly feels like our home now.

Sushi Night 2012

Image
 This Christmas we made sushi with my family in Montana. I made one semi-successful roll and really loved it! I thought that sushi was exclusively in the seafood category, so I never really tried it, but I learned that you can put chicken and beef in sushi, so we have started trying new things and decided to have a sushi party. We bought a sushi rolling kit at Target and bought out the Asian food aisle at Reasor's. Then it was time to clean. As most of you know, my children are incredible. They are well behaved, they are brilliant and lately, they've become extremely helpful! I gave them each jobs and they did great! Caden helped load the dishwasher, vacuum the living room carpet and wipe down the tables. Bailey cleaned the front bathroom and swept the floors. While they didn't do a perfect job, they were so cute and both just wanted to help. It was awesome.   Finally it was time for the party. We had 2 couples over from church with their kids and then a couple fro
