Busy Days

I have never been so busy and so content at the same time. I have so many things to do and so much to cause me stress but I’m not feeling stressed about any of it. I actually feel excited about each project and enjoy doing each thing.

Tomorrow is Owen’s birthday. I’ll probably take him to a park or something just to try to entertain him a little extra. Grandma asked for pictures, and I hope to take some video as well.

This weekend is a birthday party for Owen and I don’t have a lot planned for it other than expecting to laugh a great deal over him burying his face in cake. I bought some little party plates, napkins, and a tablecloth but it’s not going to be much of a big deal. I am planning on feeding everyone pizza and then we’ll all dive into some cake and ice-cream. To me…that’s just the perfect meal.

The next weekend is A Girl Thing in honor of my friend Tisra and her upcoming arrival of baby number three…a girl of course. We (Amy, LaDonna and I) are having a good time getting ready for this thing. The invitations are out and the decor is mostly ready to put up. As I have been preparing for this I’ve been thinking it would be good to have a Girl Party at least once a year. We’ll see.

The next week Kris is probably going to have to go out of town for some training and then the weekend will see him at a meetings here in town. I will be helping Tisra host another baby shower type event. This one will include a going away party for the parents as well as a celebration of the new baby. I’m a little behind on invitations for this one but hopefully I can catch up by tomorrow.

The last weekend of the month, Kris and I will be taking our Sunday School Class and anyone else who wants to join us, to Fall Creek Falls. I can’t wait.

November is stacking up pretty tightly too with a possible trip to Dallas, our 7 year anniversary and a definite trip to Florida for Thanksgiving. I’ll try to keep you all posted on the survival of our little family.
