...I am updating!!! :) C & A ;P

Hubby and I are quickly approaching our 1 year anniversary :) So hard to believe! This has been a fast year! An awesome, incredible, fun, sometimes challenging...you get the idea. :) I will save that for a future post :) I said that to say that there were some things that I said I would never do/wouldn't do for a looong time. I have spent the last 354 +/- days eating some serious crow. :P Allow me to list a few :)

1. Have children before our 5 year Anniversary. :D Y'all know that story, and Baby Boy is bouncing around in my tummy as I type :) (Oh, did I mention we're having a boy????!!!! :D)

2. Can food/have a garden. I don't have a garden this year-we are planning a small one for next year. Baker and I also spent some time in the garden. Want to have some fun? Take a 2-yr old into the garden with you and let him pick to his heart's content! :) And I spent more time helping my mother can this year than I have in all previous 29 years of my life. We also have plans to do apples in the next few weeks :)

3. Quit my job. You know that story too. Do I miss it? The job, yes I do sometimes. But only a few of my coworkers :) I am thoroughly enjoying my work in the church office though, and being able to be home more.

4. Use these (points downward) on my husband's head.

 See these??? Yup, they are clippers. I "swore" I would never cut my husband's hair. "There are plenty of people who are trained to do that, and I'm more than happy to pay them!" were my words. Up till 3 weeks ago, this remained true. We did pay them. Then one evening Hubby, needing a haircut and no shops being open, approached me with his clippers. With a smile he said "Either I cut my hair, or you do", and turns to walk to the bathroom. Yup, I followed him. I cut his hair. VERY cautiously at first :P By the time we were done, it looked pretty good :) Even if I do say so myself! :D And yes, I was asking myself afterwards why we have been paying someone all this time to do it when it was so easy! :P

5. Enjoy cooking/baking. I have gotten over this quite quick! I especially love to bake. I LOVE when my house smells of homemade bread! I plan to post some recipes of different things I have made/tried :) I am even cooking with fresh onions now! I DO NOT like onions, so this was kind of a big deal :) I've even branched out and used fresh garlic, thanks to the urging encouragement of Ang and Em :)

 And ya know what???? My mama said at one time or another that all of these would happen eventually :) Well, all but the haircut one :) But she was the first one I wanted Hubby to show his haircut to! :) Mama's usually are right, aren't they?! :)
