Time of my Life.

So we had several beautiful days back to back and boy were they wonderful...Today not so much, it's kind of a blah day. Don't get me wrong, I am actually a fan of dreary weather and rainy days. They are solemn and sometimes that's needed. I am ready for there to be continuous pretty weather, we have had so much snow and yucky-ness that I am ready to get outside and play and do outdoor things with my family. Pictures, galore- they are calling my name. The sun makes the eyes just GLOW and there is nothing more beautiful, nothing that matches a smile better than what I like to call "glowing eyes." I have spent all day at home and I have been thinking about this year- twenty-ten...all of the excitement that it holds and I get all giddy inside just thinking about it. I always like to share my excitement, because well, it's just impossible for me to contain.

This weekend is supposed to be pretty in South Carolina, so we are possibly planning a little trip to the zoo, YIPPEE! I want to go before it gets sooo hot that it's more miserable than fun. Both of my boys are super hot natured and can't take the heat in excessive amounts, lol... It's supposed to be sixty-seven degrees so that will be just perfect. We went to the zoo last year, which was great- however, this year is going to be so much better and I am sure that I will say that every year from here on out. Logan already knows most all of his animals and the sounds they make. We enjoy the zoo just as much...feeding the giraffe's will be very interesting this year, hopefully he wont shy away, fingers crossed. He is at the stage where he gets so excited and so amazed, his actions are just to die for. I am sure this wont be our one and only trip to the zoo this year- they have an event at Halloween and at Christmas that would be LOADS of fun to attend and we are surely planning on it!

My birthday is coming up- I always make a huge deal out of it and say that the whole month of April is mine...I don't usually get away with that- so I am always thrilled when I get to consider the whole week, or in this case the whole weekend as my own. My birthday is on a Friday this year (awesome!) We are going to TN. to celebrate with my family- the guys are going to take us girls to get a pedicure, MAYBE a manicure, I am thrilled for the pedicure- they are my fave! Birthday dinner of course, cake, chips- the whole nine...maybe a little shopping, hanging out, maybe the movies, andd we are planning on going to the Titanic museum that is opening the first of April- it looks AWESOME and the research that I have done (a.k.a seen the movie a million times, lol)- will help in the awesome-ness of the self-guided tour! I may be pressing my luck- but maybe another tat-with the hubbers?!?! That's my pre-candle wish, lol. I am really excited about my birthday, as if you can't tell. Hey...the way I see it- the day that you graced the world with your presence is pretty darn important and is REASON to celebrate.

I can see it now our toes in the sand and my little one RUNNING around on the BEACH! Our beach trip is planned and booked and I am counting down the days. We got a house with a golf cart which we are THRILLED about. Everything about the beach is so wonderful. We have many plans once we get there and places we love to eat every year. I always look forward to putt-putt, build-a-dino with the kiddo (he LOVES dinosaurs), the aquarium and of course, portraits on the beach!

(maybe a second trip somewhere in here!)

Holidays- holidays are tradition which makes them s'wonderful, s'marvelous! Halloween- I am already thinking and planning what we will be this year. Love going trick-treating (as I like to call it.) Thanksgiving and Christmas- are the best. Love the smells, the family- but right now I am ready for SPRING AND SUMMER.

last but defiantly not least: Is it crazy that I am already thinking and planning Logan's second birthday?!?! Cuz I am- I am a HUGE party planner- I love to do it up nice and BIG. As I said earlier, birth-days are VERY IMPORTANT and for me there is not one more important than Logan's. It's the most fun to plan and think about, and giving him presents WHOOOO...The actual planning is a gift in itself for me, I enjoy it so much. I love to do things different and incorporate creative-ness, I think I have a tid-bit here and there. I have several ideas already, I am leaning towards one in particular...but of course nothing is set in stone yet. I so don't want the year to fly by, but I am anxiously awaiting this most important day.

So- that's my year at a glance...all the major highlights. There are very important things/events along the way, families birthdays, holidays, fun stuff that we have planned and will plan along the way. All the simple moments that make life so grand...watching my baby grow, spending time with my husband and my family, simply everything. All the tiny details! Life is such a gift, I am so glad that we get to live it, to experience it, CAPTURE it. I want to live everyday to the fullest and I am working hard to accomplish that. It's so much fun. I have all the people I need around me. They are the best, most wonderful people I have ever met. Tis' another great thing about life...the people in it. I am having the time of my life and I hope this entry finds you doing the very same thing! Enjoy it!
