jibberish of mine.


I am so loving this beautiful weather and pray that it stays this way and that it wont take two steps back bringing about a cold front. Sunshine, flowers blooming, day light in the night, short sleeves, flip flops- I simply love it. I love them on my little one as well, I love being able to see his little body in all its sweetness. However, this time brings about allergies and in all honesty I hate that part of it. I never really was bothered with allergies until last year, and I suffered. I once took pride that I didn't have to battle them, well- I had to eat those words. Unfortunately, Logan has been battling them himself- and it's pitiful. The runny nose, sneezing, watery-puffy eyes, stuffed-up, coughing- it has been the pits for him and for us because it has been messing with his night time sleep, I guess not being able to breathe properly will do that to ya, poor guy! When this time of the year rolls around I usually like to go and lighten my face up so to speak. I like for my hair to be a little bit lighter in the Spring/Summer and darker in the winter. It has been FOREVER since I went and had anything done. So my wonderful husband scheduled me an appointment and my sweet boys are treating me to a new do. I'm not going to cut it much- just shape it up because it has grown out SO much. The color is the main thing and I love highlights, they light up my face. I am excited about this weekend, getting together with friends, Easter egg hunts, coloring eggs, the "Easter Bunny" and time with family. I can't wait for lil' man to find eggs- he is a little runner now, so he will be absolutely adorable hunting with the others! A picture perfect opportunity. Last year he was so young we pushed him around and he ended up finding all the money eggs- hopefully, he will have the same luck this year. All of his money from any kind of occasion goes straight into his savings account so that one day he will have a good treasure chest.


We recently took Logan to see "How to train your Dragon"- what a great movie, I give it two thumbs up. They had a viking that we got to take our picture with at the theater, pretty awesome if I do say so myself. He has since then been fascinated with Dragons and collected as many as he can from Happy Meals. Speaking of movies, there are several that I am looking forward to seeing on DVD and the theater. I still haven't seen the Blind Side and I know it has to be great, as well as Sherlock Holmes. I am looking forward to seeing Clash of the Titan's, Nightmare on Elm Street (possibly for a girls night out with my dear friend), Hot Tub Time Machine (I personally think it will be hilarious and I love John Cusack), The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Date Night, Letters to Juliet, Robin Hood, Eclipse (with the girls), Killers, Iron Man 2, and so the list goes on and on- it's a good thing we are getting our date nights back.


So, the time is drawing near and I cannot believe that its almost time to say goodbye to good ole' RC. My how I will miss thee, I speak as though I will never be coming back- which is not the case. We have been making progress on the house, slowly but surely and it is so weird with most all of our furniture out of it, it lacks the pizazz now and the whole house echoes, of which Logan finds funny. We are ready to get the show on the road and excited about all the up and coming unknown. I hope this entry finds everyone doing great and as excited as I am.

Unforgettable.

~
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
~
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Goodbye's and Hello's.


THE HULL FAMILY IS MOVING...
yes, you read right and not just around the corner- across the state line into- drum roll please...Tennessee. It's all so surreal to me- like any minute we will say JUST KIDDING and go on about life where we are now. Why, you may ask or wonder are we moving?!?! Bruce has been given an opportunity to own his own business and the possibilities are extraordinary, we would be CRAZY not to grab hold and go. We are moving to better ourselves and our lively-hood. The opportunities that are there for Logan are endless; great schools, great jobs, great colleges. We are moving to be with our family again, for Logan to be able to grow up with his family involved in his life....date nights will be re-instated-YES! There is so much to see and do there, so many places to shop. Us girls are thinking about starting up girls night out(s)- dinner, movies, shopping, pedicures- all that stuff us girlie's love to do. We are very excited about building our future, building our retirement, not only making a living but making a life. This new chapter that we are entering into- has not been an easy one and has been considered with MUCH thought and countless prayers. We have so much peace about it and are beyond excited to get the show on the road. I am so proud of B for making such a hard decision and really figuring out what he wants out of his life- our life. I can't wait to see him "in action" of which is another plus, I get to work with him, help him, be a part of his workdays- we will be building our lives together hand in hand- with little man! I plan to work on building my photography business there as well- hoping and praying that it takes off. I know it will take some time, but I pray it gets there. Until then I will still be taking appointments from here and hitting the roads to keep them, because it's my passion- I have keep up my practice. It's going to be a lot of hard work- but as long as we are together, we can do anything, we will make it happen. I can see that Tahoe in my future- "I am coming for you gorgeous!"- If you don't know me well a Tahoe is my most favorite, most lusted after vehicle, and the hubby has said soon and very soon, so we will see how "soon" it happens- I am eager for it to happen like yesterday (another yippee-yay!).
We have the "hardest" part emotionally- done...the breaking of the news to our family and great friends that are here. It was hard, it still is every once in a while when it hits me- but the great thing is we are only a couple hours away and can be home in the blink of an eye to see everyone, which I plan to do often. Logan has to see his bff, ya know. Lol! :) I am so thankful for the Internet which provides a way for us to keep in contact with each other- which is a must. I wish all our bags were packed...but they will be soon. I have no idea where to begin and the thought is so overwhelming. It is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in no time flat. We are supposed to sit down with each other tonight and get a game plan because B is really good at strategizing and thinking things out- getting a plan into action. I am going to take it slow (well, as slow as I can with leaving in a couple weeks) and go through everything, throw out, give away and sell on ebay.
I am leaving all the personal "baggage" that the big ole' RC holds here-of course I will keep the good memories close to my heart, always. We are starting new- a fresh start- a new us, a new beginning, a new outlook. It's a great thing, I am excited, nervous, encouraged, anxious, happy, sad, enthralled, eager, interested, safe, secure, peaceful, hopeful. "You say goodbye and I say hello! Hello, Hello." The future looks promising and bright.

"Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that change your life forever."
-Much love- and if you would like you can leave me some! :)

quote for the days ahead.

So you all know I love a good quote. To me- quotes are genious. They are encouraging words from someone who has already lived it and mastered at least that little corner of their life. So I take from their wise words and apply them to my own- hoping that maybe I learn a bit more by learning from them. Here are some quotes that I found today that I really like, there is always some quote that defines or see's you where you are at.

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”-Buddah

“Little by little one walks far”

“I shut my eyes in order to see.”

“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”

“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”- Agatha Christie

“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.”

“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”- Winston Churchill

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”- Winnie the Pooh (for my baby)

“You must know that in any moment a decision you make can change the course of your life forever: the very next person stand behind in line or sit next to on an airplane, the very next phone call you make or receive, the very next movie you see or book you read or page you turn could be the one single thing that causes the floodgates to open, and all of the things that you've been waiting for to fall into place.”

“It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear...It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to.”

“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.”

“If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.”

"I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it."

"In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back."

"Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I feel very peculiar. I feel like I've just got to bite a cat! I feel like if I don't bite a cat before sundown, I'll go crazy! But then I just take a deep breath and forget about it. That's what is known as real maturity."- Snoopy

"Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves and then we have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos."

“It's a troublesome world. All the people who're in it
are troubled with troubles almost every minute.
You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot,
for the places and people you're lucky you're not.”-Dr. Seuss

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”-WTP

“Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.”

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

“The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.”

“Family faces are magic mirrors looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future”

“When you look at your life the greatest happiness are family happinesses”

I think that should be all for now...more to come- I'm sure. After all they are my favorite. :)
