Life

Everyday I strive to be a better mom.  I wanna be that fun cool mom and that mom that has those fresh baked cookies to snack on when the kids walk in the door.  Although I dont do that cookie thing everyday and im sure im not as cool as I want to be.  

I never thought I'd have as many kids as I do now.  But I love each one of them.  I look forward to the twins getting bigger though.  I worry to much about there episodes and its hard to haul each of the kids to the store.  Well we havent tried to do that.  I hope we dont have to either!

I have to admit sometimes I hate living here and sometimes I love it.  Some of the down falls Ethan and I have I try my hardest not to think..if we still lived in Midland this wouldnt happen.  Point is I really dont know if it would or not and  I am happy to have left Midland.  But at the same time Midland holds so many memories its hard to start making new ones somewhere else.  And mostly the only reason I miss Midland is that is where my sister is.  Ok I miss the root beers there and the weather.  I envy the cold season Midland is having right now.  (even tho I hate the winter I stand tall loving my Texas heat no matter how hot and uncomfortable it gets)  Plus I think it will take me awhile to adjust to things that are different here. 

 Random fact..at gas stations here you cannot only get slurpee like you can just about any other gas station, you can also get a bag of peanuts (like all kinds boiled in different flavors) like bags like pop corn kinda bags...weird huh..haha

So I forgot to mention one of the things we did this last weekends was spending time at Virginia's (Ethan's mom) and I got to be apart of something I miss of my family.  Sharing stories of when we were younger.  I got to hear some of the stories of Ethan's dad.  I absolutely love hearing these stories.  It makes me feel like I am apart of this family and laugh together.  It also makes me miss his dad.  I wonder if that is far to say since we didnt get to know each other.  The only way I know him is from the days when he taught us during Sunday School.  I am extremely grateful that I at least have those memories of him.

Family is everything to me.  My best days here have been surrounded by family.
