I was cheerfully (yeh right) finishing the load of dishes for the evening and making my way into the living room when something under my bare foot went squish.....
Now as a mother of a two year old and a one year old I have become quite familiar with the numerous amounts of nastiness that wind up on the floors daily. It has just become routine that no matter how much I clean behind them they will make a mess and it will be gross. HOWEVER...squish is NOT something I am okay with. Even less so when it is on my carpet and under my BARE FEET.
So my first thought is "Dear Lord- please don't let this be chewed up food". I am terrified to look. Literally it was like a scary movie where the next one in line to die becomes rooted to the spot as doom approaches and the music gets scarier. So I am standing there with my foot still planted on the yet unidentified grossness with my eyes closed and THEN IT HAPPENS.
Ashton starts laughing and I hear feet running away from me. I painfully open my eyes to see what is happening and very promptly see Ty's shiney hiney running away and Ashton laughing while holding Ty's diaper in his hand....which is NOT clean.
"Dear Lord- I CHANGED MY MIND! PLEASE LET IT BE CHEWED FOOD UNDER MY FOOT! PLEASE PLEASE!"

Major Life Changes
God is just blessing our socks off around here, so I finally felt the need to post about it!
My first semester back in college went GREAT, I finished with a 3.69 for the semester (not quite a 4.0 but hey, I will take it)! I am currently in the process of finishing my TAMU paperwork, and am picking out Aggie classes for the fall. Don't worry, when I finally get to set foot back on campus as an Aggie again EVERYONE will know! There will be a major amount of WHOOPING going on I promise.
Dave and I have started the contract paperwork for our very first house. The loan has been approved, and we are going to the builders warehouse tomorrow to pick out flooring, countertops, etc. Now for most people this would not seem like that big of a deal I am sure, I mean we are 30 yrs old, most people our age already have a house. Well, we have lived in the most awful apartment for the past year and half because it was cheap, and well we could afford it. So the fact that we will now have a big garden tub (because I won't even take a bath in the one we have now), two bathrooms, and a big fenced back yard, and three bedrooms, and wood floors (because our one year old is allergic to carpet).... you guys have no idea. I have been on the verge of tears all day because my little heart can't contain my excitement!
I feel like God has allowed us to live through these first three years of our marriage and struggle like we have in order for us to reach this point so that we can fully appreciate our blessings. We have hit one huge mountain after another...but rather than give up we have learned to appreciate the beauty of the mountains that we have had to overcome. And now we will be able to enjoy the mountaintop while eating in our very own brand new home.
I truly feel like Cinderella ... my dreams are coming true, I am going to be an Aggie again, with a beautiful family and a home to call my very own. It has been a long time coming all I can say is God is GOOD...so Gig'Em all, Bless 'Em all, and Love to Everyone who might read this.
