First attempt!!

Here it goes! This is my first attempt at the "blogging" idea, minus writing a few things to "update" when I had my Myspace account...

Days in the Saul household seem to be passing by me at a very fast pace. Taking care of Graysen during the day and going to school at night puts it's weight on my shoulders, but I am not complaining one bit. I am blessed that I have a beautiful family, and even more blessed that I am able to go to school with a child. The motivation drags somedays, yet I'm not sure if I "regret" not getting school out of the way with sooner, when I attempted the first time and quit. Then when I look back on it... I was just going to school to go to school, that's what you were supposed to do after High School right? I'm glad I did my thing, and lived a little bit because the Business degree that I thought I wanted wouldn't have done me much justice in the medical field that I have my eyes set on now! I know everyone says "things happen for a reason" but I don't think I grasp that until things in my life actually happen in that fashion.

On the baby note, Graysen is doing great! Besides these little colds she's been getting in this new year, she is growing and developing so fast! I never realized how fast they grow and how neat it is to see her try new things, and problem solve. She puts a smile on my face every day. Miss G is in a "mocking" stage right now though so I REALLY have to watch my mouth!  She will at least attempt so say every word you say, she is even more involved when she's in a new environment and you are pointing things out to her. She thinks she's "bigger" then what she is; At the park the other day dad joined us and she wanted to go on the swings, but NOT the baby swings. You put her in there and she would cry and say DOWN DOWN DOWN!! So dad put her on the big kid swings, and amazingly she did awesome! UNTIL she saw me, said MOM! and just let go :-(  Face flat into the dirt/wood chips! She holds on good but just didn't realize she can't just let go haha. I laugh but I did feel really bad! The tears lasted less then a minute, but the tears started pouring more when she got back up to do it again and I wouldn't let her! She's my tough cookie that's for sure!

March 5th I leave on my "vacation" I'm not to sure how I'm going to handle not having a baby on my hip and huband on my side. I'm going out to Hawaii to spend some time with a wonderful friend. I will be staying on Oahu for only a night and then we are going to Kauai (where her and I vacationed last time) to spend the rest of the week. I am more then ready to relax and be able to sit back and talk story. I'm not as "social" as I once was, belive it or NOT! haha I don't have a whole lot of friends here in VA so it will be great to spend time with Laycie, some girl time is MUCH needed. We have a few hikes planned which I'm very excited for, and of course some geocaching, my newest hobby WHEN I have time!!

That wraps the FIRST ATTEMPT up!! I will try to be on top of this blogging process! Thanks Christine, Cherise and even Tatianne! :-)
