Am I letting myself go???

Let me start by saying that I have never been happier and more satisfied than I am at this stage in my life. I feel complete with Robert and Austin. Robert and I focused for so many years on having a baby and now we have him....and now I am not quite sure what to do next...
I am a planner and I love to look toward tomorrow. It makes me happy and excited to anticipate what is next... I do believe that I have stalled out with my planner personality. Lately I am a 'living in the moment' kind of gal. Don't get me wrong, I like this too but I am coming to realize that this is not the only thing about me that has changed in the past year. I think I might be....LETTING MYSELF GO??? Let us not focus on that probability possibility, I need to focus on what I need to start back or just start doing. I made myself a little pick-me-up list that has the single purpose of motivating me to focus on me...not too much, but enough to get back to having hobbies and interests...I cannot even think of one hobby that I have right now...this is not a good thing!
Anyways, the LIST:

Start sewing again (maybe throw in some writing and drawing if I can handle sewing)

Eat healthier

Get a massage...this one is for you Melanie ;)

Go shopping for myself

Join the gym *don't judge me :P*

Read a book

Do something fun for my 30^th birthday...is that a three zero???

Only drink 1 carbonated drink each week (they are not doing the mid section any favors)

Take a good family picture, like frame-worthy

Plan a awesome party for Austin’s birthday

Go on a weekly date with Robert

Plan a relaxing vacation

Take a couples ballroom dance class with Robert

Plan and host a Girls’ Night

Update my blog at least monthly

 

Has it been that long?!?!?

I cannot believe it has been since February since I last posted. There is no way to recap so let me just start fresh...again! 

Robert is finishing up his Summer term and delivering pizzas at night. 

I am busy being mommy. I have been planning Austin's birthday party. Some may say this is a bit early, but hey! a lot goes into a kid's first birthday  :) I was recently called as the Primary President at Church and I am busy trying to figure out the whole primary thing. Who knew so much went into to this calling!!! 

Austin is getting so big! He is crawling like crazy, pulling up and "cruising". In the past week he started waving 'bye-bye' and standing alone. He is still waking up all through the night. Separation anxiety is in full swing and he is 100% momma's boy right now! He loves being outside, exploring the house, playing in his room and sneaking in mommy & daddy's room when the door is left open. He hates having is clothes changed and LOVES taking a bath or playing in the pool. He is our sweet boy that loves to snuggle and play with hair :)

I am not vowing to post more often or anything...but hopefully it won't take so long next time!

Here are a few pictures of our adventures in recent months...
