Locked Out!

So today I told my friend Tabitha I would take her to base to get her son's PCM reassigned. She needed a ride and it gave me something to do while Jacob slept to prepare for tonight. So around 11 he left for Wendys and I left to get Tab. Her and I and the 4 kids went to McDonalds. We let the girls play for a while then we left for base. We got to the hospital and I watched the kids while she went and talked to the people. Then we went to the BX to buy headbands. (P.S. I got Lily a super cute swimsuit for next year for $4.) Any who... So we walked around there for a while then decided to head home. On the way home Lily got hungry. I couldn't make her wait to eat so we went to browse at Target while I fed her. We figured Tyler would soon be hungry too. We found tons of cute stuff on clearance so we spent some time looking through it all. Then we decided to head home. I needed to take Savannah home so I got out my phone to call my dad. I noticed I had two missed calls from my dad. So I called him back. Turns out it was Jacob calling me from my dads phone. Jacob who I thought was at home asleep. When he left for Wendy's he forgot his phone wallet and house keys. He was obviously tired. So from 11 when I left to 3 when I called my dad back he had been attempting to get a hold of me or get in the house. Which ever happened first. I felt so bad! However, if it were me I would have went to a store and used the phone to call me. So he just went to bed and has to work at 11 tonight. All night! Poor guy. I bet he never does that again though. :)

And so it begins...

I have always been one to stumble upon and spend hours reading random blogs. Occasionally its's someone I know but usually.. a complete stranger. I always wondered why they wrote out every little thing. Then I wondered why I read about every little thing. I began to realize that they will have those memories I was reading about forever. That caused me to think about all the memories I wish I had written down. There is nothing like looking back and remembering exactly how you felt as it happened. I realized that that ability to relive those memories is why people blog. So with a little motivation from my pal Michelle... Here I am. Writing my very first blog. Hopefully this very blog you are reading will one day be the home of all the my memories from here on out. My life may not be the craziest or the most eventful... but it is BLESSED! Blessed beyond belief! I have an amazing husband and a gorgeous healthy baby. We aren't rich but we have everything we need and more. I thank God everyday for all He has given us. So.. hopefully this blog will be a means of recording those blessings, both big and small, to look back on some day. When I have a rough day.. here I will look to remember the blessings in my life. Hopefully.. someday... Someone else will stumble on this blog.. and hopefully it will encourage them to do take a second to thank Him for all they do have. And not worry about what they don't have.
