I love this picture of the two of us being silly! We had such a great time cruising before you-know-who came along. But I wouldn't trade it for the world! We are actually thinking of taking her with us on her first cruise later in early 2011.

Bathing Beauty
Um I think we are outgrowing our baby tub. Tonight during bath time H was playing with her keys when they got away from her. She sat up to retreive them but got stuck and then couldn't get turned back around.
Following "the incident" we put on our robe and did some laughing and playing on the bed. Thanks to Granny for the cute little whale robe.
Going to Wal-Mart tomorrow to check out other tub options. Got any advice?

Day 13-Goals
Goals are something that have just recently come to appreciate and honestly, understand. Just ask my husband, I am kind of a goal freak now. It all started about a month ago at work when I set my goals for the upcoming year. I've since printed out these goals and carry them with me to ensure everyday that I go to work I am actually working towards my goals. It has become an obsession really. Now that we are about to embark into a new year I'd like to carry my goal-ism into my personal life. Instead of the typical resolutions people usually set then forget about by February, Jeff and I will be setting goals along with an action plan to fulfill them by the end of the year. Saturday is the big goal setting day. Wish me luck!

Busy Little Girl
Hayden is getting so big so fast! I cannot believe she will be 6 months old next week. It seems like just yesterday that she was just a little peanut in my belly. This time last year I was sick as a dog and as lazy as one, too all the while dreaming of what our baby would look, act and be like. It's been a roller coaster of a year. Here are a few pictures of Hayden as she has grown and gotten to be a "big girl".

Day 11-Favorite TV shows
OK this is a no brainer... FRIENDS FRIENDS FRIENDS! I love that show. Not only do I still TiVo every rerun I also have seasons 5-10 on DVD. (Jeff gets me one for Christmas every year) But I have to admit I am a little bit jealous of them. I mean how do they all hold jobs while hanging out at either the coffee shop or Monica's apartment all day everyday?

A few of my favorite episodes are The One With The Baby Shower, The One Where Joey Speaks French, The One In Barbados part 1 & 2, The One With The Videotape, The One Where Ross Drinks Too Much, The One With The Stoned Guy, The One Where Paul's The Man and The One With The Embryos.

Day 10-Something you're afraid of
There is actually a whole list of things that I could enter in this post. But instead I am going to focus on just the opposite. One of my favorite scriptures is 2 Timothy 1:7, "For the Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self control." It has been one that God has reminded me of time and time again. Fear is something I struggle with often, mostly the fear of the "what ifs" - what if Jeff or Hayden get really sick, what if our house burns down, etc. I guess that's why God has to keep reminding me through this verse that fear is not from Him and that he has given us tools to overcome it.

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear," I John 4:18aBased on these two verses if God is love and love casts out all fear, then God will remove all our fears. We just have to let Him. We can't hold on to our fears, they will give Satan the open door he needs to wedge in between us and God and prevent us from being His servants and worshipers. Just think about it, what if God is calling us to do something but we are scared of how it will be perceived by others so we do nothing, all out of fear! At that point we have disobeyed God and missed out on His blessings in our life and possibly blessing others through Him. Oh silly little fear! Praise the Lord who is STRONGER than any and all obstacles in our path.
"GOD is love." I John 4:8b

Day 9-A picture of your friends
Since I had the privilege of spending the day with great friends I thought it was only appropriate to use this picture of my friends that was taken TODAY! (So I stole this picture from Jan's blog) I love these girls! We have been BFFs for almost 15 years and I think that's saying a whole lot. These days it's hard to come by a good, loyal, caring, fun, sister-like friend, much less three. We actually talked tonight about the fact that we have remained such great friends for so long and never even have the littlest squabbles. I'm so thankful to have met Jennifer, Janice and Jodi and be a "J"! LOVE LOVE LOVE Y'ALL!

Day 8- A place you have traveled to
One thing Jeff and I love to do is travel. We especially like to take cruises. Since we've been married we have been on 4 of them including our honeymoon. I think the best part is not having to make any plans, you book your cruise tell them you want an inside or outside room and whether you'd like to have early or late dinner. BAM, your vaction is planned. There is always plenty of entertainment, good food and lots of drunk people to laugh at! We usually go on an excursion at one of the ports. On our last cruise we took a Mexican cuisine cooking class. It was lots of fun. I can see us continuing to cruise for a long long time.

* I know I said we have taken 4 cruises and there are only 3 pictures. Our first cruise was our honeymoon way back in the dark ages, before digital cameras came along. I honestly don't even think those pictures were even ever developed.

Day 7-Favorite Movies
I kind of have a love/hate relationship with movies. Once you finally get me to sit down long enough to watch a movie if I like it I'll watch in 10000000 times, so well that I learn every line. I mean, I'll know every line so well I annoyingly quote it while I watch. (Annoying to others, perfectly acceptable to me.)
I do have some old school Molly Ringwald favorites such as

I also have a thing for movies set in the past like
Silly comedies are always a favorite, too,
But right now my favorite movie of all time is STEEL MAGNOLIAS! (And I say right now, because as women we all know that we change our minds, sometimes frequently!)
