Busy, Busy

I am seemingly really busy right now. I feel like I have so much to do, but not enough hours in the day to do it. Here is a slight random account of what is going on in my little world right now.

• Tomorrow we are going on a little trip! Very excited to get away for a (hopefully) peaceful vaca. We are headed to Southfork, Co. Which is a very small, pretty much unknown town in southwest Colorado. They are known for fishing and some rafting, but that is about it. We are renting a big house, and Jeremy's parents, sisters, husband and boyfriend, niece and nephews are all coming along too. We are just staying for 5 days, but it is still a ton of packing and planning for a 3 year old and a newborn.
• Yesterday Brady's cousin Zack came over to play, and I thought that would give me time to get some things done. I was wrong. They play great together, and instead of laundry Bryson and I had great fun playing with them.

• I have some awesome friends. Today I got to spend some time with one friend who did a wonderful photo shoot of Bryson a few weeks ago. She was so sweet and along with the pictures, gave us a framed print, and a photo book. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gift. Today I also got to see a friend who was visiting that moved away. We had a nice lunch, and it was so good to see her. I miss all of my friends that have moved away, or live in different places. But I am so thankful for technology, and it is pretty cool to have friends all over the place.
• Bryson is two months old and precious. He is such a happy baby. I have not gotten him to take naps in his bed yet, so each day during nap time I end up holding him and working on the computer and catching up on my bible study.

• I am trying to workout, and lose my baby weight. It is not happening with just exercise. I think I may need to diet also. Gasp! I normally eat fairly healthy, and workout, and it does the trick, but something isn't working, and I am gaining weight. It was easy to lose the baby weight after Brady, but this time it is much harder. After this vacation week, Jeremy and I have a bet going to see who can lose the weight they want to lose first. He can lose weight so fast when he puts his mind to it, so I am a little worried.
• Monday, August 1st will be a hard day for our boys. It is the day that I am going to make Bryson start taking naps in his room. But even bigger it will be the day that I re, re- potty train Brady. You read that right, he is not potty trained. He completely regressed after Bryson was born. He had accidents constantly, and would not even tell us when he needed to go. He gave up, and we gave him time hoping he would get motivation on his own again, but he has not yet. September 8th is the day he starts preschool. If he is not potty trained by then, then he better learn how to hold it from 9 - 11:30, Tuesdays and Thursdays! Pray for us please!

• I am really trying to work on getting stuff back into my etsy shop. I have been working on the craft blog, so I can hopefully use that as a resource to point others to my etsy shop. I also started a facebook page for the blog/shop. I have so many ideas and plans, I just need more time. I know once I get Bryson to sleep in his bed for naps I will have more time and energy to put into it all.
• I am an independent consultant for a company called Jamberry Nails. I am really excited about this product, and I think others will be too. I am nervous because this is not really my thing, a saleswoman, but I am excited to meet new people, and hopefully earn some extra money for our family. (Hello vacation fund!)

Well I think that is it. It does not seem that crazy, but keeping the house nice, taking care of the boys, making dinners, seeing friends, church, trying to start a home business, being a good wife, and working out, it all adds up. Really excited to see where everything leads me, and I really am loving life! (Just will love it a little more, when Brady is potty trained!
