Love this song

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don’t have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That’s what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

Change of Plans

We decided not to go to Nashville. We're just recovering from North Carolina, and it's so much work when he's so young. You have to bring a lot of stuff, plus two weeks after that is Christmas and we'll be driving a lot then (to Orlando and Port Charlotte). So instead, Brian will save his vacation days and we'll do something some other time (probably when Evan is a little older). I'm excited about Christmas time, I think it will be a lot of fun! When we were in NC, I found this cute store that sells things by Mudpie (this company that makes really cute baby things). Then I found out that there's a store in Destin, called Hugs and Hissyfits that sells their stuff too! I had seen the store before but wasn't sure what it was. Anyways, I bought these cute sippy cups for the kids stockings that have their first initials on them, and the bottom unscrews so you can put snacks in it! Thought they were really neat, I'll definitely be checking out this store more often! It's a little more expensive because it's a boutique, but sales are always a good thing.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week already! Time is just flying by! We're going to North Carolina this year for Thanksgiving with Brian's family. It's going to be a lot of fun, and then things will really speed up. Two weeks later it's Nashville, Tn. We'll mostly be hanging out at the Gaylord Opryland,they get all spruced up for Christmas. Two weeks after that is Christmas!! We'll be in Orlando for Christmas, and then Port Charlotte for New Years. Then it's our 2nd wedding anniversary! This is definitely my favorite time of year!

My baby is growing so much! Next Friday he will be three months old! I love him so much more everyday. He's recently started sucking his thumb and its really cute :)






We're going on our first family trip (well, first trip that isn't visiting family) in December. I'm really excited! We're going to Nashville, TN. Really looking forward to it!

I love lazy Saturdays. It's so nice to have my husband home all day, and especially now that Evan is getting older. Today we are just hanging out, watching football. He made breakfast this morning-eggs and heart shaped biscuits :) He prob wouldn't have made them heart shaped except that's the only cookie cutter we have! It's just been a nice day so far, and I really appreciate being able to spend time like this just enjoying my family. I can't believe it's already 630...the days seem to go by so fast now!

Evan

So it's been three weeks since Evan was born...the weeks have gone by fast, but the days are pretty long. I can definitely tell he's growing though,and that's awesome. I love him now, but am looking forward to when he can smile and interact more. I'm so excited because Brian has to go to Orlando for work for a couple days, so I'll get to be there for a little over a week!! AND it's my birthday next Friday and my mom is going to watch Evan while Brian and I go out to dinner on Saturday! I can't wait...it's been 3 weeks since we've been anywhere just the two of us, it will be nice to have a break. Plus I get to introduce Evan to everyone, besides my parents my family hasn't met him yet!

my little munchkin

I can't believe it's July already! The countdown is definitely on...I really am excited to meet my little baby! This past weekend was fun, Brian and I spent one last weekend in Orlando before the baby arrives. Now its just a waiting game mostly. I go to the doctor's again tomorrow and find out, well, probably nothing new honestly. I really can't believe that in less than a month we'll have a little baby!
