Neglect

I've seriously neglected my blog. I really would love to write more, but it's seriously difficult. I forgot I had a blog until I was just recently writing a letter to an online college I'm applying to. I was working on my letter during my lunch break and didn't realize I was really into writing the letter until my coworker looked at me and told me I was writing "madly." Then I realized aha! I have a blog!

Owen is walking now. It's truly crazy how fast time goes and how fast little ones grow up. Speaking of time, he'll be a year old a week from tomorrow. Crazy, right? A year ago today I was busy "nesting" and thinking I still had a month until we shared our home with a baby. Little to my knowledge, I'd be having a baby within a week. His Birthday party is October 23rd. I'm excited for it, but a part of me is nervous. Perphaps, because I'm terrible at planning events and hosting any sort of gathering. Hopefully, people won't notice. I should have stuck to that small party I was so set on having, now we are nearly having another wedding with the amount of people I invited. Hey, I'm a proud mother who likes to celebrate my little man's acomplishments the past year.

I'm not a creative person by any means, but I made this slide show for Owen of his past year. not too bad ...right?

My summer was great. I spent the majority of it working. We went to Kiawah Island for a week in July. It was Owen first road trip and first beach vacation. It awesome despite the fact that Owen screamed the entire way to South Carolina. That's a part of parenthood I think every parent needs to experience.

Like I mentioned before, I'm applying to an online college. After the past spring semester taking a couple classes, I was wiped out and just the mere thought of going to school made me throw up a little. I finally have the itch to go back, so online school it is. I really love the classroom setting but it's more logical for me to finish it online. I can work on my classes at work, during Owen's naps, late at night, basically whenever I want. And let me clarify online classes are NOT easier than going to a regular class. That's what I thought, in fact it's much more difficult. You're your own teacher. You have to remind yourself of due dates, homework, ect. I'm up for the challenge.

Other than that, aside from time in general just flying by, nothing much is going on. Hopefully I'll keep this updated more often.

oh and 34 days until I'm in Antigua ....
