The last two weeks have been filled with chaos lol!  Between school, work, basketball and wrestling practice, birthdays and our anniversary I feel like we have hardly been home! 
So far 2012 has been full of great things and I hope the year continues to be filled with blessings!

January 3rd we were blessed with a second handsome and healthy nephew: Tanner Reece!

January 5th we celebrated Dan's birthday!
January 9th Dan and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary-- 11 years together and we are blessed with three wonderful children!

Yesterday Miles had his last regular season basketball game and has a tournament this Wednesday!  He's had such a blast, so we decided to splurge and get a basketball goal for the driveway so he can practice in the spring and summer to get ready for next season.

Nicholas started his wrestling practice last week and so far he is enjoying it.  This is his first year and he is learning pretty quickly.  I love that they use a lot of exercise along with learning the moves you need.  I can't wait to see him during a match! 
Annabel is really starting to talk up a storm!  Every morning she wakes up and says Happy Birthday and is learning to tell me what she wants instead of just pointing or whining.  She still won't let me put her hair in a ponytail or use any barettes, but she loves her toenails painted and says it's pretty!  She loves her babydolls and sings to them and feeds them cookies.  Everytime we get in the car she sings and tries to dance.  When we ask her if she's hungry she says nugee (nuggets) and mik (her word for any drink)  She continues to be a big mommy's girl right now and doesn't like sharing my lap with the boys- she comes and pushes them out of the way and will hit them with her sippy cup and talk some sort of jibberish we think isn't very nice! lol!  She does have her moments where she only wnats Daddy though and it's so cute to watch them together.  Dan doesn't like pictures or I would have some cute ones to post. 

As most everyone knows, last October I was given a wonderful opportunity out of the blue and my friend Molly asked if I wanted to come and work for her!  I am so happy to be leaving behind retail, and now I have an even better opportunity to start some college classes!  I work at Methodist Hospital for a company called Cardinal Health and work in the pharmacy doing e-recovery where we work to get authorization from patients who don't have insurance or only has limited coverage and apply to the drup companies to get certain drugs free for them, in turn the hospital doesn't have to pay for that medicine as well.  I really feel like I am doing a lot of good and helping people who need it!  I absolutley love it and I love being home with my kids every night and on the weekends.  I feel like we get more family time! 

Tomorrow I am starting my weight loss journey and am determined to be 50 pounds lighter by my 30th birthday in November!  Wish me luck!
