Christmas card...FAIL

I have had a lot of people ask me about our Christmas card this year. It just didn't happen...yet. We may try to send out a New Years card or something like that. I will try and get some pictures of Abby posted from Christmas day too.
We had a wonderful Christmas day with her and Santa brought her a lot of fun new toys! I am definitely looking forward to using Santa as leverage in the coming years. This year she made a baby Jesus at school and had a birthday party for him. We were able to go to church on Christmas day, what a concept I know! I won't get on my soap box right now, but I find it really backwards that the majority of Christians don't go to church on Christmas day. Even more backwards is how few churches actually have a service on Christmas. Our church was packed and I loved every second of it, and Abby did great too!
I found this quote the other day and feel like this will be what I try and live by this year.
Merry Christmas!!!

You Sir, Are an Idiot

So this morning I was reading some articles on , an anti liberal news site, and came across this story.
Turns out that Jesse Jackson believes that if Jesus were around today he would be an "occupier". SERIOUSLY!!!
Yes, I am pretty sure Jesus would be teaching people to poop on cop cars, rape women in tents, bum off people who actually do work for a living and to top it off, make sure you get violent towards the cops who work for next to nothing to protect your sorry rear! Give me a break. I would love to be standing behind Mr Jackson come judgement day, I mean he will make anyone look good! YOU SIR, ARE AN IDIOT

Not Without Them

My whole life I have been blessed with the best friends ever. This season of my life is no exception.
I found out when Abby was born just how easy it is to become all mom all the time and not leave time for yourself. I think this is a huge problem many new moms experience. I was lucky enough to meet my friends through church and three of us were even pregnant at the same time. We have experienced the joys of pregnancy, loss of pregnancy, hardships in family, and not so perfect times in our marriages together. I truly believe that I would not be the person I am today without this amazing group of friends. We are lucky enough to have girls night out at least once a month (if you ask Dave it's every other Friday, but who's really keeping track). I know if I did not have these women and my occasional night away from mommyhood, I would end up in a crazy house. I think it is so important to have a close group of friends who will tell it to you straight 110% of the time and I would not trade these realtionships for the world!
