Blogging hole.

It's true. My blog has fallen into a hole. I guess it could be more appropriately categorized under LAZINESS. That's right folks....I admit it.

A lot has happened since I last posted. Sophia has turned 1. *sniff* My "baby" is now considered a toddler. When did that happen? I always thought toddlerage started at 2....at least. She's walking around like she owns the place. Won't stay in the stroller or a shopping cart. Loves car keys, babies, telephones, cell phones and lip gloss. Seriously....no joke...much to my dismay. I pray she doesn't turn out to be one of those young girls who is "beauty obsessed". She certainly wouldn't learn that from me...although she could decide she doesn't want to be as "blah" as I am and go the opposite direction with her life. I'm hoping for well rounded. Unfortunately I'm convinced Sophia has entered her "terrible twos" stage a year early. Is that possible? I'm ready to send her to baby boot camp....if there isn't such a place...someone needs to get on that. She whines for no reason...when we say "no" she throws a fit, and when she gets angry (especially after you tell her "no") she pinches at your face. Lovely little thing isn't she? I'm really trying not to spoil her or coddle or any of those things that often happen with a first child (and the fact that I stay at home with her=she gets all my attention) doesn't help. But on the other hand. She is precious. Beautiful child with a brilliant smile. Still has red hair and blue eyes...perhaps she is just learning to "own" her red hair. I have a red headed friend and she is pretty feisty. She loves to learn. Right now we are working on using utensils (fork first). She loves music and animals. She is an joy in our lives that we would never trade.

Chris is still in flight school. Maybe 2 more months? We are thinking about buying a house the next place we get stationed. The thought truly terrifies me. But it's exciting at the same time. Chris and celebrated our 2 year anniversary in June...time flies when you're having fun. I'm blessed to have such a man in my life. I'm still at home with Sophia and am making and selling jewelry and hairbows once in a while. One of these days I'll get back out into the workforce. Or maybe even get back to school (which would please many). For now...I'm enjoying the blessing of being a stay at home mom. I think I take it for granted sometimes. It's hard being a SAHM because it really is never ending. I have realized that being a mom is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. But just as everyone says...it's the greatest gift God could give us.

Anyway....that's the latest. I will try and be better about this. I think part of my problem is I feel like my life is not worthy of blogging. But you know...it's more for me than others. For many years of my life I kept journals, and sometimes I would write just one sentence.
