30 before 30!

It's exactly 1 month until I turn 26. 26!!!! Now on the other hand Adam's only got a couple months left until he is 30, so this got me thinking. I want to do things, set goals accomplish them before I turn 30. I've only got 4 years and 1 month to do so. Some things on my list seem a little far out of reach but I tried to make them realistic for myself. I know that I will not be going to Antarctica to frolic on an iceberg with penguins or hide in a snow cave with a polar bear...more like lose 5lbs and keep it off realistic but now that I am typing that...I don't know if that is even realistic :) So here they are:

30 things to do before I am 30!

1. Go to Hawaii

2. Buy a brand spankin' new car

3. Get my tubes tide...no more babies after 30

4. Go on a hot air balloon ride

5. Take a road trip vacation

6. Write a business plan

7. Start a business

8. Learn a new language

9. Go back to school

10. Eat fried green tomatoes

11. Have a booth at a street fair

12. Volunteer at a food kitchen

13. Host Thanksgiving at my house

14. Flip a house

15. Go on a Disney Cruise

16. Make curtains all on my own

17. Set monthly budgets

18. Have a savings of $20k+

19. Finish a book from front to back

20. Take a photography course

21. Make a will

22. Take a train ride with the kids

23. Spend the day at a spa

24. Write a childrens book (even if it's just for my own kids)

25. Learn to play a musical instrument

26. Take dance lessons

27. Bury my Dads ashes (I know, I know he still isn't in the ground and it's been over 2 years)

28. Create a timeline of my 20's with pictures

29. Dig up my roots (and I don't mean my Dad after I complete #27)

30. Enter my 30th birthday fit and healthy!

BONUS 31!!!! If Garth Brooks is in concert between now and the next 4 years I will go, no matter the cost! Maybe this should be a life time thing but I'm aiming for before 30...

Those seem doable, right??????

New baby and New Year

It has come to my attention that's is been just about FOREVER since I last blogged. With facebook and all other social networks there really isn't a need for me to because everyone already knows what going on in our lives.

Since my last post back in June 2011, we have welcomed Aubrey Marie! She was born October 27, 2011 at 8:30am. She weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 19in. She is bringing much joy to her Mommy, Daddy and Big Brother.

I was off for 13 weeks with Aubrey and Joseph. I just recently returned to work on Jan 30th and it was pretty difficult. Two days in and I was ready to quit and head home to take care of my babies but I toughed it out and am now into my third week. We are currently searching for a bigger place so I need to work if we want that to happen. We have totally outgrown our townhouse and it's time to move to a house with a bigger yard for the kids and a sewing room for me...I mean a play room for the toys and books and all the kids stuff :) I have been doing a lot of sewing so I would LOVE my own little space to keep all my fabrics and supplies. I have created my own little company which is called Scruffy Rags. The origin of the name came from my Dad (Scruffy) who as you all know passed away a couple years ago, and Rags because I want you to love what I make so much that you turn it into keepsake Rags (if that makes sense...it does to me), therefor Scruffy Rags!
