Cornbelly's

-
Crunchy leaves on the sidewalk, pumpkins, corn mazes and the changing colors.  I love it all!  I met Josh three years ago and I will forever have fond memories of the Fall.  Our second date was to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point.  We had so much fun and learned a lot about each other.  I learned that Josh loves the simple things in life and that he loves to play like a child.

This weekend we went to Cornbelly's and it has changed quite a bit since our second date... but so have we.  Our favorites: the giant trampoline pillows, tether ball, the playground with multiple slides, the duck races, and the giant Lincoln Logs.  I actually tried the zip line despite my fear of heights.  Sarah's least favorite: The Rat Maze.  It's like an 8 ft by 9 ft box on a trailer that you crawl through up and over, up and over, around and down etc.  Somehow you can fit about 10 adults crawling through it at a time.  Oh, did I mention that it has about five levels?  Let's just say that a little bit of claustrophobia set in pretty quickly.  I was sliding on my stomach most of the time and then I panicked each time that I had to crawl up through a hole to the next level.  It was hard to maneuver around corners and bring my legs with me... umm pretty sure there should be a height limit.  Overall we had a great time and our adventures brought back a lot of sweet memories.

I Need Somebody to Listen

On Wednesday, May 18th, I woke up with a sore throat.  I didn't have much of a voice either.  Josh got Samuel up and mentioned that Samuel had been coughing a bit.  I thought to myself, 'here we go again'.  I swear we haven't been able to catch a break from sickness or injury this year. While I was getting ready for the day, Samuel walked into my bathroom.  He started coughing a bunch and then choking.  I didn't know that he had shared a doughnut with Daddy right before he walked in to see me.  The doughnut had walnuts sprinkled on top.  I thought he was about to throw up (I didn't realize he was choking on a walnut).  So I immediately held him over the sink.  After not breathing for a short second or two, he coughed out a small bit of food (aka. the walnut).  The moment was tense, but I was relieved when he was breathing and acting normal again.  Our morning routine continued and I quickly forgot about the intense choking mo...

Growing Up

If you were to ask me what I constantly struggle with... it is CHANGE .   I find comfort in schedules, routines and expectations that periods of my life have to offer.  Whenever I turn the page to a new chapter in my life, I am faced with a great sense of insecurity and hesitation.  Now that I am crossing through a new threshold, I've realized that I still haven't grown up. I taught for two years and just finished my last day of school on the 7th.  I am leaving something behind that I am very passionate about... TEACHING .  It is hard for me to let go of the known and step out into the unknown.  I was very prayerful about my decision to become a  mommy and have the time to stay at home.  This is what I have always wanted and I know that it is the right decision for our family.  But it doesn't make the transition easy.  I put so much work and time into teaching and let's be honest... a whole lotta heart.  I spent our last few min...
