So Proud

I am such a proud mom right now. Logan has been accepted to the University of Montevallo! This is such a happy...and sad time for us. I am so happy that he has gotten in to the collage he wants to go to, but am so not ready for him to move out. I guess we'll just have to see how things go. He has worked so hard for this and I couldn't be prouder.

It was great!

I was right, turning 40 was a good thing. I had surprise parties and saw friends I hadn't seen in many years. Tam and Logan worked really hard to make this a very special birthday...and they did. I have the most fantastic family; they really are the best gift ever. Hope ya'll had a wonderful holiday season, I know I did.

40-40-40-40

In 13 days I will be 40. I've known all year that I was going to be 40 by the time Christmas came around, but now it seems like someone forgot to tell me I was almost 40. I don't think I'm stressed about being 40 I just feel like I need to keep saying it. You know, just reminding myself. I loved turning 30 and my life has just gotten better since then. I'm sure 40 will be just as wonderful. I think as a 40th birthday present to myself I'm going to try new things, be more adventurous, and be more fun. If you're going to give yourself a birthday present it should be one that keeps on giving; and not just to yourself.

Wait till you hear...

Ok, I know it’s been a while but it is so worth the wait. Here we go, drum roll- dadadada Logan really thinks he wants to go to the University of Montevallo! But wait…there’s more. You’re never going to believe what he wants to do. He wants to be a Theatre Major. He wants to get a B.F.A. He is really interested in writing screenplays. Maybe he’ll be the next Joss Whedon! 8^) Anyway, I am so proud of him. He is really stepping up and making decisions about his future. What parent could ask for more?

The moment

Have you ever wanted something for a long time but you didn't get it because you had other responsibilities? And it wasn't just the responsibilities, but what you wanted wasn't anything you needed or was useful. It was just something you really wanted and you wanted "the moment" that went with it. Then someone got that "want" for you and while they wanted you to have it-they wanted to give you "the moment" even more. And then what you wanted had to be returned because you still had responsibilities and things that had to be taken care of before you would feel right getting what you wanted. But it wasn't quite as important anymore because someone loved you enough to give you that moment. That it was important to them for you to have that moment, Sometimes it really is the thought that counts. Thank you Tam for all the beautiful moments.

Here he is...

After telling you all about my "come apart" over the senior yearbook pictures the least I could do was let you see how handsome he is. I'm so glad that even as a senior he still wants to hang out with us. You know, he and Tam really make my life wonderful. I'm blessed.

Some people

Have you ever noticed that some people just make your life a better place to be? They add something to your life that you would really miss if it wasn’t there. Logan adds so much to my life; laughter, good conversation, silliness, music…especially music. And he doesn’t just fill my life but he also fills others. Here he is teaching Scooter to play drums; they do this every time they are together. He’s just that great of a guy. Some people.
