A New Year

This last year has flown by... being a mom has kept me pretty busy. I love every moment and have never felt so loved, or blessed. We have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, a home, family, friends, good health, jobs.... and the list goes on.

The last year Dayle and I were able to find a home. Things did get a little crazy and the first home fell through leaving us stranded because our townhouse contract was up. We had some wonderful friends The Stantons let us stay with them until we closed on our home and were able to move in. It was a ton of fun.

Since we have moved in Eden has learned how to crawl, walk, and say a few words... "mama, dada, more, lease... (for please), num-a-num (for food or banana), hi, hey, uh hu, mmm (for yum ), and a few others. She will repeat almost anything though, so we have to be careful. She is learning way to fast.

Dayle was very excited to have passed all the sections of the CPA exam and has sent of for his CPA lisence. He was also promoted to a Senior level at work. I am very proud of him and all that he does for our family! His hard work allows me to stay home with Eden, and for that I am so grateful.

I have been taking classes on and off and should FINALLY have my Bachelors by December. I only have about 10 credits left and am determined to get it! I also coupon. Not a little. but a ton. I save at least 75-80% every shopping trip. It is really fun and have actually gotten to teach a few coupon classes as well.

Dayle and I did have a few trips this year... A few to Alabama to visit family! Two trips to Idaho to visit Dayle's family, one to Vegas to visit my NANA, and then Dayle and I celebrated the New Year by going to Savanah. And yes I fell asleep before the fireworks went off. Lame I know : )

Eden's first Birthday was amazing she got way to many presents between Chirstmas and Birthday. I have never had more fun though and find it hard not to spoil my precious little princess!
