Life has been moving entirely way too fast for me the past month... I need a break but have no time for one :(. I have so many pictures that I want and need to have printed and placed in an album and I am talking like the past 5 years!!!! I take so many pictures and enjoy them so much but hardly ever have them printed. I know it is going to take ALOT of money and time to get this project done but I want to do it for Kensey and my family. Does anyone have an easy and organized system to doing this? I was loading photos each week into a monthly folder on my computer and planned on printing a photo book up quarterly but see that did not even happen! UUUGHHH - Why do I let myself get behind???
I only have a moment to say I AM ALIVE!!! Man the weeks are flying by with Kensey in school and I have been swamped with work - I promise I have a TON to say and will be posting shortly!
As a child, I wanted a tree swing so bad! I have made it a point to offer things that I dreamed of having as a child to Kensey. When we had the perfect tree out back to do this I jumped right on it! There is still a little revisions I would like to make - maybe even make a cute cushion for the seat but for the most part, she had a blast on it last night and could not wait until after school to get on it today!
I cannot tell you of the joy that rushed through me just from swinging her! While she was laughing I almost felt as though I too was a little girl swinging high! I was really afraid to sit on it myself but I will admit that later that evening I went out and gave myself a little push - how much fun it was! The tree branch did move so I quickly got off of it - but it was just as I had always imagined! 
I have decided to start back up on my guitar playing - there was a time in my life when I hardly ever put it down and I really miss the way it made me feel! I wrote this song today and like it says " to you it won't make sense" but to me it means alot. I am working on the chords and will hopefully be done with it soon and can post a video!
This Old Guitar - by Jessica Spuhler
This old guitar, once my best friend. Memories that will never fade and songs written within.
See the song that was written was taken from this heart and the words that were spoken were always torn apart.
The dust on this guitar will tell you a story of moments alone of dreams that were never shown To you it won’t make sense, you will never understand, the song is within yourself, it never goes as planned.
There was a time when my life was unwritten, a time when I was lost and needed a friend.
I’ve forgotten how I would feel, when my heart played a melody and the song helped me heal.
This old guitar, that sits all alone. Waiting for her old friend to come and play a song. Years have past and the story still sings, don’t you think it’s time to live out all your dreams?
The dust on this guitar has been wiped clean and I’m taking back my words and I’m taking them for me - to you it won’t make sense, you will never understand the song is within yourself it never goes as planned…
This old guitar…
Sorry yall! I realized it was 5 days ago since my last post! I have to tell you this past week has been super busy for this soccer mom! Between packing lunches, making dinner, work, soccer practice, housework, yard work ... i could go on... I have been swamped! I have taken on alot of clients the past few weeks - I usually only take on 4 a session but since we are now buying a home, every little bit helps! I have been swamped with work and have to keep reminding myself I am supposed to have set hours. The computer goes off at 1pm and after that it is then I realize I have not visited my blog! I have been taking pictures of things I have wanted to blog about and share. I don't have much time now, I am meeting some friends for lunch but here is the short and skinny of it all!
I moved the living room around - there was just so much wasted space with the way it was. The cable jack is on the wall that the couch is on now but when we moved here I told my family we were not going to have cable, turns out the cable is live and we are not even paying for it... I feel much better now that we are not "stealing" free cable.
my front porch and my cute little 2.50 hanging basket from dollar g! 
i just love fall! i know i am about a month early but who cares!?
a little corner space in the front yard - trying to revive my hanging baskets lynsey gave me! i think they are out of season now but I am up for a challenge!
notice anything? i moved the third bush from in between the first and second one - i don't know why they never planted a fourth or did not just plant them this way to begin with?
i thinned out the crazy and wild monkey grass in our yard!
my wild rose bush growing against the backyard fence!
and the lovely little roses it makes :)
meet "ollie" our newest family member - i am by no means a "Cat Person" but after killing so many spiders and two scorpions I decided I would rather have a cat lol - she is really a sweetie and i have come to tolerate her... ok so i cuddle with her!
my big 1st grader getting ready for school!
one of the lunches i pack... the other is for Tom - and yes they both get cutsey notes in their bags!
