Is it 5 o'clock yet?

It's one of life's greatest quandaries! I complain endlessly about how slow time goes while working, yet I blink and my first baby is almost 1 already!! I need to make up my mind. Do I want time to move slowly, or do I want the days to fly by? I know the answer, I want time to move slowly, I need to stop complaining, period!

I'm lucky to have a job, especially one that pays decent and where I get to work with great co-workers every day. I'm lucky that I get to live a lifestyle I could have never dreamed of at my young age. Avery is beautiful, happy, healthy, and the greatest gift I could ever have been given. Hunter and I are deeply in love and appreciate each other.

Seriously. . .WHAT do I have to complain about? Sometimes I have to shake myself out of it . . . and remember to stop and smell the roses.

I think all this stupid Jon and Kate crap has made me realize how important it is to be grateful, express how you feel, and enjoy reality . . . and to NEVER be on a "reality" show. (hehe)

Enjoy your day! Every minute of it.

Holy moly! Where does the time go? I can't believe our baby is almost a year old. Here are a few pics of Ms Avery, she has finally learned how to scoot all over the place. Still no true crawling, but she is a master scooter. She is trying to pull herself up onto furniture too. I'm sure I'll blink and she'll be running! Time to baby proof the house.

We have counters!

We finally have counters! They were installed yesterday and look awesome. All we need now is the back splash. . .



Speaking of . . . here is a sample of the back splash we will have installed -



We will still eventually do under cabinet lights and recessed ceiling lights . . .but once the back-splash is done, I consider the kitchen mostly complete!


We also have a 99% completed hall bath, its the closest room to completion!



Ahh progress!!
