I haven't been a good blogger on here. I'm very consistent with keeping up with my personal blog on Xanga. I have been on Xanga for years and have many readers on there that I've become very acquainted with. It's nice to see who exactly is coming onto my blog and I receive so many comments and feedback from them. There are also a lot of Xanga blogs I read too. The Xanga community has been my home since I was first married and I'm most comfortable there. I wanted to give Blogger a try and leave it open to the public so family and others can easily view it but I'm sorry to say I'm just not as consistent with it. Since Xanga is kept private and only viewable by a select few who have Xanga accounts, I find myself easily able to write just about anything from my personal feelings regarding any certain situations, certain events going on with the family and even lots of pictures. I try to be a little more discreet on here and because of that it's hard to know what to write. Also, I have only a few other Blogger blogs that I read regularly and they don't update as much.
I have decided to write a blog today with just some random thoughts. Brianna is napping and Matthew is playing a video game. While I wait for the last load of wash to finish I might as well blog.
A lot has been going on lately in our family. Matthew recently graduated from preschool. The school held a very sweet ceremony and the kids wore caps and gowns and were presented with a diploma. Matthew enjoyed going to the school and made lots of friends. He is excited to start kindergarten in the fall. I have always enjoyed teaching Matthew different things at home but preschool has taught him so much more. He can recognize and write all the letters in the alphabet and is learning how to spell. He knows all the days of the week and months of the year. Preschool also gave him the experience to learn social skills that he didn't get by being at home with me. Now he's done with preschool and officially on summer vacation. He is also near the end of his first year of t-ball and that has been going well too.
Brianna is getting closer to her second birthday. She can repeat anything we say word for word and her little voice is so adorable. She's very clingy to me just like her brother was. She's also learning a lot and it helps to have a big brother who is constantly wanting to recite the alphabet and count numbers. She is picking up on all that too. She tells me when she "pooped" her diaper and for awhile she was willingly using the potty but that has stopped. I'm not the type of parent who rushes to get my little one's potty trained. Matthew learned on his own when he was almost three and I know Brianna will get it when she's ready too.
My husband is doing well. He is back to work after taking three days off. Then, because of Memorial Day, he will have a three day weekend. It's nice having him home. He works a full forty hour week as an accountant and also has another bookkeeping job from home. He's always been a hard worker and I'm so proud of him for always wanting to step up and do what he needs to for himself and his family. Yesterday we celebrated his birthday and six days ago we celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary.
Yes, 11 years! I shouldn't brag, but truthfully I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful man and at a young age. He is a great person. Never complains about anything, always works hard and is a great husband and father. I couldn't imagine having anyone better as my life-long partner. It hasn't been an easy 11 years but it's been totally worth it. I'm blessed!
