GOING HOME!

It's taken me a while to get a chance to blog about my good news, but here it is I'm going home in less than 3 weeks! I haven't been home or seen my family in almost a year. It has been extremely too long and unfair for both sides. My parents haven't seen their only grandchild since he was 10 months old. 10 months old! That is forever long in infant/toddler time. He was just crawling the last time they saw him. He is now running absolutely everywhere, talking a storm and is expressing his cute little personality is so many different ways. I can't wait to spend some quality time with my family, especially my mom. She is an amazing person and my best friend. And I need some time with her to be inspired, to help me refresh and regroup, to be an even better mom and wife. The sad part is Josh can't come with us this time. :( But I told him not to worry, hopefully it won't be too long before we get to live there. So a cute Madsen update, we decided to try more songs with him, to see which ones he liked and caught on to. We finally introduced Popcorn popping and he LOVED it. He tries singing it which is super cute and is so excited to do all the actions, and always claps at the end and says "Mas, peas". (more please) and get so excited when we start it again. I am absolutely loving this stage of his life. He is so funny and knows it.

Overdue update

So I've gotten worse at updating. Sorry Jenae. Things have actually been pretty busy but not too crazy, thank goodness. I can't believe that the semester is almost over. I have thoroughly enjoyed being back in school and am grateful for the opportunity I have had to attend. So an update on the past month. We got amazing seats to Disney on Ice, thanks to my best friend Nora. The Heiner's got to come with us and Max and Madsen were so excited. I will have to say that Peter Pan was the hit for all of us. Can't go wrong with the classics. :) Josh and I did this Master Cleanse diet where you drink this lemonade mix for 10 days and it was HARD! It's true when they say you won't be hungry but I craved food so bad! I just wanted to bite into something and taste all the different flavors. But it was worth it. I feel great now and my muscle's haven't felt so relaxed since the last time I got a massage! I have really bad toxic build up and knots in my back and this helped a ton with the aches. It also is a plus to have a lost a couple pounds, I'm even closer to my goal :). Mostly what I've done in my spare time is hang out upstairs, outside and make extra books for my bookbinding class. Which I'll have to post pictures of later, when I actually take some. So all in all everything is going well, so bring on the finals!

Waiting to go in!

Even little Sam was entertained :)
