A little catch up...

It's been a while since I have just written something so I decided to do it now. However, I don't have much to say other than a bunch of small things. My greatest achievement recently has been losing weight. I bought my first pair of GAP - Long and Lean jeans. Yahoo! Baby steps...I would post a picture but the truth is I still don't love how I look in photos, so that will have to wait.

I am still loving my home, and I still wake up in the morning and can't believe that I bought it, or that I actually have it filled. I remember when I bought it I thought it will take me two years before I will have anything in it. Now, I look around and think "where am I going to put that?". The Lord blessed me and I am grateful.

I don't know if I have ever mentioned that I have a roommate, her name is Tina. I don't know if she will kill me for doing this but I am going to tell you a little about why I like her so much. One, she likes to try different food and when we talk about restaurants or places to eat she gets like a sparkle in her eye just talking about it. Now, you would never know that she lives to eat because she is so skinny but she does and I appreciate that about anyone. Tina is beautiful. She has this amazing hair that is cut perfectly for her, you add her darling smile and sensational personality and you have the perfect girl. I have been meaning to clean my refrigerator for a while now, but I keep letting things get in my way. Today I came home and there was Tina cleaning it. I was so appreciative and felt bad at the same time because I didn't do it sooner. Then she cleaned the kitchen floor and again I thought how blessed I was to have such a helpful roommate. When I decided to get a roommate I knew I had to choose the right person. When her name was mentioned to me I felt like a light was just turned on. She is so easy going and just seems to go with the flow. I am grateful that I have her as my roommate.
Tina, if you are reading this...I hope that 1) you are not mad that I am writing this :) 2) that you know how much I appreciate you 3) you have been a prayer that was answered. 4) Thank you, I am glad I call you friend.

Some will want an update on my cute little neighbor next door. Alexander is doing well, he is going through "3 year old" changes and I am learning that his mind is really thinking on it's own. My favorite line he said to me the other day was, "JJ, you're pretty". I don't care if it did come from a three year old it's been a while since a boy has said that to me. :) He's still one of my favorite things and I love him.

I also want to send a note out to all my friends with kids. I love your children almost as much as you do. I love babysitting when you ask and I love visiting you and becoming instant friends with your children. They make me smile and laugh and it reminds me that we can still be happy by simple things. A couple of weeks ago one of my best friends, Cammie, called to tell me that she is pregnant with her third. She informed me that if they were having a girl they were going to name her middle name "Jane" after me. A few days ago she called to give me the happy news that little,___?__ Jane Seals will be the new addition to their family. How cute is that! Thanks Cammie and Erick.
