Back in the Game

Well, I fell out of the blogging world for a while, but I feel that it is important that I start back. A lot of my friends are really into it, and I really would love to have our life documented!
What you have missed: We now live in Roswell, Ga. We have an almost 7 month old baby boy now! Kevin works for Kimberly Clark, and I am staying at home with Maddox. Since the last I blogged we have moved two more times...to a house in Marietta and then to an apt in Roswell. We actually have an offer on a house in Marietta now. I taught preschool in Marietta for a little while and then took a job as a nanny for a great family in Buckhead for almost three years. I had Maddox in July of 2009, and I have loved every moment of being his mommy. We are so excited about our future as a family!
Give me a little while to get my blog up to par, but at least I am back in the game!

busy life

well, i guess i am not the best about keeping up my page..at least not as good as megan is. i agree with her about the way that life is soooo busy. kevin and i hardly see each other any more because we are on opposite schedules. i have to remind myself not to let life pass me by. if i just go through the routine every day waiting for Friday to get here, my life seems to just slip away. my goal is to be more deliberate with my day. i need to wake up thinking and knowing that something wonderful will happen for the Lord. i know that if i make the effort, he will show me how awesome He is. that is all for now and enough for me to handle for a while.

it has been a while

i guess my absence from my blog will let everyone know how busy we are. at work things are crazy with scholarship deadlines coming up. kevin is busy with pizza inn, officiating basketball, and preaching sometimes at a church in millen, ga.
we have also started a work from home business that we are really excited about. this business is going to enable me to stay at home when we have our first child. we have already seen success, so we are pumped about this opportunity.
i did have a hair fiasco about a week ago. i went to get my hair died blonde again and...i gave the girl the picture of my hair blonde and she foiled it and did everything my normal stylist did...but she left me under the drier FOREVER. well, i didn't really worry until she said..well your hair looks really light so i am goin to put a toner on it. so she did, and when she dried my hair, it was brown. my hair looked exactly the same as it did when i went in....and i paid big bucks. kevin was not happy when he saw it, especially after i told him the price.
now the toner is washing out and little by little i see white streaks in my hair....needless to say, i am going somewhere else to get it fixed. that is all for now!

new stuff with the windhams

well, i decided today that i don't post near enough, so i am updating you guys on bits and pieces of what is going on with the windhams. kevin has been preaching the past couple of sundays at a church in millen, ga. they are looking for an interim pastor, and they have invited him back. we think that is a good sign. oh to be heavily involved in ministry full time! that is our dream....

speaking of dreams...we have a few. one is that we want a big family...a house full of children( so says the girl with no children). we want me to be a full time mommy....did i say we? well, i am the one that really hopes for that day, but kevin is behind me on that. our ultimate dream would be to both be home with our kids as much as possible while working in ministry full time.

as for now, kevin is still working at pizza inn, officiating basketball games, and preaching when he can. i am working at the admissions office at georgia southern. we are working on our apartment, and things are coming a long bit by bit. we have come so far from katrina and have been richly blessed....i believe that we have been blessed "according to His riches."

hair poll

wow, two posts in one day....everyone should be proud of me. well, i really just need help with something. i am taking a poll because i am thinking about going back to the blonde look. anyone who reads my blog should post and let me know which one you like better. when i got these picutures developed, i realized how much i like my hair like that. just want to know the consensus before i go through it all again. i already know the opinions of the male population, but i will make my decision based on what all of the women out there think.

just for your info and for a more interesting post...this picture was taken in houston at an astros game with my husband. we went there for our first anniversary. he took me to the galleria mall....six flags...and a houston astros game!!! he did really well. can't wait to see how he tops that this year.

i hope everyone is having a great day!!!!!

another year

happy new year to all! i finally figured out this picture thing and wanted to share a picture of kevin and i from christmas. we had a wonderful christmas in parrott (my hometown) and in atlanta at kevin's mom's house. we had turkey and the fixins for lunch, and then we drove to atlanta for dinner and at prime rib. needless to say we ate well.

we are both sad that the christmas season is over. kevin and i talked about how the time from thanksgiving to christmas day is our favorite time of year, and that we both get sad on christmas day because there will be no more songs, decorations, or cozy feelings until next year.

anyway, kevin and i have finally started to really fix up our apartment, and it feels like home now. i believe some people call it "nesting." i am really the driving force behind the additions to our apartment. i guess it just comes with getting older...but i am just more focused on making a home now. i am also getting really good about coming home and cleaning (this is a stretch for me). i am also keeping the laundry done now!!! yea for me. the new year has brought with it a lot of excitement for a fresh start. i will not make a new year's resolution, but i will begin to focus on the things that i would like to change for the better. hope all of you are enjoying this new year as well and have recovered from the vacation.

HELP

OK, so I have been thinking how technologically advanced I am lately because I have a blog, and I am a part of the facebook thing. However, when I browse around and look at other blogs, I realize that I am still way behind. I have no pictures to post because I have no digital camera. Everyone else has a cute picture to go with everything that they post. I, however, have nothing, just empty space(aside from the christmas tree that i downloaded from clipart....very sad). In addition, I have no clue how to add things to the links section. I have tried and tried. I am beginning to think that I am just too dumb for the blog matrix. Once again, I have no picture to put with this, so no one will read it, and no one will post a comment because I stink at this. Little help please.

Christmas is HERE

I finally feel like it is Christmas time because I finally put up our Christmas tree. I was going to get a real one, but Kevin's schedule hasn't allowed us to go look together. So I went to good ole Walmart and bought a beautiful artificial tree. I figure that it will last a lot longer and save us money in the long run.
Those things are not as easy to assemble as one would imagine. It took me a few hours and a couple of trips to Walmart for more tree trimming items, but I finally finished. It is a beautiful tree and smells real because I purchased a candle that has that pine scent. Our apartment now feels like home.

I decided since I have pictures to add now that I would share what our tree looked like this year. You can't really see the lights, but it was so pretty at night. This is sooo much fun!!
