Teeth :)

Well it has finally happend. Camden has cut his first tooth. Big day for Cammy, sad day for mommy. So much has happend this month that are big milestones for camden its just insane

1. we have started crawling ( backwards teehee )

2. we are getting our FIRST TOOTH!

3. we got a big boy car seat that faces forward

4. we have officially put away any clothes that are below 12 months :(

5. we have had our first ouchy. he crawled under our coffee table and bonked his head.

6. we have had our first cold.

7. and we have pulled up into a standing position ( holding on to daddy of course )

Needless to say its been a big month for Camden. He is such a joy and I can't believe how wonderful he is and that hes mine. I know I have said it before but being a mommy is truely the biggest blessing in the world. I love how much he loves me and he just cant help it. He makes me a better person and I love him for that. Hes just so sweet in every way

Now I need to brag on my husband for a bit. Hes so truely amazing and I am just so proud of him. He has recently been told by his supervisor that he is eligible for "below the zone" and his supervisor really think that he is going to get it. For those of you who arnt familiar with the term, below the zone is when you get to put on your 3rd stripe 6 months before everyone else with your rank. He graduated first in his QTP class and was awarded distinguished honor graduate and passed his CDC test with flying colors. They have recently changed the test and made it much harder to pass and a lot of his buddies that had taken it before him had failed so it kind of made Chris uneasy about the whole thing. But, he did VERY well on it. I am just so proud. We should find out if he gets it or not in March. Even if someone else is chosen, it is still such an honor to be put up for it. I am just so proud of him for all of his hard work. He is such an amazing man and would go to the ends of the earth for our family. I admire him in all that he does. He also starts back at college at the end of the month. He will graduate in a little over a year. Im a little jealous lol but he has had more under his belt than I did to begin with.

Well I have 2 more weeks of my first semester back in college since before we got married and I am so pleased to say that I have an A in both of my classes! Its been hard work getting back into the groove, especially with having Camden but Im very determined to get my degree. It will all be worth it once I get it!

Well thats all for now!

Much love and God bless!

A new member in heaven....

This past thursday, Chris' grandfather went to be with our savior. It was not unexpected by any means but that does not make this any less hard for our family. Chris has lost three grandparents in the past year and a half, his grandma Hazel, his grandma Vi, and now his grandpa Moody. All three have been on his father's side of the family so this has been particularly hard for him. All three were sick and we are very glad that they are no longer suffering and are spending the rest of eternity with the Lord. Please pray for Chris and our family in this hard time. We could definitely use all we can get.

Chris went to Lubbock today for the funeral on monday and will be there until wednesday afternoon. Camden and I are roughing it alone this week. Hes only been gone for not even a full day and I already miss him like crazy. He is my other half and i just feel incomplete when we are apart. I will be counting down the days until he comes back home. This is my first time to be here at home by myself since we have been living in Dover and since we have had Camden. This week should be interesting. Chris is Camden's everything and it makes me sad when he keeps looking around for him....He will be so excited when he gets back. Chris has already texted me a few times asking for me to take a picture of Camden and send it to him. I know hes really going to miss his boy, and me of course.

Thats all for now

Much love and God bless,

Sarah

alot going on!

i feel REALLY overwhelmed right now and im not really sure why. I feel like things just seem so fast paced right now and i really havnt added that much to my schedule. I think its because i had a nice 2 week break from school and now its started again lol. it also might be that i have gone to lubbock texas, new york city, and washington dc in the past 3 weeks. INSANE! but so fun.

Im getting back on schedule with everything so hopefully things will slow down again. I like feeling in control of everything and having a set schedule and when things dont go that way i tend to get stressed out which i know is silly lol.

i need to start back with working out/tanning. I didnt work out the whole time i was in lubbock or when chris' parents were here because we were in ny and dc. i feel pasty white and sluggish from not working out so i have got to get back into gear! im determined!

im so happy that school is back ....i know im totally a nerd but i just feel so much more productive when i am going towards my goals for my degree. I only have 4 more weeks until my semester is complete so i will be really excited to have my first semester through my new college complete.

I miss church. I missed when i was in lubbock and then the next week it was cancelled because of the severe snow storm that we had here and then we went to nyc and dc the next week and this past sunday camden was sick...so we missed again. I will be really glad to get back to my church family next sunday.

im going to the movies tonight! havnt gone in a while but im way excited.

our anniversary is coming up and i cant believe that we have almost been married for two years and that we have a beautiful little boy. Chris is such an amazing man and I am so blessed to have him in my life.

I cant believe that my baby will be one in may. time has gone by so fast and its just insane. Hes so wonderful.

thats all for now! much love and God bless!

Goodbye 2009! hello 2010!

I can't believe that this year is over and we have begun a new. So much has happend this year that were life changing for me.

Moved out of lubbock for the first time in my life. We have found a love for Delaware and feel so blessed to have had this expirience of moving off together and only having eachother to depend on. It has made out marriage grow so much.

Celebrated our first anniversary in March. I feel so lucky to be married to the most wonderful man in the world. he is always so loving and patient, when i can be short and stubborn.

Got out of my teens and into my 20s.

Gave birth to the most beautiful, happy little boy in the world on may 28th

Joined a new church here in Dover that we have been so blessed to be a part of. Its so wonderful to have a church family that you know will cover you in prayer.

Got some new friends that i know will be lifelong. I have never had to make new friends in my life because i always went to the same school and had the same ones.

Gone though some ups and downs financially but have really learned how to get through it and live on a budget.

learned how to cook alot of different things for my family.

Camden learning new words, waving bye bye, laughing, almost crawling, and just being a wonderful little person.

there is so much more but in all 2009 was a wonderful year full of new expiriences that i will treasure forever. welcome 2010!
much love and God bless
