30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 29 & 30

>

Day 29: Wishes

I am not really one to wish. I pray. BUT, if you handed me a magic lamp and told me I had three wishes I would wish for:

1. A long, healthy life with my husband
2. A long, healthy life for my children
3. And a dream house deep in the mountains

Day 30: A picture (see above)
This is a sunrise. I took the picture last summer. One of the most incredible pics EVER!

The end! I know I mashed several days into one post a few times, but this is the first challenge I am finishing so I gotta say I'm a bit proud.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 27

>
Day 27: Pets

See?? My days are all off so just roll with it.

Butte:

I rescued Butte from the humane society just over 4 years ago. She was my birthday present from my parents and I love her so much. She was my first child. Butte has a great personality, though overwhelming sometimes. She wants you to play with her all day long and love on her at night. Now that Logan is around, she is quite jealous but is doing much better with accepting the fact that he is not going anywhere.

Tulo:

Tulo is a Greyhound and no, he is not a rescue. I found him on craigslist as a puppy. B picked him out of he litter and he is our wise old soul. He is crazy-smart and loves Logan just as much as he loves us.

Butte and Tulo together are best friends. They run, they play, they sleep and they annoy each other just like a brother and sister should.



30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 25

>
Day 25: My Family

There is nothing on this Earth that means more to me than my family. I would not be the person I am today without them and I know that is so cliche, but it's true. Now that I have my own family, I am even more tangled in love with them. My husband is my best friend and we have the most perfect connection. He is relaxed and easy going while I am more high strung and eccentric. The mix is just right. Then there's Logan. Our little lover boy. I am amazed by him every day and yes, someday he will have a brother or sister to play with, but not yet. For now, he is all ours, all by ourselves. Just us.


My broda Jason. You will never see me spell out "brother" when referring to him because I have never called him my "brother". I always say it baby-like or like "bro-haha". Yeah.

My parents. I already talked about them. If you were at my wedding (HEIDI!!!) then you know it was the best wedding of the year, if not EVER (yes, totally biased) and it was only that amazing BECAUSE of my parents. There is not one thing I would change other than having more cake. We never got a piece. :(


I just had a thought: I've not been very good at the whole "challenge" since I find myself catching up on 2-3 days at a time...anyway. That must explain why the days aren't even matching up with where they should be.




30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 24

>
Let's try this again.

Day 24: iTunes on Shuffle, First 10 Songs

1. Almost Lover--A Fine Frenzy
My very close friend Ashley first introduced this lovely lady to me 2 years ago. The song Near to You is my most favorite and I used those words "near to you" in my wedding vows.
2. Crooked Teeth--Death Cab for Cutie
I saw Death Cab at Red Rocks a few years back with Bestie and we had a ball. The show was incredible and if you are ever in Colorado you MUST see a show at Red Rocks. I DARE you to find me a better venue for a concert.
3. Only Alive--Jars of Clay
I love this love song. Jars, I believe, wrote this as a love song to Jesus, but I think the words work perfectly as a love song to your lover. I listened to this often while B and I were dating. I prayed over and over that he was "The One" and the more I heard this song the more I feel in love with him.
4. Blood, Sex, & Booze--Green Day
Silly song.
5. Tell All Your Friends--Taking Back Sunday
Another silly song. It's one of B's so I am not that fond of it.
6. Very Loud--Shout Out Louds
If you happen to enjoy music that is NOT on the radio, then this band is for you. I found them a good 5-6 years ago and they are a-mazing!! Know of Arcade Fire?? Kind of like them.
7. Swagger Like Us--TI, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, & Jay-Z
I LOVE this song!! We found a TI CD in a parking lot one day and then the song was on Slumdog Millionaire and that was it. I cannot help but sing along and dance, if I can, every time I hear it.
8. Hot Cookin--G Love and the Special Sauce
You can never go wrong with some G Sauce. MMMmm good.
9. No Body Drinks Alone--Keith Urban
This man, oh this man! I love his voice and this song is so depressing, but ahhh his voice!! My friend Chelsea recently saw him this summer at the Greeley Stampede and said he was amazing. I don't doubt that one bit!
10. Hundred--The Fray
One of the most piano solos on the entire album. Isaac Slade has the same gripe on me musically as Keith Urban and Taylor Hanson do. My little musical soul just melts with the sound of their voice. They lyrics are amazing.
11. Faust Arp--Radiohead
When my player when to Radiohead, I HAD to include it in the list. I love me some Radiohead. Whenever I feel motivated enough to go for a run, their music is perfect for keeping pace. Oh and for a long, mountain drive.

30 Day Challenge: Day 24

Something I've Learned

I could write a novel on what I have learned and continue to learn on a daily basis. I wish there was one way to sum all those things up, but my brain is too fried to thing of something witty. Go ask Heidi. I am sure she can think of something. :)

Anyway, I have learned:

...motivation comes within, not without.
...running away from a crawling baby does not mean he can't keep up with you.
...trusting in God's plan is way harder than it sounds and always will be.
...being a working mother IS officially way harder than being a SAHM. More on this later...
...I am the farthest thing from fashionable.
...I look best with my hair long.
...red heals are super sexy.


I am always learning. I look at that list and it's kinda lame. Sorry. See my next post on songs. Way more fun.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Catch Up

>
I know, I know. I have been a total slacker on this blog challenge but I honestly have no mojo to get 'er done. Every waking moment I am with Logan is spent with him. He is napping and now is the only time I have to write. I cherish every second with him more than anything.

This week has been rough. I won't lie. Lots and lots of contemplating and self-reflecting going on. I just want to be happy. If you came over to my house right now and asked me to my face if I was happy, I would shrug and say I don't know. Honestly, I'm not. My heart breaks every single time I pass him off into some other woman's arms and the remainder of the day is spent wishing I was with him. Sure, I'm the happiest when I am with Logan and his daddy, but the hours I spend with them is less than what I spend at work. That just isn't right. There will be some changes coming soon. Not sure exactly when, but B sees how much it is killing me to be away from Logan. I cry just thinking about tomorrow.

So here is a quick catch up. I am going to wake Logan up and take him swimming!


Day 21: A Picture of Me

There are not very many pictures of just me because I am usually the one behind the camera. I would love a new camera. Just sayin. Anyway, this was my wedding day, just before heading down to the gardens to say "I Do". The blue sky in the background is deceiving-it was rainy at that moment and it all cleared up once I started to walk down the aisle. It is, like I've said before, the most incredible happiest day of my life. And sunflowers are my most fav.

Day 22: Favorite Vacation

Cabo! We ventured our way to Cabo 9 months after our wedding day and it was perfect. Cabo in April is perfect. It's still just before the high season settles down and it was not too terribly hot. We had save for months and were able to do everything we wanted. B and I never fight and vacationing together is no different. We love being together and it was the last time we were just the two of us, literally.

Day 23: Favorite City (Yeah, I know I mixed that one and day 22 up--so what)

This is a tough one. I LOVE traveling. I absoultly love the city we live in and because this is the crazy interwebz, I will not be revealing where that is exactly but it is in my most favorite state, Colorado. Living here is perfect. We have mountains, rivers, lakes, and the occasional wave pool. Everything is just a days drive away. But wait, this was not about my favorite state.

The first city that comes to mind is New York City. I have been to the City countless times and I love it. I love how busy it is. I love the lights and the people and the culture. It is so invigorating and my dear hubs has never been. I HOPE to take him next year sometime. My favorite restaurant there is Ruby Foos, an ethnic array of everything. The best duck dumplings I have eva had in my life! I love shopping at H&M because I can afford it, but Saks 5th Ave is amazing. I love putting on a $5000 dress I'll never be able to wear just because. I love the smell. I know that sounds weird because the smell is a dirty smell. But it is so New York. If you blindfolded me and put me on a plane to La Guardia, I would know the moment I stepped off the plane that we were in NYC. I have met the Nake Cowboy a few times. I walked barefoot in Central Park. I saw Patrick Dempsy filming Enchanted (though, I did not know that was him at the time). I saw Kenny Chesney at Madison Square Gardens. My favorite bar is at the top of the Marriot Marque in the spinning bar. Best lemon drop martini ever!!

Ugh...that makes me want to go back BAD!!

Day 24 will come tomorrow...

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 20

>
What's in a name? Nicknames.

No, I don't have one. Nothing that has ever stuck. My name is Sarah and it means Princess. I am pretty sure the day I learned that I truly began to embody the definition of a princess. Yeah, that didn't work out too well. Sometimes B calls me SarBear, but very rarely. When I was in middle school I tried to get everyone to call me by my middle name. That didn't work either.

Logan has a ton of nicknames. Pooh Bear, Monkey Man, Lo Lo, Mister Man, Stinker Face....those are the regularly used terms of endearment.

B, along with me, does not have any nicknames either.

Our dog Tulo has a million: T, T-tons, TT, Pooplo, T-Man, Dog, T-Payne, just to name a few.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 19

Play Along.

Something I Miss

This is a heavy one. Being a new parent, there are several things I miss now. But I'm not resentful about what I miss. I would not trade anything in the world for Logan in my life. Life, however, does change when a wee one comes into the mix and these are the things I miss. If you're a parent, I am sure most of these things are obvious.

* Sleeping In
* Spontaneous Date Nights
*Extra Cash
* Going to Concerts
* Reading a Book in less than a months time
* My Perky Sistas
* My Skinny Hips
* My Night-Owl Tendencies

And these are the things I miss that actually matter:

* My best girlfriends: Ash, Bestie, Kathleen, Heidi

That's it. People matter most to me and three of the above lovely ladies have not even had the pleasure of meeting the new man in my life. All three of us are mothers and we live in different towns. I miss seeing them more often but I know that friendships run deep.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 18

>
Something I Regret

Sadly, there are a few things which I regret. Or rather, I wish I had done differently. However, knowing what I know now, there were reasons for why they happened the way they did.

* I regret not finishing my teaching degree when I was still in school, unwed and baby-free. Now I know that I waited because I truly, honest to goodness had no clue until just recently that I REALLY wanted to be a teacher.

* I regret drinking too much. This is very vague but I always think this after a night of too much wine or one too many beers which causes me to either get sick or feel totally hungover in the morning. I know my limit, but there are times I totally ignore it and keep going.

* I regret going to the hospital too soon when I was in labor. This is silly, I know. But a part of me thinks we could have stayed home for another hour or two. Now, I realize it was a good thing because Logan had some heart-rate issues and I am very glad to have been at the hospital where they could monitor him closely.

* I regret ever having gone back on anxiety medications. This is something I am still a little bitter over, as the wound is fresh. Quite simply, it has done a nasty number on my body and I will never again take a mind-altering drug.

That's it. I really try not to regret anything. God gave us free will and I believe regret is more of a way that we learn lessons. There has never been anything that I have truly felt so terribly about that it just ate away at me. I also believe in forgiveness and that it is 10 times harder to forgive myself for something than it is to forgive another.

Day 17: Something I am Looking Forward To

Hey Heidi...check out THAT hanging preposition! Naughty Naughty!!

Anyhoo

It seems that I am always looking forward to something. Once that something passes, there is no doubt something waiting to fill it's spot.

Taking the test. Wait. No. Being DONE with the test.
The holidays.
Dressing up as a cow tomorrow at work.
Seeing Logan take his first step.
Celebrating 4 years with B.
Buying a house.
Moving out of this dumpy apartment.
Sleep. Where ever did you go??

Just a few things. If you happened to pop over from Katie's Journey then THANKS!! Nice to see you here. How about a bribe? If you leave me a little lovin I'll leave you a little lovin. ;)

30 Day Challenge: A Buncha Days...

>
I give in. I CANNOT not blog. And if I read one more quantitative problem tonight my eyes are going to bleed and my brain will explode. Seriously. This is my most recent FB status:

"I give in. This GRE crap is so hard! Seriously, I'd rather give birth again--without an epidural!"

I mean it. I would gladly take on gut-wrenching, crotch-burning labor for 12 hours than deal with the unexpected nature of this test meant only for geniuses. So, as a distraction, I am going to catch up on the Challenge and TRY to relax.

Wanna play?

Day 15: Bible Verse

John 11:35

Jesus wept.

This verse has been the most real, validated verse in all of the Bible for me. It realizes Jesus, makes him more of a man than any other. I believe some of the trusts emotions anyone can show is with tears. When I cry, it's for real. And I know when B cries, it is real. If you happen to see me pulled over on the side of the road balling, it's because I a) peed my pants because my bladder will NEVER be the same or b) am so anxious and scared of the outcome there is nothing else I can do. Fortunately for you, I have only been pulled over once and I never even cried.

In all seriousness, this verse is just beautiful. It's easy to remember, it's real. Jesus wept. When I think of what the word means, I see Jesus sitting with his head in his hands crying, hard. His heart is aching. I feel tightness in my chest just thinking about it.

Day 16: Dream House

Two stories
Vaulted Ceilings
Large fireplace in living room and master bed
Jacuzzi tub in master bath
Heated tilling in master bath
Double shower heads in master bath
Master plus 3 beds for our beautiful children
Large kitchen with stainless steal appliances
Cherry wood floors throughout main floor
Large front and back yard, fenced in the back for the dogs an safety
A MAID TO CLEAN IT ALL ONCE A WEEK. :)

No, pray for me.

You Gotta Have Goals

>
Day 13: Goals

I think I have talked about my goals quite a bit so I'm going to keep it short and sweet. Nothing has changed recently other than the intensity to meet these goals.

1. Get my Masters in Elem Ed so I can teach little minds.
2. Buy a house
3. Have more children--I'm thinking a total of 3 or 4...we'll see
4. Take on more creative projects and finish them
5. Run 5 miles a week
6. Lose 10 more pounds
7. Do 1 thing for myself once a month that is totally selfish
8. Become a better cook
9. Decorate my living space
10. Become a more fashionable fashionista (Cue Heidi driving her cute lil butt up to CO and raiding my closet for me.)

I think it goes without saying that being a loving mother and wife, lover and listener of Jesus, and compassionate and dedicated friend are always ongoing goals which require self-improvement.

Everyone Should Read The Tao of Pooh

>
Day 10: Something You're Afraid Of

I think if I were to honestly answer this question I would only be fueling that big, giant black monster. I address that monster with my counselor and for now, that is the only place I feel it deserves any credit. With that, my only fear is that the fears inside will be realized. It's a damn ugly cycle and so my only other fear is that I won't be able to live without it. That I won't be able to live without fear. With all this muddled mess in mind, I will stick to fearing the Lord as I know he is the only one with the true answers.

Day 11: Favorite TV Shows

My love for TV is indeed unhealthy and whoever said you can't watch it with a kid was obviously not as committed to their shows as I am. That being said, I only watch TV when Logan is sleeping and now that we got rid of our major cable package, I watch a lot online now.

One Tree Hill
Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice
America's Next Top Model
Teen Mom
Survivor
Anything on the Discovery Channel or TLC

Day 12: What I Believe

I believe that women should have the right to their own bodies.
I believe that personhood begins at birth, not conception.
I believe that I married my soulmate.
I believe that Jesus is my homeboy.
I believe that I was born to be a mother.
I believe that my mother is my hero.
I believe that stay at home moms work just as hard as working moms.
I believe in miracles.
I believe in ghosts.
I believe writing is the best way for me to express myself.

Day 9: A Picture of Your Friends

>

(bestie, me, jess, kathleen, mom, mil, lay and ash @ my baby shower)


(me and ash waiting to meet stephanie meyer. die hard twi fans here!)


(me and sil on st. pattys day)

(beautiful bridesmaids- cousin heidi is 2nd from the right and she is the closest person to a sister i have)


(me and bestie before we left for my bac. party)

Oh mi friends. How I love you all. Even those of you I have never met. My social circle is quite small. Not one of my closest girlfriends lives where I live. This makes it hard on all of us to stay in touch over the phone, facebook and emails. Bestie is my bestie. She had I started out as roomies almost 6 years ago and the rest is history. Our love for all things music, Gilmore Girls, and sexy guys has never waivered. She was my maid of honor and went above and beyond the typical MOH responsibilities. Our friendship, especially since I got married, has had it's highs and lows. We are both in different places in our lives. She has a great, serious, loving boyfriend and I'm married with a baby. Our commitments and priorities are different but we make huge efforts to overcome those and make time for each other. We just spent this past Saturday together eating yummy crepes and spending time outside window shopping.

I have known Ash just as long as Bestie. She was the one who was married and had a baby before I was married and had a baby. She is the kind of friend that you don't talk to very often, but when you do, and when you get together, it is as if no time has past. It's great. She turned me onto Twilight well before it was anything to rave about and by the time there was a rave going on, we were waiting in line with our Host books for an autograph from Ms. Twilight herself. We share a love of reading and I am certain that if I had a more risky bone in my body that Ash and I would truly be one in the same. We have had our share of tequilla shots and catch phrase. I miss her dearly and can't wait until the next time we do see each other.

Miss Heidi, my most special cousin, is one of the coolest women I know. Sadly, we have spent more of our lives apart than together, but we've always been close. We're even close in this crazy bloggy world. Being that we are both mothers keeps us more than busy but we always have time for a quick text. I find myself consulting her for advice pertaining to Logan and all that post partum crap we have to deal with. Heidi and I used to dress up and pretend we were twins. She has a sister, but I don't and I am certain that if I was to have a sister, she was it.

My friendships mean the world to me and especially with the women I listed above. There are a few others I am very close to and no one is in any particular order. I would not be the woman I am today without these women in my life.

Days 7 & 8: Places Traveled & Fav Movies

>

Day 8: A Place You've Traveled

Cabo San Lucas!!! Best visit ever. I had been there when I was 15 as a nanny and yes, that was a fab experience. But nothing is nearly as fab as sitting on the beach all day long, eating the most amazing guac you've ever had, playing beach volley ball, kayaking with sea lions, snorkeling, happy hour drinks, poker by the pool, and a beautiful room overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Ask just about any of our friends and they will try to convince you that Cabo is where we conceived Logan since we found out just a month later that I was knocked up. Funny, I didn't know they were all there when that happened!! Lol...no, friends, Logan was not conceived in Cabo. It was AFTER Cabo.

Day 7: Favorite Movies

I could go on forever with this list but I will keep it short and sweet:
  1. Knocked Up
  2. The Hangover
  3. The Notebook
  4. Inglorious Bastards
  5. The Hurt Locker

Days 5 & 6

>

(holding Logan for the 1st time)


(me and my broha)

Day 5: Sibling

I just have one. My lil broda J. This pic was taken on Christmas Eve 2005 just once day after he returned home from Iraq. To say I am proud of him is an understatement. To say that we are really close, however, is an overstatement. We have always had our ups and downs in our relationship and I would like to THANK HIM for helping me go into labor after a an argument.

We are 22 months apart and I don't know how my mother, or anyone for that matter, manages 2 under 2. It just exhausts me thinking about it. When we were really little, we were best buds. I protected him and we played legos together. We'd sneek downstairs to watch TV behind mom and dad's backs. When I was a teenager, we fought a lot. I was a whole head taller than him for a few years and now he towers over me and B at 6'5''.

He is a Marine, a police acadamy grad, a defense investigator and single. He's trying to stop smoking...something I am beyond proud of him for. He has a dog who has two different colored eyes. We get along great when the time between our visits is long. I do wish he would come over and play with Logan more, and I know he does too, but his job is very demanding and the times he can come play is usually after Logan is in bed for the night. He loves Logan so much. When I think about the time he spent in Iraq, I am so gratefull that he is here to share these moments with us. He is a great brother and the more he grows up the more we grow closer.


Day 6: A pic that Makes you Happy


(The first time I held Logan after he was whisked away to the NICU, nearly 12 hours after he was born.)

Day 4 and an Update

>
Day 4: Your Parents

When I think of my parents I think of true love. I love of the most loving and driven people I know. I think of all the things they did for my brother and me just so we were happy, safe and healthy. I think of the two people I can only hope to be like when I grow up.

Most Saturdays in the summer time, me and my dad would load up the car with our fishing gear, head to the tackle shop for some night crawlers and recess pieces, and cruise on up to a quiet lake for the day. Mom would pack us PB and Js and dad would teach me how to catch a fish. First, I learned the art of patience while fishing with bait on a hook. Funny, now that I think about it I think that night crawlers might be easier to fish with! Luers were never very luering...
I learned that you're never to throw rocks into the water and to always stand on a solid surface. I learned how to dig a hole with the butt of my pole into the dirt while waiting for my fish.

When we got lucky and had a bite, dad always helped guide me in reeling in that bugger. He would tell me when to really lay into the reel and when to slow it down. Going to fast meant we would risk losing the fish. Once the fish was ashore, he showed me how to hold the fish in the shallow water while slowly removing the hook. We almost always would catch and release our fish. On the rare occasions we brought it home, he also showed me how to roll up my sleaves and gut the fish. I LOVED this part, mostly because the biggest treasure was finding a fish with eggs in her. I don't know why that was so aluring to me, but I loved it.

One of the first times we ever went camping as a family will always be memorable. The whole family was hanging out around the edge of the lake. Dad was fishing and I am sure my brother and I were trying to catch minnows in a bucket. Dad asked me to step back-I was getting to close to him and his rod. So I moved and he hooked me. With the lure. In my head. And pulled. This experience did not waiver my fishing days with dad, but increase my love for all things outdoors, especially fishing.

***

Memories of my mother always have to do with her taking care of me, whether it was while I was sick or planning a sleep over or needing a shoulder to cry on. We have always been close which meant that when we were fighting, we fought hard. When we are together, we are closer than the eye can see. Our hearts and minds connect. We can finish each others sentences and guess how the other is feeling even before we answer the phone. As a teenager, I took our closeness for granted. Now, as a parent and adult, I see what she meant all those times she was trying to communicate something important to me.

When I went to college, everyone always asks you what you're going to college for. I
immediately rejected the thought of following in my mothers' footsteps as a teacher and declared business as my major. Just 2 years into college and I knew that teaching was something which was in my blood and it has taken 5 years for me to finally be achieving that goal. I am finally doing what I know I will love and I have my mother mother to thank for that.

***

Update you ask? Well it's just to tell you that the withdrawal symptoms are still kicking my ass. I asked around and have decided to do a body detox. I'm going to first do a 24 hour one to just get everything out with yummy smoothies, baths, and gallons and gallons of water. I will do my best to log that day so that I can share it here. If any of you have tried this before, please share your experience.

Day 3: First Love

>
Wow, three posts in one day. Survivor is THAT boring tonight. hehe. Wanna link up? Go here.

Day 3. Your First Love

This is a hard one, believe it or not. If you're asking me about the first person I said "I love you" to or the first person I thought I was in love with, then that would be a good guy whom both my husband and I are still friends with.

My freshman year in college I had a friend who happened to live across the street from me in my home town go to the same school. We were fast friends and shared a lot of the same interests including tastes in music, movies, and activities. He's a drummer and I am like a moth to a flame when it comes to musicians. We buddied up and all our friends always asked if there was anything romantic going on and I always denied it. Well, the last day of our freshman year as we were moving out, it all came to a head and we secretly spent the summer dating and surprised our friends with our newfound relationship that fall. It lasted just over a year and when I look back on it, I realize I was not truly in love with him. I loved him, and I still do, as a friend. But it was not until I met B that I learned what true, deep as your soul and ache in your heart love is. So sure, drummer boy was technically my first love, but my first (and LAST) true love is and always will be B. I love you honey!

New 30 Day Blog Journal: Days 1 & 2

>
Maybe I will actually complete this one. Link up HERE.
Andddd go.


Day One: Introduce, Recent Pic, and 15 Interesting Facts

(at the apple orchard in Michigan)

Well I think most of you know quite a bit about me. To sum it all up, I am 26 years old, married for just over 2 years and I have an 8 month old son. He is quite literally the apple of my eye. I adore being a mother. I love Jesus, I love reading and even more I love having a quite night alone with B, which is a very rare occurrence nowadays.

15 Interesting Facts?

one. I have never broken a bone.
two. I think Spicy Pickle pickles are THE BEST.
three. I worry about living long enough to see my son grow up.
four. I believe that I was meant to be a momma to boys. We'll see what happens next time.
five. I hate running yellow lights.
six. There is no such thing as aliens. However, I do believe in ghosts.
seven. My favorite video game is anything Mario.
eight. I have an -ish nose: half polish half jewish. (I am not polish OR jewish)
nine. I was one of the first 100,000 people to have a myspace page and now, i don't.
