Oh what a year it's been! So much has happened since January 2011, and so much was unknown to us at that time. We have both gotten new jobs, had a sweet little baby boy, and moved - not in that order, but almost! It's been a whirlwind, with moving literally one week after Henry's birth. We could not have done it without our family, there is no doubt, but all the glory goes to God, who has been so faithful to us, to provide every need and even desire of our hearts this year! I remember thinking how on earth is everything going to fall into place? But it has, it truly has, and I am so thankful.

So looking ahead to 2012 - Henry will be celebrating his first birthday in May, and Abbie will be turning four! Wes and I will celebrate 12 years of marriage, and then Abbie will start pre-K in the fall....and I'm sure we'll go on some vacations here and there, the first one being a trip for me and the kids to Florida. We will try to sell our house (again) in NC, and probably renew our rental contract on the house here in Atlanta.

It's been a great year for our family, and I hope it's been for yours as well. Happy 2012 everyone!

Checking In

Now before we go any further, this post is not going to be me "checking in" with you all, my readers, all 2 of them ( : Nope, it's about Facebook, and "Checking in". You know, the posts you see from someone's smart phone that says "So and So checked in at So and So with So and So". It's taken me a while to get used to these posts from my Facebook friends. I have to admit there have been times when I've seen them and been a little upset, jealous, whatever you want to call it, like wait a minute, she's where with who? And why wasn't I invited? I mean, if I had this function on my phone and used it, I think I might be a little cautious sometimes to check in certain places because I wouldn't want someone to feel left out - you know what I mean? But really, what I wanted to say, was HOLY MOLY, I have this friend on Facebook that I'm considering de-friending, one because to be honest, when he sent me a friend request I had no idea who he was, and had to look at our mutual friends to even somewhat remember him, and two, well he's getting a little out of hand with this whole checking in thing. Yesterday, I guess he was on a trip from Chattanooga to Atlanta. How did I know this? Well, he checked in at every possible place he could, from the BP station to scenic overlooks!! I mean really? There were like 10 places in a period of about two hours. I like knowing where people are sometimes - like I said, I've gotten used to it, but that is ridiculous! I really don't want to be unkind, but why would someone check in at every stop? Ok, I just had to vent a minute about this. I know some days I feel like I'm addicted to Facebook, and maybe I do have a slight problem - I like it, what can I say. But please tell me if I'm an annoying Facebook friend -like I tell you how many times I go to the bathroom a day, or when I'm grocery shopping at Publix, and what aisle I'm on. Ahhh, modern technology. Sometimes it can provide a little too much information into our private lives, wouldn't you agree??
