Random Ramblings

Major changes have occurred...yet again! 

One week ago, I quit my job.  There were many reasons behind it...and anyone who knows me really well doesn't need me to go into the details...but suffice it to say...BEST DECISION EVER!  The plan is for me to continue to stay home with the girls.  THANK THE LORD!  The cost of childcare alone would have eaten up my entire paycheck...and honestly?  I am NOT happy in the workplace at this particular point in my life!  I have responsibilities here at home to my husband and children....so at home is where I will be for the unforseen future.

This weekend Adam and I packed up the girls and headed off to Tulsa.  It was a much needed weekend away.  Friday evening, Adam and I were able to have a nice dinner at Fuji's and then we went over to our friends new condo for a little while.  Saturday,  Adam jetted off to play a day of discgolf with his friends and I loaded up my sister in law for a day of pedicures, shopping, and a movie.  That evening we went out with Andy and Ruth to the Looney Bin to see Kevin Bozeman.  WHO by the way...was absolutely HILARIOUS!
The girls spent the entire weekend laying around with grandpa...which was by far the highlight of his week I am sure!  :)

I have been quite the little deep thinker lately.  I am not sure if Adam knows what to make of it...but I think I am at a point in my life where I am learning even more about myself and what I value, think, etc.  Its kind of refreshing to realize things...even if those realizations can hurt sometimes!

Annslie is 7 months old.  Where has the time gone?  I swear it was just yesterday I was holding her for the first time!  She is crawling, pulling up, and even climbed 3 stairs at Adam's dads house this weekend.  I am sure before I know it she will be walking...so I guess its time to double check all the outlets!  Hehe.  
 Addyson is changing so much.  She is losing the "baby" look and really starting to look like a big girl.  She is constantly surprising Adam and I with the things she says.  She is SO curious!  She is constantly asking questions about EVERYTHING!  It is hard for me to believe that this time next year...she will be in Pre-K!  Where has the time gone?  I remember being pregnant with her!  She is REALLY into dressing up right now...and then asks me to take pictures of her after she has found an outfit to wear.  Sometimes I have to raise the eyebrow when she puts some stuff on...but I secretly I am super thrilled at how independent she is!

 Adam begins his first of the last 3 semesters of college.  We finally see a light at the end of the tunnell!  Neither one us knows exactly what is in store for our life after college...its a little scary to be honest.  However, we are soooo ready to embark on the next leg of our journey together.  We are stronger than ever as a couple.  The Lord has been really teaching me alot about myself...and as a result...has been really teaching me about being a wife!  Adam has been absolutely fabulous...he was on top of things as much as he could be while I was working...AND he took 6 hours of classes this summer!  He ended up with an A and a B in his classes, all while watching the kids, cleaning the house, cooking, etc.  I have had to learn to relinquish control though...which has NOT been easy AT ALL!  :)

Thats about all thats going on in the Jones' family lately....I am sure that as the days, weeks, months go by I will have more to update everyone on...but for right now...its time to get ready for yet another semester of school!  :)
