Isn't it so pretty outside! Lucas and I were out a while ago to run errands. A brief stop at the Anderson Library for me to pick up some new fiction, a drop off at the dry cleaners, and a shared doughnut at Dunkin Doughnuts. (I had a coupon). Matt is in Simpsonville doing some work and Lucas is currently sleeping, so I thought I would spend a moment with you sharing my random thoughts on this chilly day.
First, I have to recommend the cd which I am currently listening to. Bebo Norman has always been a favorite of mine. We even had one of his songs played in our wedding. Check out his newest cd, "Between the Dreaming and the Coming True."
My second recommendation of the day (I feel so opinionated) is C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint found at Bath and Body Works. I bought some last week, and I'm loving the taste, smell, and feel! It makes you want to kiss someone. Preferably your husband.... :)
And since I think you need to hear more about things I like (haha), here is a brief list of blogs that I am really enjoying right now. You should check them out!
1. Megret - a dear friend of mine, a fantastic mom, and creative writer
2. Something Beautiful - I've never met Amanda, but I really enjoy her. She's a mom of 3.
3. Amber - I met Amber once while her husband worked for Newspring. They live in Ohio now with a new baby boy.
Our mice are gone at last. We haven't heard or caught any in at least a week now. I'm too much of a girly-girl to be okay with critters sharing my living space. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it. I'm trying to teach Lucas about his body parts. He loves to put both hands on his head and stick his fingers in his ears. He'll get it eventually. :) His language is slowly, but steadily developing. "Shoe" and "Please" are the newest words we've heard come out of his little mouth.
Matt has gotten back to playing raquetball. He competed in a tournament at our local YMCA last weekend. I was so proud of him. We are lucky to have a scholarship to the Y, so Matt and I work out there quite a bit. Speaking of sweating and hardwork, I've renewed my commitment to get in shape and lose the last 15 pounds I've been playing around with. I'm stepping up my workout routine and cutting back on portions. This morning, as an effort to stay motivated, I placed a post-it note on my valentine box of chocolates which reads "it isn't worth it - I promise". I'll keep you posted on my progress.
Well, I've procrastinated long enough. The dishes and laundry can wait no longer.

The updated blog looks really good :) I haven't commented in a while and I feel like a bit of a creepy internet lurker, so I thought I'd say hi :) (Honestly, if it weirds you out that some stranger from Canada reads your blog, please let me know and I promise to stop!)
I'm not sure how old you are, but I turn 23 on Sunday, and while I don't have plans to get married and start a family just yet (I'd need a guy for that! haha) as I want to travel and finish school first, my maternal instinct appears to be kicking in and I think that your loving stories of Lucas may have influenced that a little. I think I first randomly discovered your blog close to a year ago and I've really enjoyed reading stories of a little boy and his family down in the South and hearing about his progression through his first year of life. It's quite inspiring, really.
Hope all is well (sounds like it is),
Rachel
