This and That

I sure can't believe January went by so fast. Lots of fun things going on in the Miles house!

January 17th marked a special day for Jason and I. We have been together for 10 years! It blows my mind to think of us THEN and to see how far we have come NOW. Jason is my very best friend and I cannot imagine my life without him. I don't tell him often enough, but I am so very thankful for the father and husband that he is.

Jaxon is now 21 months old. It hurts my heart a little that my sweet baby boy is growing up. Jason asked me the other night when we were going to turn his crib into a toddler bed. With a deep sigh, I replied, "When he turns 2." It is such a bitter sweet time in his life. I miss my sweet baby, but I so much enjoy watching him grow and learn fun new things. For example, I came home last night from eating dinner with a couple of my girlfriends, and Daddy had taught him this: Daddy, "What does Mommy say?" Jaxon, "NO! NO! NO!" Daddy, "What does Daddy say?" Jaxon, "YES! YES! YES!" LOL It really is funny.

Two weekends ago my besties (Marissa, Courtney, and Traci) and myself took a little road trip to Oklahoma to visit Rhonda and Ava. Sweet Ava turned 4 in December and we drove up to give her some birthday gifts and hang out with Rhonda. Rhonda's husband Thomas watched Jaxon and Ava while us girls went to get mani's and pedi's. While we all agreed that they were fantastic pedicures, we might as well have let Ava and Jaxon do the painting! Ohhhh our paint jobs were awful! LOL None the less, we all got to hang out together and catch up, which is what it was all about anyway. I am so very blessed to have great friends and I hope they all know how much I love them.

While listening to KLTY on my way home from work one day I heard that Elmo and Friends were coming to Grand Prairie to the Nokia Theatre. I immediately told Jason and we got tickets for Feb. 27th. I really don't know who is more excited, me or Jaxon. Elmo is his favorite and we watch him all the time on T.V. I have heard great things about the show and cannot wait to see the look on Jaxon's face when he gets to see Elmo live!

My job is going really well. I really, really love all the people I work with. Last Tuesday night we had our team outing and we all went bowling in downtown Dallas. I really enjoyed myself, even though I suck at bowling! LOL I suppose the one and only thing I can complain about is the traffic. While typically it is really not that bad all, heaven forbid it be raining! Thursday Jason stayed home with Jaxon as he had a little bit of a cough. I called Jason crying my eyes out (again) at about 6:30pm because I still hadn't made it home yet. It was cold and rainy out and I35 was just a mess! I can say though, that I LOVE when school is out because I fly home! So come on summer time!!

I made just a couple Resolutions for 2010, being a better blogger for one, and $aving $aving $aving! I set aside a monthly goal that I would like to save each month (for our moving fund) and I am proud to say that I was able to make that wonderful transfer today! Jason and I know we will be in this house for the next year or two, but I want to start saving now so that we are able to make a healthy down payment on our next home.

I hope that you all are having a great start to a new year!
