little tidbits -
Strick's birthday party turned out so great (In June!)! Glad he has lots of little friends he will grow up with :) Our church family is AMAZING! They are always there for us and we are so happy and blessed we can be surrrounded by people that are not only good influences for us but for our son! Glad I have two great girlfriends that are dedicated to making time for each other! :) Girlsmas was a blast! Great to get away to dinner with just the ladies!
We met with our financial advisor a few weeks ago to re-evaluate our goals and where we are currently. He still says we shouldn't buy a house just yet, not until legal fees are lowered or gone - this is my latest project and will be the source of my stress the next few weeks. We go to court on Jan. 17th so I'm calling the attorney's office daily to get something in motion to get the fee lowered. Prayers our way PLEASE! This has gone on too long!
School starts for me in January also... starting all over... joy... Tim and I both agree that even if I'll be staying home later on I still need to have my degree. Get through the next two / three years and then be home, going to school (and hopefully with a newborn!) I have contemplated going back to work after I've gotten my degree and our new baby will be about one-ish, but Tim says only if I want to. I guess it'll depend on how we are doing financially, I may want to help boost the six month emergency fund :) And may need a break from kiddos, hehehe! I have also thought of taking on a part time job (two / three days a week) after I graduate, we will see how it all works out. Lots of plans, but based on when we have another baby will be a deciding factor for sure. Still have two years left on the BC I'm on so we shall see!
We took family portraits in January (for Strick's 7 month milestone session), June - immediate family, and in November (annual Christmas session). I am SO glad Tim understands the importance of pictures, otherwise I may drive him nuts :) hehehe. He knows how important pictures are to me and I've stressed the importance many times. I am planning two sessions next year... we are doing a session in May and in November for annual Christmas pics. Tim's sister, Michele & her family and we are going to see a new photographer local to New Braunfels in May, we are wanting to see what her pics turn out like. We are pretty devoted to Donna, but Tim says it doesn't hurt to get something different from time to time. He did make a comment that we would go to Laura at the smile house when we want another huge 20x30 family portrait. :) So... five years or so! LOL.
Tis all for now! Today is my Friday!
