First Birthday

I haven't posted in a while. I guess I just don't feel the need or the desire or the motivation or whatever. Maybe I just don't care about this blog anymore. I'm not sure it's really serving any purpose.

But anywho, Corbin celebrated his first birthday recently. It was, all in all, a good day. We made it through without any drama and I'm thankful for that. My family's party was the day we told everyone the big news about being pregnant. We had bought a shirt for Corbin that kind of broke it to them. He opened that present last and I think it's safe to say everyone was shocked. Still trying to figure out if it was a good shocked or a bad shocked.

My friend Cindy helped a lot with the Elmo decorations and stuff. We made two Elmo fruit trays, had some other cute things and I know if it were left up to me, I'd be in trouble. I am definitely thankful for Cindy!

We took Corbin to the NC Zoo on his actual birthday last Wednesday. A stupid tropical storm was coming through NC that day but luckily it didn't get much of the Asheboro area. God was looking out for us for sure! We had fun. We saw every single thing there and Corbin seemed to enjoy it. I managed to have a good day too and wasn't sick any that day. But at the end of the day, my feet were killing me. We probably walked 5 miles, up and down hills. I thought I was going to die before I made it to the car. But it was worth it!

I'm still in disbelief my child is one. I mean, wasn't it yesterday, seriously yesterday I gave birth to him? And now, not only is he one, but we have another one on the way!

We had to really work our butts off to make sure Corbin had a good birthday. We are very tight in the money department right now but we are managing. We're cutting back, trying to pay off some things, all while making sure Corbin gets what he wants and needs. So we really scraped and saved to make sure we could do what we wanted for his birthday. In the end, as usual, God provided for us.

It's hard to believe God is so good to my family. I know I don't deserve it but I'm thankful none the less.
