After reading the book "Purpose of Christmas" it made me think about the true meaning of Christmas. So many people are pulled in so many directions from their daily lives that they don't stop to think about why we celibrate Christmas. I am guilty, I get so busy with the shopping each Christmas and working and just getting so busy that I forget to talk with my daughter and explain to her the true meaning of Christmas. In public school they can't get to religous, so it's up to us as parents to teach her. After reading this book I am going to start a new tradition. We will celibrate Jesus' birthday every year on Christmas Eve. Hannah and I will bake a cake and we will all sing Happy birthday to him.
Sorry I haven't been on here to give you an update. Jeff had his surgery on the 27th of October and is doing great. Better then we both thought). He has his first doctors appointment on Wednessday of next week. (2 week appointment). Then it's only 2 more weeks after that.... I pray that everything works out the way I have been praying for.
Please keep us in your prayers.
My husband and I are thinking about moving into a bigger house. With another child, it might get a little crowded in our 2 bedroom 1 bath house. Although we do have a pretty nice back yard with a new pool. Soooo, we have decided to rent our current house out and purchase a new one. Since our economy is in the dumps it might benifit us right now. I'm a little nervous, I am scared to get bad renters, but that's the chance you have to take. Wish us luck!!!
Ok, the big day for Jeff is October 27th. Then it's count down from there. 4 weeks recovery time. I will keep you all posted. Please keep us in your prayers.
About 7 years ago I found out I had cervical cancer.. After years and years of battleing it my doctor advised my husband and I not to have children at that time. Jeff and I put a lot of thought into the situation and thought the best thing is to get him fix. Well, I have been cancer free for a year now. I spoke to my doctor about having kids and he said if we are to have anymore childern, now would be the best time. He would like me to get a surgery when I'm 30 that might prevent me from ever having kids. Soooooooo with that said, My wonderful, amazing, spectacular husband, Jeff is going under the knife to get a reversal.. I am so excited!!! I hope all works out. Our plan is to be pregnant by November.. I will keep everyone posted.

"Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder "
I know I'm not the only one out there that has days like this!!!
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out th e garbage first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye-- they need water.
I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....
I told Hannah that this summer I was going to plan a lot for her to do.... We were watching Camp Rock last night (It's a new disney movie) and I told Hannah if I was able to, I would get her concert tickets to see the Jonas Borthers in concert. Well, she is going to be very suprised!! I just bought tickets for her this morning.. Yippee!! Jonas Brothers here we come. It's on July 14th so visit my page after for pictures...
Ok, so I haven't ever used this blog thing to vent, but I need to get something off of my chest. Everyone that I am around has more than 2 kids.. I only have one, therefore I am criticized. I am always told that my child is going to grow up spoiled or she will never learn the real world... Ok so I get her limo rides for her birthday (I haven't heard the end of that one) I throw her parties through out the year. ( I like her to be able to have fun with her friends) We go shopping and she always ends up with something even if I am not going shopping for her. Christmas morning at our house looks like there is more than 1 child that lives there...I take her to concerts (Hannah Montana, Aly and AJ) And so on...
Hannah in my eyes is the best child any parent could ever ask for. She works hard in school to get good grades and works on getting every award and the end of each semester (which she gets both). She knows what no means. She will never throw a fit when I tell her no. She does know the real world. We do a lot for childerns homes and we get involved with as much as we can to help out the less fortunate..
I have a friend that is on her 5th child. I think that is awesome! If I was able to have more childern I think I would be side by side with her. People criticize her for having to many kids. And here I am getting picked on and criticized for only having one...
What is wrong with people!!! Can't they mind their own business and be happy for people???? If I want to get a limo every month for my child that's my business. If I want to buy her a pony that's also my business. If I want to buy her a pair of shoes each week, that's also my business..
Is there anyone out there that is positive and can be happy for others??

For those of you that have seen my house, you know it's small. It's 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bath. We were talking about adding on last summer, but ended up getting a pool instead. Last weekend we were talking about how nice it would be to have a play room/game room... Well, a week later, we have a play room/game room... It isn't 100% complete, but it will be by next week. I will post before and after pictures for you all to see.... I now live in a 3 bedroom house.. Yeah me!! I'm moving up in the world..
Jeff and I have become Hannah's team referees for he soccer team. My first day out on the field as a ref was this past Saturday.... I was so nervous I made such bad calls. I let the other team after scoring take the kick off. Bad call Julie!! Oh well. I guess I deserve it. I shouldn't have copied Jeff's test.
This Thursday Hannah is going to turn the BIG 7!!! Wow how time flies... For the day I have rented her a limo. I am going to have the limo pick her up early from school. We are going to stop by one of her friends house and pick her and her mom up, then off we go in style to lunch.. After lunch we will probably stop and get their nails painted then off to the ice cream store... After all that we will drop her friend off then the limo will drop us off. Then at 5 we are headed off to dinner for our family Valentine's dinner... Busy, but fun day!! I will post pictures.... And I will be back to tell you how the weekend will go.. yikes!! What have I gotten myself into... How am I going to out do all this next year..
I have gone my entire 27 years of life without a cavity... I went to the dentist the other day (I hate the dentist) and they told me I have my first cavity. I felt like my world has come to an end. A CAVITY!!! I asked the dentist if she could floss it out... She looked at me like I was crazy..
I went last Friday to get a filling... That visit was also my very last visit.. I can deal with any kind of surgery or pain, but I can't deal with pain in my mouth. I am so glad I was blessed with nice teeth cause I'm not EVER going back to the dentist.. I sure hope Hannah has nice teeth. She is in for a treat..
Can you believe it's 2008??? Wow does time fly!!!!
Well, I wanted to write down a couple new years resolutions. I thought I would share.
1. Lose 10 lbs
2. More Patience
3. More Family vacations.
Happy New Years and I hope you all have an awesome 2008!!!!
