I'm so excited!!!

"I'm so excited and I just can't hide it..." (okay I had to go there)! One of my sister in laws is due this coming week and hopefully she will have little Tazi in the next couple days...wishing for today! This will be her and my brothers 4th child and 2nd girl. They have a girl oreo: girl, boy, boy, girl. =oD She will be my 4th niece and bring the total to 7 nieces and nephews!!! I am so excited that I am here to see her grow and how the family dynamics will change.

I know I go on and on about being here now and moving and whatnot, but there are so many differences that I never imagined. I feel so blessed to have gotten the chance to move back to where I am from and back to my ever growing family with my fabulous husband!!

Halloween is upon us!

I have always been "into" Halloween. I'm not sure if its the candy, costumes, scary night, combination of it all, I'm not sure. I think lately I have been more into it due to the fact that I have 6, yes...count them 6 nieces and nephews and one more niece on the way (due in a few weeks actually)!! We moved to Michigan 2 years ago and I missed out on the kids' Halloween and was ultimately sad both years from around Halloween until spring due to the fact that there is also Thanksgiving, and Christmas, which is one of my nephews birthdays back to back. So it was needless to say tough for me, especially being around them since they were born, then picked up and moved to a different time zone and couldn't just drive a couple minutes or hours to see them (drive was 15 hours). Now that we are back I am SOOOOO looking forward to seeing all "my" kiddos dressed up looking scary, cute, tough, fast, etc! As well as taking them trick or treating (my favorite). Sort of starts me thinking to when Brett (my hubby) & I have kids. How excited will I be then??!! ;o)
