BOUNCE U with Mom, Wes, & Maddox

Never once have we set foot in bounce u...actually we still haven't but Mom, Wes, and Maddox have. That gives us a new inspiration to go soon...they had such a fun time as you can clearly see on the VLOG's below.... we might go this Thursday.

Cornfield Maize with Mom & Wes

We had an amazing time at the Cornfield Maize. This place is only open weekends and in September and October but we had such a FUN time! Figuring out how to get through the maize was challenging but we finally got through it....and we felt like we were flying!! We'll have to go back sometime soon.

Posting of the fun times we had with Mom , Wes, & Brian!!

Monday....UUGH!!

Monday...back to work I go....it's weird because it seems that I actually am one of those people who love their work...I really do....but with my mom and Wes in town all I want to do is spend time with them. They are only here for one more week and sometimes I just want to stay in my mom's arms all day and turn in to a baby again. What a weird feeling huh? I'm 27 years old and a mom and a wife but sometimes I feel like I miss the good old days...don't we all....

While we are on the topic of being a kid...my beautiful son Maddox and I had a really special bonding moment last night. I feel like we really connected and understood each other... I love my son more than anything in the world of course... but last night he really felt like he was meant to be in my life and I really was meant to be in his. It's hard to explain but it was just a really special moment with him...I'm sure there will be many more to come. I guess that is what a relationship is all about...building one special moment together to the next until your special moments all blend in together and you just love someone so much that you bubble over with mushy love goop. (Wow...that might just be a good enough quote for a Hallmark Card)

I got to get to bed...it's midnight and my eyes are getting heavy with sleep....catch up soon.

I feel so good I finally ran today!!

It was a little under 2 miles but at least it was a run...I need to find some people out in Greensboro,NC who like to run too. :) I'll be back on the running path tomorrow morning...

Back from the beach with the Teeples

Carolina Beach is one of the most relaxing places to go...with the sand, surf, and family there it really was the most relaxing week we have all had in a long time. We actually are planning another trip to the beach hopefully the beginning of October. So now that we are back we get to start fresh...not only have we begun to have a new idea of how to approach our daily lives, a mantra that is repeated at the beach "NO WORRIES" but now we can start living our lives in the best way possible. There is no mountain too high or no valley to low...we just have to do it and enjoy the road we are on....life is just too short and there is so much I want to do and see. The Teeple family is just so much fun, the energy is contagious and everyone had so much love to go around. You can tell they all really care so deeply about each other. It was a privilege to be a part of the vacation and be around such great people.

Maddox is still at the beach with the Grandparents and will be back tomorrow afternoon...Randy has left to his Fantasy Football draft with one of his good friends from Florida...and Mom and Wes don't get back until tomorrow. So today is one of those days I can spend cleaning (not only the house) but my paperwork, my diet, and get started back on my running. A day just to refresh everything....of course I miss everyone....but I only have to wait one more day.

Here are some pictures of our trip!!

Our family trip bowling

We decided that a little friendly competition would be fun between all of us one night...and we all thought that we would play for bragging rights and a crazy looking donkey doll. Randy and Mom were leading all of us through each of the 3 rounds that we played. Guess who pulled it out and won...of course it was Randy! We'll get the donkey back Randy...next time....oh yes.....next time. HAHA!
