Becoming the wife of Mr. Wright and then mommy has brought all things into a whole new light in my life that I truly can't imagine not experiencing. We have a blast as a family! I am so blessed, I'm happy with who I am and I'm working on the things that I consider important - de-cluttering, managing the family and having fun!

are super fun! We, also, love bubble
machines! One time, our neighbors from two streets over saw the bubbles in
their yard and came running to play with us.
I had no idea that bubbles would get that far! It was a fun, fun afternoon! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

So along with the change of weather involving snow on a regular basis, today marks my first ever ice storm! If anyone had ever asked me to share what I would want if an ice storm ever hit, I would say: my family safe, my home with electricity, and no need to get on the road. Thankfully the school is closed so my girls are home safe and sound. My hubby has a doc appointment and then he'll be at work. The electricity is working just fine. And there is no need to get out on the road. The skies today are very bright however the storm that hit during the night truly wrecked havoc on many people in our area. I'm not going to get out on the roads today because now everything is melting and shifting. That just doesn't sound like a good combination for this Southern girl! <br />

We did venture yesterday when it would have made my hubby much happier if we had stayed home. The girls had a birthday party and I just didn't have a bad vibe about it. We did see one vehicle that had spun out on the interstate but we never once felt any slipping and sliding in our van. I felt very thankful! <br />
<br />
And as a very important to my kids side note: Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday! To celebrate we had Green Eggs & Ham! I can't say it was very pretty however it was yummy!! <br />

There have been SO many changes that I'll just have to touch on some along with the present happenings. The big change is that we moved to the North! Yep, this Southern girl is dipping my toesies in the snow instead of the sand! Steve and I continually look at each other and say, "really?! we live here?!" It is not all negative we just aren't used to the new climate...yet! I took a picture of myself after trying to get the snow off my van after about 2 hours of snowfall. Did you know that you have to knock the snow off before you drive away? I thought it would just come off because of the wind but apparently that can be dangerous for those that are behind you. Ugh! Who Knew!?!? So much to learn... Anywho, I spent about 5 minutes in the snow trying to get it off of my van which resulted in a covered head so when I got in I clicked a pic to Facebook my snow covered self. Strangely enough, it turned out a pretty good picture. I have gotten lots of compliments and it still makes me laugh. I'm a blessed girl.... </div>

The only issue I am having with living this far up the East Coast is that I'm just that much further from my Momma. Although, we live closer to an airport now so her trip is only about 5 hours. I just got to enjoy her presence for two full weeks! We enjoyed a girls weekend at the IF:Gathering, went to see the movie Paddington Bear, she was a part of the sledding fun and she did the laundry for my girls and helped me sort them. (My girls (and I) have WAY too many clothes!) We are paring down but it's not an easy task. <br />

We went sledding the Redneck way last week. We used cardboard boxes! It was great fun! We have a super cool hill right across the street from us. <br />
<br />
The girls just celebrated Valentines Day at school. This year we did Super Star Valentines. I attached a bag with star sunglasses to a picture of the each girl and then they signed the back. It was easy peasy. Of course, I found the idea on Pinterest. People can be SO clever!<br />

So, all in all we are doing great! I haven't been the happiest since I got here. I don't think it was a woe is me kind of sadness. There have been A LOT of changes in our last year and a half. I am so grateful for all of my life's adventures. I think I just got overwhelmed! I need to focus more on being joyful and being more of a joy to be around. I haven't found my groove yet but I'm definitely moving in the right direction. We keep saying that we are here for a reason and that God is in charge. Now I just need to make that more of a reality and Believe! Be happy, my friends! </div>

Today's event covered many a celebration amongst friends: one of us is having a baby very soon, another is celebrating 11 years of being super naturally healed of Crohn's Disease, another is officially launching her business with the creation of her website, yet another of us is having a birthday in a couple of weeks AND I am also celebrating that I had people over to my home to enjoy time sitting around, chatting, and eating....my need to be a host is very clear to me....now. This morning was incredible! My home felt good. It was accommodating and comfortable. The timing of everything was good. The food I made and that everyone brought was yummy! We had a great time! <br />

MaryAnn and Jason are having a BOY! He is not named yet but I have to tell you this baby is already so loved! The three of us weren't able to be a part of the shower that was given to them at our church so we figured getting us girls together was important! We chowed on an Egg, Mozzarrella & Spinach bake; Zucchini Muffins; Banana Bread; Maple Ham; Hashbrowns; & a fruit medley with strawberries, blueberries and apple. I was able to use my pretty pitcher with the glasses for water and a couple of us enjoyed some coffee. YUM!!<br />

Didn't they come out oh so cute! The one on the left was my first attempt and I almost goofed! I put the color up instead of down and actually put some of the color on my pillowcase I was using. Oops! I created these by printing out a tie template and then printing out the iron on sheet with the different backgrounds. I cut out the ties and then placed them on top of the backgrounds and cut them out. At the top of the tie I had to round the edge a bit to make them fit the shirt. It was easy, peasy....</div>

That, my friends, is a Tee Pee cover. Like I said, MaryAnn is going to have a boy so she will need "protection" when it comes to changing him. I have girls so this was never a problem for me. Elizabeth has all girls so she had never had one of these either. Just for fun Mary Ann put it on her head. LOL</div>

She tears up, cries, whines, yells, etc every time I even think about brushing her hair. We resorted to putting a braid in her hair every single night to prevent daily issues. You know, Cinderella takes her hair out of braids in the beginning of the movie. And so, if a Princess wears braids to sleep in, then Brooke would, too! This started when she was 3 years old. She's now about to turn 7! I can't believe she will be 7, sigh... Anywho, tonight when we were going through the 'after bath' tears of getting her hair brushed, I asked her if she wanted to get her hair cut. I explained that if there was less of it, then there'd be less tangles, less tears, etc. She said that would be fine but that <b><span style="font-size: large;">I</span></b> had to cut her hair, she didn't want to go to "that place". I'm not sure why there is a fear of the hair salon however home hair cuts are cheaper and if it makes her happy, I am ALL IN! <br />
<div>
When I was a young girl, I remember flipping upside on the monkey bars in my backyard for my mom to cut my hair into layers. We didn't have monkey bars available and so a bar stool would do just fine. </div>

<br />And so here are the results:</div>

Ha! Happy Winter!! It has been a wintry winter for the first time in my adult life. As a child, I know that when I was 4 my family moved to West Memphis, Arkansas and that winter it snowed and we built a snowman. Other than that, I have never built a snowman until....a couple of weeks ago. We are on the Outer Banks and since moving here I've had several of my friends comment that it doesn't snow here. Well, yes it does! Every week since January 14th we have had at least one snow day. Craziness!! The only snowman building kind of snow happened once. We built a snow-chicky. The girls named her Selena. She was the tallest, most awesome-est snow-chic I've ever seen!! My hubby is an amazing snow-chic builder. He said this was the best snow for snow-chic building he had ever seen. He's from Michigan so that's a big deal! We had some help from a couple of neighbors, too. She lasted 4 days!! Some people say that any snowman that lasts more than 3 days is a predictor of more snow to come. And....that happened....more snow...the following week!<br />
How does this Southern feel about snow now that I can officially say I have lived in a snowy climate? I'm good. I'm not crazy about being cold so I dressed the part every time we went outdoors but it really wasn't too bad. I was a smart girl and I didn't drive in it. The roads were quite clear before I ventured out. I got a little nervous when this last snow happened because my honey was across the bridge. I was afraid they would close the bridge and he wouldn't be able to get home. We can see the bridge from our townhouse and the cars were going no more than 5 miles per hour. Very, very slow. Scary slow. Other than that moment I am fairly settled about our new climate. Of course, I took lots of pictures! I hope wherever you are, you are safe and warm! <br />

I like to think that I have a Pollyanna type outlook on things but there are moments in 2013 that were absolutely unbearable. January 17th started it all when I got the call that one of my best friends in college had passed away suddenly. We had the same name, were involved in the same activities and were suite-mates in the dorm. We stayed friends throughout the years. I had just messaged with her on Facebook about an upcoming visit to Mississippi and then...BAM She's gone!! She was only 47! Her personality was vibrant, she was over the top in all that she did. She made you feel loved - she made you laugh - she made you feel special! We even looked a lot alike. People would think we were sisters until they heard we were both named Tammy and just to let you know she was Tammy Lyn and I'm Tammy Lynn. Crazy, huh? This picture was taken of us on our last girls weekend together in Biloxi. We had a blast! Just like it is always said, tell those around you how much you love them because you just never know. It's so true! You ... just ... never ... know!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the summer we moved to the Outer Banks of NC. It was a crazy awful and crazy wonderful move! We have been sick over leaving family and friends...mostly sick over the norm that we had created. Our norm was comfortable but yet we felt we needed to make this change. 14 hours is a long way! We have grown to count our blessings, appreciate our now, thank God for all we have and not what we feel we've lost. We have an amazing view from our rented town home. We had 4 choices for rentals when we moved here. I was perplexed over the first one, the next two made me cry and the 4th was this one and I swear I heard the Hallelujah Chorus start singing when we walked in. :) It had wide stairs....I could finally see how everything would fit. They didn't allow dogs (non of the rentals did) and so our $1000 shelter dog is now staying with my girlfriend and her family. She calls me with foster dog reports. So sweet! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My mom has been irreplaceable with all of her help toward getting our stuff to us and getting our house on the market. Money cannot repay her for all that she has done. We could not have made it this far without her!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a rough start however God has directed us in such a way that we are truly acclimated and feel apart of this community in the short time that we've been here. I have gotten the opportunity to sing several times. I was able to play a couple of games of softball. Steve and I will play together in this next season starting in May! We are a part of an awesome church. This church personifies the meaning behind having a church family. They have already shown their love for us in so many ways. The girls got the best First Grade Teacher and Kindergarten Teacher. The personality of their teachers fit right along with the personality of each of our girls. Such a HUGE blessing! I have gotten the opportunity to substitute teach at a Christian Academy and will be taking the substitute teaching class starting next week so that I can teach for the county in the public school system. We have some of what seems to be lifelong friends in the making! I have 3 besties - one that reminds me of my girl that's listed in the beginning of this post, one that has 4 girls that we have enjoyed numerous playdates with (and a BIG DEAL to me as a momma is that I trust her with my girls and she trusts me with her's) and then my other bestie is the same age as me with a girl in Madi's class and we just clicked. Each of them a huge blessing in mine and my family's lives! </div>

I have been slow to getting stuff done but I am now almost done with putting Christmas away. Part of me what's to beat myself up for taking so long to put it away and the other part of me is just so happy that it's getting done that I can't do anything but feel grateful. For the first time, I actually went through what was in the boxes. I am getting rid of an overflowing bag of Christmas stuff that we no longer need or use. Yea, me! I hope you are having a fantastic beginning to 2014 and I wish you blessings throughout the year!</div>

Life is in constant motion...it's up to us to decide how our journey will go. I don't mean that we have power or control over our journey. What I am saying is that we have control and power over our reaction to how our journey develops. <br />
The everyday moments are what truly help me to look at all the blessings of my life. Just recently, I was putting together rose bouquets for my hubby's work and my girls were helping me. It didn't take long before they started working on some art projects of their own. Ya know, big girl crafts aren't fun sometimes. They took one of the reindeer ornaments, traced it and then created winter wonderland works of art. I love that they can see past the paper, crayon, marker and trace of the reindeer to see a wonderland of possibilities. They love to add lots of color. Taking the time to notice the "moments" is the part of my journey that I enjoy the most!<br />
In our every day life, almost anything can be turned around to be a blessing. For instance, the other day I was volunteering in my daughter's class. It was a rainy day and so umbrellas were needed. I did my hour with the children and then went on to pay the cafeteria some money and then I checked out. It was then that I realized I had forgotten the umbrellas and so back into the school I went to retrieve the umbrellas. Tucked nicely back into my van I realized my phone was not on me. Back into the school I went to find my phone...it was no where to be found. Yikes!! I walked backed out to where my van was at first to retrace my steps. On my way back into the school for the fourth time, there it was under the bench on the concrete. So where are the blessings? 1) I found it 2) The screen didn't crack when it fell 3) It didn't fall into a puddle or get waterlogged. Huge blessings! My cell phone is probably a little too important in my life...LOL<br />
Since moving to NC from FL, from 2,700 square feet to 1,500 square feet I've been in continuous overwhelm with all of my stuff! It makes me lag behind on normal chores when I'm spending so much time trying to find something through this maze we are calling a home right now. My goal of the century, okay really my goal for January is to find a place for everything! I have to! For the love of my family and the need for some simplicity in our schedule so that we can ENJOY more, I absolutely NEED to get some of this stuff out! Please pray for me as I make these very difficult decisions so that I can free myself from the clutter! The clutter in my home, the clutter in my body and the clutter in my mind! 2014 is my year to LOVE IT or LET IT GO!!<br />
Don't forget to look at the little moments that create joy in your journey & live 2014 on purpose! <br />
