I have finally started catching up on Cathy’s Design Your Life class. So
last night I did ten layouts in one night. They are simple but I love
them. Here comes all of them.
Journaling Reads:
Even with a completely busted lip, you always have the best sense of
humor. You smile, you laugh, you don’t let any of it get to you. When
you fell at school, I was really worried, but I didn’t want to show it.
I’m your Mommy and I’m supposed to be strong for both of us. But, the
fact is, you didn’t need it at all. You’re plenty strong for both of us.
Although it’s hard for me to look at these, I thought it was important
for me to preserve this. You’re a little boy and, most likely, you’ll
have many scraped knees and busted lips in your future and if (or
‘when’) those occur, I’ll be able to look and remember your strong spirit.

Just love him so.

This was my favorite thing to do as a child. I love seeing the little
boy have so much fun with it.

Isn’t he so so handsome? I know, I am biased.

While I wasn’t looking David decided to self-potty-train. I am so proud
of him. Bad photos, I know but I like this one of him on the potty, and
then I picked him up from school and he hadn’t napped so a few minutes
after getting home he was snacking and next thing I knew, he was
snoring. My little boy.

David was quite bummed that the polling places didn’t have toys.

You can’t see it but this is David sharing a “treasure” with me. A
small, pink bead.
Apologies for the delay, it took me a while to get all the names down.
My little boy didn’t cooperate so I asked my office-mate to pick the
winner. Apologies for the blurry photo, it’s really overcast here today.
Congrats Georgia, please email me so I can get your details for the class.
Our class starts next week today! If you’re interested, you can sign
up here. I look forward to seeing you there!

We posted catalyst
thirty-four yesterday. It is: Tell us about a song that brings back
a memory. Tell us about the memory too.
Here are my words:
For me, songs are big buckets of memories. I have a long list of songs
where a few melodies can put me in a different location, mood, and
spirit immediately. Of all the songs in my list, one stands out above
and beyond the others. When I was a Junior in college, I started dating
the man who is now my husband. My Junior and Senior year, I spent a lot
of time in he and his roommate’s dorm. My Senior year, we all loved “Son
of a Preacherman” so much that we decided to play it on repeat. This
continued for an entire semester. The CD player was never off. When we
went to sleep, we’d lower the volume and when any of us walked into the
room, we’d say “Oh my God! turn it up! it’s my favorite song!!” This
became our own inside joke. When I think back to my college years, Son
of a Preacherman is one of my very favorite memories. A sign of fun
times and beginnings of a long lasting love.
