FYI

Just in case you didn't know...here is a little background:

I am an only child, but don't let that throw you off ;)

I grew up in an extremely small town in which most of my extended family also lived.  Basically, we made up the population.  You could say that I have lived a pretty sheltered life.  I am VERY family oriented.



   
I became a Christian when I was 10, but didn't really understand what it meant to live for Christ until I was in college.  I was very judgmental in my younger years.  It took me failing to realize that everyone fails and everyone needs picking up.  Who am I to judge?  Who am I to not forgive, when I have been forgiven of so much?  Brandon Heath put my daily prayer into a wonderful song not too long ago:

"Give me your eyes for just one second. Give me your eyes so I can see everything that I keep missing. Give me your love for humanity. Give me your arms for the broken hearted, ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me your heart for the ones forgotten. Give me your eyes so I can see."

You could say that I'm a bit of a dork.  I graduated the top of my class...all 16 of them :) and, went on to graduate from college with a double major in Biology and Health Sciences.  Oh, and a minor in Psychology.  Glutton for punishment??  Debatable.  Funny thing is that when I started college, I declined the Honors program because it meant that you HAD to minor in something.




I married my best friend in September of 2007.  Toby is pretty much the funniest, sweetest, wittiest, best looking, most hard-working man you can find.  I have been blessed to call him husband.





August of 2008, I began Physical Therapy (PT) school.  I honestly love it, and am starting to get a little nervous about NOT being in school.  I graduate next August, and I'm wondering what I will do with myself when I am no longer a student.  I guess I'll finally make some money :)

I had just started PT school when we found out that Kylie Maye was on the way.  So, that made for an interesting first year of grad school.  Imagine taking finals on a Friday being 9 months pregnant, and then giving birth to your sweet baby girl Saturday.  That's how it shook down, and May of 2009 we held our little Kyliebug for the first time.




So, now it's a year later.  Still wonderfully married, still loving being a mom, still enjoying school, and still happy as can be ...

Weird how time slips away, isn't it?  Suddenly you turn around and it's eleven years later.  Things never stay the same.  That's something my Daddy has always told me.  I never really understood that until one Wednesday afternoon when I was in 9th grade.   Pardon me if this post is choppy, but it's something that I can't recall without reliving it.  I am already crying. I remember everything so vividly.  It was just a normal day - just a normal day.  Gosh, I wish it would've just been a normal day.  We went to and from class all morning.  We were all so innocent.  Smiling, laughing.  Having a great time.  Lunch came and went.  Fifth period started.  I, personally, was sitting in Mrs. Dardenne's room wondering where the heck she was because believe me, something had to be wrong for Mrs. Dardenne to be late to class.  I'm sure many of my peers were also wondering why there was suddenly a feeling of something...

Sunny Day! Sweeping the Clouds Away!

With the snow melting and the sun shining bright, I am reminiscing on a couple of Saturday's past.  Two weeks ago we were celebrating the random mid-70 degree weather by heading to Petit Jean Mountain.  It was a pretty spectacular little trip. We left later than expected, so I chose to drive since I drive a little faster than Toby ;).  Kylie was busting with excitement because I told her about the awesome waterfall that she'd get to see for the first time.  She couldn't wait to get there! We got off on the Morrilton exit and I started to turn to the right.  Toby insisted that we turn left, but I was almost positive that Petit Jean was to the right.  After all, I had done a Home Health clinical just a few months before.  We had driven all over this area - surely I knew where I was going.  So, I talked him into turning to the right.  We drove, and we drove.  We drove for almost 25 minutes.  I kept saying - "Oh, there it is! ...

Has it really been almost 4 months?!

I honestly can't believe how time has flown by.  So many things have happened since I last posted! Kylie has turned 3 and now has a sweet baby sister who is 8 weeks old already.  And, let me tell you - Gracie is such a happy child.  I love her sweet smile in the mornings when I sing to her.  It melts my heart!   "I'm TEE!" My beautiful little Gracie.      Having fun with GranJan at her birthday party!  My sweet best friends, Casey and Shelly! My little artist.  She LOVES painting! Sweet little face. My very first nephew, Joseph Ryan Bullock, finally made his appearance 17 days late at 7 pounds and 11 ounces.  May 9th couldn't have come quick enough for sweet Ann Claire and Josh.  Now, he's already 10 days old.  Aren't they cute?! Ann Claire - you are beautiful and I'm so proud of you!! Kylie couldn't wait to meet her handsome cousin! Sweet little man...
