I am so excited

I am getting my first real, true mommy break! I haven't had any REAL time to myself since Emmy was born. I am going to Florida BY MYSELF and meeting my parents there to do something I've wanted to do since 5th grade - watch the Space Shuttle launch! Ever since I went to space camp when I was 10, I've loved all things Space related. I even took an astronomy class in college as one of my electives. I've watched almost every launch online and read lots of space books and websited. I am soooo excited! The best part about the trip is that I will get an entire day to myself once I get there because my parents won't be there until that night. So I rented a car so I won't be confined to the hotel until they get there. I treated myself to a convertible! I will be able to cruise the coast as much as I want, go shopping, sit on the beach, anything! I'll be posting lots of pics once I get back of course :) Yay!

Hard to believe

that my baby boy will be a year old exactly one month from today! This year has absolutely FLOWN by. He has done so much more than we expected initially. He is such a little miracle!

It's almost St. Patty's Day...

So I thought I would share with you my favorite Irish Blessing (Yep, I'm Irish) :D

"May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

May the rains fall soft upon your fields,

and until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand."
