Pictures, Painting, and Thoughts.

1. This has been a super busy, but fun weekend and start of the week. Ben and I went on the most fancy date we've ever been on (which was amazing),  we got to dance live to our wedding song, I had my first night away from Liam, we went to the Encampment with Liam dressed as a buffalo Indian, and I took fall pictures of Liam.

2. I just love our family pumpkins this year!

3. I am really glad that I decided to not use technology while Liam is awake. I am not perfect, and I miss it lol, but I have been doing pretty good and got to have so much more quality time with Liam the past week.

4. I am reading a book called "Nurture" by. Lisa Bevere and it is changing my life! It is so good and I highly recommend all Christian women read it.

5. I LOVE to write, anyone who knows me knows this, and I NEVER get to write personal stuff anymore and I miss it. I have come to terms with the fact that writing can happen anytime, and today with Liam is more important, because before I know it he will be grown and out on his own; however, I still miss writing. That is my confession. I hope to get a little extra time soon though, because I have some great things going around in my brain to write about, and I have some stuff I really want to write for Liam too! I have to remember that everything will be much easier when I am DONE with school which consumes my life.

6. I LOVE taking pictures. I may not be a professional and I don't have any recollection with God that I am suppose to be any time soon (very possibly later in life though), but for now it is my hobby and I have so much joy when I am behind my Nikon. I recently did some pictures for my bestie as a birthday present  to her and I am so thrilled with the final products. Here are a few:

Changes

I've been so busy, school is so hard this semester, I don't know what me time is anymore blah, blah, blah. Ok now lets get to what I want to say tonight. I have really been trying to evaluate myself the past month and I have figured some things out and still have an open heart and mind to learn more. One thing that Ben and I have been realizing lately, is you HAVE to communicate and do it well to have a good relationship. Also, no one likes to argue, but if it's what you have to do to get through some stuff then do it, but correct the problems so arguments don't keep having to happen.

Another thing is that you have to date even when your married and especially after you have kids. Yes, it is much harder to date once your become parents, but make it work. It sucks to spend and extra $20-50 on a babysitter (usually more then the total cost of your date), and it's really hard to find one when you live 2 hours away from family and know virtually anyone where you live anymore, but still make it work.

We haven't been doing this, but things are changing in this Comer household. Ben surprised me yesterday by telling me that he is gonna take me to a Rascal Flatts concert on Friday and out to eat at a restaurant with valet parking and reservations (the restaurant is a surprise location though). I am so stoked. He made plans for Little Liam to spend the night with my parents and everything. I am sad because it will be my first night away from Liam since he was born, but we NEED this date.

Today has been such a good day knowing I have a date this weekend. I have went out and bought the perfect outfit, and had my eyebrows done and I am just glowing with excitement. It's the little things in life that matter the most.

Another thing that I have learned is that reading my Bible and having God in my life is not just something to put on my to-do list.... it is a necessity for living. I love to read and rarely do anymore unless it is for school, but how dare me ever read a book if I haven't read my Bible that day. Also, it's ok to do it during Liam and Mommy time, because he needs to hear the Word too!

The last major thing I have learned is that it is to easy to get wrapped up in social media and email and blog reading and avoid your family. I am going to do my very best to start only using social media when Liam is asleep! When he is awake and we are together it is our time and I have no business focusing on anything other then him and being the BEST mom I can be to him.

One last thing is I made the decision to commit to getting a mentor on Sunday to help me and mentor me during my walk with God. I still have to call her tomorrow to set up our phone chats and stuff, but I am excited for this next step in my life.

P.S. I did not know Lane Wolfe, but my heart aches for his family and friends tonight  Let's have a moment of silence for then and keep them in our prayers!

Farms, Special Lunch Sundays, and Book Fairs.

Once again I am playing super mommy this week. Already today I have observed in a middle school, went to an eye exam, volunteered at Liam's daycare's bookfair, had dinner, read books, and am fixing to start on my homework after Liam goes to bed in a bit. I will be observing two more times this week and volunteering at the book fair one more time so I am swamped, but I love every second of it (except the homework part lol).
Yesterday was a blast and has made today really hard to get back into the swing of things. We went to the Riverview Mounds Century Farm in Clarksville, TN and it was a blast. We kind of felt like we were cheating on the Travis farm, but really we just played here and got only one big pumpkin and a few small ones... were saving the good stuff for the Travis Farm in Metropolis, IL.
Anyway, there were so many fun things to do like a petting zoo, slide, tot play area, barrel ride, hayride, tire jungle, and pony rides just to name a few things. Liam had a blast and honestly Ben and I did too! It was a great time. Here are some super cute pictures:

 Petting the goats.

 Running around... he is the CUTEST!

 Feeding the goats.

 Farm Family!

 Mommy and Son!

 Tractor time!

He was so concerned with what the driver was doing lol and of course steering the whole time. 

For on the way to the farm I made Ben and Liam an extra special lunch:

It may not be perfect, but I don't think it's terrible. I used bread for phenias' face and a marshmallow cut in half for the eyes with raisins in the centers. I used a piece of marshmallow for the mouth and three reeses chips. Then I used pieces of cheese for his shirt and carrots cut in half for the hair. For Perry I used a blue fruit roll up for the body, pieces of marshmallows with raisins in the middle for the eyes, and cheese for the beak. I filled with grapes and oranges! They LOVED it. I want to make Sundays "cute lunch" days so lets hope I keep it up! 

Last picture is of the books bubs got tonight at the book fair:

He choose Silent Night and Apples A to Z. We already read them and are very happy with the decisions he made : ) Yay for a new fall book ! (and a Christmas one haha).
