Catching up

I was writing in my the journal that I am keeping for Brooke last night, and I started thinking about the crazy things I remember doing when I was a kid. I remember trying to figure out how to make the trampoline more fun, by smearing peanut butter on it... I recall that I wanted to "jump and slide" at the same time haha. Thinking about this one incident makes me wonder what kind of trouble Brooke will get herself into, and how I will handle it when things happen.
Eli and I are starting a Bible study soon, and we are really excited about it. We have been wanting to get into a study, but just never did because of work schedules and such. This one will work out really well for us though, and I can't wait to start digging in to God's word. I want to raise our daughter in the way that God wants us to, and the more we know about Him, the more we can teach her about Him. I pray that He gives us all the tools and wisdom we need to raise her through Him.
She is getting so big! She has hit the 11 lb mark, and she has really filled out since birth. She is smiling so much now, and she has started to squeal when she's excited. I bought some of the Bumgenius diapers today, and I am excited to try them out, and hopefully save some money on disposables. Me being back to work still means we are broke :(. I never thought I wouldn't like being at work, but now that it means being away from her, I hate being at work. I've never wanted to be a stay at home mom so bad. She is such a sweet gift from God!
My brother was married a few weeks ago, in Hawaii. I was disappointed that none of us could be there, but thats how they wanted things. He and I have always been very different, and I can't imagine my family not being at my wedding :(
On another note, reading other's blogs inspires me to start keeping up with this blog, and also to find something in my life that I need to give up. I think in my case, its going to have to be sweets (unless they are sugare free/fat free). I have gained weight since having Brooke, and I need to lose it! We have family pictures coming up soon, so hopefully I can lose some before then. I have such a terrible sweet tooth!
I am also starting to read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, I got it in the mail today. Other than that I think thats it in my exciting little life!
