Happy Blogiversary to me!!!

Can you believe that three years ago today I did my first blog?!?!?

I look back at where I was in my life then and it's hard to believe how much has changed in a matter of three years.

Back then I only had one child to care for, a husband who was home at night and I thought my life was chaotic. "Oh, Beth of three years ago, you are so funny. You are very naive, child. Sweety, you need to get a grip and brace yourself." Funny thing is...I will probably be saying the same thing in three years about my life today. God, I hope not...but just in case. **knock on wood**

The last three years brought....
1) Miss Lauren
2) Miss Ella
3) A burn accident
4) A flood
5) A very long RV road trip
6) A disasterous swing set construction
7) A basement remodel
8) Five trips to the emergency room
9) A new niece/cousin
10) A camper

My predictions for the next three years....

1) Dustin will obtain a full-time driver spot at UPS (Are those angels singing?)
2) I will pass the CPA exam
3) Josh will have finally lost his front tooth ;-)
4) Josh will be loving fourth grade
5) Lauren will be loving Kindergarten
6) Ella will be loving Preschool
7) Everyone in the house will be out of diapers (Woot! Woot!)
8) My weekly daycare bill will be under $300 (Triple Woot! Woot!)
9) The basement remodel will finally be finished
10) We will take a major family vacation

It's been a great three years - so many memories, photos, funny stories and special moments. To my readers: thanks for sharing in our lives the last few years. If we've brought you some smiles, some tears and some laughs...then it's all been worth it.

To my kids (a/k/a the best three kids in the universe): I may not be the type of mom who has time for dozens of photo albums for you to treasure for years to come, but this is the closest thing you'll get. ;-) Your mom tries her hardest to give you everything you need and all she asks for in return is a kiss and a smile from you.
