september's here!!

oh my gosh!! it's september!! i have been sooooo slack on blogging lately! being a mommy takes up so much time---and it is so worth it..although my poor baby's having an episode today. he was up all night just crying and crying. i felt so bad for him! hopefully he'll start feeling better soon. i still can't believe he is 7 MONTHS OLD!! gosh..it seems like just yesterday i was getting ready to go to the hospital to have him. now i must admit, i do NOT miss the very beginning, waking up 53,000 times a nite, but it has gotten a whole lot better since then. now judah sleeps through the night (he just learned how to stand last month, so he gets distracted trying to go to sleep..he has to wear himself out before he can finally go to bed). he's "walking" around..holding on to the couch and coffee table. he's starting to say "baba" and all kinds of other things that make no sense..it's so cute! and he is VERY into food! i will take a bite of my food, and judah will squeal, like "where's mine??"..going to restaurants is quite a task also because he gets very vocal and we are those parents that all the people are looking at, thinking "i wish those people would shut their kid up!!"..but it's all part of the process..and can you believe i have actually had people ask when we're going to have another one???? NOT ANY TIME SOON I HOPE!! judah at least needs to be 2 or 3..i want to enjoy each and every little moment with my man that i can before another one comes along.. :)

as far as the church is going, we had 400 people last week..it was an awesome service!! i can hardly wait to see what happens!! allen's busy with planning everything for the missions department and outreach..all while doing his 8-5 job..he stays busy at the office at night too, so he hardly gets a chance to breathe!! we are hoping to be able to go visit our families in SC sometime soon. we miss them!! but it will be nice to visit anyway. i don't think we'll be able to come home for either thanksgiving or christmas b/c of the way allen's work on-call schedule is, but we'll go sometime in between.

..and school..it's the same old thing, but it's good. being at a large university is something out of the element for me, but i'm enjoying it. i have pretty good professors..still haven't met any people. i'm such an introvert..but i'm hoping i can make some friends!! i walk to and from school (kind of..). i take judah to daycare in the morning and then walk from the daycare to the university..it takes 30 minutes or so, but if i were to park in the student parking, it would take a good 45 minutes, so i just go for the lesser of two evils...i am getting some killer calves though!! :)

i will update soon again, i PROMISE!!
