<br />
Squandering<br />
<br />
I'm afraid I'll squander the extra money my business brings in.<br />
I'm afraid I'll squander the precious time I have with my littles.<br />
I'm afraid I'll squander my free time,<br />
my work time, <br />
my sleep time.<br />
<br />
This fear of taking everything for granted or from putting my focus in the wrong place and missing the right place basically boils down to guilt.<br />
<br />
Guilt, just like fear, is a thief.<br />
<br />
Guilt, just like fear, has to be battled with truth.<br />
<br />
This morning I was really feeling the pressure to not squander, to not take for granted. The "pressure" quickly turned to fear and guilt and I needed some truth.<br />
<br />
So I looked in the dictionary. I knew what squander means, but that's very different than being able to define it.<br />
<br />
Some what does squander mean?<br />
<br />
1) To spend wastefully or extravagantly; to dissipate<br />
2) To fail to take advantage of; lose a chance for<br />
3) To scatter<br />
<br />
Here's the truth: the first two definitions require a decision. They are done <i>on purpose.</i><br />
<br />
1) "I am going to Spend. It. All."<br />
2) "I am not going to try that." "I have decided not to do that."<br />
<br />
But then there is the third definition.<br />
<i>To scatter. </i><br />
I know this is an action too, but it makes me think of knocking over a cup of Cheerios and watching them scatter across the kitchen floor. To me, scattering feels less on purpose and more accidental. And more scary. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Making a decision to spend it all or miss it all would never happen accidentally....but scattering?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How do you keep from scattering your life? The same way you keep from scattering the Cheerios.<br />
<br />
1) Watch for the cup and be careful around it.<br />
If you tend to squander in one area or another, just be aware and be purposeful. Set a budget. Keep a to do list near by and put everything on it: work things, play things, free time. I even put "shower" on my to do list.<br />
<br />
2) Put a lid on it if you don't need Cheerios right now.<br />
If Facebook or your phone distracts you during play time, turn if off. Put it away. But, if you need some time alone to read or write a blog post or even to just surf your Facebook feed, do it on purpose and don't feel guilty that you aren't folding laundry.<br />
<br />
3) Keep your Cheerios out of the reach of anyone who might be carless with them.<br />
Be careful you don't compare your life to the life you see others living. Especially the life you see them living online. It's ok to hide someone from your Facebook feed or to stop reading a popular blog because her beautiful life makes you sad instead of thankful. Don't other people scatter your Cheerios.<br />
<br />
What about you? Are you afraid you're squandering your life away? How can you guard your Cheerios?<br />
<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">I love <a href="http://thecourtneykerr.com/" target="_blank">Courtney Kerr</a>.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She’s a reality star from the Bravo
channel whose life I've</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> been following for a few years. (By “life” I mean I've</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> been watching her on TV and pretending we’re friends.)</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">She is a funny girl, Texas to the core and a full time
fashion blogger. Her style is current, relatable and appropriate. (She went off
on a rant one time about the wrongness of wearing stilettos with a bikini that
made me stand up and clap in my living room.) </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">A few months ago, I heard Courtney talking about how she was
able to attend fashion shows now that she is a full time write.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">I’m a full time writer, too! (Well, I’m a full time diaper
changer, but I write a lot.)</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">I want to go to a fashion show! </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">I am lucky enough to live just outside of a city that hosts
an amazing fashion week. <a href="http://charlestonfashionweek.com/" target="_blank">Charleston Fashion Week</a> has been growing in size and notoriety as well as gaining the
respect of the industry. In years past, I had watched in awe as the big tents
were set up in Marion Square and gazed longingly at the glossy pictures that
would appear around town after the big week. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">As I thought about the possibility of actually attending a
real fashion show, I was filled with courage and before it could fade, I
applied for media passes to the <a href="http://charlestonfashionweek.com/bridal" target="_blank">Bridal Show</a>. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">A few weeks later I received an email approving me for media
passes. I was thrilled. Overjoy. Ecstatic.
And freaking out. What do you wear to a
fashion show? More specifically, what does a mom of two littles, who is just at
the beginning of her <a href="http://www.abbieunger.com/2014/03/losing-weight-asking-for-help-and-other.html" target="_blank">weight loss journey </a>and barely out of maternity pant wear
to a fashion show? </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Courtney was my only hope. I <a href="https://twitter.com/abbieunger" target="_blank">tweeted</a> her and she responded. (See
we are friends.)</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Did you know anyone can go to Charleston Fashion Week? </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">They sell tickets to civilians. Attending the event as a member of the media
was an honor and amazing, but if you are at all interested in this kind of
stuff, buy a ticket and go. I think this
would make an awesome girls night or morning out. You can dress up and sip a Mimosa
while you gawk and judge the latest fashions.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"> The light bulbs flash and the crowd ooos and ahhhs and it is simply

<i><span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I started my <a href="http://www.abbieunger.com/2014/03/losing-weight-asking-for-help-and-other.html" target="_blank">challenge</a> about 10 days ago!!!!</span></i><span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Okay, so I know ten days is not a long time and ten days is only the beginning of
a journey that will take months, but I am still going to proudly say:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">"I've been sticking to the plan for
10 days!"</span></i><span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Have I been perfect? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">No.<br />
Have I done as well as I could have, as well as others have done or as well as
you would do?<br />
Probably not.<br />
But that's okay because today I'm farther down the road than I was ten days
ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
Y’all know I love to travel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
love the trip just as much as I love the destination. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
believe getting there can be fun, but only if you have a plan, a backup plan
and a back up, backup plan. (If you've ever flown standby, you know what I
mean.) And you <i>must</i> lower your
expectations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>Setting your expectations too high can
leave you with a disappointment that lasts even after you've safely reached
your destination.</b> The high standards you place on yourself or those around
you, steal the sweetness from the taste of victory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
My journey is one towards health and happiness. Traveling is better when you are
not on the journey alone. If your travel
companion has traveled the path before, even better. My coach, <a href="http://rebekahbainfitness.com/" target="_blank">Rebekah</a> has been
down this road before and because of that, I can trust her and focus on doing
the things I need to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I'm
trying to take the lessons I've learned from my years as a flight attendant and
apply them to this <a href="http://www.beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/rebekahbain" target="_blank">BeachBody</a> journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
I have a plan and a backup plan.<br />
I know where I want to go and what I need to do to get there,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">but I also know that some things are out if my
control.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">It
boils down to direction. If you are headed in the right direction, you will
eventually reach your destination. The length of the journey is determined by
how well you pay attention, how well you follow instructions and how many
storms you are forced to weather along the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
I'm enjoying the trip and happy to be ten days closer to my destination.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<i><span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Today I am starting out on a journey. A weight loss journey. </span></span></i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">There I wrote it and
publicly published it on the internet. The forever and ever internet. This is a
scary thing for me to write and share.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">It is scary for so many
reasons, but the number one reason I am afraid to tell y’all about all of this:</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I do not want to be that girl.</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">That girl who is always
talking about how much she weighs, how fat she looks, how big she feels.
I do not want to be someone who is constantly focused on what she has or has
not eaten. What size she does or does not wear. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">As a teenager and a
young adult, I spent a lot of time watching and listening to ladies who were
constantly critiquing their food choices and their dress sizes. To say they had
body issues would be an understatement. Unfortunately, they rubbed off on me a
little and between that and a turbulent, up and down, teenage relationship, I
ended up with some pretty unhealthy habits concerning food (read: eating
disorder.)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I got some help and got
healthy. I know it was a literal act of God and I was set free from all
the dangerous food bondage I had been living with.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I GOT FREE AND I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK!</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I remember the first
time I realized I was free. I was about 25 and I was making my bed when it just
hit me: “Food didn't control me anymore!”
I didn't obsess about it anymore. I didn't judge
myself based on it anymore. I tried to make good choices, but for the
most part, I ate what looked good. And I was just about at my goal weight. I
was happy with my size and I got there without even thinking about food.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> It the time, I was
a flight attendant and I ate a lot of really yummy hotel cheeseburgers, not a
lot of fast food and I drank a lot of water. My job was very physical. I pushed
a 300 lb beverage cart up and down a hill several times a day and I walked a
ton. I was happy and living a fun life with very little stress.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now I find myself with a
2 ½ year old and a 1 year old. My body has been through a lot and done
some pretty amazing things. From conception until weaning, mothering is largely
physical in the sense that my body literally loves, sustains, nourishes and
mothers my children. After 31 months of continuously breastfeeding, I am almost
at the end of the <i>physical</i> phase of mothering. (I am
letting Emily Grace self-wean, but she is less and less interested in nursing
every day.)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I came to terms with the
fact that it is time I take back control of my body, but I found myself
completely lost, confused and overwhelmed at the thought of losing
weight. But I remembered I have a friend who is a <a href="http://www.beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/rebekahbain?bctid=3238178954001" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Beach Body coach</span></a> and
is really good at this stuff. It took me almost a week to reach out
and ask for help. I sent her a message on Facebook and quickly shut
the computer. To be honest, it took a lot of courage for me to ask for
help, but I am so glad I did. We got together over the internet and I found the
two things I was looking for: <i>hope and
wisdom</i>.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><a href="http://rebekahbainfitness.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Rebekah</span></a> is
a military wife, breastfeeding mama with four children and heart that chases
after the Lord. She knows what is truly important in life. I opened up and
shared my fears with her and she was so gracious. We also talked about my
goals. My goals are not to lose X amount of weight or be able to run or lift or
squat. My goals are to breastfeed until the baby self-weans and keep a healthy
relationship with food as I lose weight. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She recommended I read
the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003U4UTBI/ref=as_li_ss_sm_fb_us_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=213733&creative=399837&creativeASIN=B003U4UTBI&linkCode=shr&tag=theenvkee-20&=digital-text&qid=1394675363&sr=1-1&keywords=Made+to+crave" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Made to Crave</span></a> and we
talked about a few of the programs that Beach Body offers that would be good
for me and I decided on <a href="https://www.teambeachbody.com/checkout/-/bbcheckout/challengepack?referringRepId=103871" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Shaun T’s Rockin’ Body and Hip Hop Abs</span></a>. I
picked this program solely based on the fact that it looked fun. If
exercise is suppose to be “me” time then it better be “fun” time. <i> </i>I
haven’t received my challenge pack yet. It should be here this week
and I’m excited about getting started. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rebekah was right, it is exactly what I needed to show me the way to control
what I eat without letting what I eat control me.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">But that is only done ON PURPOSE so the timing of this month’s Tommy Nelson book review is nothing short of divine. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

About two years ago, I caught wind of the good thing <a href="http://www.soma.com/store/page.jsp?id=56709275&icid=SH-Charity" target="_blank">Soma Intimates</a> was
doing with donated bras. (<a href="http://www.abbieunger.com/2012/02/warning-this-post-contains-donated.html" target="_blank">read about it here</a>) Twice a year,
Soma collects bras and donates them to the <a href="http://nnedv.org/" target="_blank">National Network to End DomesticViolence</a>. NNEVD will get those bras to shelters where they are gifted to women.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I can’t imagine living without a bra.
I don’t answer the door without a bra. I don’t run out to the car
without a bra. If I was ever in a position where I was in public without a bra,
I can’t even imagine how humiliated I would feel. How ugly and I offensive my body would look
in our society. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: black;">A few weeks ago we went to Jason’s work Christmas party.<span> </span>I’ll be the first to say it: I don’t get out
much. I get to hang out with adults even less often. And even though Jason
could make it through the holiday season without the party, I wait for it all
year.</span></span></span></div>

fun.<span> </span>Lots of fun. The Christmas party
does not disappoint.<span> </span>It’s loud and
crazy.<span> </span>They give away door prizes all
night and the DJ keeps everyone dancing.</span></span></span></div>

Charleston.<span> </span>The thing about living just
outside of town is late night events pose a babysitting dilemma.<span> </span>We live too far out for my mom to come and
stay with the kids and then drive home, and for us to get them up at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_63157687" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">2 am</span></span> and
drive out to Edisto isn’t a good plan either. </span></span></span></div>

rate and booked a night at Aloft Hotel.<span> </span>Jason
had to work late, so I dropped the kids off at my mom’s and went to the hotel.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">About a week and a half ago, Jason had a meeting in Dallas,
Texas and Ty, Emily Grace and I got to tag along. The only catch was, Jason had to
work a shift and then fly to Dallas, which had him arriving 10pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Way too late for our good little sleepers.
But I really, really wanted to go on a trip and stay at a hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t going to let a little thing like
flying with a two year old and a seven month old keep me from that free hotel
breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I volunteered to travel alone
with the kids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have flown alone with Emily Grace and Jason and I have
flown together with toddler Ty, but alone?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know
Jason thought I was crazy, but we’ve been married long enough that he doesn’t
doubt my ability to do just about anything. It didn’t take me long to convince
him that we could do it and the preparations began.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of my dreams is to write a travel guide for flying with
children and I figured this would be a great opportunity to get some good material.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And really, how convincing could I be if I
never actually traveled alone with children. I mean, even it was a total
failure, at least I would have some good content for my blog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When travel day finally came, my mom dropped me, Ty, Emily
Grace, two car seats, a double stroller and a backpack off at the Charleston Airport.
Jason was able to come to the curb to meet us, but as soon as we got our passes,
he had to run back downstairs for a meeting and I was alone. Me, Ty, Emily Grace,
two car seats, a double stroller and a back pack cleared security with no
problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was mentally prepared to be
fumbling and chasing a toddler while holding a baby, but it went really
smoothly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew what I could carry
through the checkpoint (<a href="http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/traveling-children" target="_blank">click here for TSA.gov</a>) I wore easy to slip on shoes and I put Emily
Grace in the front pack while we were waiting in line so I would have my hands
free. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once we were through the check point and put back together
the lady who had gone through behind us told me, “You did a lot better than I
thought you would back there.” I took it as a compliment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The rest of the day went ok. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we landed in Houston I had the worst
headache of my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to just
sit in a dark corner and cry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My hands
were shaking and I was having trouble concentrating or thinking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I bought some medicine as soon as we got off
the plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time we boarded our next
flight, I was feeling a little better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">All things considered, it was a great trip and flying with
children shouldn't be something you are afraid of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you are planning to fly with children soon I have one thing to say to
you:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You can do it!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On a practical note, here’s a few tips I picked upped during
the adventure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">1)</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Pack everything you need, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had baby Motrin, back up apple juice, spare
clothes and food for the children, but not for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wish I could have taken a couple Tylenol at
the first sign of a headache.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would
have changed my experience dramatically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">2)</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lower your expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will take longer to clear security, board
the plane, claim your luggage, grab lunch and transfer from gate to gate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s ok.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s not a race (which is great news, because you would totally loose.)
Give yourself more time than you need. Give yourself and your precious children
an extra dose of grace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">3)</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Give yourself plenty of time between flights. A
close connection to shorten your overall travel time is a bad idea. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The computer will let you buy a ticket with as
little as thirty minutes between connecting flights. You need at least an hour
and a half. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adding an hour or two to the
trip to prevent a cross airport sprint is a fair trade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And what if you miss your connection completely?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you really want to get stuck in Chicago all
day waiting for a flight that can accommodate all y’all? I don’t!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
always thought dreamers were mystical thinkers with thoughts and ideas flowing
from their brain in a stream of consciousness that could only be understood by
another dreamer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I

am none of these things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I follow rules
and it really bugs me when others don’t. My thoughts are usually balanced and analytical.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t wear a lot of flowing clothing
and I keep my hair pulled back in a neat ponytail. I didn't consider myself a dreamer. </span></div>

</span>By spending time with people who were encouraging and supportive, the
title of “dreamer” lost its ugly stigma and I have been able to think of myself
as a dreamer. </span></div>

they need to be protected and cultivated before they can face the big, bad
world and survive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been dreaming
for years, but my dreams couldn’t begin to come true until I found a place I

Hate It?For me snow is like an old friend. The kind of old friend that I don't get to see very often, but have some really nice memories of times spent together. I see pictures of freshly fallen snow and think to myself, "We should get together sometime."<br />
Then we we do have a chance to see each other, I quickly realize why we aren't close friends. I can only take snow small doses. This is why I like ski resorts. You get the view and the ambiance of a snowy vacation without having to do the dirty work involved with snow (shoveling, driving, salting sidewalks, warming up a cold car.) <br />
One of the best ski resorts in the country is Beaver Creek and the people from Creekside at Beaver Creek asked me to share with y'all a really cool discount promotion their running for this upcoming ski season.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">All
the greatness of a cruise paired with all the history and excitement of a
European holiday. As I was researching this amazing bit of vacation genius I
was overwhelmed with reasons why I would love to take one of these vacations. I
was sold when I saw the words European River and Cruise together in the title,
but Jason doesn’t always see the big picture right away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He sometimes takes a little persuading but he
always comes around.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">So
dear husband, here are the top five reasons we <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">have</i> to go on a River Cruise with Scenic Cruises:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> 1)
Lots to See.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My bucket list is full of destinations I'm
dying to visit. A river cruise would give me the opportunity to tour,
experience and fall in love with several cities. But only unpack once. One of
my favorite things about cruising is you plan one vacation, but you get to
visit several places.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s like one stop
shopping for all your vacation needs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> 2)
It’s All Included.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">We
are budgeters around here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This doesn’t
mean we don’t spend money or enjoy life, but we do these things on purpose and
with a plan. The fact that everything is included on a river cruise is
fantastic for budgeters. No need to budget for the trip, the food, the
entertainment, the taxes and the transportation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s all included!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From local food and wine with a fridge in
every room that’s stocked daily to airport transfers and excursions, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">it’s all included.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> 3)
Size Matters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I’m
pretty comfortable in small spaces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
you’ve tried to put on a pair of pantyhose in an airplane lavatory, the term
“small” becomes relative. That being said, Scenic Cruises operates the largest
ships in the industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(They even call
them “space-ship!”) Even though they are bigger they hold fewer passengers.
This way everyone has plenty of breathing room.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> 4)
A Really Cool GPS Thing</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Scenic
Cruises are the only ones to provide a Scenic Tailormade device which is programmed
with over 100 sightseeing tours. These little babies will be a vacation saver
for us because I like to explore and Jason is more of an “on the beaten path”
kind of guy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> 5)
You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Mama
and Daddy need to getaway. Alone. By ourselves. Having two babies in less than
two years can do a number on a marriage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are stronger as a team and our partnership is solid, but teamwork
isn’t really that romantic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think we
are ready to rekindle the flame and a river cruise is the place to do it. It
just sounds romantic, doesn’t it? (Maybe we’ll name number three
"Souvenir".) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Still not convinced?

live in coastal South Carolina and even though I can tell when summer leaves

love scented candles. I burn them all year round, but around late September, I

love my Crockpot. So it’s still in the high 80’s during the day but it’s been
dropping down to a practically freezing 67 degrees in the evenings. Cool enough
for comfort food but not cool enough to turn on the oven without cranking down
the AC. I’ve made chicken and rice soup, pot roast and beef stew. Last week I
found a recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot pumpkin butter and I can’t wait to try
out this double shot of autumn. </span><br />

Did you know most beach houses have names?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At least most of the beach houses around here
are named.</div>

Our family beach house bears the name <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pause a While. </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a play
on words explained by the huge, orange Tiger paw painted between the
words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My Granddaddy went to Clemson and
although there may be a few Gamecocks in the family now, the beach house continues
to bleed orange.</div>

Now that we are living in our own beach house (condo), I
figured it needed a name, so I did a little market research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Facebook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I got a lot of fun suggestions but two really stood out. Terri Stuckey
suggested… <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Unger the Boardwalk</i>. I
laugh out loud every time. I feel like this could be the name of Snookie’s new
shore house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

My other favorite was submitted by Ben Jordan. Yep, that Ben.
From <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Did You Hear About the Dog who Saved

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what do we do if we have another baby? </div>

So let me know what you think we should name our beach
house? </div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Living
at Edisto is a dream come true for Jason and me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The funny thing about dreams is, no two are
the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your dream could be to live in
a far off country or it could be a job or maybe you’re dreaming of a
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone’s dreams are different.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A
few days after we decided we were going to go for broke and move out here, I
was spending time with the Lord and just gushing about how I couldn’t believe
this dream was going to become a reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was going on and on about how much I had always wanted to move to
Edisto, and I never thought it would happen so soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I told Him how perfect the condo layout was
for our family and how happy I was to have all three bedrooms close together. I
was almost unable to express my joy about the whole situation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“You
know I’m the Giver of dreams, not just the Grantor, right?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
question was suddenly on my spirit and it stopped me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There I was telling the all knowing, Creator of
the universe about my hidden dreams as if they had been hidden from Him. He is
the one that gives me the dreams when I am dreaming about them and He is the
one who grants the dreams when they become reality.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s
not that God didn’t want to hear me go on and on about how happy I was and how
amazing this opportunity is, but He wanted to reassure me that all the dreams I’m
still holding close and keeping hidden are gifts from Him, too. All my dreams
are God given but the timing’s up to Him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.</span><span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></div>
