Personal Accomplishment

I set a goal three weeks ago from today that I wanted to run three miles. I was going to accomplish this in a period of a month and a half, but the more I ran the stronger the urge was to accomplish this goal as fast and as strong as I could. AND TODAY I DID IT!!!!!!! I feel so good about myself! I have not felt that I have accomplished a goal in a really long time and so reaching this goal earlier than I planned just put a huge confidence boost on who I am, which I feel I have really needed lately.

I think if anyone was in my head while I was running, trying to make myself push longer and harder, they would think I was the craziest person in the world.I seriously sit there (actually run there) and put certain people's voices in my head telling me to "Push it Pearce" so that I don't stop. For some reason I have my 7th grade Track coach MR BENZIE as one of them. Wow he was a mean Cowboy, but he has helped out! Then i have Dan in my head telling me that "Pride lasts forever Lacy!" IT SO DOES BABE! Then I make up some characters, I know crazy, but hey I AM RUNNING THREE MILES! So I don't care who is in my head, as long as I am pushing myself.

Now I am empowered to ROAR like an Independent Woman (yes sometimes I have Destiny's Child in my head as well). YEAH YEAH YEAH! I don't know what is next for me, but I might just take over the world with all this empowerment I have received off of accomplishing this goal. CAN I GET A BOO-YAH?!?!?!?!?!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!

IT FINALLY CAME!!! We bought our tickets months ago, but it was WELL WORTH the wait. All the dances blew me away, and they even made up new ones just for the tour that were AMAZING! Dominic blew me away with his solo (you know what I am talking about Casey), seriously... who can brake dance with a lawn chair?!?!? OH HE CAN! By far Sabra is just the best dancer, I suppose that is why she won:-). Even though Sarah is still my favorite. A girl that can break dance? How can she not be your favorite? AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I can't wait for the new season to start!

My Baby Turned THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Britton turned three on November 20Th, and I just can not believe how fast the time has flown. He could not be more boyish, which I have come to completely adore. All he wanted for his birthday was cars, trucks, motorcycles, just anything that goes VROOM! VROOM! VROOM! So of course, that is what he got. Every time he would open a present he would throw is arms in the air and scream with joy over the amazing gift he just opened. He loved the attention of us singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him and blew out his candles like a CHAMP! He picked out his Lightening McQueen Birthday cake all by himself and had a hard time with all of his cousins eating his perfect cake. SO FUNNY! He loves that he is three and every time someone asks how old he is he proudly holds up his pinky, ring finger, and middle finger and exclaims he is THREE and that is older than two! He is no longer a baby, he is boy.... WOW! Time really does fly.

Another Awesome Trip With Dan

I just had another opportunity to go see Dan! Every time I see him our relationship gets better and better. He is truly an amazing man and someone who I adore full heartedly. It is so nice to respect the person you are with and love everything about them.

The event of this trip was attending one of his best friends weddings. I think it is a pretty big step for any couple to attend a wedding together... what's next after that?!?!? The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we had a blast dancing. BY THE WAY, Dan has some serious moves and he even tried swinging with me! It was so fun to get out and dance and laugh with him. It is nice to be able to be myself and not have to worry about what my other half is thinking. He always lets me be myself and I love that!

We also took our first road trip together (the wedding was 4 hours away from his home). OH GOODNESS! Nothing will bring you closer than being enclosed in a confined space for four hours...

We are now heading in to our 7 week separation and I am praying it goes by fast... I HATE BEING AWAY FROM HIM!

Thanks to everyone who watched the boys! It is always nice to know your babies are being taken care of when you are away from them.

HALLOWEEN

FOR SOME REASON I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE NIGHT PICS WITH MY CAMERA! AHHHHHHHH!

Halloween lasted three nights this year and the boys loved every minuet of it.

Night 1 - Trunk or Treat at the boys school, and that is where all the pics are from. They got balloon swords, tons of candy, and got to go to a little Festival with games and prizes.

Night 2 - Halloween Party - I actually do not know where we were - But they got to go through a haunted house, hay ride, play games, get candy, bowl and every other fun thing you can think of.

Night 3 - HALLOWEEN - Benson stayed Spider man, but Britton went as a Pirate and he was soooooooooooooooooo cute. We even got him a Parrot to stick on his shoulder.

They are finally coming down off their sugar high! AHHHHHHHHHHH! THANK GOODNESS!
