Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!

So I decided to do two posts today! One because I thought it would be fun to post in the morning and at night and two just because I want to do a year in review because 2014 was pretty marvelous! It had its down moments but most of 2014 was spent with joy and laughter and happiness!

Warning: This is a really really long post. Like really really long. So you might want to have two cups of coffee, some breakfast and maybe even lunch to finish this post haha. :) Enjoy


A review of 2014

January
 This was a down month for me mostly because it was my last month on the truck. For those of you that don't know, I worked on a moving truck with my husband last year for seven months. At first I was right along side him driving and moving furniture and then we found out we were pregnant and so I moved to just doing inventory and then at 8 months pregnant had to get off due to appointments beings twice a month and then finally weekly until we had her. I had my baby shower this month as well which marked the week of me getting off the truck.

New Year's in Maine

The Nor'easter that hit in Massachusetts

February
This month marked one more month until Charlotte's arrival. I sat around, got finished Charlotte's nursery and played video games to help with the contractions that were coming and going. 
 Our First Valentines Day as a couple!
I got my hair cut before having little miss Charlotte

March
March 12, 2014 our little bundle of joy was born! She was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long! She was beautiful and despite the issues with labor we had a safe and happy delivery. Emergency c-section put my recovery time at a slower pace, but I love my little girl and my husband helped so much I cannot thank him enough. 






April
We celebrated Charlotte's very first Easter even though she was barely a month old. We took our first road trip with Charlotte down to Savannah, since that is where we work, and she went to the beach for the first time! 






May
May is a tough month for me. I lost my daughter Rebecca Lily a year ago when I was 7 months pregnant with her. I was devastated and still am today but luckily I have Charlotte and Scott and everyone else to get me through it. I celebrated my very first official Mother's Day, even though I celebrated last year as well, just a little less happily. This was the month of road trips, Memorial Day at the beach and Scott's car accident :( Someone totaled our car running a red light. He is alright now but his neck still hurts and he cannot feel his elbow still. 



June
Happy Anniversary to Scott and I. We have been married a year and spent our anniversary where we got married, Tybee Island. Charlotte stayed with Mimi and Grandpa and we took off for two days! It was marvelous and so relaxing and our first full trip away from little one! We traveled the entire month. We were in Savannah, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Savannah, and home! It was a blast but definitely a busy busy month. We celebrated Father's Day at the beach as well! I even went blonde this month!






July
We celebrated Charlotte's first Independence Day. Had awful gum graft surgery, took one last road trip and just chilled around the house. We  took Charlotte to see her first movie at theatres, How to Train your Dragon 2 and she loved it! 






August
Celebrated Scott's birthday, started classes, went to a friends bachelorette party (the first one I had ever been to), Football season started Woohoo! We even went to Charleston. SC as a day trip because Daddy had the day off!









September
.This wasn't a very busy month! We went to my suitemate from college, her wedding, and I continued with classes!
Earlier in the day

To later in the day! We clean up good!



Such a beautiful wedding

I took my first Psychology and used all of these sticky notes! 

October
This is by far my favorite month. My birthday, fall, everything pumpkin! Road trips, fall break, more exams, and Charlotte's first Halloween! Oh and we went to the Luke Bryan concert!















November
So this month I continued with school, celebrated Charlotte's first Thanksgiving and drove so many miles and hours. I worked all day before Thanksgiving and then all weekend after Thanksgiving and we even found time to go on another road trip! It was a busy month but a very thankful month! We had our first library trip, and our first play date too!



December
December has been a fun but busy month! I finished school, took my finals, got all A's, stayed in Savannah for two weeks, celebrated Charlotte's first Christmas, visited Santa, went to the Magic Kingdom, and found time to blog, read, write, and just relax! It's been a great month!









It has been an absolutely amazing year. Yeah there were tough times, but we were blessed with our beautiful baby girl and all have our health and family going into the new year! As I end this post, it will be my last of 2014. That is so surreal, especially as a mom. I have grown so much the past year and I cannot wait to see what is next for the Wicks family! 

I hope everyone is having and has a safe New Years Eve and a great New Year! 

Bring it on 2015!
XOXO

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that! ...

Show and Tell Tuesday: School Photos

Happy Tuesday! Today I am joining Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday's and today we are showing Worst School Pictures! I have a combination of good and bad school pictures just to mix it up a little bit!  Little baby Cat right before Pre-K!  Back in 2005, I was in middle school and going through a short hair and converse phase where I wore a lot of black and tried to fit in with a certain group of people! I was such a goof And Throwing it back to 2004! Aren't I just cute?!  Senior Year of High School  Senior Year pictures! I had ridiculously long hair that didn't like to cooperate for pictures! Then I chopped all of my hair off before going off to college Kept it short second year of college And finally grew it out and even colored it, I was in a rebellious stage it seemed! Those are my worst and best school pictures! I don't have too many pictures from my school days just because everything was thrown away when I lef...

Life Lately!

Happy Monday! Its a little life lately post to catch up on our past week! I started back to school for my Masters, Scott started his senior year of undergrad and life has gone crazy!  This little is working on sitting up, and finding all of his toys that he didn't know he had until he became mobile. He isn't crawling but he is really good at rolling himself around the place!  With sister in school all day these two are becoming best friends! I'll catch Skyler pulling R's hair, but I will also catch them laughing and playing and reading together! It's the sweetest little bond!  He enjoyed rolling himself underneath his crib a lot, all while I was sitting in the room with him! He loves to explore, even when it means momma has to rescue him from under the bed :P Afternoon cartons, goldfish and playing with toys We have been reading lots of books lately, we are going to the library this week to get some books but Ri has enjoyed reading wha...
