We went camping in June of 2007 but I haven't scrapped many of the photos. Actually this is the only layout I have scrapped:

Becoming a Family

Since the last of July I have been spending every single day with my husband and son. Yeah all day with my husband! I have learned a lot about him (somethings you don't want to learn about your spouse) and we've bonded again. This layout I did back in June for RAKScraps sponsor, Amy Wolff. It was a hard and fun layout to make! I had a hard time finding photos from when my husband and I first met. Some of the photos of me are actually from a few years later but when I was still in college. Writing the journaling was interesting trying to remember all that happened. I wrote it to my husband since it is kinda an anniversary letter in a way.

First Halloween

This is not a first Halloween for anyone in my family. But in 2005 it was a first Halloween for Liam. I finally got around to scrapping those photos.

Life Lessons

Since July 20th, when my husband had his last day of work, things have been tough. The 2 hardest things to deal with actually do not include money. Unemployment pays so well we can't get Medicaid with less than a $10,000 deductible. Yet we can't pay our mortgage or medical bills. So that brings me to one of the hardest things to deal with right now and that is no insurance. Before, when we had insurance, I went to counseling once a week for depression. Now I cannot go so my depression hasn't gotten out of control. I am having trouble getting through each day without yelling at my husband or breaking down in tears. The only things that get me out of bed each day is my son and scrapbooking. Well since my son prefers his daddy right now sometimes he doesn't make me want to get out of bed. I try not to let it bother me that he prefers his daddy but with how wild my emotions are right now I can never predict how I feel from moment to moment and I have gone through most emotions lately. Also there are other medical appointments I used to go to weekly, one was physical therapy that without I am a lot of pain. I have some medication that helps (a little) but I am running out of that too and I can't get more without visiting a doctor and also paying for the meds. Okay so what is the second hardest thing? My husband being home all day. Which actually goes along with the other hardest thing. My husband doesn't always think... about anything other than him and his computer. I often (too often) have to remind him about everything! Which causes a lot of tension especially if he is watching our son for awhile and doesn't change his diaper and then our son's diaper leaks. Well we were seeing marriage counseling but now that we have no insurance we can't go and it seems as if he reverted back to not caring about our marriage. I don't need another child, I need a husband. So why am I telling you all this. Well it goes along with my latest layout which I made for a challenge on RAKScraps.

Play It Again, Liam

This is one of my favorite layouts. I made it for the RAKScraps's July sponsor Betsy Tuma. Yes, I stole my title from Casablanca, but it worked for the layout :)

A Dramatic Scene

My son is really getting to tantrums now. One day it was so funny that I had to take pictures. I was also trying so hard not to laugh!
