6 WEEKS!!!

11-01-12

  My husband and I found out that I'm pregnant! We couldn't be more happy and excited for the little blessing God has growing inside of me. I'm doing quite well (no morning sickness yet), and am still getting used to the idea that I'm going to be a Mommy!

 We've had many "Congratulations" and lots of helpful advice. I'm so thankful for the jump-start I've had with my diet and how my feeling better regularly will hopefully help me feel better throughout this pregnancy. Some mothers may laugh at that, but go ahead, I know I'm new and probably very naive about much of this, but I've learned a lot in the last week and plan to learn so much more for the months and years to come! I'm currently 6 weeks along and we expect to meet our little one sometime in July (God willing). This will be the first Grandbaby and Great-Grandbaby on my husband's side and everyone is quite excited regardless of the idea of adding "grand" and "great" to the beginning of their names.

God Bless,

A Funny Little Thought

10-10-12

My husband showed this to me today and I had to share, too funny to keep to myself!
 


On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

So God agreed.....

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."

The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"

And God agreed......

On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."

The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed again......

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."

But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God. "You asked for it."

So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.

WEDDINGS, Weddings, weddings....

6-25-09

Well, let's see what I've been up to... *peers into the memory bank* ....ah yes!

Of late I've been traveling alot, getting ready for weddings, attending weddings, and organizing a bridal shower for the end of next month! Sometimes there will be a couple days where i don't even see my sister for a few days at a time because I'm busy with work and whatever else I'm doing and she is working. She leaves before I get up, or she is sleeping when I leave, and then when I get off work I have meetings and other engagements that keep me from going home until she is already in bed...so sad to have to catch up with people you live with! :shock:

My best friend's wedding is in two months and we ordered our dresses last week! I've been making a rifle with a friend of mine....way more fun than I'd ever expected it could be! I went to some friend's wedding in WA last weekend and took a friend along and had such a lovely time! Sadly I'd forgotten my camera so I have no pix :( But I'll probably be heading up that direction again in another few months anyhow so I'll get some pix then :D

A friend from Michigan is moving to WA!!! I'm so excited to get to see her more often! I miss her very much! I got my first job as a HCW(Home Care Worker)!!! Even though it is just fill-in for now I am very excited to be working my first job and get some experience on my shoulders! Business isn't so good with the economy the way it is, so I've been looking for another fulltime job, but have yet to find something. Hopefully I can get my name out in the Home Care world and wont have to have a second job to work around. But I'm finding that no matter what I think or how much I stress over anything, God knows how everything is gonna work out and He reveals it in His own time!

Every couple weeks my sister and I drive over to Mac after work and go dancing (ECD) and then drive home. It is so much fun and we have made some really nice friends. Last week I was able to attend a friends church's family camp about 30 mins from my house and got to become reaquainted with some people I met about 7 years ago doing ECD. It was fun the see them all grown up, some married with children, and dance the old dances with them once again!

Because of all that has and continues to transpire I've been reminiscing alot, recalling wonderful memories from those carefree childhood years...I continue to find that growing up is not all it was cracked up to be. I'm not near so fond of it as I once was and am not at all keen on the independence and responsibility that comes with it. I truly believe that I am not at all ready for marriage or even a relationship at this point in my life....although I do not care for independence and the responsibilities associated with it I do enjoy being able to go and do what ever I want at any moment(within reason).

My best friend did not seem to excited to hear this when I first told her, but it is how I feel. I don't want to be selfish or anything, it's just that I'm not real sure I am ready for such an undertaking as that and am not yet ready for another broken heart...God will make me ready when the time comes I know...and that makes it not such a scary prospect for me. :)

Sorry this one is so long, but I guess that is what I get for not updating in so long...lol

BTW... we sold our horse, at long last, to a wonderful couple that we very happy to get a good horse to love and nurture...see I can't even take care of a horse, how could I take care of a husband?...i know, not a good comparison...
