Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Psalm 21:2 This was the verse that I repeated to the Lord after Stephen and I saw the ultrasound confirming that we are having a son! From the very beginning we’ve hoped our baby was a boy. I have… Read More Baby is a Boy
The Wait You may be thinking, “What in the world took Stephen and Elisabeth so very long to close on their house?” I’ve wondered that myself! We looked at the house in late March, bid on it the end of March, but then didn’t close until June 4th. First of all, I’m learning that the… Read More Waiting…then Whirlwind on Winslow Avenue
Evenings have always been my favorite times of the day. Mornings never appealed to me much. I guess because it involves discipline to actually go to bed at a decent hour so I can then get up at a respectable time. It’s so much more fun to stay up late working on a totally unnecessary… Read More 30 Seconds in the Morning
Dark chocolate is medicinal. That’s right. So I think I’ll prescribe myself a daily double dose. 🙂
B is for blizzards. A butterfinger blizzard and a caramel brownie blizzard from DQ were fun treats tonight. Stephen had a buy one, get one free coupon which made them taste even better. B is for baby registry. Tonight we ventured into a new wonderland of baby gear. I must say it was overwhelming for… Read More “Big B, little b, what begins with B?”
Yep…we hit 101 degrees this past Friday. May 21st is a late date to start triple digit summer weather, but I won’t complain. After a gusty weekend that blew all the hot air away, today was nice and cool. What a great day to be in Phoenix! Saturday, Stephen and I had a mini, but… Read More Triple Digits
Mommy and Daddy were able to hear Baby’s heartbeat yesterday. I love that sound best of all! Now that I’m entering my 2nd trimester, I’m just barely starting to enjoy being pregnant–mostly because my morning sickness is starting to decrease. I still have to be careful to get enough rest and eat small snacks throughout… Read More Heartbeats
Working on the 2010 Census project has definitely been an adventure full of twists and turns. I think I mostly learned about people since I was working in a room full of 400 data entry operators. My team was made up of about 25 people, and we had a “sister team” of about 25 more… Read More From Census to Preschool
Was needed. long overdue. refreshing. sweet. made of happy times. Two weeks ago I flew home for my baby sister’s college graduation. I actually cried when I saw the green grass at the Pittsburgh airport. I’m sure the tears came more from my anticipation of seeing my mom again and from my tired pregnant state,… Read More To Be With Family Again
Since everything seems to be happening at once in our lives–baby, new house, trip home, new job for me–I’ve been much too busy to blog, so maybe I’d better catch you up. We found out on April 26th that our contract on the house had been finalized–just 4 days before the first-time-home-buyer-tax-credit expired! Had we… Read More New House Coming Soon!
