Something I love..

I love to design T-Shirts. I didn't know it until this past year when I got to design a few for work requirements... its a ton of fun! I made another one today.. I can't spoil it yet by leaking a photo here because its a surprise for students :)

The baby is 13 weeks today! Jeff and I plan on celebrating.. probably with some ice cream! YES.

I also love my dog. Ella is hilarious.

This is a picture from when she first joined our family.... aww so sweet. She is chomping on a bone at this very moment. Since we don't have a yard.. she buries the bone in different places around the house. Examples: in the couch, in the basket of blankets, in the TV stand (by the games), in the dirty clothes (gross), etc. You get the point the poor girl wants to dig and hide this lil bone. Oh well sweet girl. One day we'll have a yard for you to play in and yes even dig.

Jeff's home.. I'm going to go beg for an ice cream trip!

Today is a day.

Question? Why does it seem like the best sleep is happening to you right when you need to wake up? I am pretty sure I hit the snooze button 25 times this morning before I actually got out of bed.

I got to come out to Integrity today to hear Jeff lead worship for the Spring Break class this afternoon. He lead both sessions today and even though I wasn't here for the morning service I am so proud of all his work for this afternoon. Something that many people don't realize about worship leaders is how much work they put (should) into their song decisions. Jeff constantly pours his heart into his preparation any time he leads worship. I know this because I lose him for a few hours as he prepares. He removes himself from his surroundings and truly focuses on the words of the songs he chooses. I realized today as he lead that is a reason why I'm so proud of him. Also, I'm so thankful that my child will be raised by a Dad who spends that much time truly preparing for leading people to worship our GREAT King. While I was in the class a question was brought up.. Would you die for what you talked about over lunch? Well that was also transitioned into would you die for the songs your singing, writing, etc. Makes you think eh?

Kathryn Scott's Song We Still Believe

I feel like I've been on both sides of this song. I will continue in someway or form to always be on each side of these cries.

I'll die for the truth behind this song.

Sunday Afternoon

Jeff lead a song this morning at the church he plays at on Wednesday nights. This morning started off weird because of the loss of time. We got some NEWK's after church which was a blessing to my life and stomach. I love their Mediterranean Pizza. mmmm (thankfully I have leftovers for dinner) Well on the way back home we decided we'd lay down for a little nap once we made it home. Jeff and I passed out for 5 hours! Neither of us moved. We were out for the count. It was a much needed nap I'd say.

I want this for Mother's Day. I realize that my child isn't here yet but this year Jeff and I will get to celebrate being parents on Mother's Day and Father's Day. This necklace is at DressU .. I'll be dropping a hint later to Jeff :)

Enjoy your Sunday evenings!!

Nothing.

I've got nothing to blog. 

No really, I've been racking my brain for the last hour on if I had anything to blog about.. Well I'm watching Teen Mom. I feel like its always a bad decision. My heart breaks for this terribly young moms who don't have a good support system and are doing what they know (not the best) but what they know breaks my heart. 

That is all I've got today. 

What is some of the best advice you Mom's received with your first baby? 

Let's Try This Again

I'm not sure that I will ever be able to keep a blog on a regular basis. Personal or Business. I've never been much of a writer but at the same time I don't want to forget things. So, if you'll take me back.. I'm going to try this again.

Jeff and I found out in January that we are pregnant!! This is my second pregnancy so we were a little hesitate at first to tell people. After losing our first baby it just felt unreal. After a bunch of Dr.'s appointments (this baby is already high maintenance) not only seeing the heartbeat at 6 weeks but 2 weeks later hearing it we felt comfortable letting the whole world know. Jeff and I had such a different peace about this pregnancy its very hard to explain. My excitement was through the roof and even through 8 weeks of INTENSE sickness, (all day not just morning) being dehydrated, and getting a shot every week, the excitement continues to grow :).

The newest deal for me to obsess over is when I can find out what I'm having. My gut is a boy.. But what do I know? Well, I know it will either be a boy or girl. So its 50/50. What are your guesses? I'm also already looking at everything you'd ever thought of buying.. What do you actual need? What gizmo's are useless?

I can't find a single baby girl bedding that I like. Trust me I realize that I have MONTHS to search. But know one thing about me.. as much as I'm not a planner.. I LOVE TO SHOP. Therefore give me a reason (baby) to shop and I want to find everything my heart ever desired. Little boy bedding on the other hand.. I've found the one that fits my soul. (Jeff loves it 2 don't worry!)

Yes, I realize Owls are everywhere but these are just so darn cute!! 

That is all I'll share for now. I'm 12 weeks today which means my miscarriage rate dropped down to 1% we are beyond excited for this day. (it felt like FOREVER to get here!) I think back to our first pregnancy and look at what a blessing that short time was with our baby and now can't wait to meet this one.. What a joyous day that will be!
