When I was out and about

I have joined a dinner group. I make dinner on Tuesday for FOUR families. Its a crazy cooking busy busy day. BUT. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday I have a complete dinner delivered to my house around 5 PM. So nice.

While I was out shopping for my dinner this week I spotted these at *Costco, and I had to have them.

This is perfect above the bookcase in the play room.

Zoey's Purplelicious room...

I'm thinking Liam's room or the baby's room if it is a boy...

I'm going to tell Damon that dinner group was just REALLLLYYYY expensive this week.

*also found here.

What a glorious feelin', I'm singin' in the rain

simplicity at it's finest

El Presidente

DAMON IS AMAZING.


In his first full year as a district manager for Dey, he brought his team up from a brand new territory to NUMBER 2 IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. That's right. He rocked it. We got the news tonight as he FINALLY got his props, and it includes a cash bonus, a fancy trophy, the ultimate gold star for his resume, AND a week long ALL EXPENSE PAID vay cay here:

THE COVE ATLANTIS

Can we say Babymoon?

So until further notice, I will be referring to my hunka hunka burnin' love as

EL PRESIDENTE

Life on pause

I visited my doctor today. Twelve weeks, two days, couldn't find a heart beat. Thirty minutes later I'm waiting outside the ultra sound room alone praying that this wasn't happening. Not again. Damon and I praying, me in Austin, he in New Jersey.

Finally the moment of truth, and it revealed a healthy little drumming heart, and a squirmy baby to go along with it. All 3.5 inches of it.

I am so grateful. I have been so sick, or so busy with holidays that I didn't really bond with baby. I didn't know how much I loved it till I thought it was gone.

So take a minute to hold and love who you have. Don't take anything for granted. It all can change before you know it.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the governemnt shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace"

Merry Christmas

Ok so this is one of those posts that I may or may not regret posting, but I am too excited to care. I thought about posting it on facebook, but I think more people would see it and so I am posting it here.


I woke up this morning and I did the routine. Zoey off to school dressed like Cindy Lou Whoo, Damon off to work, Liam off to preschool, ect. Sometime in the midst of that I found time to get ready and low and behold, a Christmas miracle.




I outgrew my A-cup bra.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!




I would also like to thank the pregnancy hormones that made this possible.

Joyful
