Still Recovering...

I'm still recovering from my weekend. Plus, the weather has been so nice that D-Man and I have spent lots of time outside and I've neglected my normal routine inside.


Talk amongst yourselves and I hope to be back tomorrow.


I know you can hardly wait...

Recovering

I'm trying to dig out from the loads of laundry and stuff that's out of place after our great weekend trip with family.

I'll be back when I make it out.

Hopefully.

Happy Monday...hope you all had a great weekend! Tell me what you did, if you are so inclined.

Family Time

Well, we are off this morning to the great state of Missouri to spend a few days with my family in Branson.

I hope that each of you has a wonderfully blessed weekend!

The answers you've all been waiting ago

Several weeks ago, I asked all of you, my bloggy friends, to ask me something you'd like to know about me. Three of you amused me with your questions and so today I thought I'd start answering them.



Rachel asked me if I planned to have more kids. Well, I guess if God's plan calls for them, yes. When Husband and I got married, we talked about having 3 or 4. Then came professional school for Husband and then training for the professional career and we arrive at today. D-Man is our world...we feel so blessed that we get to be his parents here on earth. And, if God blesses us with another child that we get to raise on earth, then we will say, "BRING IT ON!"


Rachel also asked me if I had always planned on being a stay-at-home-mom. This is a great question and one I haven't specifically answered before. For those of you who don't know, I majored in Biology when I was in college with the intention of becoming a Biology teacher. God had another plan, though, and Husband and I married, I completed the Biology portion of my degree and we moved so that he could attend a postgraduate professional school. I needed a job, because the bills didn't pay themselves and so I began working at a bank...and I stayed there for several years (with a small run at selling insurance in between). Banking worked for me...I needed a job where I could talk to people and banking afforded me that opportunity. I worked many aspects in the banking industry including teller, customer service representative and branch manager. Basically, I saw myself as a career oriented person who was on a path to something great.

Then I became pregnant and my whole world and focus changed. I could about nothing more than readying the room, buying the clothes and speeding up time so that I could hold D-Man in my arms. And so I quit work 9 days before he was born and haven't looked back since.

Do I miss the social aspect a job lends itself to, yes, but I wouldn't trade where I am in my life for anything.

I hope that you learned something about me today...if you weren't able to ask your question before and have one to ask by all means do so in the comments section!

And thanks Rachel for the questions!

Middle of the week, and I've got nothing

Yes, it's true.

There is no literary greatness flowing through this brain today.

(Not that I am a literary great or anything.)

Thought instead that I might leave you with a photo today.

And if you could title it, what would you call it?

Wish I had a prize to give away, but I don't.

Just amuse me.

Thank you.

All in a verse

I am working on something new that someday soon I want to unveil to all of you. It's something very near and dear to my heart and it involves my FAVORITE subject, my Heavenly Father.

But I need some help from all of my bloggy friends...please, oh please don't fail me now.

What is a verse(s) that speaks to you? Is there a reason behind why this verse is so special (if you are willing to share this reason).

Thanks in advance for your help!

It makes me happy when...

...I wake up, look at the clock and realize I still have 2 hours left to sleep.

...D-Man says, "Mommy," while we are driving in the car and follows it with, "I love you."

...I find some leftover Valentine's chocolate I forgot I had.

...the weather is sunny outside and warm all at the same time.

...my jeans fit looser than the last time I wore them (even after washing and drying them.)

...I get to spend time with family whom I haven't seen in awhile.

...I get to laugh and laugh and laugh.

...I am reminded how great my Father in Heaven is!
