Nesting!

Yes, my friends, I am in full blown nesting mode!!! A little early, I might add, but it is here. I do not remember doing this when I was pregnant with Rachel. Maybe it was because most of my 3rd trimester consisted of insanely high blood pressures and swelling.

As I previously posted, yesterday we took down all of the Christmas decor. Well, after Brice took down the Christmas tree, he went and watched TV because...he needed a break! That was a long break! I ended up taking ALL of the rest of the decorations down, stacking the boxes in a neat place (awaiting for their return to the attic...something only the husband is capable of at this point), swept the floor, and rearranged the furniture. *side note about the sweeping* it is amazing to me how many little tree twigs fall off an artificial tree!!! GEEZ!!! Okay, so after that was all done, I was hurting...and EXHAUSTED! I sat down and watched some football...I love football! Wish the Colts would have won...o'well!

Today was church so we did that and then had a really great baby shower for Chris and Candace in anticipation for the arrival of Baby Cadence. It was really fun and I think they got a lot of nice things for the baby. Tonight I went to the grocery store. Can I just say that I LOVE TOM THUMB!!! It may be more expensive than Kroger or Albertsons but the service and convenience of the place is just worth it! They are always so friendly and helpful and they are open until 1:00 AM!!! I can go grocery shopping when most people are at home or in the bed...after my child goes to sleep. That way when I come home, my husband is able to help bring the groceries in. When I got home, we were putting up the groceries and I rearranged the pantry...sighs.....

Next, I am about to organize my scrapbook desk and get things ready for tomorrow so that I can continue cleaning the house and hopefully finish Rachel's 1st year scrapbook this week or next! HOPEFULLY!!! Yes, I DO realize that she is 2 and I am still not finished with her 1st year....IT'S 3 COMPLETE FAT SCRAPBOOKS!!!!!! I will need to start on Baby Sister's soon so I at least need to finish Rachel's 1st year....manageable goal, I do think! =)

I love Tom Thumb too.
They rock.

And...um, I believe we just attended Rachel's birthday party...she's older than a year.

Okay, had to tease a little on your lack of gettin' that done in a timely manner...but I am proud of you for getting it done now before the new baby comes!

Oh, and if you feel so inclined, come to my house & "nest". You can go through all my stuff if you promise to clean along the way.
...I'm just sayin'.... if your place is done & you still need to clean stuff---you know where I live.

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
