Weekend Update

Granny...
she is getting better. She had a rough couple of days in the middle of this past week but is in a regular room now and hopes to go home in the next couple of days. The doctor said that it will take a little while for her heart to heal. She is a good lady...always taking care of others. She took care of me most of my childhood...she will always be incredibly special to me.

Brice...
will be ordained as a deacon at our church next Sunday. What an exciting time for him! He is not one to get overly excited about, well, anything aside from Disney World but I know he is honored. I am so blessed to have such an incredible husband and friend.

I...
just had my 1 year anniversary at the hospital that I currently work at. It has been a long year. I love working there but I honestly have to say that it was a really rough beginning. My evaluation went fine.

Rachel...
has been challenging lately to say the least. Today she was definitely showing her age. Right now I hear Brice fighting with her to go to sleep. She normally has no problems but tonight she is screaming bloody murder. It is very hard for me not to want to run to her and hold her until she falls asleep. There isn't anything wrong with her but she is upset for some reason.

Baby Sister...
is growing!!! 30 weeks gestation now and in a few short weeks our family of 3 will become a family of 4. I am excited, nervous, scared, happy, sad, overwhelmed and so many other things all at the same time. This pregnancy has been GREAT!!! I cannot complain at all. I am very surprised that things have gone the way they have...all of the tests have been perfect and aside from my minor heart issues, everything has been great. We go on Thursday for our 3D sonogram and I cannot wait to see little girl again! Her nursery is coming along nicely and I will be having a baby shower on February 15th!! I am very excited!

That's about it. Here are a couple pictures....

Friends...Forever!

Image
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!!

Image
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.
