Evening Time

My evening started rather early. Rob called me at 3:30 and asked if I could pick him up from work. He was coming down with a migraine and unable to drive home. He is now resting/napping. So, I cooked an early supper. Now I am trying to decide what to do with the rest of my evening.

The baby is 10 weeks along today. I have been keeping a journal for the baby to read when he/she gets older. This has been a great way to express some of the feelings I have for this child. I am sure I will just continue to grow in love with the baby as time goes on. But I already am in love!

I pray that I can grow in my knowledge and relationship with the Lord during my pregnancy. I have so much down time right now as I am resting. I could be (and have been) wasting a lot of it on unimportant things. But I'm realizing what better time to seek the Lord with all my heart?

Hello Again!

It's been ages since I've written a post! The last few months have been filled with some normal life and some unexpected life!

Since October, Rob's been hunting off and on. He went out Friday for a last hunt before all seasons come to an end. Ron Ingram shot a pheasant, but Rob also had a bead on it so Ron generously let Rob take it home. So, we'll be having pheasant one of these nights!

Phoenix has continued to grow in size and....well, I was going to say maturity. But that might be a little too strong of a word! He's an adorable four-and-a-half-month-old puppy. We are loving having him around. Rob has been taking him out in the middle of nowhere and letting him run free. He loves using that nose of his (Phoenix, that is!).

The biggest news, which you all surely know by now, is that Rob and I are expecting!! Yes, a little one will be joining our family this August. My life has changed so much between the constant baby thoughts and the morning sickness symptoms. But the sickness is getting better and I am just so excited about the wee one inside of me! All ready, 9 1/2 weeks have come and gone. Just about a fourth of the way there!

Well, that should catch you up a bit. Oh, wait. I'm still working on school. I wasn't able to pass my second to last test. So, I am getting ready to take that one again. The test should be coming in in two weeks and I hope to be ready to challenge and defeat it by then! Oh, to be done with school!

Okay, now I think you are alllll caught up. Maybe this will help me get back into blogging again!
