Bun in the Oven...

... or next to the oven ... Spencer is so punny. 40 weeks - when does the insanity end?

39 Weeks

So after some deliberation on whether to rehash life since September or just start today ... just starting over wins. Officially I am 39 weeks. This is what I have been focusing on instead of blogging for the last few months. I can't believe the end is near. Time has just flown by but we're excited to meet our little girl and I've never felt so round.

See .... I do things ....

Usually I feel like most of what I do isn't really blog worthy. Nobody cares about my short drive to work or where I went to lunch or what my hair looks like or whether or not I was compliant with the dress code at work and how my sink at home has dishes in it that probably won't get done tonight ... I certainly don't want to write about those things, except when I have a really awesome hair day. But I actually have some hobbies and one thing that I like to do when I have the time, and the material, and the stars align just right is to make baby things. Nothing big, just fluffy little tidbits that are tokens of my love. So .... My friend, whom we shall call T had cute little twin boys a few months back and I actually finished some of the things that I set out to do. Que milagro indeed. T sent me a picture of her little boys and their lovies/burpees/thingies and I thought that I should show the world that I do more than wake up, teach seminary, work, eat, work, go home, eat, sleep, start over and if it's the weekend there is probably (hopefully) some laundry action in there. So here is the proof that sometimes I get some sewing done.

Yay! Hooray for Friends

I figured that it was about time to put something new up on the blog page. This is a pic of the J-man and myself with some good friends of ours. On the left you have Tony and Val and on the right we have the newlyweds, Austin and Desee. It was good to spend an evening together and meet Desee. Nothing like a bit o' hanging out with friends. J-man and I are so blessed by the friends we have in our lives.

I just wanted to let everyone who checks my little page here in on the news. Early this morning (tues) my dad passed away at home. My family is so grateful for all your prayers and support, all the kind words and thoughts and expressions of love. I can't say thank you enough for that and ask that you continue to keep my family in your prayers. Thanks again - your support means the world to me.
