.last post was about change. change individually, change as a couple, change as a family. just change.
.we have worked hard at our "changes", and we have really seen the blessings.
.we have been saying prayer as a couple every night. we have been sitting at the table together for dinner, and talking about our day/concerns/future. we have been paying our tithing every week (so we don't get behind), we have accepted new callings in church, we have attended the temple, we have made time for each other.
.and the blessing come.
.we have grown closer together. we have less contention. andrew got a job where he creates HIS schedule, and how many hours he wants to work. i got asked to work a longer shift at work (better paycheck), i am healthy enough to work longer hours at work. i got a raise. my boss is begging for me to come back with baby free. we are 10 weeks (or less) anyway from being parents, baby is healthy and right on track.
.i am just so thankful for the knowledge i have, that when we do OUR part first, the Lord will acknowledge.
....now to show what we have been up to....
.so i turned 22 years young. okay. i feel old because i am going to be a mom. i know lame excuse. but thats okay. my mom-in-law spoiled me with so much baby stuff. my mom paid for the baby bedding to be made for baby girls room. my sister is slaving over making it. my other sister sent me my traditional gift card to subway to get sugar cookies when craving them. and my very very good friend megan stopped by to wish me a happy birthday with gift cards to go out with my hubby. i was spoiled.
.i had a 4 hour class i had to attend for work on my birthday so i did that, and walked in to see this.
the baby swing i have been wanting for a long long long time, along with my candle warmer i have been eyeing over, lit, and smelling delicious (carmel scent), laundry done, apartment clean, dishes done, lunch being made. thanks andrew. your awesome :)
two days later was valentines day.... we celebrated it using one of my gift cards from megan to go out to dinner, costing us 5 dollar (yea, us!), and came home to ice cream cake from daddy. my dad has a tradition where every year he would buy an ice cream cake for valentines day. it would say to all my girls. . . well we were spoiled and he bought every one of his girls one this year. . . ours was from cold stone and it was a rich dark chocolate center ice cream with red velvet cake..... can you say YUM!
(ignore cheesy smiles and fat prego body)
i also walked in from work to this; sweet boy :) oh how i love him :)
.can you tell he knows me... single rose and SOUR PUNCH BITES... yummy.
(yes, he ate some...haha i love us)
.thats us. i will get a "belly picture" soon. we are approaching 31 weeks on friday (YAHOO!) :)
