Yes, you heard it right – we are expecting our first little one in late June of 2010! We are super excited and are just in awe of God’s handiwork. We spilled the beans to family and friends (as much as possible!) last night and it was an overwhelming response. We are so blessed by all the folks that are surrounding us as we walk through this new adventure of our life. Some details for the curious folks. 🙂 We found out that we were pregnant on October 30th – so we have been keeping this a secret for a …

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!
Thanksgiving Weekend
We had a very relaxing and nice weekend with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving. We were sad to not be with all of our family but we had a great weekend none the less. My sister and her husband, Katie & Greg came down on Wednesday and stayed with us through Saturday. They brought their adorable new puppy, Radar. Yankee and him had so much fun playing together. 🙂 On Thursday, Katie and I spent the whole morning getting ready for the big Thanksgiving dinner. Our friends, Liz & Mike, drove down from Durham with yummy apple pie and …
Where did November go??
So, I just realized that it has been almost a month since I posted last. That is how boring life has been around here! I feel like November has dragged along but now its almost over and I don’t know where it went. It is going to be Christmas before we know it! We really haven’t been up to much lately. Mike has been slowly working on some house projects {pictures soon!} and I have been going to physical therapy and trying to get better. We are gearing up for Thanksgiving next week as well. My sister and her husband …
4 Week Update
I am officially 4 weeks out from surgery {as of yesterday} which means I am now “safe”. In theory, my tendon should be strong enough now and will not snap again. At 6 weeks they consider you “healed” from surgery. However, that does not mean that you are back to where you were before the injury. There is still a long way to go to get my ankle moving and my calf muscle built back up. Physical therapy has been going very well so far and my therapist, Michelle, is very happy with my progress. She even emailed the doctor …
Back to Fall
Thanks for the few of those that gave their opinions on my Christmas card designs! If anyone else would like to contribute, please still do! I haven’t made up my mind yet. I find it funny that I had the exact opposite feelings towards the cards I created. Number 3 was the first one I created and I thought it looked too simple. I do like number 2 {as all of you did too} but I also liked number 1. We’ll see which one I choose! 🙂 Back to present day {let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves!}…it is …
Christmas Cards…..???
Yep – Christmas cards. I know, it is only October but I have had a lot of time to sit and think about Christmas. As I have spent lots of frustrating time in years past trying to find the perfect card, I have decided that I am going to create my own card. I am brand new to designing stuff like this so if they all look novice, I apologize! Here are three designs that I have come up with. Please vote on the one that you like. If you have any suggestions or don’t like any of them let …
Not much to blog about
So, life has been a bit boring for me the past few weeks. Life on the couch doesn’t get very exciting. 🙂 I am now 2 weeks out from surgery and started PT yesterday. I am not looking forward to the pain that will come with PT but I am looking forward to moving and getting better! This week is week 1 out of 6 for the initial start of my PT therapy. I will keep you all posted on how progress goes. Our church, our neighbors and our family have been so great during this time. We had so …
Photoshop!
I am now the proud owner of Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Lightroom! (Well, Lightroom is being delivered today.) I am so excited and have already spent way too much time playing with Photoshop. I was going to post a picture of the box but I am way too lazy and my camera is upstairs – a trek that I am trying to make only once a day!
Quilt for Baby A!
I couldn’t post this before today because I did not want the recipient to accidentally come across this post and see her present! 🙂 I finished my first ever quilt the other day and am fairly happy with how it turned out. One of my good friends, Meghan, is expecting her 2nd child any day now – a little boy! When I first got my sewing machine I was determined to make her something for her shower present. This quilt looked easy enough and so I set out to do it. This quilt isn’t hard but it took me waaaayyy …
