Update!!!

Well it has been way to long since i have posted anything on here. So i am 32 weeks pregnant and ready to meet our little one! We have trying for almost 3 years and have finally been blessed with a baby. We are going to be having a little girl, which means lots of pink and lace. i just had my 3D ultrasound and she is so beautiful. She is a little shy, she slept with her arm over her face for most of the ultrasound. I guess it never seemed real to me that we were finally having our sweet girl until seeing what she look like in the pictures. It finally hit me in less then 51 days i will be a Mommy. (that brings tears to my eyes) It was so amazing. Here are a few pictures of that day:

(drum roll please)

I have been looking for something to do at nights since JL works so much at night!! SO i am going to develop my talents and hobbies. i am going to do cooking and sewing classes!! when i am creating something i let go of not having a baby, being bigger than i would like, and other stress that i have. I have not always been like this though, i have been realizing how much i enjoy these kind of these. i still can not make jewelery like brookie yet but i am trying . Brookie i need lessons from the pro!! Well tell me what you think about my new kitchen curtains!!!

the big 24

Well i hate to celebrate birthdays for myself but if i must have one 24 is not too bad. My birthday was great expect for the fact JL had to work. I woke up to a voice from my mom and grandma wishing a happy birthday. My mom made sure to call 1st. What a great mom!! when i lived at home josh would wake the birthday person up at midnight with the happy birthday song. I missed it this year. I went to work and the girls there made it really special! thank you girls!! they bought flowers and cupcakes and of coarse PEPSI. JL took me out to lunch and give me these:

After work i went to my mom's house to go out to dinner. which was so good. Here are a few of the fun things i received for my BDay:

I am so blessed! Thank you JL, MOM & DAD,ROB, LAYNE & SARA, GRANDMA, HONEYBUNCH & ROXIE AND JOSHIE LEE AND ALL THE GIRLS AT WORK!! you all made me feel so special!!

i love my pressure cooker!!!

I have had this pressure for over 4 years and never used it!! My mom, daisy and I took a cooking class at Shar's (by the way is so neat) that teach my how to use it. It is amazing that if you know how to use something you enjoy it more. I have used it at least 7 times in two weeks. It cooks chicken in 3 minutes. Yes i said 3 minutes. I still let JL think it took me forever to make dinner when it only takes 3 minutes. Point of the story, if you do not have one get one and go to shars cooking class i learned a lot!!!
