Denver, Colorado Day 1

More Baby Stuff

Baby clothes! Thanks Grandmother Gillum! We love it!

Packages and Mother's Day

I am counting down the days of work that I have left before we leave... I don't completely hate my job, but I am ready for a change. So when I got of work late at night Friday I was thrilled to have received a package in the mail. I love to get mail! Aunt Molly (I figure she's the closest thing I have to a biological sister so our baby will call her aunt) had sent the baby his/her first onesy (is that what it is called?). It is pictured in the former post. Love it- it has stars! I tried to convince Steven that a perfect girl name was Star (at least middle name), but he doesn't agree.

Then, Saturday I received (I waited until after work to check the mail- on purpose) another package from Granny (my mom)! She sent me Nam's Bits- little chocolate chip cookies from B-ham that we both love. I also got the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and a huge gift card for maternity clothes.
I also got two mother's day cards! One from GG-Mom and one from Granny.

Yesterday, for Mom's day, Steven took me to lunch and shopping for maternity clothes. We shopped til we dropped and ended up with lots of great deals. Maternity pants are awesome!

Being a mom is great! It's like the easiest thing I've ever done. And I get to take naps and eat a lot.

Announcement! Announcement!

We're having a Baby!

God has blessed us!

Last week was busy and exciting... also we were richly blessed by our friends. We were invited over to three home's for dinner and fellowship. I am thankful to have friends that desire to serve.

I also helped host my first baby shower on Saturday. It was super fun and girly!

Sewing, baking, couseling ahhhh

Life is going by too fast. I have been looking forward to spring for so long and it is finally here! So I am thankful for the warm weather. School is winding down, which means lots of work before the end. I need to finish three more counseling cases, a book review, read 4 more books, and 2 finals. Also I have a big sewing project I am 1/3 of the way done with. And tomorrow I have a baby shower cake to be delivered. Not really looking forward to going to work tonight. Wish I could stay home and sew, bake and read. But I must go and serve some people pizza.
Only two months left in Wake Forest! Sad and happy... Happy to spend a month traveling to see family and friends. Sad to leave "home"/church and live out of a suitcase for a year and a half.
God is sovereign and worthy! He is good.

Movies

For the majority of my life I never liked watching movies... until I started dating Steven. Since we started dating I have watched more movies than all the years before we started dating. Most recently I have watched:
High School Musical #1
Yes, Man
Marley and Me
Annie (yes- I still watch it)
The Happening

I have to say that Annie is still my favorite. Although after my Marriage Counseling Class tonight I am really anxious to see Fiddler on the Roof. My professor broke out in song at the beginning of class because he had just watched the movie and really liked the song Do You Love Me? (click on the name to watch and listen)
Steven said he sings this to me all the time, but I don't remember. Probably because I have never seen the movie. Soon that will change.
