Once again as I typed my long blog yesterday and I went to copy it to the clipboard because I needed to finish it later, it erased it all. very annoying and now you get the short version.
Had a great birthday and Mother's day. Ryan and Hannah made me breakfast in bed and a card with 2 coupons on it. One is for a whole weekend of sleeping in and the other was for a day without responsibilties. And they also got me a 1 hour prenatel massage gift certificate. So Memorial Day weekend i'll be cashing in on the sleeping in coupon and massage. i can't wait. Ryan and I are not celebrating my birthday until the first weekend of June. He is taking me on a secret get away. i am so excited, because I was hoping that we could have one more chance to get away just the 2 of us before Caleb comes along, because it will be awhile after that.
It's been kind of a stressful week for me, because there seems to be much bad drama happening around us with our friends and families. I feel selfish even complaining about how burdened I feel when I am not the one going thru the situations at least. The ironic thing is that I have been on this mountain top high for a few weeks with life. Thanks to Donna (my mentor) and God's faithfulness, I am finally getting to where I feel like not only a productive mother, but a productive wife, homemaker, and friend. I'm not sure I have ever felt this balanced before in my life. And it's not even like I am getting everything done that I want to get done all the time, I actually still have a long way to go. But I am not as hard on myself or running ahead of God which I used to like to do a lot. I am definitely seeing the correlation more and more between the time and the quality of time I spend with God and my peace and patience level with life.
Great job Matt, Mare and Trace on the bike ride. What an accomplishment! Many props to you! (am i too old to use that phrase? :) )
Has anyone else been watching Grey's Anatomy on sunday nights? The acting isn't the greatest, but I really like the story lines and Patrick Dempsy. I have been really into the music too. I went to ABC's website and they actually have a music guide to the show which i thought was pretty cool. I usually don't know enough about groups to plug anyone good and you all have probably already heard of them, but Tegan and Sara has some pretty good songs. i was listening to some clips on itunes. i like their sound...kind of an alternative folk sound. so there's my music input for the year! :)
Welp time to make the most of Hannah's nap time. Our friends Tracy and John and their little girl Siera are coming in tomorrow so it will be a good excuse to get the house in tip top shape. i'll end with a funny bumper sticker i saw last night on my way home. it said.."If God isn't a Bronco's fan, why are sunsets orange". i'm personally not a bronco's fan, but it made me chuckle.
Have a great weekend all!
