Where have I been?

HOnestly, I don't really know. I really tried to get a cute video of Caleb posted and when I couldn't get the thing loaded, I lost the motivation.
Then both our computers crashed.

So here's an update in a sort of stream of conscienceness format:

In the past few weeks my stomach has popped out like a turkey timer. I have to wear all my ugly, too short maternity pants. Actually, the pants themselves aren't ugly at all, it's the bottom of the pants lightly brushing the tops of my shoes that is ugly.

Got the ultrasound of new baby. When I saw "it" on the screen I thought it might be a boy, but then I had a really intense dream last night where I gave birth to a little girl. The ultrasounds now a days are incredible!!!!! And since I got one so late in the game, "it" really looked like the chubby cuteness one associates with a baby. Rather than what looks like a grainy shot of a potato.

Put an ad of my 4 year old mare on the website : ranchworldads.com. If you are at work and therefore have free time to check it out, look under "horses for sale" and then under "08 Doc O Lena, Doc Quixote bred" I think Tack is in one of the shots and my shadow is in another.

I have been cooking lunch for Western Frontiers a couple of times a week and have really enjoyed it- I hate cooking at home, but there's something about having a huge industrial kitchen and a clean up crew that makes cooking fantastic! I cook for about 20 people. Bringing back some memories....

Caleb has absolutely earned his name of "tornado boy." He likes making international calls on the phone, puzzles, and looking at books. This apart from the usual eating dog food and playing with dirt.

The church is going well, we got a few new families so I am hitting the sunday school trail again. Celebrate Recovery tugs along and is really good for our community. We are starting some leadership training for all the leaders in the surrounding areas since almost everyone who is leading CR has no training. It feels like we are all banding together to pioneer this thing in our basin and that is a really fun feeling.

Been doing some sewing- very cute Christmas presents, if I do say so myself. Sewing is something that has taken me 15 years to get to the point of enjoyment, but I really like it now. It helps to have a slightly perfectionist personality, which I don't at all, but have slowly been cultivating in my life to my own benefit.

Life looks pretty good from here. I worked out of my last post a while ago, so I haven't been depressed the last two months like my blog made it seem!

I think I am going to post this without even spellchecking!

Living from teh edge,
Faith

Child Labor Law- if it's a child, it should labor






He'll qualify for minimum wage pretty soon and finally start pulling his weight around here.
