How tired I am! Today was a busy day. Tonight we had an open house at school for the parents to meet the teacher who will take over my job for the rest of the year. And after that I went to Bible Study fun night with the girls at seminary. It was fun to sit around and talk, and we had chocolate fondue! That's twice in one week! I sure an sleepy now though!

My Birthday, 2008
It's my birthday today! It was such a great birthday too! I woke up this morning and got ready for work, and Ryan got up just to hug me and give me my presents! And school went well today too! A mom in my class brought me lunch, and in the afternoon my class had a suprise baby shower for me! They brought cake and presents, it was very fun! after school I came home and met mom and dad, and when Ryan got home from class we all went to dinner at the Melting Pot, which is a fondue restraunt! It took about three hours, and it was so very fun! I had never done fondue before! We had cheese fondue, and lots of yummy meats, and chocolate fondue too! We were stuffed! But of course when we got home we had to have a little ice cream cake, my favorite! And I got to open the presents from my parents and Matt and Sukey cam over too for a while. It was such a good birthday! I'm so glad I got to spend it with my family! So now I'm 26......

Today was not the best day, well at least the morning was not the best. I didn't get much sleep last night. My tummy and my head hurt all night, and I couldn't sleep. Then my tummy hurt all morning too, and it didn't make it better with my kids throwing up and pottying in their pants. It was a rough morning, just one of those days I suppose. I felt better after lunch, after I cried through lunch that is. Tonight was great though when I got home. Dad and Mom met me at our apartment when I got home, and when Ryan got home we all went out to eat to Red Lobster, and then to the mall to buy some much needed shoes. Dad and Mom bought Ryan some shoes too, and he is so very excited about them! i have never seen him excited about shoes before, but he loves them! It makes me smile. It's so good to have my parents here! I wish we lived closer to family! Tomorrow is my birthday!

This morning I got to sleep in, but unfortunatly I went brain dead and woke up and was ready for church an hour early! How sad is that! So I washed the dishes and straightened things up a little. Then mom and dad picked me up for church. After church we went to La Hacienda again with our Sunday School class. It was fun to introduce dad and mom to everyone! After that Ryan stayed at church and the rest of us drove to Love Field to the airport because mom wanted to see it,a nd then we went home and took naps until Ryan got home. We had pizza for dinner and watched Game Plan, which is a fun movie, you should watch it!

This morning Jeremy made us all breakfast of steak and eggs and grits! It was very yummy! Then they all left after breakfast. It's so sad to see them leave! It was fun to have them here! Mom and Dad came back though thisafternoon, which was fun. I had just enough time to take a nap and clean up a little before they got here. Ryan has been working a lot on his video, and tonight mom and dad and I went out to eat and brought some back for Ryan. He couldn't figure out how to get part of his video to work, but by the time we got back he got it to work. Really though the Lord got it to work, because we had been praying!

This morning we woke up to a full house! I made waffles and then I had a doctor's appointment. Everything's going well with little baby Micah, and he's even measuring a little big, I think she said a centimeter. His little heart is beating away! It's fun to here his heartbeat (and not so fun to get the sticky goo off my belly afterwards.) Thisafternoon I went to work, and Jeremy and Katiera and the kids got to see my school and classroom. It was fun to show them around. Tonight Ryan and I and Matt and Sukey went out to eat with our friend Roger to the Golden Corral, and then Ryan and I went with Jeremy and Katiera and the kids downtown to feed the homeless. Boy did they love Maggie and Noah! It was a fun night!

Today Jeremy and Katiera and our nephew and niece came! It's so fun to have them here! They got her in time for a late dinner, so I cooked us up some spaghetti, and we had a fun evening together! Our new table was put to good use! It's fun to watch Maggie and Noah eat spaghetti! They're all staying in our apartment while they're here! They have already got out all of the toys we have. Baby Micah is a good sharer! Hopefully once he's actually here he'll be a good sharer too! =)

Another good day. Ryan set up our new table and when I got home it was there waiting! I love it! I spent the evening organizing things, or at least trying to organize things. It's hard with a lot of stuff in a little space for things not to be cluttered. Ryan played basketball tonight too and they won! He was happy! And he's busy working on missions stuff too tonight. We had a pretty good day though. It's fun to see how the Lord is leading our lives!
Tonight we layed in bed and watched the baby roll around in my tummy for a long time. He was moving around so much in there! My whole tummy would roll around! It's fun to watch! Only 7 more weeks!

Today was a tiring, but great, day! Ryan had to work, and Dad, Mom, and I went shopping. I broke our kitchen table chair last week, and my mom and dad bought us a new table! We love it! And I got a few new clothes from some birthday money too, and we did some other shopping. We were pretty much walking the whole day! My poor feet ached by the night! It was so fun though to spend time with mom and dad! And tonight we watched Ryan play basketball, which was also fun! They lost, but it was a really good game - the nail biting close type! And after his game we all went to dinner at Olive Garden. It really was just such a wonderful day! It felt like vacation!

Dad and Mom are here! They picked us up early for church this morning, and we all went together. It sure was good to see them! I ran a camera this morning for church, and I was so sleepy I almost fell asleep! I managed to get through though. After church we went to LaHacienda, a favorite place to go when family comes! And then we came home and rested and we played Farkle and The Magnificant, which are fun dice games! I never won, but it sure was fun to play!

Today Ryan and I spent doing work all day. I washed all the baby clothes, and our normal laundry, and I think I was folding laundry all day! I also made Ryan a rasberry pie, and washed the dishes, and cleaned. And Ryan worked on missions stuff all day. My mom and dad got into town late tonight, but they just went straight to their hotel because it was late. It's nice to know they're in town though! It's a stormy night! Ryan and I took a 30 minute break (the pie was going to be done in 30 minutes so we had to hurry!) to go to the store and get a battery backup because of the storms. It was a fun break!

Tonight we had dinner with Matt and Sukey, Ryan made fajitas! That's two nights in a row that Ryan made dinner! It was wonderful! He's such a good cook! We went downtown to feed the homeless tonight too, and boy was it coooold! It was a good night though. Today in school seemed a little long because we usually have parties on Fridays, but since we had one yesterday it seemed like the week should already be over. It was an okay day though.

Today Ryan got me tulips! They are beautiful red and yellow! They make our apartment look so bright and sunny! Valentine's is so fun! And tonight I had my first baby class! It was Basics of Baby Care, and it was very helpful! I learned a lot! I look forward to being in the hospital with the baby because I LOVE the ice that they have in haspitals! It's the best ice!
Ryan got his Bible rebound, and he got it back tonight, and he's so happy! For him it's like symboizing the end of seminary, and he's just so excited to have his newly bound Bible! It makes me happy that he's so happy!
Tomorrow's Valentine's Day!

Today is the official two month mark - two months til baby Flunker is due! That's very exciting! Ryan got to hold another baby tonight, and he came home so very excited! It was a good day. With Thursday being Valentine's Day, this is the best week! Ryan brought me 2 dozen roses to school today for my desk! They are beautiful and make me smile every time I look at them! I have the best husband! In case you didn't know, Ryan asked me to marry him 3 years ago on Valentine's Day, so it's a special time for us! Tonight we went on a walk with our friends Matt and Sukey too. What a wonderful day!

Today was a long day, and both Ryan and I were grumpy getting up in the morning. We went to church even earlier than normal (6:30) and we stayed all day because there was a deacon's ordination at night. I had a headache, which seems to be an everyday occurance now, for most of the day too. BUt at the end of the day, both Ryan and i decided that it had been a pretty good day that we got to spend together, even though at times we both were grumpy! Today I picked up some baby things that I had ordered, and when we got home tonight we opened them and played with them. We got a little umbrella stroller, and Ryan pushed it all around the apartment! It's so cute! He's so excited for the baby to come!

Today was a great day! I slept in, then I got up, then I took a nap! Ryan had to work in the morning. And let me just say that it is a BEAUTIFUL day! Yesterday was too! The most beauitful days of the year so far! Sunny and warm, but not too warm, just perfect! We went outside today and played football with Matt and Sukey. It was so very fun!

Today I had a doctor's appointment, and it went well. Baby's doing good! He's moving around a lot and his little heart is beating away! Tonight Ryan had to work, and I came home and cleaned and then i went swimming. It was nice because nobody was there but me! I did miss going downtown to feed the homeless though. I like to talk to the friends we've made there.

Today was a pretty good day! Tonight Ryan and I got pizza and watched the Gilmore Girls, so it was kinda like two date nights in a row! Of course, the rest of the evening we both spent working on things, Ryan had a paper to do and I worked on more addresses for raising support. I'm almost done though!

Today was a wonderful day! Well, it started out not the best, I was sooo tired this morning! I felt as though something sucked all of my energy out and there was none left! But Ryan called in the afternoon and said we are going on a date tonight! So that lifted my spirits! I had that to look forward to! So tonight when he got home we went on a date! We went to Applebees, and then we came home and watched movies. It was a very good evening! What a wonderful end to a day!

Today was the 100th day of school! I was thankful that the Lord gave me some extra energy to make it through the day! It was a fun day, full of 100s - 100 licks of a lollipop, 100 shakes of a milkshake, sitting still for 100 seconds, coloring as much as you can in 100 seconds, and much more! The kids were extra crazy from junk food! But it was a pretty good day. After school Ryan and I took a nap and relaxed. By the end of the day my feet hurt and I was exhausted!
In school we also did a long paper chain of 100 things we are thankful for. While the kids picked mostly things like animals and toys, it reminded me of how much I really have to be thankful for. The list would be never ending! The Lord has given us so very much!

This weekend has been really great! My dad anad brother are in Houston and I got to go visit them! I left Saturday after a Sip-and-See for my friend's baby, and drove 3 hours to Houston. I had a great time visiting them! I hung out with them and some people that they work with, who are wonderful people! We all went to dinner Saturday night at Salt Grass. If you've never been there, you should go! It's a great steak place! Today we hung out at one of their houses and I sat in on some of their business meetings.
I missed Ryan and wished he could've been there, so if was nice to get back home to him tonight. It sure was wonderful to see my dad and brother though! Hopefully they'll be able to visit again soon!
