The Perks of Pregnancy

13 Weeks and chuggin' along. Rubbing my belly and watching it grow as I eat nutritious, healthy foods and exercise daily. Picturing this miracle grow inside me that represents the love my husband and I share and imagining how perfect precious he or she will look..... *bursts bubble* And then reality hits. I grab a cheese danish, plop down on the couch in my pjs I've been in for two days, and watch another depressing episode of daytime television. Better drink water with this snack...makes it easier to come up later when the inevitable daily puke in the kitchen sink session starts. I'm sick daily. Yes, daily. Just barely out…

I now pronounce you…

The Turners! It's been three weeks and we are still going strong! Good sign, right?? What an amazing few weeks it's been. We have an awesome concert and unforgettable honeymoon to blog about soon, but nothing can overshadow the big day. I knew just as much as I was forcing time to fly by, the wedding day and events would go by just as fast. I remember heading to the ceremony wishing I could press a pause button for a day or so. Everything was so perfectly beautiful. Thunderstorms moved the ceremony inside, but considering our number of guests I think it turned out more intimate and special anyway. All…

A Sniper kind of love….

Our house has been floating in the clouds lately, and I'm soaking in every.single.bit of the joy I can. The stressful part of work is nearing an end. My students will finish testing next week and we can all breath a little easier and enjoy learning a bit more. :) SB's work is super busy right now, but he's gotten a promotion and a raise and he really does seem to love what he does.  And he's SO good at it. It makes me proud of him and motivates me to be more passionate about my job. Also, the wedding plans are pretty much complete! We are only five days…

Christmas is over! This time of year always seems to fly by so quickly. This has been the best holiday I've had in a few years...I had genuine holiday spirit! The house was crazy decorated, I shopped early, I listened to Christmas songs, and drove around looking for lights. Everyone was spoiled with presents and we got to spend some great time with family. Speaking of family...I am SO proud of my side this year! I have silently proclaimed myself as the new matriarch of this family and hosted dinner/presents at our house this year. We had a delicious meal, talked nicely, opened gifts, and ate brownies. ALL without the…

I feel like I am on a journey. a spiritual, growing up, peace finding journey. Actually...once I realized this, it became clear that I've been on this journey for almost a year now. At times it seems crazy to think about how much life has changed in the past few years, but when I look at the changes I smile. I used to constantly fight with myself between doing what's right...and doing what feels right.  I almost always did the latter even though I always knew better.  And I almost always felt the blow of consequences that followed. I was frequently frustrated...always confused with what I wanted. Now, for the…
