Anticipation...

First off, let me say how much I loved all of your comments on my "progress" post. I'm so excited to have all of you behind me on all of this.

Secondly, I had a pretty good weekend. My amazingly sweet husband brought roses home on Friday. They are the hot pink ones! Sooo pretty. We went to dinner & a movie with some friends on Saturday night. We saw Couples Retreat! We loved it, it was really funny! On Sunday we went to church, & then afterwards I started making my first quilt!

All of this pales in comparison to the fact that we have our very first ultra sound tomorrow morning! While I haven't figured out how I'm going to drink 32oz of anything, manage to keep it down or not wet my pants yet, I'm so excited. We are going to see our baby for the very first time!

So if you happen to think about us tonight or tomorrow, just send out a little prayer for calm hearts & minds, I so desperately want everything to be okay.
Thank you!

Ready for the Weekend Recap?
I had a great one, & I hope all of you did too!
We went to a local high school football game Friday night, unfortunately they lost this one.
Much to the dismay of my husband & all of his former teammates....
I just love football season though.
High school games are so much fun!

On Sunday, My amazing husband bought me these!



Aren't they beautiful?
He buys me "just because" flowers sometimes & I absolutely love it.
He always brings them home in their original package & lets me arrange them, because he knows how much I enjoy doing it.
Naturally, I added the cute little black & white bow to go with the bright red flowers & If you know why, I'll love you forever.....

On Friday, I went over to my friend MC's house & painted these for her nursery!

(pardon the messy cardboard, they were still drying.)

They match her bedding. Aren't they adorable?
I have some cute white ribbon & bows that I am going to hang them on the wall over her crib with.
I'll be sure & post some pics of the finished product!

Now the moment we have all been waiting for.........
My wonderful husband & I will be watching Georgia vs. Arizona State

IN ATHENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Saturday, September 26th, 2009




I won some tickets on E-bay.
I was bidding on several different sets of tickets, & I didn't really care which ones I ended up with.
Telling him about them was the highlight of my weekend too. He was so thrilled.
I absolutely can.not.wait!
Can you tell how totally pumped I am about this?
I'm so so so excited!

Now to pick out the perfect dress....

Recap: Baby Shower & Diaper Cake

Mc's Baby Shower was yesterday!
She was thrilled, lots of people showed up & she got so many amazing things!
That little girl is going to be stylin'!
I didn't have my camera, so you guys will have to wait for the rest of the pictures, but in case you were wondering ( I know I was)....
my diaper cake was a big success.
Everybody really liked it!
That made me so happy. I'm always so worried about the things that I make, I guess because when you really put your heart into something it makes you more nervous if other people will like it....
Here it is again.




I hope all of you had an amazing weekend!

Weekend Recap!

I love my Husband, seriously, he is amazing! He took me to dinner & a movie friday night. We saw Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian! It was sooooooo good! I absolutely loved it! Saturday we just hung out & Atm went fishing with us that afternoon. We caught some nice fish too! Sunday we had church, this Sundays sermon was on raising children. It was really good! I really really enjoyed it. We took some friends out on the boat on sunday between services & had a lot of fun. They have the 2 cutest little girls, I love them! Then Sunday night we had The Lord's Supper & afterwards we went out with Scout & Atm.

AF showed up again sunday morning. grr. At first I though that I should be concerned but, it's been a month since the first period. The one in the middle was probably just a fluke thing because of the hormones. So Cycle #2 here we go.

Weekend Recap: Great Sermon & A Shopping Spree!!!!

The graduation was good....but long...very long!

I know the Class of '09 was so ready to be done....I know I was.

One question though...When did it become customary to have 12 speeches in one graduation??? There were 5 Valedictorians & 7 Salutatorians, is this normal? We had ONE class valedictorian, who gave one speech. Def. Not 12....but anyways.....

After graduation we went to the lake & stayed in the camper with Tiny & Mc. The boys got up & went fishing early, like 5 am. Mc & I definitely slept in. : ) They had to leave to go to a Soccer banquet and the crazy woman who own the campground won't allow people to be at the camper unless the "Original" renters are on the property...so dumb, they were coming back! So we packed up & went fishing the rest of the day. Ordered pizza & crashed on the couch. We watched the new Angelina Jolie movie "Wanted"...It was pretty strange & had more offensive language in it than I felt comfortable with. Oh well.

Sunday was awesome! Our pastor continued with his series on the family & today was the wives turn. He made a lot of good points about our responsibilities as wives & what our husbands desperately need from us....respect! He pointed out in Ephesians 5:22-33 where it says that Husbands are to love their wives as they would their own body, & that women were to respect their husbands. Yet sometimes, we like to think that their love should be unconditional towards us, but we don't have to respect them if they don't deserve it or have earned it. When in reality it's not conditional, just as their love for us shouldn't be. There was a ton more & if any of you would like to hear more about it, I can definitely send you my sermon notes! It really was great!

After Church, DH took me shopping! I love him!!!! Atm, Mc & Tiny all came with us too. Atm is one of my very best friends, her Dh, (we'll call him Scout) is out of town a lot for work.

James started this new thing that we do now, which I find really cool. We walk through a store & I pick out a bunch of stuff that I like & he walks around & picks out a bunch of stuff that he likes or thinks would look good on me as well. We go in the dressing room & I then have to try everything on, without looking at the price tag! Then whatever we decide that we like, he goes & pays for. This is absolutely awesome for me, because I love to shop, but hate spending money! I seriously can talk myself out of something I really need, just because I think I might could find something cheaper. He knows that about me & this way I have no guilt whatsoever, have the clothes I need & he never complains about how much it cost because not only was he involved in the picking out process, he was the one that bought it all...It's a-ma-zing!!! I will post pics of all my new goodies later!

We had our Monthly Church Community Connection last night at the park & it was so much fun! We grilled & had a great time. Afterwards Atm & Scout came over & the boys played the wii, while Atm & I picked out hairstyles, cause she was going to get her hair done today!

We had a pretty awesome weekend. I love my life!

Bible Verse Of The Day!

However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Eph. 5:33

Pippy's Perspective: We should respect our husbands, not for what they do for us, but because of what they are to us. They are the head & we are the body. God didn't call us to be equal parts, he told us to be one with each other. We should try to be the best example of Christ & the Chruch that we can be!
