Life is Beautiful!

Life has been pretty crazy lately. There has been so much going on and so much to do that it seems hard to keep up with everything. It has been a while since I posted so let me talk about my baby shower that I had on November 8th. It was hosted by my mom, Megan, and Pam. They did an awesome job with everything from the food to the decorations. There were tons of people there. I think I had to write out a total of 37 thank you cards (which I am still working on). I got tons of stuff for Samantha. Everything was adorable! Also on the 8th was the start of childbirth class. It goes for 5 weeks. It is on Sunday from 6:30 to 9:15 and the class is jam pack for the whole time with information. There was so much that I didn't know and I am glad that we spent the money to take the class. I was actually quite surprised because 3 couples in the class are from Woodville, what is the odds of that. Then there is one couple from Woodbury who is completely snobby and 2 couples from Hudson. There was suppose to be a teen couple as well but they never showed. I haven't been going to Mondays lately either. I have been just too tired with staying out late on Sundays. Everyday I go home, make dinner if it is my turn :), and sit on the couch. I don't move for anything unless I have to go to the bathroom. Brad is pretty wonderful about getting stuff for me and he does it all with a smile most of the time! The back is gets pretty unbearable some days that I could just cry. The weakness is getting better to manage though! I have less than 9 weeks to go, if she comes on time. statistics show that they average first pregnancy is a week late. A WEEK.... I don't know if I can go an extra week with the back pain.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love decorating for it! I think it is my favorite holiday because it is the one between my two favorite seasons...fall and winter! Those seasons are just so pretty to look at! This year I reluctently gave up my annual Halloween party after much debate with Brad. He wanted me to do it since it is my favorite Holiday. He offered to help set up and clean up and deal with all the drunks in case I get to frustrated! I gave it up anyways. Luckily Josh and Lynsie are having one so I still get to at least participate in the celebration! This got me thinking though...I probably won't be having Halloween parties for several years. And I probably won't have my annual cabin-friend get away in August either. Why you ask so curiously...because I have a baby on the way and all those things will have to change! It is all for a good reason. She will be the highlight of Brad and mine's life! We will want to save our money for family getaways. Brad remembers all the time's he had those getaways with his family and my family goes up to the cabin several times in the summer. Those will be the things she remembers! I know that Brad and I will need time to ourselves, but then Grandma and Grandpa can watch Sammantha! And in a year or so my friends will be getting married and having babies themselves!

Daughters always ask their mom " How will I know when I meet the right one" and mom's always respond "You will just know" Now for those of you reading this blog I am going to share with you my secret of how you will know when you meet the "one".

I have been with Brad for over 6 years now and have been married for over 2. I didn't know instantly that he was the one I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. It took some time. It is not like an instant look across the room and you know. But here is what I do know about how you know when you meet the one.

There is one big thing that you know will tell you and several some things that reveal them selves over time to let you know. There are only three people in this world that I know would do anything, literally anything, to save my life...my Dad, my Mom and Brad. I honestly feel that if I was held hostage they would give their lives to save me. There aren't many people that you can say that about. I'm not saying that the rest of the people in my life don't love me with all their hearts. I'm just saying that if it came done to them living or me living what would they choose?

This is the main reason I feel so ridiculously safe with Brad.

The other reasons...
He will go done to the grocery store at 10:00pm and get you popsicles because you can't stop crying.
He always takes the window seat flying because it makes me nausea.
He lays on the couch with you when you are sick or pregnant and being extremely needy even though he is secretly in pain wanting to do anything else.
Thinks of your stubbornness* as an asset and not a flaw.
And
After six years of being together, every night he still asks for sex, thinks your sexy(even while pregnant), and kisses you good bye in the morning while you are half a sleep.

*I may be one of the most stubborn people you will know, but once I have my mind set on something that is the way it is. Once I believe you can do anything Brad, which I do, no one else can tell me different. And always know that I do believe that you can accomplist whatever you set you mind too!

I know, I know...it has been a long time since I posted anything to my blog. So what is new in my life. Lots I guess. Brad and I have done a lot around the house this month to prepare for the little one on the way. I finally finished painting the room and it looks wonderful. But no one can see it until it is completely finished. Brad is half way done with firring in the basement. He tore off the north and west side on the siding on the house and put tyvek and more insulation on the house and the had to put the siding back on. He added gutters the east and west on the house. All the while making sure that we get plenty off wood chopped and stacked in the basement. and I believe that he still has some chopping to do actually. We went through a lot of wood last year. This winter I am sure that we will go through even more. Ummm.. what else. Beginning of August went up to my parents cabin with all my friends and enjoyed it for the most part. Then i didn't see them again till this past Monday and found out they all went out with out even asking if I wanted to go. I know that I can't drink, I mean won't drink, while I am pregnant but I thought it would just be nice to be asked, after all I am their friend right. Got a shocker of a surprise this past weekend. A good shocker of a surprise. It will be just a matter of time until everyone knows. Been having lots of looking at all the baby stuff. Didn't realize I needed so much. We found a daycare we really like and at a decent price and then last night found out a friend of the family is starting a daycare and offered us an amazing deal that is hard to say no too. I think that highlights the majority of what has been going on. I know there has been more but i guess if you talk to me you know the rest!
