Long time no write...

So now that I have the house to myself I think I will take the time to update....some.

So as I have posted on the Family reunion blog, I'm pregnant! I'm super excited and have been waiting a long time. I'm due July 13th. I'm excited because my sister is pregnant too and visiting from Ohio this month and has invited me to come to her home birth at the end of February. So I finally get to see a birth before my own. If anyone has any advice for me oh how to better assist her while I'm there, I would appreciate it.

I'm still working with the Glencoe Dance team and loving it. We have finished our fall competitions and have moved in to state season. I'm really excited this year to see my vision come to life. Yes, MY vision. I didn't think any of my ideas would be taken seriously for a while. But collaborating ideas with the rest of the coaches, they all agreed and really liked my idea. So I'm having two babies this coming year. I'll post the details of the show in a later post because there is a lot to explain.

My friend Karen has moved out of our down stairs room this weekend. She was here for about 3-4 months with her 2 year old daughter till she could get back on her feet and figure how what she wanted to do from here. It was at times a little stressful having 3 families living here, and now it will hopefully go back to normal.

Let's see what else.....

Our chickens are taking the cold weather very personally. I get maybe one egg a day from the chicken I didn't expect it from. The water keeps freezing over so I hope they get some water between the time I get out there and break it and when it freezes over again. I think I just need to move the heat lamp a little closer to the dish.

I haven't been as crafty lately but I still want to post the things I have made. It's fun because I'm learning from my many mistakes but I think I'm getting better. My latest creation was fun but hard and I messed up a few places but I think it turned out really well for coming out of my head. Usually when I think of something cool to make, and try to make it, doesn't turn out a think like I thought it would. "it was way cuter in my head" but with that, I'm figuring out how to better replicate my ideas into material things the more trial and mostly error.

Timmy, the love of my life, is the sweetest father to be. He is so excited to have a child together and sometime says the most gooey sweet things. We had a rough patch earlier this year that has made him the most loving and compassionate person, and a really great husband. He will wait on me if I ask him to, clean up when I don't have the energy, get me a bowl of cereal at 2 in the morning. I truly do Love him.
