Tonight, I am hosting a Pure Romance party at my house with my girlfriends! I am really looking forward to it. Having said that, I don't have much time to blog. We are expecting 13 (at last count). I have lots to get done before 5:30pm. I'm serving artichoke dip, hot bean dip, turkey and white bean chili, black bean soup, homemade Irish wheat bread, and chocolate chip cookie dough truffles. Then, the girl's are bringing "Sexy" food for a sexy food contest! It really should be a fun night we always remember ;)
I am officially finished with school. WHOO HOO!!!! It feels good to say that. Now, I am praying that I can find a job in January that will be ok with me only working around 15hrs a week. That way, I can keep cleaning houses as well. I took my final yesterday and after 6 years of college (and 3 degrees/certificates later--- an Associate of Science, a Massage Therapy certificate, and a Medical Language Specialist certificate!!!) I am so thankful to be done forever.
Everyone is finding out they are pregnant these days. I find myself getting SO excited for them. The excitement I feel is towards babies (I LOVE children!!!!) and also towards birth (I LOVE giving birth!!!). I want all mother's to have a great birth experience. The way I did. I want all mother's to feel confident in their bodies and to remember that God created our bodies to birth babies! I want mother's to get to experience the birth they want and the birth they deserve. I want to help educate and empower women. When I hear about a woman getting pregnant, it just furthers my desire to become a doula. I was planning on following through with those dreams in January. That was before Brent got laid off :( Now, I just don't think we can afford something like that. To want something so bad and not be able to do it is hard. I know the Lord is teaching me patience, yet again! Apparently, this is an area I really need to improve in. It stinks because I would have to do 3 births for free and now that everyone is pregnant is the perfect time to book those 3 births!!!! :( Oh well, all in the Lord's timeline, right?
Yesterday, I mentioned taking my final. That was an experience. I went to get all my things together and realized the USB plug, that all my documents are saved on, was missing. This is not something I EVER take out of the computer for this reason alone. My hubby gets it from time to time to put in his computer to save files on, but I have never moved it. I went to print off the documents I needed to turn in and asked Brent where it was. He didn't know. We spent an hour looking for it (and never found it!!!). I was sick thinking about the hard work I've put into this class and how I couldn't find my work on the last day of class. In desperation, I went to my school website where I turn my work in and was able to retrieve one of the (major) documents that was due, but that was it. I went to leave and my van wouldn't unlock. I knew the battery was dead. I went in and grabbed the truck keys. When I got home, Brent jumped it off (around 4pm) and left it running to charge the battery. The boys and I were in the shower around 7pm when I remembered he had cranked it. I meant to ask if he had turned it off, but forgot as soon as the thought floated through my head (that happens from time to time). This morning, I did a back and biceps workout in the basement and then headed outside to do some hill sprints up to the barn. I was on my 10th one when I caught the faint sound of The Ball Brother's. I stopped and listened. That is when I noticed smoke coming from the exhaust of my van. I was thinking, "NO WAY!!!!" I ran to my van and sure enough. It was still cranked. I opened up the door and a burst of HEAT hit me in the face and The Ball Brother's Christmas CD was blaring. I looked at the gas gauge. It had been 3/4 of the way full (a good $35 worth of gas) and it was now below E with the gas light on. Seriously??????? The whole way in I thought about how Brent could not make fun of me anymore (He always says I am a blond and do stupid things. This had to be a stupid thing if I've ever heard of one!!). I go and tell him and he says, "Well, if somebody hadn't left the interior light on we wouldn't be in this position. Not to mention, I told you to remind me to turn it off." I guess this was my stupidity ;)
Alright, enough blogging for today. I got to get busy and Webb is finally asleep!!! I hope you guys have a wonderful day :D
Blessings!
