the necklace

love it.  u?

family and other stuff

I am happy to say that I am an aunt again for the 22nd time. 

I can't wait to meet you baby Orr.  Congrats Marla and Dave.

Oh, and we sold our house and put an offer on another!  We are happy and feel grateful that our lives are progressing.  A new house and new city means visitors (I hope.  HINT HINT)

That is my update for today.  Oh, and I am making a necklace from old broaches....it is almost done.  I will post a picture when it is finished.

words

I hate the word 'preggers'. 

I don't hate what it means, obviously, I just hate the word.  And yes, hate is a strong word.  And yes, I repeat, I hate the word preggers.

Just had to get that off my chest. 

head sizes

I need a favor. Please.

I am crocheting baby hats but I'm not sure what most head sizes are.

Can you please tell me how old your baby is and what their head circumference is. It might also help me to have the measurement of just the crown of their head. Then I can get an idea of average sizes. I'm sure I could find a sizing chart but I thought this would be interesting to find out and I needed to post something else anyway.

Thanks in advance for your help. And hey, you might just be rewarded for your efforts. Just saying.

Moving

Ah the joys of packing a house. Mike got a job (hip hip hooray!) so we are moving. I am transferring with my work which is a blessing.

A prayer has been answered. Thank goodness.

Joke for the day

Q: Where is the worst place to hide in the hospital?








A: The ICU :o)

inspiration

I just watched part of a video on YouTube about an amazing girl who has overcome so much. What an inspiration. I have been thinking about my sister JJ who had a horrific accident in November and has also overcome so much.

What a gracious Heavenly Father and kind brother Jesus Christ to allow these women to live with their families still. My thoughts and feelings tonight have been about how I need to appreciate what I have. I talked to another sister tonight and her situation in life to me seems like a dream. To her somedays, it is ordinary and the same. Interesting how that goes sometimes.

I had a wonderful experience at the Regina temple about a month ago. I received an answer to a prayer. Maybe not exactly what I wanted to feel but one I needed and one I appreciated and one I am trying to obey.

It is neat how such little accomplishments in life can make us so happy. I had to give myself a shot yesterday for the first time and I did it! I was so scared, but I did it, and it wasn't as hard as I was expecting. My husband was my cheering section while my shaky hands did what they should and I poked my self successfully.

As my cute 2 year old niece sang to me on the phone tonight..."the sun will come out tomorrow"
