It’s Official: I’ve lost my mind

Crying…
Feeling Like I want to Chew Everyone’s Head Off, especially mine
Can’t sleep because of the never ending list in my head….
Feel like somehow I am not living up to people’s expectations, even though this one day should be a time and space to celebrate us
Being humbled by the words and prayers people have given me
Packing [...]

Only You

I am listening to this lovely worship anthem to Christ.
“Only You” by David Crowder.
There is nothing like worship surrounding you to remind you of the Power and Hope in Christ.
Take my heart, I Lay it down
At the feet of you whose crowned
Take my life, I’m letting go
I lift it upto You who’s throned
And I will [...]

I’m making Tim carry me over the threshold…

that is, if my parents don’t get to me first! Tomorrow I go up to Seattle to take the boxes out of the Maiden’s Cottage and sign the lease, and with my parents’ help, start to move into our marriage apartment! Tim will be working all day Friday in Vashon, so I won’t [...]

Where Have I Been?

So…this one may be a little deep.
Tonight I had a great half hour with Tim. It’s been a week since I’ve seen him, and slowly, since I’ve been graduated, I have been coming back to “focus” on him and on us. Really, I think that me being in school was no excuse. [...]

Breastmilk

I can smell it on me. And, no, I have not worked with breastfeeding women at the hospital. And, NO, I am not lactating.
However, last night Tim and I had a war of whipped cream. It was hilarious and we maintained purity… we just needed to mop the kitchen floor [...]

18 and counting!

I cried yesterday. If you ever want to watch a great show: watch “A Very Duggar Wedding” from TLC’s 18 and counting. http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/18-kids-and-counting/slideshows/josh-anna-big-announcement.html
Josh may be a bit of a pigheaded guy (can I say that without knowing him?)… but it’s still a sweet episode.
Love it.
Watch it.
Cry.
PS- whichever [...]

Ah…(if only it was) August!

So…
The tickets are booked!
A Three-Part honeymoon adventure awaits. 
First our lovely spot at this little oasis on the Oregon Coast http://www.archcapeinn.com/ 
Then, off to explore our adventurous side at this little place
Then off to wherever we will be living to finish off our honeymoon in our new home!
With all of this to say, thinking about the future [...]

I want to have a baby

Yes.  It’s true. 
Do you ever have those moments where you see a young, chubby-cheeked, cooing kid and think, “MMM…I need to get me some of that!”?  Ok…that sounded strange… but it’s true.
I think something that doen’t help this little craving I get every once in a while is that Tim wants kids even more than [...]

Story of my life: i should be studying :)

This will be a “random set of facts” for your reading pleasure :)
1) My favorite new quote from Tim: “Your kisses are so sweet I’m gonna get cavities!”  I was pretty sure he borrowed it from a first grader, but alas!  It was his own :)
2) Flowers
3) Cake
4) Bridesmaid Dresses (finally!)
5) Anniversary Surprise for some [...]

Ok, I’ll admit it

I am fully aware that I have 11 weeks until semi-freedom (once I am done with courses to study for the boards and then get the boards done, I will then be “done”)…
And I am SO thankful for this.
I have a great prof in one of my courses, a wonderful fiance who lives 5-10 minutes [...]
