Nope, no baby YET! I know we will be pregnant soon though :) My friend Kim had some coworkers that were getting rid of their baby stuff and was looking for a good home for it.... I was definitely up for giving the baby furniture a good home! So Kim met me at 8:45 and we hiked up to Plano to get the great stuff! We got a beautiful glider rocker, changing table, crib mattress (never used), and some other fun things. Now I cannot wait to be pregnant and have a baby to use this stuff! Thanks Kim for being amazing and sooooo helpful! I seriously think you should have another one so we can be pregnant together :)
I went to starbucks this afternoon for a delicious iced coffee (decaf in case I am pregnant), when I saw a dad with two little twin girls maybe two years old! It melted my heat! They were dressed alike and just the cutest girls ever :) I could totally have twins...hhhmmm..... :)

Bugs
I HATE BUGS!!!! If I knew the amount of bugs I would encounter in Texas before we moved here, I would have seriously reconsider!! Our first apartment was COVERED with cockroaches, I hated those guys before I even saw them in Texas, and let me tell you how much I despise those critters!! I cannot even kill them, I scream and jump when I see them, and would be much happier if they were never created....I really hate bugs!
Yesterday I was meeting my friend in a McDonald's parking lot to pick something up from her. We stood in the parking lot talking for a little but when I felt an itch on my leg. I was wearing linen bell bottom pants which are super comfy and so fun to wear! When I itched my leg I thought I felt something weird on my leg, but ignored it. A little bit later we are still talking and I feel something on my knee......I went to itch it and felt a bump inside my pants!!! I didn't freak out, just swatted my leg and figured whatever it was would fall out of my pants. So I hugged and said good bye to my friend and walked to my car.....I felt something on my right hip bone!!!! I instantly panicked!!! I grabbed my pant where the bug was and sat in my car trying to breathe and figure out what I was going to do. I could call Luke and have him come down and help me get this thing out of my pants, or I could just kill it (again) and it would fall out of my pants. As I was thinking about Luke laughing at me and refusing to save me from the bug, I decided I would see if I could kill it first, but...then I started thinking about what kind of bug it was.... what if it was a beetle.... then it's spiky legs would stick in me! What if it was a wasp, or bee...then it would sting me! What if it was a cockroach!!!! AAAHHHH, I could not handle watching a cockroach roll out of my pants. That was it! I was less then 5 minutes from home and surely I could handle driving home where Luke could help me. So I reached into my pocket and grabbed my hair elastic. I tied off the part of my pants that had the bug trapped in it. So now the bug is not touching me and it has it's own little pocket to stay until I could get help!
I started driving home and about half way there I heard the bug in my pants making noise! I could not pin point what the sounds was, but I stated to freak out even more! I turned the radio up louder and drove faster! When I got home, I ran into the house asked Luke to help me! I took my pants off as fast as I could, gave them to Luke and told him not to tell me what kind of bug it as or how big! I just wanted him to get rid of it! I heard Luke take the hair elastic off, open the front door and come back into the bedroom. I had to know...I didn't want to know....arg..... So I asked him " don't tell me if it was a cockroach, but was it big"? He said it was....then I asked him what it was..... turns out is was a big cricket! AAHHHHHHH!!!!! I had a cricket in my pants!!!

Fairy Tale Moments
Ok, I am a super geek I know, but this is what has been on my mind! Fairy Tales...... Maybe I am the only girl who does this, but ya know when you are watching a chick flick or you see a commercial with a guy and a girl and they are expressing their love, or saying sorry, or just caught up in embracing each other and there is sweet background music, and it makes you feel gushy inside or maybe tear up?!?!?! Ok, like I said maybe I am the only one. I used to find those moments in my life. I use to find those moments with God....where did they go?
I remember times during worship in church and I would get caught up in a song, with my eyes closed it seemed like I was the only one in the sanctuary singing to my God who is reaching directly into my heart, holding me and telling me the love He has for me........ Making me feel like I was having a fairy tale moment with the creator Himself! I miss that. How did I get so far away? Life is hard, but doing life without God is impossible!
I thought things were getting better, like I could finally come up for air, but little did I know that there was yet another storm when I came up. This one is bills.....Praise the Lord for an amazing job (that I would not trade for anything), and a summer baby sitting job that isn't really like baby sitting, more like hanging out and investing in little siblings in a niece or nephew :)..they are that great! We were hoping to really save a ton and had plans for this extra money, but oh no...you know where it is all going?!?!??! Miscarriage bills....awesome....... yup.....paying for something that I did not ask for, or want, something that would be totally different (or my attitude would be at least) if I actually got something out of this, not just heart ache and frustration! Grrr....
Like I said Praise the Lord that we can pay the bills and are fine...I need to change my attitude on that for sure! In the midst of all this life stuff, it would be nice to have a few fairy tale moments in there..... for real ones, not just ones you see on TV.

Ants
Last summer my balcony had three flower boxes, and a beautiful hanging plant! We went to Haiti and came to back to a very sad looking balcony with lots of brown dead plants :( This summer we are here and I decided to replant all my beautiful flowers! They are so pretty! Lots of purple! I have noticed a lot f red ants around, but didnot think anything of it, except that it is summer, and that brings all kinds of unwanted bugs!
This morning I went to water my beautiful flowers when Luke noticed a bunch of red ants running for their lives out of one of my flower boxes....I then went to get more water to dump in the box, and when I did that goodness....there were tons of ants coming out of every hole! They were every where! Then they were coming out holding their eggs, food, and finally the queen came out! Luke killed her! I couldn't believe it...it was really gross....so now I need to figure out how to keep ants from making their home in my flowers!!!
