I really don't update this as much as I should so here is what is going on in our lives.
Jeff and I are expecting our first baby. We find out in about two weeks what we are having. We are both excited about the new addition to our family. I have had a pretty good pregnancy. I wasn't too sick and am past that part. I never threw up just was sick to my stomach. I have had a few colds but nothing that has been bad.
Jeff is busy with work and is coming to the end of the project he is working on. He works a lot right now because they have only two weeks until they have to be done with the video game they are working on. He is busy but still finds time to spend with me which is great.
Things in life are pretty good and we can't complain. We are just patiently waiting for this little baby to arrive.

Happier note
On a more happier note Jeff and I are expecting our first baby!! I am due September 10th!
Frustrating....
I know its been a long time but I need to vent and this seems the best place to do it.
I am so frustrated right now. I have given my advice or words of caution several times now and it seems to not have any weight at all. I have mentioned time and time again my feelings for them to only be ignored. (I guess I should get used to it for when my children are older) I feel like its completely different when it comes to me and situations than this person. Its SO unbelievably frustrating.
As a woman you know when intentions, feelings, or actions mean more than what another woman might say. I know because I have been there before, for instance just because a woman says she is happily married doesn't mean she is. (Not to be confused I am VERY happily married) You can tell when a woman looks at another man and there is something more... especially when you are close to that individual.
I have mentioned several things to this person and come to find out it, from my point of view, my feelings, words of caution, mean nothing. That, in a sense, I was wrong about my assumptions. GRRRRRRRR so very frustrating that I just want to smack some sense into this individual and say "Duh!!! Hello can you not see this????"
GRRRRRRRRRRR

Being different just to be different.
I don't understand why there are so many people that refuse to read books like Harry Potter or Twilight for that matter. The most I can get out of anyone is that they don't want to read it just because its "the cool thing" or the "most popular" thing.
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! Its like saying I'm not going to be Mormon just because everyone is so excited about being Mormon and thinks it so great. That is part of the reason we share the gospel. Because its a good thing. I am in no way saying that Harry Potter and Twilight are better than religion or that everyone should read those books or see the movies.
When you think about other movies like Batman, Transformers, or any other sell out popular movie you don't hear anyone complain and say "I'm not going to see it because I made a promise to myself that I wasn't going to see it because everyone else absolutely loves it and thinks its so good."
Granted I don't think that the Harry Potter movies are that great or Twilight. But I do like the books and have read them several times. Movies just really are never the same as the books but they can be as entertaining. But seriously what is with people just declaring they won't read a book or see a movie "just because".

Why should I have kids?
Other than the obvious religous reasons why should I or why would I want to have kids? This world is full of so much hate, garbage, and evil that I don't want to subject anyone else to the pure evil that is running around in this world. I know that there are special spirits waiting to be my children but at the same time I find it very hard to want to raise children in today's society.
We live in a world where more and more things are becoming normal and accepted. Until it was brought to my attention I didn't realize all the trash and garbage that is on TV, in movies, and in music. I was absolutly apalled when I found out that the movie industry can leagally put partial nudity in a PG rated movie. Even G rated movies now tend to make some kind of inappropriate comment. We live in a society where it is ok to take an 8 year old child to a PG-13 movie that has sexual and drug related content and references. But its OK because that child won't know what it means. I was sitting next to a child in the movie Transformers 2 and he couldn't have been more than 9. He was laughing at inappropriate comments because everyone else in the theater was laughing. I figured that he didn't know what he was laughing about and it made me sad.
We live in a society where pornography, violence sex, and drugs are becoming more and more ok. Where people choose to live in a virtual world instead of the real world. Because the real world won't/doesn't or they don't think people will accept them for who they are.
Satan is becoming more and more powerful by the day and it is sad that it takes so little now to corrupt someone. That even a "harmless" video game or movie can seem so funny and so hilarious when I know that if it were to have been released when I was young, let alone my parents, there would have been quite a few thousand people outraged by what people are trying to subject us to.
Maybe I am living in a sheltered world but things are worse now than when I was a child. Maybe I shouldn't let that influence my decision on whether I have children. I know that I, as a parent, can choose what I subject my children to; but even then that is only limited. And then you get criticized by others because you "shelter" your children. Because, as it was pointed out to me, most kids now have cell phones so how, as a parent, are you supposed to monitor who you children are talking to and what kind of person they are. Let alone who they are spending time with.
I have a fear that if I do have children that they will be very sheltered because I don't want them to know and be tempted by all the evil things in this world that are becoming more and more accepted.

Triple the fun.
This last Friday was a great evening. My husband and I had the great pleasure of watching our friends adorable triplet girls. They are becoming more and more social every time we see them. (They no longer cry when my husband enters the room.) We had a great time. After the girls finished their dinner we headed outside to play. We ran around the play ground, climbed the slide, played in the sandbox and ran down a very small hill with wagons in hand. It was tons of fun, and they never ran out of energy. We went back inside to get a quick drink when our friends returned from their evening out. All us girls went back outside for more fun on the play ground. While we were outside we saw a rabbit that lives in the bushes make its way out. We tried to get the girls to slowly and quietly walk up to the rabbit, but he ran back into the bushes. The girls went up and down the slide and had both Melissa and I climbing up and down with them. It's been a long time since I've climbed up a slide. We made our way over to the swings and I took turns with each of the girls swinging with me. The higher we climbed the more they laughed. We all sang Happy Birthday to Melissa. Each of the girls took turns blowing out the candle. When Chloe had her turn she sang a solo of Happy Birthday just for her mom. After the girls went to bed we played the greatest game ever...... WASHERS. I may not be very good, especially since I've only played twice. But needless to say it is the funnest game and Jeff and I both LOVE it!
Thank you so much for letting us watch your girls and a wonderful evening of fun!

Debt
What more can I say, debt sucks! I am amazed at the amount of money people, myself included, can spend when they don't actually have it. I am happy to say that hopefully (cross your fingers) Jeff and I will be out of debt by the end of the summer! Good news right?! Well then there are student loans. Where is our bail out for that? But debt aside I would have to say that life is great and wonderful and I couldn't be happier!
