Moments before our baby....

Jon and I are spending as much time together as possible before this baby comes.  We know our time is limited before we come official forever parents.  Unfortunately I can't do everything I would like to do, thanks to the heat and everything else that comes along with pregnancy.  But I am fortunate to have a hubby willing to kick back and chill on the couch and kill bugs for me. :)

I'm working on learning the area and where everything we could ever want, so when I'm hauling a baby around it will be a lot less chaotic.

Friday afternoon we spent the time shopping the mall nearest to our apartment and enjoying each other's company.  Younkers was having a huge sale so we were delighted to get quality stuff at a decent amount. :)  We like to watch our money and love to save it for future spending.  However we're learning it is important to enjoy the blessings God provides for us.  That includes making our apartment both welcoming and inviting.

We're getting a new bedroom set so we needed to get new bedding.  I've learned that a huge comforter is just not the way to go, and dry cleaning only isn't as handy as it used to be (my dad owns one) since we're not as close to family anymore.  So I decided to go the direction of getting a quilt.  Jon and I picked one out that is a solid color and we can dress it up with pillows.  I'm quite excited to make the bed and see how it all looks.  Now we just have to wait for it to get here.
Here's a picture of our nice, new bedding that we got quality but on sale. :)  Hallelujah for yellow dot sale at Younkers!


Won't that bright green look great with some accent pillows and fun lamps?  I just CAN'T wait to finally start decorating this apartment!  We still have lots of organizing and unpacking to do since we are waiting for the rest of our furniture to get here.  I have kept my birthday money aside to decorate and have fun with the decorating!  I just can't wait!

But until then I will stay living in this nice 3-bedroom apartment with no bedroom furniture and my socks and underwear in a clean basket of clothes in the closet.  But I know until then I can stay cuddling with hubby and feeling baby kicks, knowing our sweet little one is growing and being quite silly I think!

Oh yeah, and that full sink of clean dishes my hubby was willing to wash yesterday. :)  Happy 4th of July week!  Looking forward to it!  Jon gets both Wednesday and Thursday off and we're so excited!!

I was raised by a strict purity culture, and my father is a narcissistic sex addict

  I would like to imagine life without hidden secrets or agendas.  If my desires could be brought to life my childhood would have been completely different.   ~~~~~ Until recently, I had never heard of the term "purity culture."  When I learned more about it, everything began to come clear to me.  The harsh feelings of betrayal stood out in my life countless times upon investing in space to process all the areas purity culture has entered into my way of thinking.  Purity culture is gender expectations based on a strict stereotype.  Men are expected to be strong, "masculine" leaders of the household, church, and society.  Women are expected to support them -- to be pretty, "feminine," sweet, supportive wives and mothers.  Before I go on into more detail, I can't help but notice things from that stereotype that has definite red flags.  Never once did it mention men are to be fathers, but it surely intended on making clear to state about women becoming su

Blog Party! :)

Image
Through Facebook I have found some more lovely blogs that I love to browse! :)  The ones with stories about their kiddos are fun and inspiring.  I also enjoy reading recipes and I'm thankful for those people out there showing me what to do in the kitchen!  I'm newly married (June 12, 2010) and figuring this all out.  I never enjoyed being in the kitchen that much growing up.  I was in charge of washing dishes, and looking at all those dishes being used........so I never spent a lot of time learning how to do things.  Now I regret it daily. But back to the Blog Party!  I'm a little late but now I'm healthy enough to answer the questions!! To start off, here's a little bit about myself.  I turn 23 on May 5th.  I share a birthday with my big sister and she will be thankful if I don't say how old she is turning (shh! we're seven years apart).  I posted not that long ago a list of 100 random things about me, so go read that if you're desperately wondering.

Bathroom Remodeling & stufffff

Image
Back in June 2013 when we bought the house we knew we were going to fix up the bathroom.  It didn't come with a shower, just a tub.  However we had to take down some tile to make that happen.  There wasn't the proper drywall surrounding the tub to prevent water damage.  Plus there was a window RIGHT in the middle of the exterior wall so we couldn't just easily put a shower in.  As time went on and washing paint brushes in that bathroom (who cares if we get paint in there?) Jon started to notice a leak.  So we stopped using that sink and figured there was more remodeling to do.  At that point we said....all or nothing. Issues in the bathroom/stuff that wasn't a big deal but wanted to change to make it our own: 1. No shower 2. Leaking sink faucet onto pipes. 3. Copper pipes (updated plumbing needed!) 4. Electrical updates desperately needed 5. Poor lighting (two can lights halfway down the wall only over sink is not well thought out) 6. Exterior Window 7. Vanity
