Spring is for new beginnings

As spring has yet to fully set in....I can still sit here and ponder at the wonderful blessings God has given us.



A week ago I was holding my stomach pleading for a break from sickness.

And God delivered.

Each day this week I have gotten more and more time where I feel more like myself!  Yes, at first I was concerned about my baby, but I still have moments that remind me I'm still pregnant.  And I thank the Lord.


Like yesterday I ate my chocolate bunny my mom forgot to give us on Easter.  yumm!

I've done laundry, fed myself, and taken care of my baby girl without feeling icky.
It's like a spring feeling!  I just pray it can continue to stay this way! :)

Sunday I will be celebrating my 25th birthday!  Can't believe it's already here!  I'm so glad it's finally May!  It will be fun to (some day) take Ellie outside and on more walks.

Jon and I are also in the process of trying to purchase a house.  I can't say much about it right now until everything goes through.  But we're excited about this next step in our lives together!  It will be quite the year for sure!  If you have any tips about purchasing a house for the first time, updating, etc just let me know! :)  I'm excited to make a house ours.  There's just something about it.  I haven't been able to pick my own paint colors for walls.  EVER.  I am SO excited!! :) :)

And I'm sure you knew our sweet Ellie will be seven months old tomorrow.  She is really started to move!  I have to keep my eye on her.  (Another blessing that this didn't start until now rather than five weeks ago!)  She is really moving and figuring out how to get from one side of the room to the other!


Above is a picture of my couch with my prego needs on the table.  I usually have a blanket out with toys on it for Ellie to play with, but she's past that now!  She's all over the place so the blanket is useless now!  That turtle cracks me up!  She was playing with it and then she moves way over to the table to the right of the couch and tries to play with those cords.  So I move her back and she makes her way to that recliner (front right in the picture).  That silly girl!  There's more toys for her to play with but they always get spread out around the room.  She's quite the sweetie!

Well, that's all for now.  Some time soon I'll make a post about my sweet, 7 month old and how she has grown!  Until then, drinking some lemonade and finishing off whatever food I can find. :)

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
