Spring Updates

I've been meaning to post more on my blog to keep my readers up to speed on life. However I was dealing with 24/7 morning sickness...and I don't think I need to go into much detail beyond that.  It's clear.  Going up the stairs made me throw up.  Eating too much made me feel worse.  It was all about balance.

But for some reason (thank you God and baby) these past couple days I've been starting to feel better.  I'm still feeling nauseous from time to time and a couch potato, but a LOT better than I was last week.  Getting Ellie up from her nap doesn't cause me to throw up.  (Nothing like having to stop nursing to throw up in your nearby garbage can!) Such a blessing this week for the break.  Thank you, Jesus.

During moments of needing to keep my mind off of sickness, I looked back on past posts I have made and noticed I need to continue the love story of Jon and I and how we came to this time in our life.  I need to talk about our proposal and on.  There's lots of things to include.  So let me get on that some time soon!

Until then know that we are enjoying our sweet Ellie.

I haven't been out of the house since Easter, so yeah over a month now.  I've been in pajamas (duh), not doing my hair (why would I?), and well sounds like a dog's life!?!  Except I don't go outside.

Here's some pictures from Easter.  I did post these up on Facebook not too long ago, but would love to update here as well.

My parents 

They are letting us live with them right now.  Which has been a blessing while we go through the process of buying our first home (Jon started his new job March 11th).  It was also an added bonus since we found out we were expecting and I would be able to get the extra help with Ellie and getting meals taken care of.  They have enjoyed having Ellie around and wish we would buy a house next door!

Our family with Jon's mom
It was a fun Easter.  My morning sickness started so it was very interesting.  However we told Jon's family that weekend.  It was pretty fun!  Easter was also the last day I was able to enjoy full meals.  But this time around (unlike Ellie's pregnancy) I made sure I took the time to enjoy the food and my ability to eat! :)

Thank you all for sticking around with me (us).  We are truly exited to meet this new little one!  We have quite the year ahead!

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
