Lovin' life

About once a day I think to myself, I should blog about this...or that would make for a great blog... I should really write things down because when I finally find the time I rarely remember my great blogging idea.  I just put Gwyn down and Nate's asleep so the house is pretty quite :) Last weekend was the Home and Garden Show. It was awesome!! This was our first year for a booth and we were a hit! Gwyn came with Nate and I Thursday night to set up the booth and we spent the rest of the weekend mingling and showing off AMFAM...Saturday was also our annual GNO (girls night out) with the Leavitt ladies!! We had a blast!! We woke up super early and spent the day shopping, talking, eating, laughing, and just hanging out.  It's our annual trip to the Lynnwood Embassy Suites and we love their free happy hour munchies and drinks....it's worth the trip just for that in and of itself!  Gwyn LOVED every minute of it! She hardly napped the entire day on Saturday (I'm sure she thought she would miss something if she fell asleep) and she finally fell asleep at 1:30am...we all then got up at 7am to start the new day.  I rushed back from Lynnwood to the work the last shift of the Home Show and clean up.  I talked to Nate that night and he asked me what the heck I did to Gwyn because she basically slept the entire time I was at the Home show :) She's one social little peanut!

Today Gwyn and I went to play with a friend of ours we've been meaning to go visit.  They had their daughter 6 weeks before miss Gwyn was born and we had yet to go over there and meet their little one! They live out in Birch Bay so we were able to go walk along the beach and enjoy the seagulls! It wasn't very sunny today so we stayed snuggled up inside and played on the floor! Great fun :)

We're looking forward to Auntie April and Auntie Amy coming for a visit this next week...cousin Briana is going to stay with Nate and I and practice her babysitting skills!  In all life is good and Nathan and I are soo very blessed to have such a happy healthy baby! Thank you Lord for your many blessings!!

20th Anniversary

Crazy to think it's been 20 years since we said our vows on that stormy rainy day in March.  This year we had plans to get a hotel in Lynnwood and galavant around Seattle for a few days. We ended up going to Herb Niemans on our anniversary, then to Boundary Bay for lunch the next day and we finished our anniversary weekend kidless in lynden. Amy & Bri ended up coming up and spending two days with mom. Saturday we left for the dahlia tuber sale then to El Suentio Brewery for lunch, a brisk walk in the cold wind out at birch bay and then a drink @ The Mill and dinner at Nami sushi. Our anniversary was filled with love and togetherness. We are so spoiled.

Gestational diabetes

Two weeks ago I took the one hour glucose test and failed it so I had to go due the dreaded 3 hour fasting glucose test.  It's horribly awful. You drink 100 milligrams of sugar on a fasting stomach and then get poked times to test you blood glucose levels.  Since I was positive for GD with Gwyn I went straight to the 3 hour test with Gabby and passed!  I was feeling pretty confident that I'd pass this time and I DID hallelujah!  All my numbers came back within range. I'm still keeping a close eye on my carb/sugar intake as I know how that can pack on the pounds for both baby and me.  So far I'm up 8 pounds. I was hoping to only gain ten thus whole pregnancy and that's still my goal.  I was 10 lbs heavier than I was when I got pregnant with Gabby and I gained 20 lbs with her so I figure that it's only appropriate that I keep my total gain to ten.  MUST KEEP COUNTING CALORIES. Ugh.  I don't find it easy like other women to loose wait after baby. If ...

Down time

All my life I've kept busy. I'm a busy person. I feel more at peace when I'm busy. The one downside to the consitency that is busyness is that often random thoughts will enter my mind about projects, bills, fundraisers, events, aka..other things I could be doing with my time. As quickly as I think of the ideas its on it's way to lala land....I started keeping a journal when I was in college so that whenever one of those ideas would enter my mind I could capture it. My "to do" journal is full of these fun ideas. Right now in my life I have a whole lot of free time that I don't know what to do with and where or where could my journal be...??? I can't find it. I feel lost without it. I have all this time now and I don't know what to do with myself. Before I know it I will be so busy with the agency I wont even have time to write. So I sit here (keeping myself busy) hoping that some of those glorious thoughts will enter my mind. Once I re...
