Did I ever tell you all how hilarious I think it is that my son loves the song "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago. HAHA!! He sings to it. I don't know why, but I played it once and every time it comes on he belts it out....So funny..

In other news, has anyone watched Fireproof? It was such a good movie to me at least. Acting wasn't great, but the point was. My mom for Christmas gave us the Love Dare book. Well, it has a dare for every day just like the movie. Do you know it has been awesome. I've been doing it. It took me probably 4 days to get past day 1. HAHA! I did it though, and it has been great. I am on day 7 now. It's so funny. One of the questions was to ask your spouse 3 things that you do that bother him. HAHA....I'm laughing because I got so defensive JUST READING it. haha! And you also can't say anything negative to your spouse along with asking and cannot freak out..haha. So I ask Josh and the first thing he says is "Does it have to be just three?" With a big grin on his face. So What did I do? Besides hold MY MOUTH SHUT AND PUT THE PILLOW OVER MY HEAD because I could feel the sarcasm just dying to come out. Then I thought does it count if I say it to him in my head? But I have to say. The three things he told me were so insightful. I was able to really take what he said and go to God about it. It was amazing how much I heard from the Lord about those three things and how a lot of them were deep rooted issues that I've chosen to ignore. I was expecting him to say something like I don't make dinner on time or something, but no it was totally different. I was truly grateful.

Along with the Love Dare book I am reading The Power of a Praying Wife. Also another really good book. I am learning a lot about myself. I am learning that it is really hard for me to understand the concept of praying BEFORE I open my mouth :-) We're getting there....Not perfect yet. Especially since I had a meltdown last night because I made peppersteak and the brown rice came out a little mushy. You would have thought it was the end of my life. Hormones. What can I say? Anyway, hope everyone is having a great day!!!

Sometimes I wonder if I carry part of the baby in my face..hmm...I wonder...

Hooray!!! Back to computer world!!

So much has gone on in the past few weeks. We've had Josh's birthday, Valentines Day, my birthday, and lots of baby stuff going on!! Everything is going really well. I am SOOO ready to come home. Oklahoma is nice, but it is not home.

Josh is doing well, he is slightly (HUGELY) overwhelmed with his studying right now. I think he underestimates himself and is definitely his worst critic! I think he's doing a fantastic job. He is working hard and sleeping well...haha... I love him..

Samuel is doing really well also. So much has changed in him since I've been here. We've really been honing in on him listening to me. Cracking the whip so to speak. He is quickly learning how to listen and behave really well..As my new friend Elizabeth puts it, we are making it inconvenient for him to disobey! HAHA! I love that line... But it is the best way to put it. He's potty trained and even gets up through the night to go to the bathroom..my little old man..I love him too!

Pregnancy is..well pregnancy. I know a lot of moms talk about how they love being pregnant and that they feel the best when they are. Ya, not me. I have come to the conclusion that I do not care for being pregnant. I feel heavy, I am waddling, and my feet look like a bunch of sausages. But it's all for the greater good. I get a little baby out of all of this. I wish there were a way that I could have kids without getting huge pregnant and without actually pushing them out...Hmm....I know, not possible, but hopeful...

So there it is in a nutshell. I am going home in 2 weeks from tomorrow. HOORAY!! I miss my family SOOOO much..... Can't wait to see them all!! Pictures soon!

WRONG WAY!!


This is our porch outside!

Some fun outside!

Hey everyone!! Finally an update. We have been here for 3 weeks and we have 4 weeks left! Everything is still going well, it is getting a tiny bit lonely. I miss my family and not having the internet IS NOT cool. I really miss being in touch with everyone, but I will be home before I know it!

Josh is doing really well. He is studying a lot and is really sounding quite professional! I love it! He showed me how to land a plane in air traffic control terms. Totally confusing, but cute :-)

Samuel is doing great too! Potty training is going really well. Finally he is almost done, just having troule with the poopy part and sleeping through the night...It's ok, it's to be expected.

I am doing OK...I am tired of being pregnant and it is getting harder to get around. It is especially exhausting with Samuel. ALMOST THERE! The baby is super active which I am really happy to have. I would rather have an overly active baby in the belly than no movement at all.

We went through our first batch of tornados. 4 to be exact. We weren't really effected but, it was very apparent that I didn't know what to do, but thankfully I had my new friend here let me know what to do! haha! Bathroom and bathtub it is :-)

Anyway, I miss everyone and soon I will be home!!!

You all will not believe what happened. My internet is broken!!! So I have a minute now. Oklahoma is good. Josh is doing really well. Actually, Oklahoma is strange.....The weather is very up and down (not ideal for Samuel's asthma) but we are doing well. We have met some friends here Thank God! They are Christians and introduced us to a new church. God is good!! I can't write a lot right now, but when I get a chance, I will! Love you all!!

my big cute boy

Airplane!
