It's true!!!

Well, everyone knows the news (well the few on blogspot). And now that everyone knows...they should know I'm not feeling so hot lately. I've had heartburn and just recently the morning sickness has started to kick in.

I'm fighting the urge to ralph but last night I had to sleep with the trash can next to the bed, just in case. Seems like it's the worst at night and early in the morning. I'm hoping this feeling goes away soon but I'm a little anxious about our New York trip on Thursday. We'll be flying and walking and touring and I'm hoping I'll be ok through it all. I don't want to be the "Debbie Downer" who doesn't feel well on the trip, especially because I've been looking forward to this trip for SO long!

I'll write and post pics when we return from our Fourth of July trip!

Eating better

Today at the grocery store, I tried to stay in the produce aisle as much as possible. I bought cucumbers, cantaloupes, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and salad mixes. I realize that I need to incorporate more fruits and veggies in my diet so tonight instead of the usual bowl of cereal, I made a delicious fruit salad. I was unable to get kiwi but it still turned out well. I served myself a bowl but before I did, I took a picture. Here's to healthy eating!

Please pray for Sasha

My friend Amy has a friend whose name is Sasha. Sasha suffered severe burns to her face, neck, arms, hands, shoulders and chest on May 29. Her and her husband were hosting a small dinner party with family. On top of their outdoor table, they had a fire bowl as a centerpiece. During the night, the fire bowl exploded and ignited Sasha.

Over the last week or so she has undergone an immense amount of pain, encountered pneumonia and will undergo surgery again on Friday for skin grafts on her arms and hands. Her first skin graft surgery on her neck went well; however, I was told today that the cleaning of her burns is more pain that anyone can imagine. Please keep her in your prayers daily. She, along with her supportive husband, need all of the prayers and thoughts possible.

You can follow her status at Support Sasha. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support!

Everything happens for a reason

First, let me warn you...I am upset right now.

I have yet to hear from "the company". However, I was informed yesterday that the position I've known about since stinkin April has been filled. On top of that, it was not to the person my VP expected. He promised me that if Person A got the job, then I would get Person A's position and it would be held for me until October. Well...doesn't look like that's going to happen anymore!

I'm just so sick of all the empty promises they've given. I understand that misfortunes happened along the way, but they really messed with my life plans and that's what frustrates me the most! I threw away my teaching ambitions for this company. And while I can still re-enroll in the teaching program, it's not the point. They wasted months of my life and left me hanging on by a thread.

Who knows though? It's like Mandy and Stacie say, everything happens for a reason. I know that. I just wish I knew why.

Two years

Well today was our two year anniversary. Andrew still had to work so we were limited on what we could do, but we made the most out of it. To start things off, I cooked us a lovely breakfast: omelette's with celery, tomatoes and cheese and bacon on the side. It was delicious!

Then we opened each other's cards and "oooed" and "awwwed" on how sweet they were. (Ok, well I was the only one that "oooed" and "awwwed" but he appreciated his card! lol) Then we enjoyed some of our fabulous, nicely decorated, high-end cookie cake. See below :)

The poor guy who wrote on it was so nervous. I told him it was no big deal ---it gave us a good laugh! Andrew's gift to me was a watch for everyday wear. I was really excited because I've been wanting a watch.

Then, because we hadn't had enough food in one day, we had a pretty good dinner later in the evening. We decided to go to Papasito's. Margaritas, queso, chips, fajitas, shrimp ---oh so good! Below is the plate I got (which I brought half of it home). It's called El Plato Mar. There were 4 shrimp enbrochette, chicken fajitas, pico de gallo, rice & beans. My tummy is beyond full right now. Doesn't it look good?

Overall it was a great day. Wish I could have spent more time with my hubby but the time we did spend together was great! And in case you're wondering, I did get Andrew a present but since he reads my blog ---I'm not telling what it is because he has yet to open it :)

Waiting patiently bites!

It has been over a month since this whole process started. My BIG secret is turning into a very LONG secret. Most of my friends know what's going on and they are eagerly awaiting more details as well as I.

I am still enjoying my time off though. I cut the backyard today. It sure did need it! The crazy thing is I just cut it last Tuesday so it hadn't even been a week since the last time it was mowed. I get a great workout from it which is nice.

Andrew & I have also gotten to enjoy some fun time. We went camping on Memorial Day weekend and had a blast with Sarah and Jonathan. We went to Lake Sommerville in Ledbetter, TX. It's about 3 hours Southeast from here. We had some very interesting camping neighbors. Between them, the continuous rain on the radar approaching and our leaking tent, we decided to pack up and head to a hotel in College Station. Margaritas, swimming and lots of laughs helped us to forget all about our camping excursion. The only time I rode my bike, was when we were leaving the hotel. Take a look at that and a couple others!
