Up with the sun, as usual :)
Both of the babies are sleeping. (Babies being baby cat Phoenix & baby dog Bella). Actually, I think baby in my belly is also sleeping. For once ;-)
I'm done with work now & it has been ok. It is nice to not have to go, of course, but I get kind of bored. It's funny-the other day there was this thing on TV that said "If you wait until you don't have anything to do, that won't ever happen in this day & age". I looked at Hubby & laughed because we both know that I have to MAKE myself get up & do things. I have nothing to do pretty much all day long. I am told I should appreciate it now because we're gonna have a baby soon & then everything changes.
It is amazing how few people say "everything changes for the good". Once you get pregnant, 90% what you hear about is all the negative things a baby brings. It used to really piss me off, but I've come to realize that the people who do nothing but complain about their children also have nothing nice to say about their spouses either or their job, so I am left with the conclusion that the problem lies with them & not their situation. I am quite content with my life-my husband, my job, my tiny apartment...so I assume I will be content with my daughter too. I'm not saying motherhood will be easy, but I have found very few things in life are easy (except my job, that was pretty easy peasy). I think Baby Girl will be more of a blessing than a drag no matter what anyone says. I ain't scared :)
Well, almost time for the Today Show. I actually have plans after lunch today! I'm excited. Me & my friend Kristin are running around the mall making returns & hanging out. Yay for good friends who will go with you to make your returns :)
Look forward to this warm weekend!

ba-zillion and ba-zillon details in my head
wow. who would have thought that getting pregnant, moving your husband across the country 3 weeks before you have a baby, & then moving yourself & that baby 2 weeks after she is born would be so stressful? :)
yes, I stay stressed. You know that feeling when you have too much to do in too little time? I have that feeling 24/7. THIS is very unusual for me. I am quite skilled at escaping reality most of the time. Not getting things done is kinda my thing...I just always figured life was worth more than worrying about everything & anything. But, I'm quickly realizing to seize responsibility or my life will be a wreck come April.
My husband leaves town for Oklahoma the end of March. When he leaves, he is taking just about everything we own with him. I will have a TV, a couch, a pot, a pan, the dog, & that's about it. Maybe I'll get to keep the microwave too...we'll have to see about that one. Baby Girl will hopefully be born on April 16th & Hubby will get a 4-day leave April 15-18th. I will stay in Hton for 2 weeks & then I'm off to Oklahoma myself. That's enough to stress anyone out right? Well, add working full-time, figuring out the best travel system, the best high chair, the best baby moniter, etc, spending time with everyone we love in a 300 mile radius, Hubby trying to write a Master's thesis, & having a big fat heavy belly making my back hurt & waking me up with heart burn 3 nights a week or so. OK, I'll stop. :)
But you see my point. I stay stressed. In church this morning there was that song that I love by Matt Redman that came from the book of Job. There is a part that goes "You give & take away, my heart will choose to say 'Blessed be the name of the Lord' ". So I feel like God is about to take all this stuff I love away. Stuff like family, stuff like my awesome amazing Bible study that I could not have stayed true to the Lord without, stuff like our wonderful apartment, & my great job. He gave it all to me & now He's going to take it away. So I have to CHOOSE to continue to praise Him & to say "Blessed be the name of the Lord". I want to. Not sure that I can, but I do want to. Of course, what God takes away I hope He will replace. Like, I am going to have a daughter. A beautiful daughter. Hubby & I are finally financially stable (thank you U.S. Army!). My husband is not being deployed...not yet at least. But for now, he's mine & he is staying with me. I may be leaving people I love, but I will still be loved. That is certainly a blessing.
So God is good in times of plenty & times of want. In times of sunshine & in times of pain. I won't act like I want to go to Oklahoma because I don't. But I do have hope that God will go with me. He will meet my needs & He will provide abundantly as He always has if I let Him. & I AM going to try to let Him :)

New Moon Premiere
I have SO much catching up to do! I just can't do it. Sorry.
Basically, we're pregnant, moving to Oklahoma in April/May until August, & then moving to only God knows where right now :) But I promise to keep you updated.
So, instead of trying to catch you up, I thought I would just post pictures from the New Moon Premiere, which was so FUN! I went with St. Mary's girls & really had a blast. I didn't get home until 3AM & wasn't even tired! I was, however, quite sleepy the next day :)
Oh yeah-I run with werewolves. Much more manly than pasty creatures who feast on animal blood. & I'm pretty convinced that if my man were a monster, he would definitely be a werewolf. (But I'm glad he's just human-plain humans are the best really)
Me, Dee, Margo, Kelly, Tiffany
Tiffany, Mary
Nick Megan Ashley
The Team Jacob's unite!! Betty, me, Margo. We were WAY outnumbered! Very few people have taste these days ;)
I think I love Dawn even more than I already did because of her face in this picture :)
See how close we were to the front of the line? That's dedication.
The whole gang! LOVE these girls!

Bella & Zoe
K, so much for catching up with vaca & the like. Today Bella got to play with her friend Zoe. They are so cute! Check it out.
This is Bella realizing that something in the bushes is moving...
It's Zoe the Tabby Cat!! yay!
Bella asks Zoe in dog language if she wants to play.
Zoe says, "No Way Jose"!!
Bella says, "I won't leave you alone until you play with me"
"BACK OFF Mutt-I will claw you!"
Bella finally resigns to just lay down near her :)
Friends at last.
This is the closest I could get Phoenix to the outside world
& then as soon as I turned my back this is where he ran to! He's such a wuss! (But he's my wuss & I love him)

Forks!
I am so sorry I've been MIA! Life tends to get in the way of my blogging :)
Anyway, so my goooaaalll is to post daily until I catch up. I have to finish vacation first....which leads us to Forks!!
Forks is so cool! Not really cool cuz it's a little teeny town without much going on but, I mean, it's Forks! We took a day trip down there from Seattle & had a TON of fun!
Here's some pics:
