Domestic Housewife

Who knew staying home could be so great!! Last summer I didn't have a job - but I also didn't feel like a domestic housewife. Probably because we lived in an apartment and I didn't have a desire to do anything to that place! This year we have our home and I love working on it to help make it pretty!!! :)

John told me last night that if I ever quit my day job (teaching) that I could be a stay at home wife! :) He apparently enjoyed the fact that he's been getting home-cooked meals and a clean home! :) Now, I still have laundry to do....ugh...it never ends! But I have cleaned out our "nursery". It was our junk room but it's almost been turned in to a nursery! Even though we're not pregnant I am still working on it -- since I have time! :) Once it's cleaned out I'm going to peel the icky car wal-paper down and re-paint it (well, prime it - I can't paint it yet cuz I obviously don't know what color I want it). Right now it's painted a BRIGHT Pink (which I love) and a Blue....maybe twins - a boy and girl? I don't know. But it's going to go! :)

So we started a Thursday night Bible Study!! I love it!! I love getting together with people my age and discussing God. We watched "The Golden Compass" tonight. It was an interesting movie. It's really not bad if you don't think of it on a religion stand-point. However, apparently the author is an atheist and so he was writing it against Christianity. However, our group struggled finding where it was against Christianity. But we had some good Discussion with it.

Photo Time!

Three of the Girls in our Bible Study had a birthday within a week of each other! So they're blowing out their ONE candle! :)
The cake! Three cherry-limades for the three girls! :)

These are my cake-cookies I made for 3 of the girls who are in my Bible Study. After all that's what housewives do right? They bake! :)

I am REALLY loving life right now!! :) Thanks for sharing!

Love,

Not obsessing

Well, it's been a while. I think I was a bit disappointed in April when I wasn't pregnant so I just kind of left all this pregnant talk behind. My best friend is pregnant -- after trying for 1 month. But I still have to be happy because it is my Godchild growing in her belly. Though, I'll be honest I bawled when I read those words. It was very unexpected - like the noise that came out of me actually shocked me because it was so unexpected. But I'm happy for all my friends who are currently in a happy and healthy pregnancy! I would NEVER want anyone I love to have to go through what J and I are going through.

I just have to put this out there - for a minute ALL my t.v. shows had the main character getting pregnant; or someone pregnant. How annoying. Now, TWO of my shows have had miscarriages. I just cannot escape it!

I have stopped obsessing over getting pregnant. I honestly can't tell you my cycle and stuff anymore I just erased it from my mind. Instead, this summer I am obsessing over losing weight!! :) I bought an elliptical and I hope to lose 20 pounds or so this summer. That's going to be some tough work! Then in August I can resume the obsessing over pregnancy! LOL.

School has officially ended! I am glad to be done with this year! Though, I was surprised by my emotions on the last day. I actually teared up to see my kids leave! I really did tear up to see my Para leave. I'm going to miss her!

So, Since summer is here I am starting to plan camp again. Our campus pastor and I direct an American Baptist camp every summer. We got a lot accomplished today and I am excited for this year's camp once again!!!

Alright, that's all for now. I don't think my life is very entertaining! But I'll keep updating on my day to day adventure!! :)

Love,
J
