• Monday, May 1, 2006 - Wonderful, Wonderful Week

Hmm, seems like my days are always wonderful right now.  I love being married, I love being pregnant, I love living with all the animals, I love reading my Bible and all the wonderful things that jump out at me, I love life.  I really do.  I know it won't always be roses, but but I think that for the time being I am just living in a thorn-free rose bush.  God is so good, to him be the glory.  I really can't thank him enough, he cares for me and gives me things so different from what I truly deserve. Well, what has happened since the last update?  Chris bought a few more guns, including a .22 rifle that seems just made for shooting blackbirds.  Over the weekend he has killed a lot, and I really don't feel bad because they'll mess with the orchard.  At least as many as there are around here.  He's only missed about 5 shots so far with this rifle. We went up to the midwife's on Saturday for our 28-week appointment, and spent a wonderful day together.  Everything is going well with the pregnancy, even though I'm starting to have a LOT of heartburn.   She estimate's the baby's current weight at 3+ pounds, and says everything is going so well that we can stay with 3 weeks between appointments, even though she usually wants couples to come more often at this point.  It seems the longer I'm pregnant, the more energy I get.  I love it! After the appointment, Chris and I hit a few thrift stores looking for more maternity clothes for me.  Found some nice things, and the most beautiful, lightweight knit baby blanket. THen it was on to the Citadel Mall so that Chris could get his dose of Chick-Fil-A, and I could get my Auntie Anne's pretzels.   Back in Pennsylvania they are EVERYWHERE, but here the Citadel contains the only ones I know of. And of course, I have to share my wonderful news.  Last summer, my sister introduced me to a absolutely lovely scent that Bath and Body Works had introduced for the summer, a strawberry scent.  I really liked it, and got a bottle of the body splash.  As time wore on I liked it more and more, so I went back to get more.  Lo and behold, the line had already been discontinued for the season.  There are very few scents I will wear and really enjoy, and that was one of them.  Not to mention that Chris just loves the stuff.  So I have been carefully hoarding my bottle.  Well, while at the mall, then Chris saw that they were having a big sale, and since I am going through lotion at an alarming rate these days, we went in.  And foudn out they are bringing the scent back out next week!  Yes!  So I got some of their wonderful, wonderful body cream in the only other two scents I really enjoy (vanilla and coconut lime) and we are DEFINITELY going back next time we're in the Springs for some strawberry.  I know this seems small, but a lot of scents in lotions and stuff really annoy me, and then there's those select few that I just love and they always make me feel relaxed, or energized, as the case my be. It seems my dear, dear goose has disappeared.  Which is surprising because I can't imagine him leaving Shiloh unless he's dead somewhere.  But no one has seen him now for almost a week!  I'll keep you posted on this tragedy.  And no, I PROMISE I did not behead him in secret and am pretending he is lost.  I really don't know what happened to him, and I'm TRYING to feel sad, so give me a chance, ok? Well, I have a lot of chores to get to, such as cleaning out lilac bushes and watering peach trees and vacumning my house and running laundry....  You get the picture.  Be sure and tell me how much you miss me!
