Fly LADY!!

Here is what happen today in my life:

#1 - Our child is now 18 week developed!!!  YAY!!  Feeling great!  Still haven't felt any movement.... but soon I know I will

# 2 - I shined my sink!!  Which is step one in becoming a "fly lady".  I am on a mission to organize my home.  Not that its "THAT BAD" - but I am not naturally domestic.  I have to work at it.  I was referred to this website www.flylady.net and I am convinced it will change my life!  So there are these steps I will take every day to begin to form habits.... the first one is to shine my sink.... and I am going to make it a habit for every night!! I wonder what day 2 holds!! :) Wish me luck....

# 3 - Zoey did great today out of her crate, except she managed to completely destroy and eat a 300 dollar check we needed to deposit in the bank.... Honestly it was my fault for having it close enough for her to get....

Oh well.

17 Weeks

HELLO 17 WEEKS!!  So far, this has been the week where I have felt 100% all of the time.  No morning sickness, no headaches, just enjoying pregnancy.  Message to the baby "I LOVE YOU and I cannot wait to meet you".

We go back and forth on deciding whether or not we want to find out the gender of our baby or not.... At first, I wanted to wait and Kevin wanted to know.... then I sold him on the fact that we need to be surprised and now - I WANT TO KNOW!!!!! SOO BAD! hahahaha!!  We turn 18 weeks on Wednesday and I am truly so excited.  Our big appointment is on 9/7 where we have the option to find out the gender.... I will letcha know....

I am feeling sort of nesty lately.... We are almost done with our living and dining room.... (technically, I heard you have a year to sort out your house with a first home so I don't feel bad that we are STILL not done).  We need a new TV stand for the living room - I am thinking a wood crafted TV stand.... I would like it before Thanksgiving.... that's the goal hahahaha!  Then the living room is DONE!! :) Oh wait we also need new couch pillows.... I will get there.... The dining room is done, except we need to fix the ceiling that we tore for the light fixture....

OH and big news on the Zoey front - she is completely OUT OF HER CRATE..... we have it for her if she wants it.... but she can be trusted out of her crate all day..... we started this weekend and continued it today at work - and she hasn't soiled in the house or destroyed anything.

XOXOXO

SOO It's Been a While....

BUT - hopefully it will be worth the wait.  Kevin and I found out roughly 6 weeks ago that we are EXPECTING!!!  Hagen Haven, will welcome with open & loving arms, our "baby H" in January 2013!  I am 11 weeks 1 day pregnant!!  The reason I haven't been on here so much is because I have had a tough time with morning sickness (ALL DAY LONG)!!  I have been exhausted and really just not up for ANYTHING....

I am starting to feel a little better and VERY excited to start sharing my experiences so far!

XOXO

EH

Been a While, Huh?

So I guess it's been a while, huh?  I feel as though I have been so busy lately, but I honestly cannot tell you what I have accomplished...

Well, I guess I spoke a little too soon - I ran a half marathon yesterday and it was fabulous.  WAY hot, but truly a great run!

I bought a new watch to track my runs and I will be able to post my progress as I get prepared for the Akron full marathon this September.

Still working on house projects...  Kevin and I are going to make three shadow boxes from scratch for behind our couch which I am very excited about!!  I will probably go get the materials later this week, closer to Friday!!  Grammy bought us this fabulous book from home depot about DIY projects and we pulled the idea and directions straight from the book... :) Hopefully they will be up soon....  My idea is to put a small vase with colorful flowers in each box along side a picture.... I cannot wait!!!

Also, this past weekend Kevin trimmed down our over-grown dogwood and we are ready to plant some annuals for the summer!!!  I went tonight with a very dear friend to pick them all out!!  I will post pictures as we get them planted :)  We do have a beautiful rose bush that blooms one rose at a time.... Kevin took a great picture and I will have him email it to me so I can post.

XOXO

PS - Zoey graduates puppy kindergarten tomorrow!!!

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day!!!!

XOXOXO

Zoey Pics :)

Zoey is doing so amazing, she is getting bigger every second!!!  We always say how funny it is that when people have children they always show off their pictures ALL the time, and since we don't have any children (yet) we are always showing off our first child hahaha (Zoester) so without further ado.......

Super Life!

Had a great day!  Ran 12 miles this morning!!  Then I went to Amish Country for some new spices :)

Found this video on one of my favorite blogs that I follow http://www.grannymountain.blogspot.com/

CANNOT WAIT FOR SUPER MOON!  What a SUPER LIFE!!!!

XOXOXOXO
