I'm thinking: that it's been a long time since I blogged.
I'm reading: nothing at the moment ... but I do have a few books that are waiting for me to find the time to read them. Shepherding a Child's Heart and Over the Counter Natural Cures are just two in the list.
I'm listening to: my favorite Pandora station - Adele. Currently playing is My Girl by Otis Redding. This station is weird cause it plays quite a range of musicians but I love it. For example now playing is Blessed Assurance by Third Day (LOVE THAT ONE) ... and now a Norah Jones song ... and now a Colbie Calliet song ... and now an Ingrid Michaelson song ... and now a Jack Johnson song ... and well you get the picture ... and clearly it takes me a long time to do this!! I'm also listening to the kids playing nearby.
I'm learning: that I need to be happy with my lot in life and not get so discouraged.

I'm watching: Jake and I watched the most recent Pirates of the Caribbean movie over the weekend. We also always watch The Office, Parks and Recreation, Parenthood and Psych if there is a new one.
I'm cooking: a roast chicken. It smells delicious and I hope Jake makes it home when it's time to carve it because I HATE doing that. =)
I'm buying/saving for: the next section to our Bible curriculum and a grain mill.
I'm thankful for: my family.
I'm creating: a few things for the reveal party this weekend.
I'm praying: for the health of this baby. God has blessed us with three beautiful and healthy children and I pray this one is as well.
I'm planning: a party for this weekend! A party where we get to find out what Baby #4 is and I'm so excited to share the news with our family and friends. =)
I'm looking forward to: Friday because that is the BIG ultrasound and I LOVE seeing the baby moving around especially their little legs. Also, on Friday we are having our first Supper for 6 dinner with two other lovely families in our church. And then of course on Saturday the BIG party! =)
This weekend: Jake sold the BMW that he's had since we were dating. :( We were both VERY sad by this but at the same time relieved to not have it hanging over us (and taking up room in our driveway). It's a fixer and Jake has fixed it many many times. We have a picture of the two of us standing in front of it when we were dating. I really wanted to take a picture of ALL of us before we sold it and I never got around to it. :( This weekend I got to hang out with the ladies in my family (my mom, sis and sis-in-law) plus a bunch of friends from "home". They all came up to celebrate my sister-in-law Sarah's b-day. First we went to a little hole-in-the-wall theatre to watch "Anne of Green Gables". It was very cute. I thought it was well done and wish I had taken the girls with me ... they would have loved it. After the play we went to the mall. My feet were VERY tired and I was VERY hungry. I managed to make it with those crazy shoppers and only spent $4. And then it was dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. YUM! All in all it was a lovely time and I was sad when everyone left to go home. It was nice having everyone come my way. On Sunday we went to our friend's house for a late lunch/early dinner. They just fixed up a super cute old house and she's crafty. Check out her blog here.
