Princess and the Pea

When Josh and I first got married, I used to almost brag about how I didn't sleep with a pillow. Maybe in my mind it compensated for the more high maintenance areas of my life. Well...as time went on I started sleeping with a pillow. Then another, and another....I think the current count is at 6. (I know I usually speak in hyperboles...but I really just went up to my bed and counted). You may ask why I might need so many pillows, really I don't know, but I like to make a sort of nest for my head to rest (love the rhyme). My behavior has since earned me the nickname "Princess and the Pea" from my adorable husband. I've been itching to make a quilt for myself and when I cam across this fabric, I HAD to order it for my very own quilt! I don't have all the fabrics from this collection yet (it's a little pricey), but eventually I would like to get all of them and begin my quilt! (FYI there are WAY more prints to the collection than I have on here. There is actually Far Far Away & Far Far Away II- both by Heather Ross) They even make flats that have these prints on them, but unfortunately they are only kid sizes and I wear an 8 :-( maybe one day they will make big kid sizes.

Hey, I just wanted to give people an update. At my 8 week appointment the Dr. noticed a cyst that he wanted a better look at. I went in for another utlrasound on Tuesday and there was no longer a heartbeat. While it is difficult, Josh and I are both doing fine. We know these things happen for a reason, and we are very confident about the future. Thanks for everyone's calls and prayers. It has made things a lot easier to handle.

In the mean time...while I was changing up our blog background I somehow deleted all of our Friends and Family Links. I managed to stalk/find some of you by googling your name (which has now made me SERIOUSLY think about going private) however, some of you were able to escape my secret ops mission. If you do not see your name on the sidebar, please leave a comment (I realize this is probably not a top pick post to comment on, but it can say nothing, or even "poop" if you really want) that way I can be sure to add it to the list and I'll be able to see your lovely blog. Thanks so much!!!

10th Street Field Trip

Erik and his friends wanted to go hike the caves at 10th street, and since I did that almost every week in high school, I decided to guide them on a little field trip. I think they really only invite me so I'll take pictures, but I like to think it's because I'm really cool. Here are some snap shots from our adventure!
