Honestly

September 15, 2010

So I have to be honest with you all and tell you that I really do love to blog. But I just can't seem to get my act together. I have so many things in my mind that I want to blog about but I am just finding it hard to get the time to do that. The worst part is that I don't even have the baby yet. I don't know how working women who have a husband and a kid or kids to look after do it! Last week I think we picked up dinner or ate cereal almost every night. This week I have been trying to be a little better but I will be honest, tonight we are having breakfast. Don't even get me started on the laundry and the cleaning. I have found myself wanting to buy more rugs just so that I can sweep the dirt under it. Working moms my hat goes off to you! You deserve much more that one special day a year. Thank you to all of you moms out there who have not lost it everyday due to all that you do.

So the other night when I was just too tired to even blink, I went to bed and read my little devotional book The Coffee Mom's Devotional by Celeste Palermo. Low and behold, it was about REST. It reminded me that no matter all that you get done in a day or don't get done in the end "He just wants our hearts". That is the most important thing. I have loved every chapter I read and encourage you to check it out.

With all the crazy hussle and bussle going on I have to talk about the blessing that God has poored onto Kevin and me. I was able to have two baby showers, one in SB and one up north. At those two showers I was blessed enough to have the women in my life who have encouraged me, supported me and loved me near me. I felt so touched and blessed by God to have such wonderful women in my life. Here are a couple of pictures from the showers.

Me and Kevin - He didn't come to the shower, but we were able to grab a quick photo before the shower.

On our way up to the baby shower last weekend we stopped by my brother and sister in law's house because they said they had a baby gift for us. Well let me tell you something, boy was I blown away. First of all, I have to tell you that my brother and sister in law were in San Salvador for 6 weeks. Then when they got back they were not able to move all of their stuff back into their apartment right away so they were still living out of their bags. They just got all of their stuff in on Sunday. So when Alyssa had time to make this gift I will never understand. She made Poppy a quilt! And it is perfect. This was her first quilt and after I opened it I told her that I felt I should be paying her for it. She did such a great job on it. This will be with Poppy his entire life. I can already see him going away to college and making sure he does not forget the blanket from Aunt Alyssa.


I know this was a long post and thanks for hanging in there with me. This week I hope to also get up some recent week photos.
