We did it!

After 6 weeks, we finally moved into our new home last night! This house has been all-consuming, but it is finally beautiful and live-able. As a person who is notoriously bad with change, the long process of renovating has helped me adjust to the idea of living in a new place. I am so thankful for the process we've been through; while it has been super stressful at times, and rather expensive, it has allowed me to fall in love our new home and watch it become our's. Last night, around midnight, we realized that we had forgotten one very important item on our move - the dog! Poor Annie! She was still at our "old" house probably wondering what in the world was going on! Matt went back to take care of her, while I enjoyed some alone time in our home. I turned on a lamp in baby girl's room, played some PraiseBaby music, and cried my eyes out! Tears of relief, exhaustion, joy, and anticipation. I've been writing letters to our baby throughout the past 9 months, and last night I finally got to tell her that we were home. I am so humbled and honored by the journey that God had put us on and by the protection, peace, and mercy He's given along the way. We are truly in the midst of an amazing, challenging and wonderful time in our lives.

I'm 11 days away from my due date today. But after Monday's prenatal visit, we are expecting baby girl to arrive any day now! I'm 3-4 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced so it can happen at anytime!!!

Please be in prayer for us. We're exhausted, surrounded by boxes, and ready for her to come! Please pray for a safe and easy delivery. We'll be posting lots of pictures so be sure to check back often!

Oh, our lives are about to be changed forever!

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
