Thursday Thirteen~13 Things I Dislike About Flying

1. I think the plane's going down at any moment and I am going to wind up like the cast of Lost on some deserted island where no one can find me
2. The smell of the airplane gives me a headache
3. Taking off...I get a little woozy when the pressure changes
4. The cramped space that you have to sit in for the entire flight not wanting to get up to go to the bathroom because you don't want to climb over the ginormous man sitting next to you
5. Did I mentioned the bathrooms reek and are disgusting?
6. Going through security-I actually don't mind going through security. I do mind, however, all the morons who did not place there liquids in a zip lock baggie and keep all there jewelry and shoes on when going through the check point. Are they living under a rock? C'mon folks!
7. Delays-not just the delay of your flight but the fact that your flight is delayed and they never tell you why. Meanwhile you are just sitting there twiddling your thumbs in the wonderfully glorious airport.
8. Waiting for luggage. Mine always seems to be the last one out if I even get it at all.
9. People who bring a larger than life suitcase on-board thinking it's a carry-on. Then, we all have to wait while they store the thing below because it is to big to fit in the overhead compartments.
10. I am always hot in the airport and on the airplane!
11. The tiny cups that they serve your beverage in...sometimes they will give you the can with the cup but seriously, that cup is like a sip!
12. Is it just me or do you ever feel like everyone is breathing your air in an airplane. I'm surprised we don't run out up there!
13. However, after all this griping and complaining, there is a positive...the destination is usually always worth the trip!

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold

Monday Musings~You have been called...

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14 ...to pray. Meet our newest addition; baby Fish. I am officially 8 weeks four days pregnant! PRAISE GOD!!!! We saw our precious miracle today for the second time; heart flickering away on the monitor with little arm and leg buds beginning to form. The doctor gave us a great report telling us that everything looks perfect...can't get any better than that. God is so good to us. We are blessed beyond belief to experience the miracle of life once again. Please pray for our growing family and our precious growing angel. We feel the presence of God daily and welcome and need your prayers.
