I Love You, Nordies

Mmmmm...the scent of new clothes and all that is wonderful; my mecca...Nordstroms. I have a love for Nordies. My mom, sister, and I all worked there at one time. It is in our blood. I love that every Norstroms smells the same and that I can easily find my way around any of them no matter where they are. Just when I thought I couldn't fall more deeply in love with this infamous place, I did. Let me explain.

I love the holiday season. I love Fall, the cooler weather, and celebrating each holiday individually. The season comes and passes so quickly! For this reason, I like to savor each moment, each holiday; especially now that I have a child. However, it seems that everywhere and everyone else wants to rush to Christmas. Nevermind Thanksgiving and turkey and being grateful. Oh no. It's all about how much we can get the consumer to spend on various Christmas items. Well, I have found that as many stores and families began preparing for Christmas back in August, Nordstroms was different. I went to may favorite place yesterday and as I walked out I read a wonderfully glorious sign on their window. It read, "We are decking our halls November 28th. We like to celebrate one holiday at a time." As if I couldn't love Nordies any more! Thank you, Nordstrom, for taking your time and not rushing us all through this beautiful season. Now we can all take a breath, sit back, and enjoy!

Good for them!!!!!! I hated the fact that I went to a few sotres the day after Halloween and they had all thier Christmas stuff up. I guess that is what happens when you celebrate the Holidays instead of Thanksgiving and Christmas,or Hanukkah....by themselves.

I love that Nordstroms doesn't decorate for Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving. I couldn't believe how many stores I walked into on Nov 1st that had decked their halls a month too early!

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.
