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!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
