TGI Friday

Trusting- that God is always at work all around me and that every good and perfect thing comes from Him.

Grateful- for an amazing birthday getaway with my husband. It was so refreshing and a great way to start of my 29th year!

Inspired- to get back on track with healthy eating! We haven't been doing horrible but I am ready to add some new recipes to our weekly menu and make the most of our calories.

Favorite- thing right now- Emersyn's ever expanding vocabulary. She is saying more and more new words every day. She says, "Elno" for Elmo and has started calling her cousin by her name, "Annbell" (Annabel). She says car, cracker, yes, apple, light, baby....the list is growing. It is PRECIOUS.

Random- we bought Emersyn a potty today. :) Brett was asking her if she wanted to go on the potty like a big girl and she said yes so we decided to get one. $10 at Babies'R'Us. Score! :)

Interested- in learning more about apple cider vinegar and it's benefits that I keep hearing about.

Dreaming- of babies....STILL! Same as last week. :) I saw a 7 week old today at a cafe and my arms ached to hold her. Luckily several friends of mine are expecting babies, I will have to get my baby fix through them for now!! :)

Admiring- my amazing husband for being such a hard worker, loving daddy, and supportive spouse. Our getaway definitely was such a reminder of why I married him....we have SO much fun together!!!

Yay- for a fun weekend ahead! Tomorrow Emersyn and I are going to run some errands, and then we have a baby shower to go to! Sunday is the SuperBowl which is fun too.

Happy Friday everyone!!

Trusting- in this verse: "Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:18

Grateful- for the simplest things in life like having clean water. Thinking of all that the people of Haiti are going through right now makes me not want to take anything for granted and intercede for such a devastated nation.

Inspired- by my friend Wendy who never ceases to amaze me with her sensitive heart towards those who need Jesus in their lives!

Favorite- fruit right now- pomegranate!!! DELISH. A resident at Brett's work gave him two and when I came home, Brett had gotten all the seeds out of it which is the hard part. Emersyn loved it too!

Random- I am watching Julie & Julia right now and it's making me SO hungry. All of the food looks SO delicious but it is all bathed in butter. If I could choose anything to eat right now, it would be the bruschetta that Julie just made on the buttered toast.....my stomach is growling. :)

Interested- in finding more low calorie delicious dinners. I am particularly interested in meals that I could make a freeze, like a lasagna!

Dreaming- of babies. Refer to my earlier post this week, hee hee. :)

Admiring- my friend Vanessa for taking on the Project 365 challenge!!! I think I would be more apt to doing this if I had a camera phone but alas, I do not (yet). I think I am getting an iPhone but I am procrastinating because I don't want to pay for the data plan. Ugh. But back to Vanessa, I really do admire her for taking on the challenge AND for being such a great woman, mother and friend!!

Yay- for an extra day off with Brett on Monday!!! Thinking we might need to go on a date....what do you think?? :)
