A Sunday Drive

I woke up from a nap this afternoon SO GRUMPY! I was more tired than when I fell asleep, I was stiff from sleeping on the couch, and it was so hot!

My sweet Ron got me a snack and set me up with some DVDs to watch and left me alone and drove around the block.

When he got back he asked me to come for a drive with him.

Boy was I grouchy! Poor man.

But as we drove and talked, I enjoyed sunshine, country roads, a nice flash rain storm and a RAINBOW!

I decided to adopt a better attitude and stop being so darn grouchy! Lol

(I have a picture of the rainbow but I have no idea how to add the pic! Darn!)

Never mind I guess it worked!

One Week Four Days

So one week four days to go until my "estimated date of delivery". So as they say, any day now. I am enjoying my time off work and to relax before our daughter is born. However, I am so excited for her to be born! I know that first time babies tend to come late, but I hope this one doesn't realize that....

Sorry it has been SO long...

It has been a year since I have posted anything on this blog. I was actually surprised it hadn't gone inactive since all of this time has passed.

A lot has happened since I posted last! Ron has been flying more and more and working so hard. His three week on three week off rotations have been incredibly hard. We miss each other so terribly much but we also recognize how blessed we are for Ron to have the position he has...

The biggest change since the last time I posted is that we are pregnant! I am actually almost 38 weeks and our little girl could come here any day now!

It has been a great pregnancy, no major problems or complications. I am still working, done soon though, thank goodness! My prenatal care has been with a group of midwives here in Calgary. I feel SO grateful that a spot for me was found with the midwives. There are not enough midwives here in Calgary for the amount of women who want their care. It was an answer to prayers when I was given a place at the practice.

Ron and I are thankful everyday that we are about to become parents! Ron is the cutest! He is so excited to meet his little girl! One of the loveliest moments that we have enjoyed together was our first ultrasound when I finally saw my baby on the monitor. Before this I was NOT convinced I was pregnant! I was just simply late and there were no other signs... Nope. I wasn't pregnant... but them we saw our little baby on the monitor, she moved her little hands and bounced all around... then it was real. When I heard her heartbeat on the monitor I fell in love! Tears of joy and thankfulness and love rolled down my cheeks... yay!!!!

We had another meeting with our doula, Krissy last night. We went over our birth plan and tons of questions were answered.

So here we are now. Ron is in another room right now studying... yet again... poor boy... and I am still in my PJ's watching Greys Anatomy on DVD with my little Sophie napping beside me.

OH! That's something else new! We have adopted the sweetest little dog who burrowed herself into our hearts. Ron and I can't imagine our home and lives without our little Yorkie, Sophie.

So I solemnly swear that I will be better with this blog and keep everyone up to date. However I am not good at adding photos and typing around the text and making it pretty... So... if any bloggers out there would like to give me advice and share their blogging expertise with me it would be greatly appreciated....

Grocery Shopping

I have officially discovered something today. I love new groceries! It is similar to laundry. I hate the actually ACT of grocery shopping but having all that fresh yummy food ready for the pickin'! It's like an all you can eat buffet in your own fridge...

I hate grocery shopping but I'll eat it any day of the week!

I have been asked to post a little bit of what Ron is up to in Inuvik. I highly recommend looking Inuvik up on Google Maps. I was shocked to find out how far away he truly was! I tried to post a link up from Google Maps but I am a bit technologically illiterate as my husband would atest to.

This is his first rotation with Kenn Borek in Inuvik. Ron is up there living in crew housing, studying and practice flying with the his new airplane, with a training captain.

He has his "ride" or flight test as I call it on Monday! He has already been told how great he is doing, but I already knew that!

I am very much looking forward to having LOTS of time to spend with him when he comes home!

Today in church I got released from my work with the Young Women. I was very sad. I loved working with those girls. They made me feel young and cool! Lately I have been feeling very UNcool! hahahaha...

Today was also Mothers Day. It was not depressing in any way, but it was kinda sad. Mothers Day is a day you want to give your mom and grandmother a big hug and have a big dinner with your family. Today is PJ's and old episodes of Little House on the Prairie for me. Not bad, but I am not with the ones I love...

Happy Mothers Day!

I Have Entered the Blogging World...

I decided to title our Blog, "Love is Spoken Here". It is sort of a motto in our home. Those who love each other should always use kind words filled with love. I am a Wing, so am inheritly sarcastic, so it is something that I am working on!

Ron and I want our home to be nothing but love and fun!

I have been thinking a while about starting a Blog, and last Sunday made up my mind.

I work with the Young Women of our church and I taught a lesson about keeping records and journal writing. They say that the teacher learns more than the students and I believe that is what happened to me!

I used to keep a fairly accurate journal but the last year and a half I have barely written a word. I realized that the happiest and most important time of my life I NEVER put on paper - meet, falling in love, and marrying the love of my life. Well never again! I hope to use this Blog to keep a record of my family, share my thoughts with my friends and keep in touch with my family that is sooooo far away from me.

Well.... here goes!
