First order of business:
Why the new blog so soon after the other new one?
Well, here I confess sheepishly;
I made an e-mail address specifically for the last blog but only used it once to get the blog going. So I have absolutely no idea what the address or password for it was...Thus the new blog. I did discover looking for it however I have 5 email address and 7 blogs...crazy huh?
So this is now the new blog which I have all info for safely tucked away.
The layout will (hopefully) change monthly. This month I am showing one of my favorite artists Bev Doolittle. I think she is positively brilliant.
On a side note I have concluded that animals sometimes can reveal a lot about friendship. For example the cat where me and Hubbers currently dwell has made his home in our bedroom. Unlike a lot of cats all this cuddle bug is here for is comfort. I am a couple months pregnant and tired the majority of the time. This kitty lays in my room all day except to eat and go to the bathroom. He sleeps as close to me as he can and even snores in his sleep. Oh, and just now lays on my belly right in front of the computer screen. He doesn't like vying for attention.
I think it's interesting though, so often in friendship I feel like if we're not doing anything we can't be having fun.
But I am learning sometimes, it's two people who care about each other just being in the same place and enjoying the presence of the other person.
Being pregnant is in fact odd...
I'm crazy...
my dreams are nearly impossible...and for the first time I have to accept that for at least 6 more months...my life revolves around the survival of the person inside me. And after that me and my Hubbers even while still pursuing our crazy dreams will rearrange those dreams and the order of them happening to care for the little person we'll be stewards of...It's exciting and yet terrifying...and like all the best dreams-only possible with God.
And while I am on the topic of crazy dreams...I have also realized...if I don't get more chances of craziness it is my own fault...I HAVE HAD chances but at the last chance chickened out:
I was accepted to work on Operation Mobilization Ships
I was accepted to go to Swaziland and India for three months
I was accepted to go to TESOL in Egypt...
So while I hope the opportunities for Millie Keith like adventures far off come again and we go...for now I let it all slide for the person inside...hehe that rhymed!
Anywho...thanks for reading my blog.

Rachel! I knew you were pregnant! Well, I suspected after reading your facebook post about being nauseas! I will have to get Elizabeth in trouble for not telling me these important things :-) Congratulations friend! When are you due? By the way, I was super excited to see your new blog. Bev Doolittle has been one of my favorite artists since I was a little girl! I love looking for all of the things, there is always more to discover. I knew were were kindred spirits all along! I love you little sister :-)
I'm glad to know that you didn't abandon your blog. I was beginning to wonder when you didn't update. I updated my family and our bible study on you guys, and we're all praying for you. I love the artwork on your blog. I am pretty sure I have seen work by this artist before. Maybe not this exact piece but the style was very similer. I have a blog now too if you're interested in reading it. I will be posting different things that I will be working on as I go back to school. Artwork and such. You can find the blog here: http://jonathansrandomlittleworld.blogspot.com/
Also for future reference, you can get a google account and sign in to lots of different sites with it, including blogger.com. That's what I do, it saves a lot of hassle trying to remember tons of user names/passwords and such.
I believe I am due in February, yup. =)
I miss you Josie. *sniffles* You should visit me someday. =)
The google account is a good idea...hrmm...
=)
Good post. :)
