TTC update!

Well, its been forever since I have talked about TTC! We are still trying, but we are just going with the "flow". My cycles are starting to become a little bit normal! So that is a good thing! Hopefully by the summer we will be with child. I just realized that if I dont get pregnant soon, I wont be pregnant with a 2010 baby! I will be having a 2011 baby! You know, I am not gonna go see a fertility dr. We want to try and do this is natural as possible! So, Im gonna keep on losing the weight, and hopefully in the the couple of months I will be sharing with you all my pregnancy announcement!!! I just gotta keep reminding myself that its all in GODS timing! So I am not gonna rush the process, because when it happens it is going to be beautiful, and our child is going to be amazing!!!!

Decorating! I think its time!

I have been a proud homeowner for 1 year and 3 months now!! I love owning my own home! I makes me feel like a real adult! BUT, I havent decorated ANYTHING yet! So I have decided its time! I need to! We have more friends now, and we would love to invite people over! This summer we want to have BBQ's since we have a half acre! I will actually post a video of our backyard, maybe at the end of this blog! Anyways!
here are pictures of my livingroom and kitchen! I dont have any pictures of my bathroom! SORRY!







My style is different! I like the modern, country type fill! So here are a few ideas! if it was up to my husband our whole house would be black and red! LOL

100 books in a year

I know its a little late in the year to start this! But I think this wluld be fun to do! I love to read! So I figure I would do this along with reading my bible in a year! I will actually be listening to the bible in a year podcast!

anways, The books that I have ready to read are:
Nights in Rodanthe-Nicolas Sparks
Dear John-Nicolas Sparks
True Believer-Nicolas Sparks
At First sight-Nicolas sparks
The Time Travellers Wife- Audrey Niffenegger

So thats 5 books! Im thinking about making a wishlist on Amazon.com
it would be pretty cool to have my 95 books ready to buy!!
I think EVERYONE should join in! its NEVER to late!

Writing from my touch

Seriously, this touch makes me want an iPhone! I am excited though because I can blog on the go!
Anyways I haven't been blogging much about ttc! That's because we aren't really been trying! We have totally put everything in GODs hands! We know we are going to be parents, it's just gonna be in his timing! My cycles are getting more normal as I lose the weight and eat healthier! So I am excited about that! Patrick and I have been enjoying not being consumed with ttc! We are going with the flow! One thing I will not claim is infertility! I just won't do it! My purpose in life is to be a good wife and a good mommy!
