Wow. I can’t believe that I haven’t posted in almost a month! So much has happened and so here it goes…
I went to Oregon- it was great. I am very glad I got to see my friend at the end of her pregnancy! Her baby shower was beautiful! (I really should have taken the pictures off my camera to show!) Everyone that came- and even the loved ones that didn’t- were very generous and she opened gifts for over two hours!! Then the next couple days while I was there her Mom and I just helped get everything ready for the baby- And then, of course, the Saturday after I returned, I got a text that Erin was in labor- 3 weeks early! Ella Sophia Ralston was born on March 7. She was 6lbs 21 inches. The first week for them was tough- they left the hospital and then were readmitted then next day. But Ella is doing well now and everyone is home and happy- Hopefully no more return stays at the hospital will be needed.

When I was in Oregon, my husband told me that there’s a half marathon in Eugene in May- I am going back in May to visit again (gotta get my hands on that little one!) so we made arrangements for him to come too! I am very excited I’m going to have him there with me. He won’t be there the entire time I’m there- but it won’t be so bad to be away from home because he’ll be there with me some of the time! I just hope he’s more ready for this half marathon…
The same weekend Ella was on the way- my best friend’s brother got married. They planned their wedding in four days and you would have never know. Brenan’s cancer returned, the bone marrow transplant he had in October wasn’t successful. The level of happiness Brenan and Jess share absolutely floors me, especially in light of all of the hardships they have been through in the past year. It seems like they get good news, and then a month later, the news leaves much to be desired. But the way they have continued to be positive and let love rule their lives is amazing! They are wonderful people and I know they will get through this and all they have been through will just make their lives more full.
Work has been interesting. Stressful for a while- and now… not stressful enough. I operate well under a little bit of stress, not too much, then I shut down. But when there is no stress at all- I get lazy and unmotivated. But then- I’m ok with it right now because stress caused me to miss my period. Not good… I’ll take lazy and unmotivated over over-stressed any day! (I’m sure the baby shower and birth of a friend’s baby didn’t help my emotional status either! I hate baby showers… hopefully it won’t always be that way- but it is now!!)
My craft projects have been plugging along. The quilt for Ella was awesome. I was almost sad for it to be done though… Oh well. Just means I have to start another one… But I have 3 aprons to make in the next month. One for my Mom (for her b-day… very late b-day gift. Her birthday is in December…), one for Elisa (for her b-day… also late. Her b-day is in February), and the third for my sister in law (this one will be on time for her b-day in April). After all the aprons are done I have a project picked out. More about that later…
Also, our nephew’s birthday was the end of February. Aaron was so excited to give Aidan his gift, he got it two weeks early! We got him a bow and arrow set, I know big surprise. The arrows are kid friendly- and Aidan loves it! Aaron is looking forward to taking Aidan hunting when he gets older!
We also had to put my cat of 10yrs down. Sylvester had been getting sicker and sicker over the last few months and I just felt it was time. I miss having him around the house, but know that he’s happy in cat heaven. Still hate thinking of it…
This last weekend I made cookies with Devin. It was very nice to hang out with her for a while. I miss having her at work though. But I’m glad she has a job that she likes. Then, after I got home all the plans I had previously made for my weekend fell apart. Pretty much ended up cleaning, running errands, and relaxing. We were going to go out to breakfast, go to a baseball game and other stuff- but it just didn’t work out… J Oh well. Spending time with Aaron is always an adventure and I never know what will happen!! Lol
Hopefully I’ll get motivated enough to post again in less than a month…
