Embrace the Camera
This week was my birthday week. And we have had a celebration with my family, a couple of meals with friends and a party (to-come) this weekend. It's been fun!

One Less
There are approximately 47 million orphans in the world. But today, today there is one less. My brother-in-law and his wife arrived in Ethiopia and picked up their baby girl today. I’m so excited that my niece will finally be coming home!
She has the sweetest face with smooth brown skin, big brown eyes and tufts of curly black hair. She’s precious, and I can’t wait to meet her in person.
The journey has been long but well worth it (and I’m sure they’d say the same). They do still have one more small hurdle to jump before coming home with her. So please keep them in your prayers as they wrap up this part of their journey and start on a whole new one.

My Husband Rocks
So, I don't know if ya heard... but my husband is quite an awesome guy. I mean he's usually quite awesome, but these past few weeks he's been super awesome.
Last week I had the stomach flu. (Thanks to my niece for that... Littles are just so nice when it comes to sharing their germs)
My husband picked up bread, crackers and sprite for me on his way home from work. (I almost didn't make it home without puking and so didn't feel that puking in the grocery store was a desired result for me or the store)
Then later in the evening, he went out and got me pepto-bismol and pedialyte (which, p.s. is gross. and I don't know how any child could be convinced to drink it).
He rubbed my back as I puked a day's worth of food (I didn't know you could puke up things you ate 9 hours before) and carried out grocery bags full of my intestinal dislodgements.
He stayed home with me the next day to make sure I was ok and made me jello (which has become like my new favorite food) and took care of me all day.
This week while still getting my intestines back on track, the fertility treatments have zapped my energy.
He stayed home with me and brought me breakfast.
He cuddled with me and made me dinner.
He helped me lay out our goals for 2012 and it's a blessing to know he supports me in all of them.
We've had great conversations about faith and religion and goals and plans.
He takes care of me and is simply my favorite person to hang out with.
I love the way he loves me.
My husband rocks!
I love you hunnie!

Advent Calendar - Day 25
My favorite radio station The JoyFM did a Christmas montage, telling the story of Christmas with some great songs as well as a telling of the story with a really cool chalk sketchings. I thought it was the perfect video and audio to post for Christmas day.
Merry Christmas everyone!

I am a big Peanuts fan and I've always loved Linus's explanation of what Christmas is all about.

Advent Calendar - Day 23
This Christmas has been a crazy Christmas. It's been really busy and there have been some really exciting things, like my sister finding out she's pregnant with a baby girl and two of our friends having babies. However, it's also been a tough Christmas season. After a year and a half of trying, I'm still not pregnant, our one friend's baby is in the NICU because he was born two months premature, our other friend's newborn just had open heart surgery, and my niece is not yet home from Ethiopia. So lately I haven't been feeling very Christmasy.
This song reminded me that Christmas isn't about me or how I feel. It's about rejoicing in the birth of our Savior. It's not a traditional Christmas song, but it is a bonus track on my SheDaisy Christmas CD.
"the far off hymn, that hails a new Creation"
"through all the toil and the strife, i hear the music ringing, it finds an echo in my soul"
