Here are two pictures of me sporting my new prego pants that I scored on the cheap from Ross, one from Sunday, one from Monday. Notice
that my belly looks different in each. Depending on baby’s position, my belly
changes shape/size and it’s so funny!
We’re so excited to finally be (mostly) moved into our new
apartment in Tyler. Since Chris started his new job, we’ve only “lived”
together on weekends, and we’re so happy to be under one roof again!
Moving was looooooooooooonggggggggg and tiring, and we were
very lucky to have a few people to help us with the “heavy” stuff. One day
involved going to sleep at midnight and waking up (because we couldn’t sleep)
at 2 am, cleaning until 5 am, and driving to Tyler with the moving van.
In other news, our septic issue was magically fixed. It.
Was. A. Clump. Of. Hair. No. Joke. This giant hair plug was in the guest
bathroom tub and once we got it out, everything worked like magic. Weird,
right? I’m not blaming anyone in particular for this hairplug, but my sister
Breana DID come and stay with me for like 4 days over the summer, and if you
know Breana, you know her hair….hmmmmmm…..LOL
We spent our first weekend in Tyler together doing a lot of
unpacking, doing laundry, and cleaning (with our new fancy Dyson!!!). I know
it’s a crazy idea. But truthfully, Chris and I enjoy our time spent cleaning up
together. It really is “quality time”…because we’re together. We’re really
simple people, to be honest. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with
elaborate dates, weekend getaways (speaking of….I could use one…hehe), or grand
romantic gestures. These are all awesome. But they have their time and
place…and the time is infrequently and the place is somewhere in your family’s
budget, which may be rare. The real meat of a marriage is in the day to day
humdrum—the boring stuff that no one thinks about. I pray this week, that my
friends and family will think about all mundane-ness of laundry, or vacuuming,
or whatever as a blessing of time. A time for cooperation, conversation, and
ultimately, love. It sure beats thinking of these things as a horrible chore, I
promise.
We’re also very blessed to have a large patio with table and
chairs. We’ve been eating a lot of meals outside and it’s sooooooooooo nice,
especially since the weather has cooled down! Speaking of meals, I am happy to
be cooking for 2 again. Below are some pictures of fun meals we’ve had since we
moved in.
PB Sandwich with Honey, Banana, and Bacon (Elvis style).
Yes, Chris has a double stack :-)
Made from scratch (love the dough cycle on the bread
machine!) Pepperoni rolls with dippin’ sauces
This one is a salad from Chick-fil-a, obviously not
homemade, but Chris thinks it looks like a chicken with a tiny beak…anyone else
see it? LOL
