Comment.

Well, since Timothy left not one, but three inspiring "Comments" on my last post, I think I can update.  I had forgotten I had enabled the feature to moderate comments after a certain amount of time.  So, turns out, I could have updated long ago.  (I had decided not to post anything else until someone left a comment on my last post.  Oops...!)

My life has been... let's see.  Hectic. Wonderful. Somewhat stressful.  Richly blessed.  Lovely.  and many many more.  We're moved and settled now, and we're so glad to be in our new house!  :-)  We've been "enjoying" amazingly hot and muggy weather for our area... it's unusual that we have weather this hot.  But today it's a beautiful partly cloudy day wth plenty of breezes to keep it bearable. :-) 

Once I get things decorated, curtains in the windows and all, I'll post some pictures of our house. :-)  But for now, just know that I'm enjoying it immensely, and loving our simple little country home.

As far as pregnancy goes, I've been doing really well!  At 6 months and 1 week, I'm feeling really good.  Our little guy has been active today... moving and bumping around in there.  Gary and I are looking forward to the day when he comes into the world!  :-)  What an amazing gift.

A few days ago, on my way to a midwife appointment, a little field mouse went scurrying accross the passenger side of the floor.  :-|  What is it with mice and me?  Seems they always show up at the worse times!  I was tempted to stop the car, but I got a mental picture of me turning the car inside out to find the mouse, and having a cop stop and ask if he could help with anything... and I turn bright red because I'm so terrified of a little old mouse... that I kept on going, but I gave the  mouse a pep talk about his place in the vehicle.  I told him in no uncertain terms, that things could get ugly if he came over to my side, but as long as he stayed on his side of the car, I figured we could get along. 

So, today, little Stowaway and I are on our way to town again.  So far, he hasn't said much to me... and I guess that's a good thing.  I think I would scream on the spot if he stopped to chat. 

Anyhow, I guess I'll go, with a few pictures to end the post with.

Blessings!

 A lovely little bunch of new oak leaves.

A portion of the A.T. hiked with the youth group. I thought this tree was fascinating.

A close up of a jack in the pulpit! I was thrilled when someone pointed these out to me. :-)

Three extra large mushrooms... I loved the companionship displayed here. ;-)

A dozen red roses Gary brought me for our 1st wedding anniversary!

Me with my roses. :-)

Gary and I on our first wedding anniversary

Thankfully I convinced him to cut his hair before that picture above was taken.  :-P NOT! It was the old ratty wig my Grandma keeps around just for fun. ;-) She brought it along on our cousins camping trip. :-)

Another pic of my sweetheart.

My Grandpa's pond... and the neighbors dilapidated fence in the foreground.

A lovely spring rose, just after a light rain.

Three Graduates! :-)
