Lots have happened since I last posted. My father passed away suddenly on Thanksgiving. I unfortunately didn't get to know him as well I as I wish I would have but grateful for the year and a half that I did. He was a great guy and will be missed. Then the Monday after my dad was buried I ended up having to put to sleep my 12 year old cat Lauren and bury her. Being pregnant right now it was a

In a few months our lives are gonna change in a big way. We are going from married 10 years with 7 cats...no children to...married 10 years 7 cats  (maybe 6 as one is sick...my oldest Lauren) and one child. My biggest prayer is that this child will strengthen our marriage. I know once you have children your marriage dynamics change and you can't forget that you are not just parents but are

It’s hard to believe I’m about half way through this pregnancy. Last week we found out we’re having a boy! I can’t wait to meet him face to face. My little miracle still doesn’t have a name chosen yet but we’re working on it.   Here’s a few photo’s from Baby boy W’s last ultrasound…

It’s hard to believe that were getting close to the halfway point in my pregnancy. I’m still in awe over our little miracle. I can now relax a little now that I’m in my 2nd trimester. I’ll admit I was quite fearful that when I finally got to my 2nd appointment with my doctor I'd find out that I had a silent miscarriage but thankfully that didn’t happen. So yeah I’m a bit paranoid with this

  My husband and I found out about a miracle. A miracle that we NEVER thought was possible. A miracle we pray to God that will bless others as much as it is already blessing us. After 10 years of marriage and 8 yrs of not doing anything to prevent it we found out we are going to have a baby. Years ago my MIL mentioned she remember a doctor saying that my husband couldn’t produce children and

  I've been busy starting a new blog on my 8 cats. It's called Life with 8 crazy cats. Right now I'm introducing each kitty and after all that's over I'll try to tell stories about their crazy lives and have some really cute pictures to go along with it.

It's been a while since I've posted on my blog. Lifes been a bit busy so I haven't had much time to work on this blog. Let's see November was the last time I posted so... December saw my husband and I going to visit my newly found family in East TX for Christmas we had a great time and was sad to come back home.

We have a new kitty that showed up about 2-3 months ago and he's become a part of our family. He's still an indoor/outdoor cat and pretty much comes in and out of the house as he pleases. Tonight I called him in and he's carrying something in his mouth. Here I'm thinking it's probably a squirrel tail (I've caught him "snacking" on a squirrel before) but no here it is almost 12am and he's bringing

I've been sewing lately. I've made 3 cat blankets, 2 felt mousies, and one felt fish so far. We don't have central heating and usually don't turn on the heater unless it's REALLY cold and this year looks like it's gonna be a really cold winter so I decided to make the blankets for the kitties. I made 2 of them today and 1 yesterday and the all three blankets have been occupied since then LOL.

Let's see what has happened since the last time... I turned 35!!! I got in touch with my father's side of the family for the first time.  I met my cousin Dana, my father and one of my father's sisters for the first time. I got rid of Sprint and switched to a Boost mobile account. I joined the world of smart-phones and now own a Blackberry which I LOVE!!  Turning 35 this year was bittersweet...

It's been such a blessing these past few months. I've gotten in touch with an old school mate (hadn't seen her since the 6th grade), and just today I got in contact with a friend I met at youth camp back in 1991 or 1992 (getting older so the memory isn't what it used to be :P)  If you can look up those old "friends" and truly make them your friends again.

Chuck's got to be my favorite show on TV right now. In a world filled with "reality" shows Chuck is a refreshing change. It was "on the bubble" for renewal and just this week I learned it was renewed. It was only renewed for 13 episodes (instead of the normal 21-22 episodes) but I'm hopeful that we will get a full season. If you've never checked out Chuck go to  http://www.nbc.com/Chuck/ and
