God Works in Wonderful, Mysterious Ways

It has been a wild week for me - so many exciting events to process, so many emotions! ;) Every day just keeps getting better and better. Yesterday my beautiful niece was born, and I love her already! Today I find out that Chris is getting new orders cut and we are moving! This is the news we have been waiting for. I feel so excited, relieved almost, to get this ball rolling! We've only been talking about it for over a year now. We will be moving in 30-60 days, which I realize is very soon. But it is good news to me because it validates all the tough decisions that Chris and I have made in this past year. We did not anticipate living apart from each other for so long, and not having a job was starting to worry me. My brain has not been able to slow down lately, so an upcoming move gives me something to focus on! I think I will become a lot more productive and I'm sure I will soon be complaining about how I just need more time to get it all done. There are still a lot of unknowns in this situation, so let me remind you of what we do know:

  • Chris is currently at Ft. Benning, GA.
  • We are moving to Ft. Campbell, KY.
  • Ft. Campbell is located on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee.
  • Neighboring cities are Oak Grove, KY and Hopkinsville, KY and Clarksville, TN.
  • Ft. Campbell is about 45 minutes northwest of Nashville.
  • We will live about 7 hours from Kansas City, so driving home for visits is doable.
  • The cats are going to hate every minute of this move.
I will keep you all updated!!

23 Weeks

Hey, I'm actually posting this on time this week!  Maybe it's because I've been awake since 5 this morning.  For no good reason.  (But I did wake up thinking about a big, juicy cheeseburger. And a cup of coffee.) And what a looooong week it's been! We got a sleet storm of about 4 inches of accumulation followed by another inch or two of snow on Sunday night. The sleet froze into ice, basically paralyzingly the area.  I don't think the streets had been pretreated, although I saw trucks putting down liquid de-icer about a week before the sleet came through.  And because this area is not accustomed or prepared for such weather, everything shut down.  All of post was shut down- not even Burger King was open.  And even the mall closed. It takes a lot for the whole mall to close.  And I don't know what else because I didn't leave the house until last night.  I heard...

A Pregnant Woman's Guide to Maternity Clothes

Being pregnant with my first child, I had zero experience maternity clothes shopping. I had no idea what sizes I would need nor what products would work for me. Given that every body type is so different, and each pregnancy is so different, this post will simply serve as a guide and just a place to start. Ultimately, you will have to make some decisions yourself on what will work best for you. I just thought I'd share what I have learned in this first pregnancy. When Should I Start Buying Maternity Clothes? To me, this question has a simple and easy answer. NOW. (or, as soon as you find out you are pregnant.) Here's why: CLEARANCE . Take advantage of that clearance rack! If you buy as soon as you find out you are pregnant, the clothes on clearance are going to be the right season for when you are in your third trimester. I did a little shopping in the first trimester (early winter) and I got great summer tanks and maxi dresses for a ...

"Let's Play!" Series: What is Play, and Why it's SO Important

Welcome to my Let's Play! series!! My first "official" post is going to be kind of a summary on my feelings on why telling your child "Let's Play!" is so important! So what is "play" and why is it so important, anyway? Playtime for kids is a HOT topic lately. There are some big stories floating around about it - have you seen the one about schools that are doubling/tripling recess times and seeing improvements in students' work because of it? Playtime for our kids is complete freedom.  Open-ended activites where they can make their own choices and interact with their peers under their own choosing. Playtime is where children's minds can rehearse favorite activites, explore new possibilites, and foster friendships and find commonalities with peers. It's a lot of self-discovery and learning about their environment! It's where they explore "what happens if..." and learn the positive and negative consequences of th...
