Lynchburg Fun

A few weekends ago my friend Debbie and I drove to Lynchburg to visit our friend Christen. She just got married in June and it was time for a visit. It was SO GREAT to get away for the weekend. Things have been so nuts at work and everything with the house has been so busy it was nice to take a little break from it all. It never fails the three of us have a FABULOUS time when we are together. Here are a few fun pictures of the weekend. Thanks Christen for bringing back the beat in my life...I needed it! :-)



We went shopping and I found this little suite with the purple tie and shirt...too cute!






My belly is bigger than hers!!!

Blog Hypocrite....

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I laugh at myself because I love reading everyones updates...when I get to one that hasn't been updated in a while I'm always like "post and update already we are missing your life!" ha ha then I look at my blog and it's been over a month since my last update. oops ha ha
So without further delay here's the update...I could bore you will all the details of my job/stressful life but I will spare you. It looks like I'm going to be at my job for longer than I thought. Tyson and I are still praying for the Lords direction but it looks like my exodus from this place will not be in November as I dreamed. I'm always cautious to post specifics about "job stuff" here on my blog so I will say this. Several key staff members have left and I've had to take on a ton of extra work. It's strange in the midst of this confusion I really do feel at peace. How blessed I feel that this is all out of my control. Some days I wish I could MAKE things happen the way I WANT! But knowing that God has a plan and a perfect time for everything in my life gives me strength to continue on.
The baby is doing great! I'm now at 27 weeks! He's moving all the time. Every time my dad touches my belly this little guy kicks...talk about "thrilled grandpa" he's bragging to the family that Sawyer already knows who his grandpa is. ha ha I've been feeling ok not sleeping great but they say that's prep for after the baby is born. I'm getting fatter all the time which is not fun I'm not going to lie. If you are wondering why there are no pictures of me on this post it's because I'm still recovering from random comments on how fat I've gotten. It's harder to handle then I thought it would be even coming from people who in my opinion have NO social skills. Now I know you are all wondering if I'm just overreacting well I do admit I can be a bit dramatic but how would you feel if someone said to you...and I quote "Oh my gosh I didn't recognize you....your face has gotten so fat." or "wow I'm shocked your only 6 months your face is so swollen." I'm aware that pregnancy means physically expanding and I don't even mind the belly comments..."wow are you having twins"...that doesn't bother me at all. But really people leave my poor face alone...and by the way I'm only going to get fatter! ha ha So all this to say...this post will not have any pictures of me...maybe by my next post I'll have recovered. :-)
House Update: Things with the house are going GREAT! The wood floors are in everything has been painted. The carpet goes in today and our new kitchen cabinets have been delivered and will be installed Saturday. I can't wait to see it all come together. I have posted a few pics of the progress.
The Kitchen....
Poor Tyson grinding up the tile...the hardest project in this house. Dust EVERYWHERE! I only stood there 1 second to take this picture and I had to leave. You could not even see him there was so much dust!
Good bye ugly blue counter tops!! YAY

Tyson Dad and Matt put the floor in the kitchen and throughout the front of the house. It looks AMAZING! Oh and the electrician finished all of our lighting. I didn't get pictures of the lights but we put recess lighting in the front of the house and you can see the one over the fire place. I'll post pictures of the finished kitchen as soon as everything is in. And then pics of the back out the house. Have a blessed weekend!
