Nathan and I on our 2 year anniversary!I have had this blog for a while now, but I never post on it. I decided this would be a good avenue to share my life, thoughts, and opinions with family and friends.
Well, we are 8 weeks away from our due date (July 4th). I can't believe how fast the pregnancy is going! I can still remember the day at the hospital when they told us we were pregnant. It was one of the most amazing emotions I have ever felt. It is hard to imagine myself in this place(pregnant and over two years married), but I can't see myself at any other place in my life. 
I am starting back at school in the fall to finish my masters degree in Marriage and Family Counseling. I wasn't sure if this was where the Lord wanted me a year ago, but now I couldn't be more sure about this direction in my life. Do I plan on working 40 hours a week? No way! I am going to be a mom first, well second...Nathan comes first! I want to raise my children, I don't want other people to do that for me. I feel very strongly about how the mother is supposed to stay home with the children. I know that some women can't do it for financial reasons and that is understandable! There are some women who work because she and her husband want more and more. They can never have "enough" in their lives. I think this harms their children more and I in my opinion, that is why there are so many sad and depressed kids in the world. Since I can afford to stay home and raise my children, I am. It will be more rewarding than working. If that means Nathan and I have to eat out less or buy fun things less, so be it! It is all going to burn anyway, isn't it?

Well, Nathan and I have started painting the nursery this week and we are almost done! Here are a few pictures to see the beginning stages:
Well, thats all for now, more to come!
