One of these days...

I'll stop doing things for the wrong reasons. I just got back from my mom's house in asheville, and she insisted I dye my hair blonde that I look better that way. I had finally grown out all my natural color, to my bottom and was loving it. I felt good, but between my mom and knowing Matt would love it, I did it. I must say I hate it. I don't think it looks good, and it might even be strawberry blond. I blame myself, I made the choice. My mom also wanted me to cut my hair to my shoulders, but I decided to keep it long.
I told Matt I would leave my hair like this for the next 2 months. and then I would change it back. He agreed. Of course, it won't be the natural same color.

O yeah, we are pregnant too! :D
due 12/4/2008 We've only told family and JM so far, and if you read it hear you are probably part of that categorie. We just found out, and we aren't really waiting to tell b/c hey, secrets are no fun!

Just kidding. But Landen pulled this out of my drawer, and put it on, I couldn't resist taking some pictures. He sure is cute!

The beach

We went to the beach last night and had a nice time. It was 80, and sunny when we got there, and within 5 minutes the fog rolled in, and it got chilly. We still had a great time, and Landen loved the water, and chasing the seagulls. Above is a picture of him falling in the water, knocked by a wave. He didn't mind to much. He really loved the seagulls below. He was running up and down the beach, laughing his head off. It really makes a mom smile.

Life

has been keeping us busy. There is so much going on this month, circuit assembly, circuit overseer visit, service, Memorial, family visiting, and a trip to NC. We haven't really had any time to stop and breath. On top of just finally feeling better from months of sickness.
Phew.
Not pregnant in case you are wondering, but if you have been spying on my chart, you may know that we decided to forget about it for now. Not try, not prevent, just forget, though i am still temping, not really paying much attention to anything else. Landen has been so needy lately with his sickness, that I was thinking, I don't think I want two babies.
On my mind is being stuck in this condo. Where last month I was thinking, ok, I can handle another year here, now I am thinking, I want a house, I want to settle somewhere, I need my own space. It's really hard for a family of 3 to fit into this little place.
We also decided no disney b/c we can't afford it. I am happy we made this choice as it was the smart one, although also the hard one.
Landen has had a word explosion, and is talking a lot. I love listening to his say new words, Bus is bis, shoes are ooshes (rhymes with shoes, just has the sh in the wrong place), please is pleash. It's so precious, and every time he says a new one, I squeeze him, and we both laugh. He thinks its great when he says new words.
Last week I had a yucky stomach virus when family was visiting, the night begun with regular trips to the bathroom (every 5 minutes or so), to go number 2, yes, i know you want to know, followed by finally, vomiting. Thankfully whether is was a virus or food poisoning, it was gone by morning, and although I didn't feel myself, I was able to go out and about exploring Tarpon Springs with my family.
The weekend was the Circuit assembly, and boy was it long. With a toddler, ha, long. That's all I'm gonna say. What I heard was nice, but it was long. :D
The weather is warming up, and I can't believe spring is already on the way. The whole winter went from 60 one day to 80 the next, and I am not sure where fall ended, winter began, and spring is.
Maybe its the hormones and the time of the month (o-ing time) I am just feeling overwhelmed with everything. I just made a hot cocoa, and I am hiding in my room, for my first moments of quiet today. The hot cocoa isnt' very good though. To much chocolate.
So, we are looking forward to a visit to my moms the last week of the month. We don't have much planned, but Lily (little sister) will be on spring break, and I will be able to spend a lot of time with her.
Anyway, that's all for now. I am going to go enjoy the rest of the beautiful day.
