Day 48 of 100


Rich was ordained yesterday by North Hampton Church of Christ.  I cried.  A lot.  I am so proud of him.

Day 47 of 100

I went to a baby shower for my friend Laura and her husband Matt yesterday.  We played a few non-typical baby shower games, one of which I won (it was called "How prego can you go?"  Of course considering our uncertainty of children, everyone found this to be hilarious.)  Laura and Matt received a lot of cute baby gifts.  A LOT, both in gifts and cuteness.  The continual awwws that also seemed to continually rise in pitch were proof. 



It was sweet to watch them open the gifts together.  You could see their love.

Can't wait for Amelia to arrive!

Day 46 of 100

The Sayers girls: Olivia, Kelly, and Katie.  There is a special place in my heart for these three.


It had been awhile since we visited with them.  Yesterday I could tell they missed me; it was a nice feeling.  Olivia and Katie showed me their silly bands and their new glasses that I am totally envious of.  Olivia also showed me her "80's" outfit she pulled together for camp.



My prodigy :)

Day 45 of 100

Aimee is back from Africa!!!


It was good to see my friend and hear about her adventures.  At Muddy's we flipped through some pictures from her trip.  I loved hearing about what she did, the people she met, and the things she learned.  I can't wait to hear about the random stories that come to her mind as the semester goes on.   I am so proud of her!

She also bought me some very cool African fabric!

(When taking our picture, Aimee told me I didn't have to duck.  This was the result.)


I love my friends!  Looking forward to the rest arriving on campus!

Day 44 of 100

During our trip in Asheville, we came across a Lamb-chop puppet.


Do you remember the TV show?  In elementary school, I used to have one of these puppets.  I remember my backpack had a matching lunch box that Lamp-chop wore as her backpack.  She would go to school with me, sit at my desk, turn in homework even. I don't remember how often I actually did this.  Maybe it was only for a day or week.  Maybe I did it the entire year.  But regardless... yup, I was a dork.

Day 42 of 100

This post if PG-13 (and probably TMI).

A gift I've occasionally seen given to newlyweds is jar with a bag of marbles.  The newlyweds are to add a marble to the jar every time they... well... you get the idea.

Corey and I decided instead of marbles to use quarters.  On our second anniversary I counted them and again on our fourth.



Don't fret; I'm not going to tell you how many there are..  However, I would recommend this to all couples.  It's a creative way to save a few cents here and there.  We haven't decided what to spend them on, but it will certainly be interesting to see how much money we've saved (earned?) after 10, 15, and 25 years of marriage.
