Just Us.

T minus 4 days until my first born is ONE year old. 3 days until the big par-tay.

It has been an amazing year. I have way too much going on right now to ramble on about every single detail in this post, so I will summarize things into a few simple points:

1) Even though my mom is legally blind, she cleans my house 10x better than I do, and has way more staminia and vigor towards cleaning at the tender age of 67
2) My husband is the best husband/dad there is. He willingly rocked his daughter to sleep at 4:30am this morning when she woke up crying (we think she's getting a molar or two), and then volunteered to put her to bed tonight when he got home from work. No complaining woman about "my man ain't doin nothin" on this blog. I don't know how to make those little heart shaped icons in the blogger/facebook world, but if I did, I would put one right...here. Seriously though; I am so blessed. I can't believe how sweet and hands-on he is.
3) I have the coolest family and friends there are, and feel so blessed by them. We have been hanging out with friends and family every night practically for the past two weeks, and have enjoyed every.single.minute of it. To make the deal even sweeter, my sister Kath and brother-in-law Mike are arriving in PDX tomorrow morning! WOO HOO!!!!!
4) Taking a week off from work? Sweet. Sooooooo sweet. Makes me appreciate my job more; and I'm sure I'll be ready to go back on Tuesday.
5) *its a secret* But pray for us. We might have a great opportunity on the horizon for us. More on that later when we know more!
