Paint and Shoes and Week 24!

Aaron is hard at work…

I can’t believe I’m actually painting again.  When I first bought my house, I painted every room, and got sick from paint fumes.

Figures I get messy after only 5 minutes of painting….

Peeling paint off of my fingers…  Look at my belly :)  These painting clothes don’t fit like they use to.  I cant even zip my pants.
Picture

This is what I use to look like in my painting clothes… Tanned and thin … and vowed never to paint again!

This is a tell-tale sign of pregnancy …

Notice the laces tide towards the sides because I can’t properly pull my knees up directly towards my chest to tie my shoes correctly.   I have to sit Indian style to have any hopes of tying them at all!

It’s time for slip-ons.  I want these :)  I use to have a pair.  They are my all-time FAVORITES.

We bought Rocky a brand new ball.  This is what happened after 5 minutes of playing with it…

This is an excerpt from some text messages between me and Aaron the other day while we were both at work …

Me, “Almost lunch!”
Aaron, “Did you bring grapes?”
Me, “No. I ate a handful on my way out the door though.”
Aaron, “Why didn’t you take more?”
Me, “I was lazy.  Didn’t want to pluck them off the vine and put them in a container.  Just straight into my mouth.”
Aaron, “Put the vine in a container.”
Me, “Ya I thought about that but I’d have to dig out a large container and find the matching lid.”
Aaron, “Sheesh.  I’m going to stop and get you a nice little lunch cooler.  One of those nylon zip up ones.”

The next day, look what I found in the fridge …

Aww!  I love him so much!!!  It had grapes, and broccoli, and ranch dip.  So sweet ♥

Here is a 6 month pregnant pic.  Too bad it turned out blurry.  I can’t wait to get a new camera.

College Life

I’m currently a student at Ivy Tech Community College.  I will graduate with an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education in the Fall of 2015.  Then I will continue on to St. Mary of the Woods College to get my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education.

I’m a member of Phi Theta Kappa, and feel so blessed to receive scholarship opportunities available to me through this Honor Society.

23 weeks

Only 17 more weeks to go.  Wow.  The day is drawing near for my last day at work.  I haven’t yet decided on when my last day will be.  Possibly June 1st.  Then I should hopefully have a few weeks before my due date to make final preparations, baby shower, etc.

I have been with the same company for 11 years.  I have been looking forward to the day when I get my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and can leave my current job for a permanent career.  However, now that I’ve decided to stay home with our baby, at least for a year,  the day I leave my job is closer than I expected.  I’m excited to be home with my baby … but I’m starting to feel a little sad.  I’ve worked with the same people for 11 years!  It feels good to know I am needed there.  I think I will have a harder time adjusting than I thought.
