Changes

Oh, hey blog world!
I took a quick time out from the craziness that is my 18-month-old daughter and her loving father to blog a little, because I haven't in a long time and honestly it's like therapy. Here are a few things you need to know
1) I've joined not on but two bible studies in the past month. Over achiever, I know. But really it's my first time and I'm excited to see what all comes from it. I've also met some real sweethearts and it gives Mallory a chance to socialize.
2) Sam and I are pregnant. Well, I'm pregnant but he helped. We are overjoyed. Baby #2 will be here October 2013.  The gender an name will be a big surprise. Also, I probably won't mention being pregnant again as I dislike it so much. I know it's a blessing but really, who enjoys carrying around 20 extra pounds, swollen feet, and being so sick 24 hrs a day 7 days a week?  Not I.
3) Mallory is growing and thriving. She is an amazing child with an infectious personality. She will start pre-school in the fall (just 2 half days). She's stringing words and phrases together, and beginning to make so many little buddies. She truly loves life. She loves to march, and slide, and swing, and dance. She has a beautiful arabesque. She loves her potty, we aren't fully potty trained yet though. I'm not sure where she got it, but that child is on a strict schedule and she doesn't like to stray from it. For example, nap time is a 2, and if I don't have her in bed by 2 she runs to her room, opens the door, and yells "Mommy, nap" until I walk in and put her down. She keeps us in line for sure, a quality that will come in handy when watching over her little sibling.  The more she grows the more I love her. She is a true blessing in this world.
