Welcome to the wonderful world of Angela Michelle

After almost 10 years Tim and I will be moving out of the house we have lived in since we were married. Tim and I were driving home a few days ago and I told him "I'm going to miss this little house, all our "firsts" were in this house. It feels like our home." But now it's time to move and start a whole in batch of "firsts". The bad part I have 10 years of junk to go through! Oh well at least Tim doesn't have to be here to watch me cry over cards I have saved and pictures of friends that have moved away. Pray for me I might get lost in the boxes and packing tape! LOL

I have always loved graveyards. I could and have spent hours walking in graveyards. When my mom would drive by a graveyard I'd say " Mom look a graveyard can we stop?" I think my mom thought it odd that a child would want to stop at graveyard instead of a park but, well, it is odd. Anyway I love to take pictures of the statue work on the old graves. They are beautiful pieces of artwork. I have a few rules, I don't going running around peoples graves and I never take pictures of the peoples names on the graves. I always remember these are someone's loved ones no matter how long they have been gone. I took Tim with me this time, and he like my mom thinks it is odd.

I think Tim and I are having boy. Why? cause, I thought of the boy name first, I was sitting there and all of a sudden I was like "Matthew James, that's it!" and a few days later I told Tim if it's a boy I'm doing the room in airplanes. Tim loved it and it means something to people in his family. Tim loves to fly, Steve knows how to fly, Tim's uncle works on planes, his grandpa was a airplane pilot, and Tim's grandma also work with people who made planes! (of course they think I'm crazy since I hate to fly...lol) The girl stuff on the other hand has not been as easy. It took forever to pick a girls name. We made lists of girls names and when I wanted to use Lee because of my dad I came up with Annalee, we still don't know about a middle name. I like Summer but I'm not sure. I've been trying to figure out what to do with a girls' room. After many months, I figured it out. I'm going to do it in Japanese florals. Luckily my Aunt Lori has offered to make all my baby room stuff...Score! She's the best!

For the past week everyone is like you look so good you are just glowing. Glowing Shmoing! The fact is I've been getting lots of sleep and I've gone on a make-up shopping spree for Christmas! Thanks Timmy.
So here are my secret weapons!

1. Clinique Repairwear foundation. (warning with this foundation a little goes a long way)
2. Clinique Blended face powder.
3. Nars blush in Torrid. This is the best blush ever!
4. Bed Head eye shadow.
5. Lancome Juicy Tube Smoothie in Pink Horizon (this color might be discontinued, I think)

And of course since I'm 28 (gasp!) I have stepped up and really started taking care of my skin, moisturizer in the morning and a heavy duty night cream and a awesome eye cream everyday! Try All About Eyes also from Clinique! I love this if I could put this all over my face I would! Good Luck and if anybody out there has some Secret weapons! SHARE the LOVE!! I will try anything!

Tim and I heard through Steve that a couple from our church might have a house they would rent to us. I couldn't believe my ears. As most of you know 1. It's very hard to find a place to rent here 2. Tim has his business that he has to get the homeowners to agree to let him run his business out of their home. 3. Tim needs somewhere to put his business stuff, and how could I forget WE HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY!! The house we live in now has been a blessing, our landlords have been awesome, but this house is old and way to small, even for Tim and I. So when Tim called me today and told me we got it I could not believe it! I has in shock. I don't even know what I said I was just so happy! I wouldn't care if it had shag carpet and 70's wallpaper. (which it might I haven't seen the inside yet) This is what I do know, it has... A DISHWASHER! Omg! A FIREPLACE AND 3 BEDROOMS AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOME! (on the outside and I'm sure it's great on the inside) BUT WHAT I'M MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS...for the first time in the 9 years Tim and I have been married we will have a home where we can have people over, for our birthday for movie night and for the first time I will be able to have an Easter like I have always wanted! Easter is my favorite holiday! It always has been. As a child Easter was huge to my nana and papa we would drive to my papa's church and then go to my nana's house and have a early dinner. We would make homemade ice cream and just run around the yard. I have always wanted to do a big Easter thing but never had the room to have Steve and Susie over or my family and now I can. And we will get to bring our baby home to it's own room! We are so blessed and thankful for everything God puts in our paths. This baby that we thought we would never have and a home we thought we would never find. And I would like to say Thank you to the couple who have been part of this blessing and part of the group of friends who have prayed for this baby!
