I'm so excited for you! Great news that all is well, can't wait for her arrival!

It's great that she'll be born in the summer (fewer things to do.) I had my first daughter in the summer (between semesters of college) and it was so much easier than my second (hated getting up to take the older one to school each morning!) Can't believe it's getting SO close!! Glad you had a great appointment!

Congrats on getting the vehicle!!! It'll be nice not having to worry about carseats and room now! I'd love a little SUV that is higher off the ground! My little car is scary low (but it was inexpensive) but I want my next one (in many years) to be an SUV or Jeep type vehicle. So happy for ya!

I hope the possible 'new' vehicle passed inspection and you're driving it around right now! :)

fingers crossed and prayers sent!

Yeah! I hope everything pans out ok and you get it! Nothing like having a new car, and you definitely need the space with 3! I can attest to that.

Beth gives you and A,B, and C. ;o) Anything will be lovely. We almost used Abigail (which would be turned to Abbie), but it got so popular, so fast, we pulled it.

They're precious! Nice Santa!! :)

That does sound very frustrating!! It'd be nice if those kind of situations never happen again!

Even though you were venting, I found your post to be really very interesting...I had no idea what you did (or what you did to become one.) I missed the creativity gene, lol!

Me too!!! I miss you!!

Me too!!! I miss you!!

Nadine, thank you. Most of the time I do shrug it off, but last week when the lead pastor at the rather large church I work at told me to go to (local Christian bookstore) and buy pre-printed bulletin shells for Christmas Day, it was just a little much. Most of the time I laugh about it, but sometimes it just gets a little frustrating!

And Kahla, email is coming. :)

I think you need to email me and tell me what's going on!!! I'll put the smack-down on someone for you if you need me to! Love ya!

I think that there are many of us who also feel the same way about our professions. (I've seen similar blog posts from interior designers and colour consultants to name just 2) My husband used to get a bit 'catty' about people calling him a 'cook'. He'd done the hard yards to become a qualified chef. I think maybe his confidence in his abilities is one of the reasons that it doesn't concern him anymore..... ?? Whatever the reason, he's better for it. Similar for me when I was in fashion. I'd get comments on how I just stand around all day and listen to music and ask 'are you right?' to every second customer. I'd get a little niggling and want to let them know the reality but instead I'd take a deep breath and say something along the lines of 'Yeh, something like that.'. Find a way to shrug it off. If it's any consolation: I envy you for having the opportunity to do what you love. I am in awe of graphic designers. Next time someone unintentionally insults you with lines like: 'that looks so professional.' laugh it off and respond with, 'that's because I AM a professional, thanks.' :)

Congrats on the vehicle trade! It feels great to have a paid off vehicle (will still have to wait another year to have one.) Sounds like Cadence is a very smart little girl!!! :)

It's amazing how quickly the tubes work and I'm so glad it went well!! She is so stinking cute! I wish ya'll were closer so her and Emery could hang out.

Chase doesn't start school until the 22nd, but I've already been back up there, will be back today, and officially go back on Friday... boo! Where did summer go?
