Magic Glasses!

Well, they are finally here. Justice got his new glasses yesterday. He managed to take a spill and bend them within the first 5 hours after getting them sustaining a cut on his temple, but the glasses were salvagable... thank goodness. He looks really cute with them on. He really likes showing them to people.

10 Things About Me

Well, a friend had a really cool blog up all about herself. She called it 10 things about me, and tagged anyone who read it to do the same. I really liked it so I am going to do the same. Hopefully it won't be too boring :) If you like it please do the same because I really enjoyed reading hers and I would love to read other people's as well. Here goes it...

#1.) When I was in 6th grade I cut my bangs even though my Mom told me not to because my forhead was too short for bangs....like I had any idea what that meant... and then I realized I didn't like it after all so in a moment of despare I shaved them off! haha Oh yeah baby, I even told a kid who asked me why my banged were shaved that I got hit in the head with a rock and they had to shave them off to get to the wound. (I have since repented;) What a dork. I must say that I understand the meaning of someone's forhead being too short for bangs..a lesson learned a bit too late I'm afraid :)
#2.) I have never had a nightmare.
#3.) I have been known to cover my eyes during scary movies no matter who is around which I believe has helped me keep my perfect record of no nightmares. (I do peek through my fingers though..it makes me feel safer)
#4.) I love card games.
#5.) I have a tendancy to sound like a know it all....I don't mean to be that way, it's just how I am I guess. I like to share my opinion with people and hear their's, but I'm sure that I can come across as being controlling. I never mean to sound like I'm talking down to anyone, I just like a good conversation. I also over explain things. (if you couldn't tell) My sister is lovely enough to point that out whenever she can.
#6.) I enjoy being by myself...more than the everyday person I suppose.
#7.) I like medical stuff...like watching surgery's and other medical procedures.
#8.) I have talked my way out of or run my way out of 3 times as many tickets (automobile) than I have ever had to pay for. (Not recently)
#9.) I use to love to break into old abandoned houses and buildings. Just because I thought they were so freakin' cool looking.
#10.) I tend to have more boy friends than girl friends. Girls never seemed to like me as much. Go figure.

Hymne a l'Amour

It's busy times again at the barrel makers house. Great news for us though, we got an offer in on our house today :) Greg and I had to go sign all kinda of paperwork at then realtors office this afternoon. We're pretty excited & relieved that things are finally going somewhere. The market is just so sucky right now. We are blessed to have this happen, I can't take it for granted. Greg and I are also doing our best to get out of debt. We have arrangements to pay off two out of three of our crdit cards by May. That will be awesome!
I hit 25 weeks this last saturday- give or take a few days. Just over 3 months to go until Aris arrives. We're trying to get in a better place financially so it won't be such a struggle over the summer. We bought our tickets to go back to Maine for 3 weeks in the summer. Greg's brother is getting married and we hope to use this time to set up interviews for Greg. We are hoping to be able to move back there in the late summer.
The pics I added are as of today at 6 months 1 week or so. Everything is going well. Justice continues to love the idea of a baby sister and actually drew a picture of our family during primary at church yesterday and it included baby Aris :) How cute is that? We're still waiting on Justice's glasses to come in. The Spongebob frames are on back order so it may be another week before we get them. I'll be sure to put some pics up of him when we get them. Greg started teaching and is having fun doing it...as much fun as you can have with 4 rooms full of punk kids;) (Thats my quote not his ;)
