I am..

I saw this on another blog and thought it would be a good way to express my thoughts for the day..

Outside my window...a beautiful, sunny day. The temperature is still above 90 and it's the end of September. When will it ever fell like fall?

I am thinking...of how much I have to do before Owen's birthday party on Saturday.

I am thankful for...the Charlotte police officer who did not give me a ticket for speeding today. Also come to find out my inspection and car tags were overdue too, but I never thought about since I had never received the usual notice in the mail.

From the kitchen...I just had a yummy lunch of chicken gyros. Since visiting the Greek festival a few weekends ago, I have wanted them again. Luckily my version turned out pretty well.

I am wearing...a borrowed shirt from Kat and pair of capris. My wardrobe increased dramatically this weekend as Kat is letting me borrow a bunch of maternity clothes. I am so excited to have something new and fun to wear.

I am reading...Captivating by Stasi and John Eldredge. I have been reading this book for months now. I received a free copy of it from Thomas Nelson Publishers to read and review. The book isn't great but not all that bad. It's not something I just readily think of picking up these days with everything else going on.

I am praying...for so many things. For my brother a job, for my boys, this new baby, for my own spiritual discipline, etc. etc.

I am creating...some art work for the new baby's room. I am trying my hand at cupcake decorating this week as I try to make some monkey cupcakes for Owen's birthday.

I am looking forward...to December. I can't wait to meet this new little guy in my belly! He is so active, it makes me wonder what he will be like in this world. Will he look like his brother? Will he have the same temperament? Will he be a good sleeper and nurser? What will our family life look like with another little one? I'm also hoping he will come a little early.. :)
