Today...

I came home last night after a LONG 4 days away for work.

It was challenging and I have never been so glad to so my husband.

(He is so handsome after all!)

How do I sum up my week?

Lets see....

Hot weather and a broken air conditioner.

Time spent with a family where everyone smokes like a chimney, curses like a sailor and just generally yells at each other and hurls insults.

Did I mention that I get major headaches from cigarette smoke?

Good times.

A heavy wheelchair that I got to push, a 6-year olds birthday party, where the parents smoked something OTHER than cigarettes, and a sleazy guy who hit on me constantly even though I told him I was happily married, over and over again!

Yup, that about sums it up!

But it wasn't all bad!

I found an AMAZING little shop full of delightful vintage items!

The owner has collected "treasures" all her life and then realized she has way to many (sound familiar?!) so she opened a shop!

I restrained myself and only bought 4 things (activated will power!)

Wanna see?

A sweet TINY necklace, I think it represents gardening...

A funny dish, Im going to hang it in our kitchen!

(Notice how they are all blonde? Foreshadowing!)

This is for my sister-in-law. She loves white and old country charm. Perfect!

A random pillow with 3 bears embroidered on it! I have no idea where it came from or who made it, but I love it!

See? Self control!

And tonight?

Well tonight we get to see some of our very favourite people!

She is sweet, caring, an amazing cook and very pregnant!

(Pretty too! But no, she's not for sale)

He is smart, funny and likes to pretend he doesn't like me

(don't worry, theres adoration in his voice!)

and the littlest? Well, technically I haven't met her (unless you mean squeezing her womb "meeting"...) She will be along in the next 4 weeks, and I can guarantee that she will be just as sweet as her mom, and as smart as her dad!

Portland here we come!!

I am TH-to-the-RILLED!

(thats thrilled..)
