Rebecca's Ramblings

As I sit here at work waiting for the orders to be scanned down to me, I've been thinking. Thinking a lot. Thinking of things I want to do to my house. Thinking of things I'd like to do with my family. Thinking of future vacations. Also, mainly thinking of how in just two short weeks I will be the mommy of a THREE year old! Man, where does the time go?? Really...wasn't she just a not-so-tiny baby???

Isn't it amazing how my Mary Claire has gone from this little beauty:


To this little-bit-bigger beauty:


Has it really been three years already that I was humongously pregnant and so excited to give Brian his first daughter?? I never imagined she would be such a big baby, but she was the most beautiful baby I'd ever seen! I'm so proud to be her mommy!

I've been searching Pinterest.com in my spare time, and I love it! I've found so many ideas on there that I hope I'm able to do. Even though I don't love our current house, I've realized that it is going to be home for quite a few years. So, now I'm ready to make it "home." Brian and I have already re-done the kitchen and we are now going to go ahead and switch out some of the flooring. Maybe if I show some interest in decorating, then the house will start to feel like home. I think the house is too big and spread out; it just doesn't feel cozy to me at all. Maybe I can make it cozy....

I've been trying to think of a cool vacation for us to go on next year. I have comtemplated flying somewhere, and, after the success of our Disney trip I wouldn't be as stressed, but I then think of having to rent a car and all that fun stuff. So then I've thought about doing a driving tour of part of the U.S. But, how much fun would that be for a three year old and a one year old. Gah, why does parenting have to be so stressful??

Anyways, guess that's enough ramblings for now. One more hour of work...
