Summer? What summer!

August 28, 2006

Chris got me thinking, and that’s often a painful thing to do at this time of year.  Where did my summer go?   I feel like I’ve missed it completely.  Too few evenings chasing fish till dusk.  No late night geocache raids, no nights spent behind a friends telescope, or the viewfinder of a camera.

Things I Like (and/or hate) about being pregnant

August 4, 2006

I love: Feeling special. Not everyone gets to experience this. Adventure. This is all very new and scary, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Feeling him move and kick inside of me.
