ALOHA....

Although some members of my family right now (Mom, Dad, Jeff, Jyl, Madi, Drew, Brinley, and Jensen...not to name names...) are enjoying the real deal right now, I've been addicted to this stuff...
I'm not sure whether it's the taste, or the thought of being somewhere tropical, but whatever it is, the $1.00 can at Smith's is just what I need and I can't get enough! YUMMMMM

I say NO to rushing today!

So yesterday was parent-teacher conferences which means today the kids don't have school but teachers have a work day. Well...since I'm only part-time and stayed at school from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm yesterday I felt like I put my time in and used that to justify not going in at all.

So today, I woke up at 9:00! got to talk to my mom for a few minutes in the morning and started the laundry. Then I made myself some delicious french toast and had my daily glass of chocolate milk before starting the dishwasher.(**This was all done without rushing and just taking my time might I add!!!**) Can I just tell you how good it feels to take my time taking care of my house again. I still do clean don't worry, but it's usually a rushed job in between classes or late at night after I get home.

Now I'm off the clean the bathrooms, vacuum, and dust- WITHOUT RUSHING! Moral of the story is... I'm getting so very excited to be done with school so I can give more time and attention to doing what I love most which is being a homemaker and a wife!

I do have to go study and take a test today on campus and it's seriously SO nice outside-climbing up to 70 today they say! But as for now, I'm taking my time being normal Haley again!!!

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY!!

For those who have been asking...and asking and asking...

I've been a little hesitant to do to this...but in fear of losing some of my friends, I decided to give in and put pictures of my ever-growing bump. He's really starting to pop out these days-- but I've been grateful to stay pretty small up until now. Heaven knows I'll be huge soon enough.
Everything is going great and I'm getting soooo excited to be a mom to this little guy!

D.I. sure knows how to "ROCK"

(Andrew thought of that clever title by the way...)

Speaking of Andrew, he's so awesome! Knowing that I've been wanting to find a cool old rocker to fix up for the nursery, he stopped by D.I. today on his way home from work and found this little gem!
It's perfect! We can't wait to sand it down and stain it to match the baby's crib!

The Silliman's come to visit!

So I was having too much fun take any pictures but my is mom and dad came to visit this past weekend. We had a blast and it was just what the doctor ordered after a very busy last couple weeks. They spoiled Andrew and I as usual, and little man now has his first wardrobe ready to go. Thanks Grandma!!

I am just so grateful for my parents, for their continual love and support, they're amazing examples, and the force for good they are in our lives. I couldn't ask for better parents and I love them to death, not to mention I miss them like crazy!

I'm now counting days til my graduation when I see them next!

No new pictures, but here's an old one just for fun!
