I left my brain back in Yosemite - be back soon!

7 Quick Takes

— 1 —

 It has been quite the busy week at work. So busy, in fact, that the coordinator of the Children's program at Church called me on Thursday and I still haven't called her back! I put my name down to volunteer on occasional Sundays in the Little Church program at our church. It's for ages 3-5 on Sundays during the 9:30am mass. Now I feel bad about not getting back to her...

Brian finished his two weeks of training (or boot camp as he likes to call it) for the writing program, which he is teaching this semester. He had to be there at 9am each morning, so we carpooled. Normally he would take the bus but since I was headed in that direction it wasn't a problem. Except that he made me late to work everyday this week. :) I'm glad things will be back to normal next week.

 Our Yosemite vacation starts tomorrow! We are leaving around 10am, and we should get there around 3pm, then we can check into our hotel. All our anniversary presents are wrapped and ready to go...lots of fun surprises on Sunday I'm sure! Still need to pack though...

Speaking of packing I can't find the tops to my swimsuits. In my endless wisdom I separated my bottoms from my tops, putting my tops somewhere less than obvious in a place I would never have remembered. So I have nothing to wear in the pool. Unless I want to go topless. I make things so easy for myself. The next time I decide to put something "where I won't forget" somebody smack me.

Bayar is my favorite. Since they're not my kids I get to choose.

 I have Babies on the brain. Literally - I'm talking about the documentary. Have you all seen it? It's one of my favorite movies of all time and I highly recommend it. I love learning about how other cultures raise children. I've watched it on Blu-ray four times now!

Three weeks ago my doctor moved me from my suppository to two oral tablets. I tried it for two weeks, and not only did it make me nauseous, but it also didn't work. At all. By the middle of this week I was ready to go to Urgent Care all over again. Thankfully they switched me back and I'm taking the stuff that works again, now once in the morning and once at night. Yeah, it's a suppository and that's not really cool, but at least it works.

Disclaimer: This is not my baby and I am not pregnant.

 Speaking of babies, my husband and I always disagree over whether or not we want to find out the sex of our baby on the ultrasound. I want the first one to be a surprise (I was a surprise) - but Brian NEEDS to know. Like, IreallyneedtoknoworIwilldieofanticipation know. What do you guys think - wait until the day of or find out as soon as possible?

I Hate Change

I especially hate change when I've already got something good going for me...but, sometimes it's a necessity in life. Hence, I got new glasses frames and new sunglasses. My old glasses frames ate the dust in Germany, and they've been hanging on by one replacement screw since I came back. My sunglasses are 5 years old so I am excited about getting new ones.

Anyway,  here are the pictures. For some reason my camera wouldn't focus on them, so they're blurry. But you get the idea!

Black with a grape colored purple

Black with light green inside

I get them in 7-10 business days...hopefully I'll still like them given that I dropped $325 for these two beauties (with insurance!). Dang, glasses are expenses.

Look for some fancy modeling pictures in the coming week or two.

Guest Post

Well, I reached outside the comfort zone of my own little blog, and did a guest post for Mandi at Catholic Newlywed. I am so thankful for the opportunity and very happy to be able to contribute to her On Marrying Young series. You can view my guest post here:
