Pillow Talk

My husband is so passionate about putting into practice new things he learns. You might remember here when he attempted to put speed reading into practice after my little lesson on it.

We are currently in a marriage study with our community group and it is going fabulously. I have to admit it has brought out both good things, and things we need to work on.

After the communication chapter though, a shout out to my husband for this sly move.

Laying in bed together sharing about our day:

Me = Talking about something that happened
Eman= Getting closer and closer to my side of the bed
Me= Still talking about my day
Eman= "Can this turn into a non-verbal communication?"

Hmmm....I don't remember that in the chapter.

A Year

I remember saying that my "ideal" situation after having a baby would be to take a year off of work. Apparently God heard me...in fact I know that He did.

After 11.5 months home with my precious princess I will be returning back to work. God is amazing. It was not quite as "ideal" as I would have liked...there were a few too many tears and a little more stress, but each day has been a treasure.

I am the new Sr. Regulatory Compliance Project Specialist for GOJO- the inventors of Purell hand sanitizer.

Thank you God for answered prayer...both ways.

US Citizen

My loving, darling husband deserves a post all of his own! In the midst of all the traveling, weddings and craziness he has finished the process and was sworn in as an American citizen.

I am so proud of him and we are truly blessed by God. Here are some pictures from the day.

Spruce Goose

It was New Years Day and I agreed to go to the movies with a certain African man. After dinner at Cracker Barrel (my favorite Mexican placed was too packed) we went to see a movie. That movie was Aviator and it ended up being the first date to a wonderful marriage.

Fast forward over 5.5 years. We agree to visit an aviation museum with my Grandma Vaage in McMinnville, Oregon. Lo and behold there is the very same plane on display from the Aviator. Howard Hughes Spruce Goose! We got to tour the inside and even get a picture in the pilots seat.

Pretty cool!!!

Parties!!

We just got back from 10 days in Wisconsin. My friend Amber got married and my friend Jess celebrated her bachelorette party! We had lots of fun. :)
