Babymoon
I know I should be nesting and such but before I get too huge, we want to go on a babymoon! We're a little tired of the usual suspects (Charleston, HHI, Asheville, sketchy all-inclusives in Mexico) but need to do something on a budget and over a long weekend. Any ideas would be super helpful!

3 point sermon
Wow, my very first blog post! I want to take some time to give credit where credit is due, I would not be where I am today without the following:
* My beautiful and talented sis-in-law, who has opened my eyes to the wonder of blogging
* My senior year English teacher, Mrs. Long, who showed me I have a love for writing only for the sake of editing (I'm a "recovering" perfectionist)
So, what should I write? Well, I will keep it short because it's 10:45 which is way past bed time for pregnant people. I wanted to start a blog for the following reasons, and maybe one of these is universal for all women?:
1. I feel like I have lot more to say than I actually do in a day, how many words are women supposed to use? Sometimes, I fulfill my quota, on those days, I probably won't be blogging.
2. I'm pregnant, which means I'm dealing with double the hormones than I'm used to having. I'm looking forward to crying for hours over how much I love/hate everything and telling everyone (or just myself) about it in this blog.
3. This one is more serious, but the Lord has been working so much in and around me and I believe writing about Him creates monuments in my life that I need. We (I) tend to easily forget the miracles He brings into our (my) everyday lives (I just cried writing that, I warned about the hormones...)
So there is my three point sermon, is that what I'm supposed to do Ash? (I should probably read more blogs...by the way, all the comments in parenthesis are me going back to edit--which is unnecessary in a blog-- and input other thoughts that are probably unnecessary, but this is my blog so I can do what I want, right!?)
