Ok,
So I don't know if you are like me and don't have much patience for THOSE drivers who may not be as skilled as yourselves, but here is a little thought I have that sometimes helps me out. Come on, you know who you are Mr. or Mrs. I drive slow in the left lane because I don't like the merging traffic. Mr. or Mrs. I drive slow until the passing lane then I speed up so no one can pass me. Mr. or Mrs. I like to drive in your blind spot on the freeway for one million miles! Sorry for the rant. Anyway, as you can tell, these people were driving me crazy, I was getting road rage. Then, some time ago, I started imagining that Jesus, yes Jesus, was behind the wheel of every car. Stay with me here. So, when that driver is going slow in the left lane and holding up FIFTY cars and I'm edging up on their back bumper! oh sorry, I digress, I just remind myself that it's Jesus behind the wheel of that car and I ask myself, would I tailgate Jesus? Ouch, then I back off and try to be nice. Now, I don't always remember to drive like this, but I find that it does lessen my stress level a bit, so I thought it was some advice for all of my fellow drivers out there who actually pay attention to the FACT THAT YOU ARE DRIVING AND THERE ARE OTHERS AROUND YOU, oops, I digressed again. Anyway, yeah, Jesus is driving that car...

I got to meet Jen and Kyles bundle of cuteness this weekend....Sleeping Beauty sums it up. Its hard to remember Wes being that small and that easy! ha ha! We also got a good video...Wes cracking up at a balloon! He doesn't laugh very often (but smiles a lot) so this is rare footage. I guess we know what to get for his birthday!
Dave was home this week and we had a ton of fun. We bought new furniture, went to the pumpkin patch, hosted Dave's family, went horseback riding and ran a half marathon!! Like I said fun and busy week! This was our first 1/2 marathon and it went great- I'm sure we will do another someday. And to top it all off Wes took his FIRST STEPS this weekend!!! He is officially
"walking" at 11 1/2 months. He is getting good a his new skill and tries it often...makes it a few steps then falls, but it will be only a matter of time until he's running! Good thing I've been training! ha.
A few weeks ago I hosted my old roommate and sweet friend, Jennifer Lind's, baby shower. April, Charity, Katie and I all planned it and it was so fun I was shocked how the time flew when the last few left at 6pm...I didn't want it to end. The theme was vintage birdy- the decorations by Katie were fabulous and the food yummy. Here are a few pics from the beautiful day. Jen I am so excitd to meet Kiera May- she is so lucky to have you as parents!
Also I have been learning how to sew this year so I made Jen's presents- a Hooter Hider with a burpcloth sewn in....
And a hooded bath towel (sorry the picture is sideways). They both came out really cute and I can't wait to see a picture of Kiera after a bath!
