Bryan's parents sent this plant to us last Wednesday. It was the 1 year anniversary of my last and final ectopic pregnancy (February 25, 2008). It was nice to be thought of. And since I had two ectopic pregnancies within 2 years, I thought it quite appropriate there were 2 different plants. I have a new journal and I've decided to save my private thoughts on the 25th to start my new journal for the year.
I love the verse on the journal.
"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1.
I picked this journal because I thought that verse very appropriate for the journey Bryan and I possibly have before us.
I had also ordered some books from Amazon and they came on the exact same day.
In case you are wondering I've been doing an ongoing study on the translations of the Bible and both these books had come recommended. Then I ordered this book from Biblio.com and it came on the exact same day as all the above but at a different time!!
It was as if I was having Christmas in February!!!! Side note: It was cold enough in OK last week that it could have been Christmas!!
I wear a lot of white t-shirts; long sleeve and short sleeve. In the winter I wear a lot of long sleeve under t-shirts and then I use the short sleeve under jackets, sweaters, etc. I need to keep them as long as possible so I bleach them to help them stay as white as possible for as long as possible. I just had to take the above picture. I found it hilarious!! I didn't realize I had so many. When I washed this weekend, I think I used too much bleach this time because as they were washing, my nose started burning and I realized it was the bleach smell!!
Who needs perfume when you can smell like bleach!!! So fresh and clean!! :-) Yeah Right!!!! I will probably scare someone off!!

That was so sweet about the plant - I'm glad they sent you that.
Love the reefs!! The ones I got last summer became my very favorite!
And I LOVE those little pigs in a blanket.
You've been in my thoughts and prayers a lot during the month of February. I kept thinking about what Beth said during Session 4 of Esther..."If ____ then God will take care of me." You are a living testmony of this truth. Love ya!
Anniversaries for ectopic pregnancies can be so bittersweet. I think I've told you before that the middle of February is always hard for me. It was so sweet of Brian's parents to remember and send the plants. And I so approve of the journaling process! It helped me, too. And "piggies in a blanket" are THE best S.S. food! Love ya!
How sweet of Bryan's parents to send the plant.

How thoughtful of Bryan's parents. The plants are just beautiful. Praying for you Julie!
I have to check into Reefs. I also hear a lot about Yellow Box! I think I've been missing out! I'm not a fan of hot dogs, but I can not resist smokies in a blanket! YUM! Oh, and I LOVE that verse on your journal, too. One of my favorites.
I love the plant...that was very thoughtful! I have about 10 pairs of reefs....they are the BEST! I love the brown ones you got!
Haha, loved the pics. Looks like a great time, with great food :)
So sweet of Bryan's parent's go send you the plan!
I need to get me some Reef flip flops before summer!
That was so nice of them to send you those flowers. I am praying that this year will be one of abundant blessings :)!!!

That was so thoughtful of Bryan's parents. I imagine that meant a lot to you.
I love your blog. I found you through Kelly's blog ( I think)....
I am new to the blogging world, but have been an avid reader for several years.
I am so excited about all the new friends I have met in just a couple of weeks.
When you have some time, stop by and visit my blog.

How thoughtful of Bryan's parents to send you such a beautiful plant. I love your new journal and the verse that is on it is one of my favorites, too.
You've got me wanting to wear some flip-flops now. Guess it's about time to be getting a pedicure!
Hope you're having a great weekend!
