Realized why people say WOW.

LOL! I walked passed this mirror in my living room that is waiting a place in my bedroom. I caught a complete side view and about fell out! Now I can see why on Sat. these two tiny girls walking by me said"WOW!" out loud. LOL! I know the belly is big and can see that from my vantage point, but hadn't really taken time to see the "big" picture. LOL! Yeah well, I see it now! Shane is even wondering what is up. He still can't believe it and this is our 4th. Hee hee! :)

All is going well. The gestational diabetes is under control with diet, or not so, if I don't eat right. We had a small potluck at church last night and well, I didn't eat junk, but what I ate wasn't exactly diabetes friendly. :) But at home I do quite well. In fact I have a hard time adding enough carbs. I know how to eat low carb, but with lunch and dinner I need 60 of them. Wowzers. That is hard to do. I mainly do it with fruit. I am enjoying the fruit that is for sure. I just can't keep it stocked. :) The kids are enjoying it too. :)

Hope all is well with everyone.

Pictures again...

More pictures of our time away....

..a worded post is below. :)

Our time away.

Shane and I went to the mountains of North Carolina for our 20 year anniversary, and it was such a blessed time! We miss the mountains as that is something we loved GREATLY about Washington, and well, Charleston doesn't exactly boast of such beauty. :)

We left the babies with a friend who has five kids so they had a great time. I missed them by the end, but I firmly believe a time away for couples is a must in life. I have been VERY blessed over the past few years to have that opportunity because I have had very dear friends to help us. Thank you Jenny for three years ago at this exact time. ;0) THAT is a time I shall never forget! (Bet you won't either...hee hee!)

It is quite beautiful where we went and so relaxing. I can't imagine having the job the couple has that runs the bead and breakfast. I would love living there and getting to meet new people everyday. This place was just breathtaking! As we drove around the area I couldn't help but marvel at God's awesomeness!! To see what He made and we get to enjoy it is so wonderful!! America is a beautiful country and having gotten to live in so many places is something I don't take for granted. I know some never get to see outside their own back yards and I have been in all four corners of the U.S. and it is just awesome!

I'll share some pictures of the cabin we stayed in, the valley pictures are from the deck of the main lodge where we ate breakfast each morning. We had fantastic breakfasts each morning. The people were oh so nice!

Again, I am thankful the Lord has blessed Shane and me beyond measure! In the time of troubled marriages, I am thankful to be married to one of the GREATEST men around! I love Shane more and more as the days go by, and soooo grateful for all he is!
