What is it about a pregnant belly that makes ladies (mainly ones you've never seen in your life)want to give your stomach a good old crystal ball rub? It's kinda weird, yet sweet. Being the toucher that I am, I am usually not freaked out by this. However, when I am in the cereal aisle looking for Corn Pops and a woman talking on her cell phone gives G a good rub then continues with her conversation, is a bit strange. If you're going to touch the stomach at least:
a. buy me dinner
b. buy my cereal
c. strike up some kind of conversation!

Baby Shower #1
So I was able to go home to St. Louis and have a shower there. My sister, mom and bf Sid put the whole thing together. I had a wonderful time and was so happy to see everyone especially my family. So here are a few pics of some of the awesome stuff Baby G got.

And now we have a baby blog!
I figured I'd turn this into a baby blog eventually. Even though Georgia is not here yet, I guess I could still talk about all the funny things she's doing in the belly! So it begins and I promise to update more than once every other month.

Stuff on my mind!
So about a month ago I must say I was offended for the first time in my life! By some crazy homeless person no less! Now let's back up and let me just say that I am not easily offended, AT ALL! I have very thick skin (compliments of mom and dad) so when people say extremely ignorant things to me or around me, I rarely pay them mind or take offense. This lady was different because she was oh so rude. I loathe rude people!! So the convo with this lady went like this:
Me: Hello welcome to 1st Presbyterian Church, how may I help you??
Crazy Homeless Lady: Yes when are the services held?
Me: We have 3 services on Sunday, 2 traditional and 1 contemporary. They are at 8:00 and 11:00. The contemporary is at 10:45
CHL: Wait slow down and say that again!
Me: We have 3 services on Sunday, 2 traditional and 1 contemporary. They are at 8:00 and 11:00. The contemporary is at 10:45
CHL: (With a rude tone) Ok ok ok Just say 2 services one at 8:00 and 11:00 that's all you have to say! Do you have global missions here??
Me: Yes we do
CHL: Are you from one of those countries?
Me: NO! I'm an American
CHL: Are you sure?
Me: Yeah, are you?? (In a rude tone)
CHL: Do you know who the Spurs are?
Me: (A WTF look on my face)
CHL: One Name Tim Duncan
Then she walked down the stairs and left. I've called a lot of crazy things in my life, but her sheer ignorance really pissed me off! Thanks the Lord above that I was working at a church, I had to catch myself and bite my tongue!
Speaking of rude people! I was at Chick-fil-a the other night waiting in line to order when an lady walks in and slams her drink down. I'm looking at her thinking, "I hope you don't think you getting in front of me because Chick-fil-a is my weekly crack fix and I will fight you!" One of the worker must have sensed this or they are just very good with customer service (probably the latter) and came to her aide and asked what they could do for her.
Well she then told them that those in the drive thru gave her the wrong drink and now she's late for work. The employee apologized, gave her the correct drink she ordered then offered her a free brownie for her troubles.
Instead if taking the delicious brownie, she snatched the drink and walked out! I was very tempted to tell her how rude she was, but decided that fighting in Chick-fil-a would not be very lady or Christ like! And that I really wanted my nuggets more than anything!!
Honestly, it YOUR fault you are late, if you had taken the time to leave early enough to go get food and go to work, you wouldn't be late now would you! Don't get mad at them because you suck at time management. Besides you needed that Diet Tea more than that Diet Dr. Pepper!
Ok and I'm done with my rant, of course til the next silly person comes along!

Bonjour!
So we just got back from St. Louis on a lovely trip to go see my family and friends. It was exhausting and wonderful at the same time. Driving from Chesterfield to UCity to see both families totally blows since a great part of the highway is shut down.
Everyone behaved(some of you reading this know what I'm talking about!)and a great time was had by all. Going back home makes you realize the little, simple things you had taken for granted. Like moms and dads, friends, nieces, nephews, sisters, brother, aunts and uncles, cousins and Pizza ago-go and Hunan House! Pictures are coming soon!
P.S. I'm made the decision to go back to school! SCARY!!!!!!!!

List!
So I'm going to take a page out of my friend Annie's book! She sometimes likes to make list when blogging, so I figured why not list the random thought in my head!!
1. I'm constantly have to remind myself that it IS October here in Texas not June. While I miss the smell of fall in St. Louis and the leaves and the cool breeze, I don't miss waking up to 30 degree weather!
2. I wish I wore socks today.
3. I still refuse to say ya'll!
4. I'd like to have as many kids as possible, then adopt.
5. Marriage is probably one of the hardest things I have ever gone through in my life, it's also the most rewarding.
6. I miss my nieces and nephews and hope that the smaller one recognize me when we go home for a visit.
7. Yes mister, I am married, happily married so would you kindly stop eye raping my from across the room?
8. I need a non mission trip vacation.
9. My birthday is tomorrow and I'm finding as I get older I care less about celebrating it.
10. I'm so proud of my husband!! Even though I don't tell him that and I guess I should.

Babies, Babies everywhere!
So it seems like everyone I know is with child! This whole "stages of life" is a strange thing to me. Not too long ago everyone was getting married, now they're all popping out kiddies. While I have a strong desire to have children, part of my is so selfish that I don't want to give up my freedom to do whatever, travel to wherever. I gave part of that up when I said I do, actually we both did, gladly. At this point, I'm torn, but I will have to quit wanting to plan this trip and that one and settled down in a sense. The hubby is more than ready! I find it so funny when it happens that way, I always thought I'd be ready first, but honestly I don't know that I really am.

So...
I'm debating on whether to delete this page considering I (we) don't get to update the blog that much, I guess I'll call it quits or starting updating it on a weekly basis. Decisions, decisions!

Been a long time... sorry
So it's been a long while since Shaun or I have updated this thing. Here is my attempt!
We have adjusted quite nicely to San Antonio and beside the digusting heat we like it here. I still don't have a job yet, but am doing some temp work for the moment at a church here. Shaun's work has become quite busy and will be for a while, he still enjoys it though. I will say Texas is a whole notha world!!!!! People really do make things up as they go!
Here are a few of the wonderful highlights since moving here, things I have learned.
1. People could care less if you have a horn when you are alerting them that they do not get to run the red light to turn left in front of you. Oh and that's the fourth car in a row that did it!
2. Blinkers are for suckers!
3. Some people are the nicest folks you'll ever meet! They actually wave and say hello first!!!
4. No one cares I'm married to a white man, weird looks are non existent.
5. Jean panties are all the rage! I know it's hot, but I really don't need to see your 12 yr old's butt cheeks! My daughters will wear potato sacks out if we still live here and they're that age.
6. All the emo kids live here.
7. Best Margaritas are here PERIOD!
8. The shoulder on the highway during traffic is considered another lane.
9. Leave your car for 2 minutes in the grocery store parking lot and it'll feel like you left it there for 3 hours.
10. Building a home is stupid cheap! So we did!
All in all we're liking it alot here. The best yet to come... I hope!
