sunday morning post

Tired of me yet? :)

Another 5:15AM morning for me.  Yikes.  Jeremy and I were both really tired last night, but I feel awake now after a long morning.  Its so strange to have like 3 hours up before going to church, because growing up we were always rushing out the door and I would try and sleep in until the last possible minute before getting up.

I loved all the happy posts yesterday!  I thought I'd share some of my Saturday!  Shea and I went to the park up in Silverdale, and I wish I had my camera...he was so cute!  He was scared of the big slide at first, but after he got up the courage to scoot down, he could not stop!  He would slide down and then immediately run up the stairs and go on it again.  He probably did it 15 times in a row before we had to leave!

We went to Ross, which I haven't been to in a long time, because I wanted to look for some basic clothes for Shea.  I ended up buying a dress for only $7.99 and a cute new top. I'm wearing the dress today and after I got ready I went in the bedroom and Jeremy told me that I looked cute today. Yay for actually buying clothes my husband likes!  Probably curling my hair helped too (he doesn't like straightened hair on me)


I also bought a new rug for in the bathroom for four dollars.  Here is my husband who would NOT get out of bed this morning (he just did), my rug, some daffodils I picked up at albertsons yesterday, my favorite cup which I had my tea in this morning, and my flowers from my preschoolers in my kitchen window.  I love love love having places for fresh flowers in the house!  Our apartment didn't get enough sunlight or had enough spots for vases in it.  Amber, I just had this pop into my head: "the only good flower is a dead flower". hahaa.


I also finished my book last night, and here is the good word I received from it:  Draw closer to God, find out what I am passionate about, and DO IT.  I have some things that I have been feeling very strongly about wanting to see change in our community, but have been putting them on the back burner.  I feel really encouraged to allowing God to lead me and clarify exactly what my role is!  Its an exciting feeling.

A not so exciting feeling is that for Jeremy's mom's birthday next weekend, she wants the family and kids to meet them at a condo for dinner and swimming.  The unexciting part is me in a swim suit.  Although, I have worked out for 4 days straight, I'm the one without the excuse of being pregnant.  Oh boy.  I have a long way to go in the self-image department.

Hope you girls have a lovely Sunday TOO!  It looks like its going to be nice out here - we'll probably venture out to the park again today if it warms up.

  1. Becca, you are beautiful! I feel the same way about being in a swimsuit, and I have never been pregnant! When I was in Cuba though, there were some women in bikinis that shouldn't have been (60 year olds)...making me feel a lot better about my tankini! I love your dress (and the price!). I want to start wearing more dresses, its a quick complete outfit.

  2. Becca, you are gorgeous and skinny! I am sure you will look awesome in a swim suit! I love your new bath mat, and flowers, and dress, and the tea. Sounds like you had an awesome saturday and a great start to a day. :) Thanks for sharing!

  3. Becca, you are so the perfect size! Remember New Year's Eve I was telling you how fit you looked? I'm proud of you for working out the last 4 days.

    I want to see pictures of your gorgeous body in a swim suit. I've always been jealous that you could fill out a bikini top better than me.

    Love you!

  4. Thanks for the self-esteem boost, girls :) And Amber, you have no idea. I totally gained a belly since New Years, because I just like stopped working out and started snacking all the time. Yikes.

    P.S. And about the swim suit top...this is probably TMI, but my boobs have shrinked up dramatically since those days. I don't know what happened. They were, of course, huge when pregnant and breastfeeding, and since I stopped breastfeeding, they are smaller than they've ever been. But it is actually a welcomed thing. I can finally fit into my tops without feeling completely immodest. So much you girls have to look forward to...:P
