currently + blogger love
wearing | loving maternity jeans with my knockoff $12 navy chuck taylor’s! serious question: how does one ever go back to wearing normal pants?! they are the most comfortable thing in the world!! it’s the feel of leggings yet the look of jeans- so incredible.
looking forward to | a weekend in my home state – we are traveling up friday after work for a wedding in cincinnati on saturday {one of my very best college friends- could not be more excited for her- she is so sweet.} and then my hometown baby shower is sunday at a coffee shop in smalltown, usa. i am beyond the moon excited to celebrate baby boy with family members and dear forever and ever friends. i am very thankful for everything my mom and sister have done for the shower and can’t wait to enjoy time with loved ones.
reading | we have been turning off our cellphones in the evenings {part of my post last friday} and have been reading books- it’s been serene, peaceful, and extra special – with baby joining us. i am starting the circle maker {a gift from my friend, renee} and am really enjoying it!! thank you again, sweet girl
listening to | so… i discovered prime country on xm {after months of listening to the coffee house channel, which is also fantastic} and i could not be more in love. hello, real country music. i missed you- so much. just last week i thought about how i don’t drive down the road blaring music and wanting to sing at the top of my lungs- sad i know 🙂 i thought, ‘maybe it’s city living… maybe it’s my age!?’ … and then i turned on prime country and it all came back. my friends and i used to cruise on back country roads all day listening to these songs- back when country still had some twang {eric church is my only remaining hope of carrying this on…} but it’s refreshing to hear the songs i loved so much. recently, i heard ‘don’t take the girl’ by tim mcgraw and tears started to roll… i forgot about the reason why she was going to leave his life as an adult and it made me so emotional- i am sure the pregnancy hormones didn’t help…!
encouraged by | my faith and daily devotionals
wanting | a photo printer! i have been working on my project life scrapbook for baby boy and am constantly going to target/cvs to print my photos {which they usually mess up- regarding quality/orientation} this printer is definitely on my wishlist: a canon pixma in gold {they had me at gold.}
grateful for | the close relationship i have with my sister- she’s my rock, daily inspiration, and very best lifelong friend.

I still can't wear normal jeans without feeling uncomfortable… I'm four kids in and can not even be bothered with jeans.

it was so sweet- i loved how it was outside! my sister wanted to do that … but we didn't know if we should risk the weather {and it's supposed to be awesome outside!!} of course ♥ but a coffee shop is right up my alley, too! loved your photos – you looked beautiful!
