Tuesday, May 29th was our 8th wedding anniversary and it was a VERY interesting day...Before I begin this story please remember I am 35 weeks pregnant...It was Tuesday ama nd Tim was already gone to work and I decided to make the girls some breakfast (eggs & hashbrowns) b/c we were out of most of our groceries and b/c I thought it might be nice for them to have something besides cereal, toast or a frozen waffle. As I grabbed my Pampered Chef batter bowl from the dishrack, sitting on the counter next to my stove, I dropped it (pregnancy droppsy) and it landed on my ceramic cooktop and made a spider web crack in the cooktop....UGGGHHHHHHH! I tried to keep it together and madea few calls around town to ask what to do and ALL said it would cost MUCHO DINERO to get it fixed...so here we are one month from having a new babya nd we have a CRACKED cooktop! I began to BALL and BALL! I called Tim at work and he said we should just RELAX and pray about it....UGGGHHHH...looking back he handled me so well, but I just wanted him to get MAD at GOD with me! Anyway.....we made it througfh the day, many tears later, and we still have a broken cooktop. We praise GOD that the batter bowl did not land on me or my protruding tummy, the oven still works, we have a microwave that works, and it's summer so we can grill like mad! Also, yesterdayGod gave me the following idea and so I went out and bought an electric skillet so we can do some cooking indoors. We are planning to save $$ for a while and shop around for what what we might want in a new stove...NO GLASS TOP for sure. However, 2 days later and I am feeling okay with my broken cook-top...there are worse things in this world and my problem is soooo MINOR, but I thank the LORD that HE never misses a beat and HE KNOWS what we need and he provides for those needs! What an anniversary! When Tim got home from work about 8:00- I went straight to bed b/c I was WIPED out! We didn't even exchange cards! However, the story doesn't end there...GMA and GPA Stouta re taking the girls overnight this Friday so we can celebrate our anniversary then! HOORAY!
Summer is here and we are enjoying the freedom of the schedule. We all sleep in until 7:30-8:00 and PLAY ALL DAY! We have had haircuts, been to the library, to several parks, on a picnic, garage saleing, 3 greenhouses (the girls love to look at plants, my dad would be soooo proud!), Uncle Dan's softball games, and we are now waiting for warmer days so we can hit the pool a few afternoons a week.
Only 4 and a half weeks until the baby comes...I did find a few boy things last week and now we are looking for a few girl things. I have a HUGE list of things to get at Target for the hospital and post-delivery for me and the munchkin. Saturday, is work day at the Stout house and we are fixing the gate to the backyard, doing some yard work, and a few indoor projects too! HOORAY!
That's it from here...I leave a few pics from our recent happenings....
