Yesterday I found out that a good friend of mine has lost her baby (had a miscarriage). I had to go through one about a year ago and I know it is something I didn't want any of my family or friends to have to go through.
It is hard to know how to help or comfort them even though I just went through this. Everyone is different.
I am just so sad today for her and her family. I have been praying and I know God will take care of her and comfort her in ways none of us know how to. I felt that comfort from Him when I needed Him. I also feel comforted from my Father even when I don't really need it or think I need it.
She put this as her facebook status and I thought it was right on the mark---If life was always easy we wouldn't need a Savior. How true is that? Thank you Jesus for taking care of us.

The new, the old, the boring!
Hey all, I know I know I don't write on here as much as I should, but I just get so busy and I don't remember to.
School has started back up and I AM TIRED! I don't remember being this tired but it is probably the pregnancy. I am teaching 6th grade Math, Science, and Social Studies. So far I had a pretty good group of kids. LOTS of boys in both classes I think we have 24 boys and 12 girls. It makes for an interesting time though.
Justin and I have been working hard to get Kastyn Kayde's bedroom ready for her arrival. I know we are a bit early but we have extra money now so we are buying this we need. We just bought her bedding and now we are just waiting for it to come in. We also bought a stroller and car seat, baby monitor, and other little things. I am stocking up on diapers so I will be prepared when the time comes. Plus my mom has bought me some cloth diapers that I will use when I run out of the disposable ones. Now we just need to order the mural for her room I just got an unexpected check so I know what I am buying with that money..HEHE!!
Other than that things are pretty boring. I have made a really good friend here at school this year. She works in my room alot and we have been good friends. I hope we can start hanging out, outside of school because Justin and I really don't have friends that we hang out with much.
Well, ta ta for now. Love to all.

Kansas!
Justin and I headed back to Kansas last Friday. My mom and sisters were going to be there so I thought we could make a long weekend of it. I had so much fun.
On Sunday, my mom and my best friend Kymberly threw me a shower for little Kastyn Kayde. We got lots of great stuff and lots of hair bows for her. We are getting excited and now I am kind of in a nesting stage because I want to get Kastyn's room for her arrival, even if she isn't coming til December. I am trying to be more organized with her stuff. We have lots of diapers already.
When we were in Dodge City we went to the famous Dodge City Days Parade. I love going to it, but I haven't been able to in many years. We also got to see my cousin's new baby that she had the Monday before we left. I would write her name but I have no idea how to spell it. She is a cutie.

Sorry it's been so long!
I have been trying harder to keep up with my blog but I have been and really really sick.
Over the 4th of July, Justin and I went with his parents to a festival they work and we sold lemonade and turkey legs for them. It was HOT, HOT, HOT and lots of hard work.
This last weekend on Saturday a great man of God Scotty went to be with the Lord. He and his wife go to our church and Scotty will sure be missed.
On Monday morning about 5 o'clock I went to the bathroom and I don't think I left that room for 2 days. I was so sick. Everyone keeps asking if it was the baby or flu. I know how the difference and I would say for sure it was the flu. I haven't been this sick in a long time, and Justin had never seen me so sick. I am getting better I am still really weak today. We are going to visit my dad this weekend and help Justin's parents again. I am not looking forward to it since I have been really sick. I just hope I can make it.
I will be 18 weeks pregnant on Sunday. It is getting so close. On July 26th we hopefully get to find out what we are having if the baby cooperates. I pray he/she will.

Sunday
Today I am 15 weeks along in my pregnancy. I can't wait to go to the doctor again. I go on Tuesday. I finally want to hear the heart beat on the little machine they have and not an ultrasound. Wednesday I go to the dentist. I am not excited about that. My wisdom teeth have been hurting and I can't get them taken out until after I have the baby, I think.
Last Friday was Justin's birthday. I took him to the MMA fights in Branson. It is something new that we like to do. I get a date night every 6 weeks now. HEHE!!
With our garage sale money Justin got a weed eater and we also paid off a bill. YAY!! Now he wants to buy a pole saw to go with his weed eater so he can trim trees and let me tell you that is much needed if you ask me.
Well, it's a beautiful Sunday morning and I am headed to church. Have a blessed day.

Fishing and Justin's Birthday
On Monday, Justin took a half day off of work and took Joy and I fishing. Joy is my 18 year old sister. She was so excited because she wanted a boat ride so bad. We didn't catch much, only two, but we had lots of fun. Joy got really really sunburnt and was hurting yesterday. She had to work today and I haven't talk to her so I don't know how she is feeling today.
Justin's birthday is Friday and I have started getting him gifts and wrapping them. I set them on the table last night and he seems to think he already knows all of his presents...Well, he just thinks he knows but I'm no fool. LOL!!

Bargins! And getting excited!!
So my mom is a very thirfty person and she has been helping me get some bargins at local stores. Last week at Walgreens they had diapers on sale for $4.99 originally $8.99. Good deal right. Well it gets better. I then had a infant care coupon that took $2 off each pack of diapers so therefore made each pack of diapers on $2.99. GREAT DEAL!! Making each diaper between 6 and 10 cents a diaper depending on the size. I got 12 packs and my mom got 10 packs for me. So starting out we are looking pretty good for diapers. I know I will still need lots more and if I had the money I would've bought all they had.
I am getting excited about the little one coming and I have already started looking at bedding. I am doing a koala theme in the bedroom so it's not gender specific. My colors are greens, browns, tans, and that such.
