Glowing Momma to Be

My best friend Sonja Sapp is pregnant, due on March 30th and she is so excited and glowing.  I took some pictures of her and her husband Zack today.  It was so much fun!

25 Random Things about Me

I have this guilty pleasure of reading Us Weekly and it was so bad that Sean had to buy me a 6 months subscription two Christmas's ago, because it was cheaper.  I hardly ever read it, but every once and a while I will pick one up from the grocery store.  In Us Weekly, they also do "25 things you dont know about me" about a celebrity.  So I thought I would change it to: "25 Random things about me".  Here it goes!

1. I love to read, seriously, either history textbooks, books, or any book I will be anti-social and just read. Currently I am reading Captivating.
2. sweats is my favorite outfit in the entire world.
3. I love the feeling of fresh leaves during the fall, when I stomp on them and they just crackle under my feet.
4. I have split my chin open four times and have had to have stitches each time.
5. I love a clean kitchen, I hate seeing dirty dishes just sitting in the sink.  I cannot stand it!
6. I miss my old friends when we would run to each others houses or ask our parents to drive us. when there were no responsibilities.
7. I love movies or are rather addicted to watching as many as possible. I am over 21 and do not drink I only watch movies.
8. I treat my pug Rudy, like a son and would not have it any other way.  Some people think hes spoiled, I think he is spoiling me.
9.  I miss my old coworkers.  I love the people I work with now, but our girl dynamic is not the same without them...(Steff, Jen, and Jordan ;( ).
10.  I want to travel to Ireland, Italy, Africa, and Haiti.
11. I love to scrapbook.
12. I eat macaroni and cheese with cinnamon apple sauce, don't judge until you try it but you have to mix it.
13. As soon as I get home, I change out of my work clothes into my comfy clothes.  I can do it in under 30 seconds.  Its like magic.
14. I love to take long baths, its the best.
15. I like to hold hands and walk in the snow.
16. It annoys me when people spell my name wrong: Haley, Haylee, Hayleigh, Hailey, Haily.  Even in emails when I sign my name, I mean come on!
17. I was obsessed with Harry Potter and it was borderline crazy.
18. I enjoy traveling in airports, sometimes alone and just trying to find out where to go next.  I am so comfortable at airports.  Weird, I know.
19. I love the smell of gasoline and white board markers.
20. I take WAY too many pictures of everything.
21. I enjoy to paint on white canvas and write a story.
22. I get lost in country music.
23. My family are my best friends.
24. I love to travel the world and talk about Jesus to complete strangers.
25.  I loved chip and dale rescue rangers as a child.  Dale was my all my favorite.  I carried this little figurine of him in my pocket always.

Cute Kiddos

Cute kids right?  I had the pleasure of hanging out with EB from work and her two adorable kids.  We made Valentines decorations and Courtney, was holding one of them up that she made for Rudy, how cute.  I had such a blast, partly because I am a kid at heart :).  We watched Lilo and Stitch and I was just as focused in the movie as the kids were.  

Adoption

God has given me a heart for adoption.  Sean probably thought it was just a phase when we were dating, but God has truly changed (if He needed to change) Sean's heart for adoption.  I would love to have one or two of my own kiddos and then adopt overseas.  There are so many children even in America and overseas that need a home.  I really want to adopt from a third world country where I can give a child, or children :) a better life.  I have wanted to adopt for so long now, even before the whole crazy celebrity adoption fad (Angelina Jolie).  I have always wanted to give a kid a home they never had.  I am so excited for when that time comes!  I just want to fly over to where ever we will adopt from and pick up my baby or toddler.  How could you say no to the pictures below?

Rudy Wednesday

I love the feeling of coming home after a long day and Rudy is just waiting for me to walk through the door.  He is so excited to see me no matter what.  I could have an awful day and just seeing his love for me makes me forget being at work or the cold weather and just see how amazing he is!  Having a dog is the best decision Sean and I have ever made.  I cannot believe I would love something so little as Rudy with all my heart.  I cannot wait to have kids, because if I feel a quarter for them as I feel for Rudy, then my life is complete.  I know I will love them more, but I did not even think I could care for this little guy as much as I do.  He is my little boy and my best friend.  I love taking care of him and him taking care of me.

I love Flannel

I love Flannel and could wear it everyday if my work let me do it.  I love wearing it when its cold and even at night in the summer.  I cannot have enough.  Sean would love to throw out some of my flannel, but he cannot stop me from wearing it!  These pictures make me miss my dear friend Sarah who left me for Florida ;(.  I went to her bday party one year and we both wore flannel without planning it (hence the second pic lol).
