We've had 50/50 guesses on the gender...what do you think it is? Boy or Girl?
We'll announce on Christmas! EXCITING!

SURPRISE! --No surprise there!
My boss decided to go out with a bang!
I don't know how much people know about the stress of my boss but she has pretty much made my work life (and sometimes my home life) a living HELL. I would only see her for 20 min a day but in those 20 min she would manage to critique EVERYTHING I do and then give me a list that was forever long of things to do...including lifting 25 + boxes (even though I gave her a dr.s note)-that's just [my boss]. It would literally be -what can she say today? and you would think that she would never do or say anything like that but she would always surprise you with it! I would always fulfill her lists and she would always use my arrangements before hers.
Well, I decided that I had had enough of her walking all over me and her negativity so i out in my two weeks notice. When I went into work Monday, she decided to drop the bomb (in front of the other employee) that she just doesn't want to put up with me anymore and she laid me off.
I'm relieved-surprised-once again-that she would do this to me especially since I never gave her any trouble, but it's over and done with and I actually feel good about it.
Her loss at Christmas time and busy season!

Baby Update
We went to the doctor today for a check up. It was the first time that Lyle got to hear the baby's heartbeat-so awesome! AND we find out what we are having in four weeks...five days before Christmas...what a great gift. The other great news is that I have only gained 3 lbs so far! I was so happy to hear that since I feel like I've gained so much even though I've been trying to eat healthy, but honestly I haven't. Pretty cool!
So at this point, I am 14 1/2 weeks and I actually feel really good! I just got over a few sicknesses and finally feel like I can go back to life and enjoy being pregnant.
I'm still searching for maternity clothes...I'm down to two pairs of not so nice pants and just tshirts so my wonderful parents are coming down and we are going maternity shopping. I have a little belly but not enough for people to notice that i am prego...I see and feel the difference.
The weeks seem to fly by especially with the holidays coming and work soon to be over and then seeing family soon after.
Lyle and I are just so happy!! Can't wait for May to be here so we can meet our sweet baby!

Floral arrangements part 2
I have been taking these pictures on my phone and I finally got around to moving them over...here are some arrangements that I have been proud of:
Request for a baby girl arrangement
Request for bright colors
Request for a spring arrangement with yellows and whites
Request for arrangement with 1/2 dozen pink roses with yellow lilies and white carns
Request for arrangement of red, white and blue (vase) for a returning soldier
Request for a Halloween arrangement
(Fall)
(Fall)
(Summer)
Request for a fall arrangement along with the next arrangement
As you can tell, I do my best in the most pricier arrangments and in vases. I can do the smaller and basket ones but I really enjoy the bigger and pricier. My boss had no idea that I could actually do these...she's only around for 20min and then I cover the afternoon shift just myself...she never sees my work unless it goes in the cooler. The other day she was in working on a wedding and I did an arrangement she thought I would have problem with and I didn't and she was surprised. HA! Take that!
Anyway, the onle that have writing under them are the ones that I had a special request from the customer and the others are the free of choice arrangements. I sure am proud of all of them and wish my boss would be willing to teach me more. I truely enjoy floral design.

Kids...ranting
What have I been up to lately aside from the monotonous time at work? Well, I've become a babysitter. If it's not Davis, then it's Aubrey, then it's Greg, then it's Chloe, then it's...
So I was talking to my boss the other day and I was telling her about the cute kids that I watch and she commented "What do they think you are, a babysitter? (all snooddy-like)" I said well yeah, it's not like I do anything in the morning before work anyway-so why not. (She sneers because she wanted me to work as a driver for her in the mornings so she could hire another person for the office...long story I don't want to get into-I told her I wouldn't because I babysit in the morning for my friends). I said, one friend is job hunting so he drops his kid off every now and then and another began work, and another...so I am there to watch their kids. She replies "well they're taking advantage of you-you're not here for them to USE as their babysitter. How rude is that!" (even though she uses me at work and doesn't think that's rude?)(Let me just say that my boss has a very different view of the world according to Janet and I have to put up with it EVERYDAY!)
...my reply...I ENJOY IT!
As I think more about it, because my friends have been so gracious to LET me watch their kids, my days are happier and I feel like I actually accomplished SOMETHING than just sitting in a little flower shop being degraded by my boss and then killing 5 hours with no business...yeah, I'd take kids over that ANY day-crying, runny nose, no sleep and ALL. I love kids and can't wait to be a mother, but even when that wonderful day comes, I'll still watch your kids!

-teases you but you know that's his way of telling you he loves you.
-saves you from being just a place holder in the game of settlers.

-will give up his football for games one after the other.
-will rub your feet even more and will find EVERY sore point in your feet
and press them to "make it feel better".
