..from where i'm standin': our "low key" weekend..

Not too much excitement going on here at the Johnson household this week-end! The rain & cooler temps was definitely the highlight :) Thank you Lord for the rain!

Friday evening Matt & I stayed in & threw together a hodge podge supper...quesadillas, mac&cheese, tater tots, a salad (to throw in a lil' healthy eatin), & peanut butter delight for dessert. (thanks Mom!) Since all I want these days are "comfort" food, this meal was right on time :) Once my belly was 'bout to bust, I stretched out on the couch, Matt found some boring movie he liked & I was fast asleep! That was some goood sleepin :) Even when he finally woke me to come to bed I staggered to the bed & was right back to la-la land. Normally, if I fall asleep on the couch I can't go back to sleep once I go to bed...I musta been very tired!

Saturday started with lots of cleaning! We (I) have been feeling very sorry for Murphy & Stein lately due to this heat, so we (I) have been letting them in the kitchen to beat the heat...we've gotta find a plan B! Matt got up Saturday mornin' to find them both curled up on the couch! Evidently, when the thunderstorm came through Friday night, one of them (probably Stein b/c Murphy isn't this smart) figured out a way to move part of our barricade & find safety on our couch...Murphy followed Stein's lead. Hence, all the cleaning Saturday! I can't handle the dog hair where I lay...makes me sneeze! Seems like all I do these days is sneeze...missin' my Zyrtec dearly! Saturday evening was nice...we had the neighbors over to grill some wings & I was able to hold lil' Tyler (their almost 11 month old baby)..he's so cute with his two lil' teeth that shine every time he grins :)

The rest of the weekend was very lazy! Matt got some much needed rest..he's been workin' 6 days a week & was exhausted! I don't know how he does it..I'm trying to get him to slow down b/c I know once this lil' one in my tummy makes his/her appearance he'll have no choice :)

We have a busy week coming up, but I'm looking forward to it. My next dr. appt is Tuesday. Doesn't sound like a fun one...full physical exam & discussing insurance coverage..whoopie! Maybe I'll at least be able to hear our lil' one's heartbeat :) That'll make the visit much more interesting! I'm looking forward to dinner with Traci on Wednesday & Mom & I are leaving Thursday for a weekend of shopping at Myrtle!

I was just looking through my calendar this week at the rest of our summer..& man is it full! Weddings, vacations, concerts, birthdays...before we know it Thanksgiving will be here, then Christmas, then it'll almost be time to have a baby! Time is flying! I'm already 12 weeks along & almost to my second trimester..can you believe it?? I guess since I haven't been sick, time has gone by much faster..thank you again Lord!!

Please also keep my cousin Angie in your prayers. She was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. Angie is only a few years older than me & is facing this with great faith! She has two very busy daughters, so I know it's gonna be quite an adjustment for Angie to focus on herself. She is always doing for others & has a heart of gold. Some things are so hard for me to understand, so instead of questioning why this is happening to her, I will just pray that God would heal her body & guide her doctor with great wisdom in deciding the best treatment for Angie.
