My dog has urinary incontinence. Happy Monday, everyone! I have a feeling this is going to be very random today. But seriously, my Faith dog was officially diagnosed with urinary incontinence today. The poor girl wets her doggy bed when she’s in a deep sleep which leaves me on cleanup duty. Thankfully we got her some medication that is supposed to stop this issue. However, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I’m having to clean up potty messes just months before our baby boy arrives. I think the Lord is preparing me for what’s to come LOL!

I think the store Hobby Lobby exists outside of time. Usually when I go, I have a goal in mind; buy this and that and then get out. But whenever I leave and finally check the time, somehow several hours have passed. It’s one of the only places where I can go hours without checking my phone, my email or facebook. Instead I just daydream about all the fun projects I want to do or how I know the perfect spot for the latest piece I find. Sweet, sweet Hobby Lobby :)

Today I got to be a participant in someone’s dissertation research. The topic…Adoption and Blogging. I was so, SO excited to get to share our adoption story and why I chose to blog about it. I may be a bit biased, but I think this is the coolest dissertation topic EVER! I am just blown away by the ways in which the Lord is connecting us to some amazing people through this process :).

T-59 until our son is born! I am trying to make the most of this time by getting the nursery ready, reading mommy books and having some ‘me’ time. I have about a half dozen half read books on my shelf right now. I always tell myself that I’ll read it later…when I have more time. With baby B’s arrival right around the corner I realized, NOW IS THE TIME! I have made it a point to finish some of the books that are sitting on my shelf while starting new ones as well. Today I finished ‘the Explicit Gospel’ by Matt Chandler. Ummm…incredible! Now I’m onto Dr. Sears’ ‘The Baby Book’, ‘Shepherding a Child’s Heart’, ‘Give them Grace’ and ‘Future Men’. Looking forward to enjoying my quiet time while I still have it!
