Liebster

Not sure exactly what a Liebster is...but my friend Amanda @ wandering on purpose nominated me, so here I am. I'm going to tell you 5 facts about myself, then nominate 5 others for the Liebster.



So...here goes!

1. I used to drive a pick-up truck. An 87 Chevy with a big ol' engine. I thought I was hot-diggety driving that thang. This is when I was 20 and living in Missouri for college. I drove it home to Delaware with my mama after I graduated. That thing was really cool, honestly. I ditched it when I started commuting to University of Delaware because it was bad on gas. I still miss it though...

2. I love to travel. I love seeing new places, cultures and people. I've been to England, Scotland, Bahamas, Spain, Bermuda, Mexico, and Ukraine. And several of the United States. So far.

3. I really, really love riding horses and miss it so much! I am looking forward to the day that I have the opportunity to ride again!

4. Once my best friend Kiri and I went hiking and back country camping in Shenandoah State Park for a few days. In the middle of the night the 2nd night, we woke up to the terrifying sounds of BEARS poking around our tent. We laid there frozen for about an hour while they sniffed and dug around, but thankfully they eventually got bored and scampered off.

5. I majored in Human Services at UD. I specifically studied adoption and foster care and did my internships in that field. It really helped light the fire I feel for orphan care and Behn and I are looking forward to the time when we can be more actively involved in this calling.

Ok, so that's a little about me! Not much to it. I'm nominating these fine friends. (Friends, feel free to go ahead and complete your Liebster blog or to skip it, if you're not into it.)

      Oh good! I'm glad you are enjoying that. I so nearly put you in this list, LR, but wasn't sure if you wanted to keep your blog more private? But I can add you if you want to participate!

    Looking forward to checking out your friends' blogs.
    Curious where you went to school in Missouri since I have now lived here 1/3 of my life.

      I went to Cottey College in small Nevada, MO. About an hourish north of Joplin :) I was there 2 years.

    Ooo! Thank you for nominating me! :) I think I'll go ahead and do a post for this sometime soon. I'm also not really sure what all these awards really mean. But the last one I got generated a lot of traffic on my blog, so I guess that's a good enough reason for them! :-P

    I always enjoy reading yours Meg! :)

Currently (what's up right now)

Ok, few dear readers, I haven't heard from you much lately. Which I get...because sometimes this blog is kind of BOOOORRRRING! So, just for fun, here's what is going on currently: Currently Watching: Downton Abbey , like the rest of the world. The heard the season finale on Sunday is 'devastating.' How can anything be more devastating than episode 4?? Downton , I warn you, if you are disappointing or break my heart, I will leave you.           I also dabble in Parks and Rec and Parenthood , with a side of The Bachelor . Currently Sweating: me, on the treadmill in the basement. This, with the combination of cutting out sodas and some snacks, means that the jeans that were very  tight when I first had Patrick are now comfortably baggy. YES! I still have work to do, but am feeling better about myself. Currently Reading: 7  by Jen Hatmaker You guys, I love this book.  "A mutiny against excess." Jen Hatmaker journals through seven months of givin

I haven't done one of these in a while, but I have been reading. Here is what is on my bookshelf: The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson I first got to know Clarkson when I read the book Desperate, which she co-authored with Sarah Mae. I friend from church had raved about Clarkson, and so lent me this book when I showed interest in more of her writing. I'm only a few chapters in, but loving it so far. And, frankly, I really need to be reading these sort of books right now, in the throes of "Stop it!" "Don't kick your brother!" "Obey me RIGHT NOW" and the never ending dishes...the early mornings...the snotty noses...the incessant whining...the poopy diapers...in all the ordinary and mundane that is motherhood. To be reminded this is a mission- gives it so much more significance. The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays by Ree Drummond My sweet sister-in-law Lydia gifted me with this (signed!) copy of the Pioneer

Patrick Wilford is Here!

Both of my boys (what, I have 2 boys?) are napping right now, so it's time to update this blog with Patrick's birth story before I forget the details. Words to describe Patrick's birth: terrifying. fast. wonderful. merciful. unforgettable. We'll start with Friday, September 7th. I had my 39 week OB appointment and was 2 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Promising, but no guarantee I'd go into labor too soon. However, I did go ahead and schedule an elective induction for the following Tuesday (the 11th) because I liked the idea of knowing I'd make it to the hospital, plus my favorite doctor was on call that day, plus Behn had that whole week off of work so I knew he'd be there for everything. So it just made sense, even though I did want to try to have another natural childbirth. On Saturday (the 8th), I was excited because I knew there was a coldfront coming in. I was so ready for cool, unhumid air, but also was hopeful the change in the air pressure would c
