Life as of Late







I just decided that i'd make a top ten of things that have are going on for us lately!

1. I'm 30 weeks along! and growing everyday. Yikes! The other night, I had my first expirience with Braxton Hicks contractions...... I woke up grabbing for Tyler in the middle of the night (he'll claim i was punching him, but i disagree! haha) I have had stomache cramps before....I promise, it was the weirdest, worst pain ever!! Good luck to me when the real thing happens! ha! Guess i need to toughen up!!

2. Our good friend Edie is out of the hospital and back with her family. She caught a rare, crazy, scary virus that about killed her. She is so lucky & blessed. WASH YOUR HANDS!

3. Our other good friend Kimille Levell pitched a reality television show to the producers of Super Nanny. She is a Life Coach, and started a thing called Heal the Family. She wants to go into peoples homes and work with "broken" families and, heal the family! She is an amazing woman, and we're crossing our fingers for her!

4. I recently educated myself on "GLOBAL WARMING". Here are a few things that i learned.
1. The general public is extremely ill-informed.
2. From 1986 to 2000 central Antarctic valleys cooled .7 degrees C per decade with serious ecosystem damage from cold.
3. Both satellite data and ground stations show slight cooling over the last 20 years
4. During the last four interglacials, going back to 420,000 years, the Earth was warmer than it is today.
5. Antarctia expireneces a longer sea-ice season, lasting 21 days longer than it did in 1979.
6.Parts of Antarctia is melting, but has been for the last 6000 years.
7. Most enviromental groups are led by lawyers, not scientists.
8. It is EXTREMELY rare that these enviromental groups that bring in millions and millions of dollars each year in donations are ever audited.
9. The media runs everything, putting false fear in the general public that WE actually are changing our climate. The Earth has been changing since it was first created, on it's own. Global Warming is ridiculus on every level. It's a scheme to make rich people, richer.
10. and my favorite, did you know that termites produce a gas called Methane? It's considered a "greenhouse gas". (which is what are causing "global warming") There is double the weight of Termites on the Earth then humans, producing more Methane then humans producing CO2.

5. Tyler is working hard in school! :) I do not envy him. I am continuing my education by a few games of scrabble a day. :) Hey! i scored a 247 last night!

6. We are so so so so excited for SUMMER! you know, i'd even settle for spring at this point.

7. I have been teaching myself how to sew. I can make cute little baby shoes, you know the soft soled kind? Oh! and darling stuffed elephants. haha!

8. Tyler's dad Bradly came out on sunday for the day :) even though the trip was short, it was fun to see him for a few hours! I wish they'd come out more often!

9. I think i've ALMOST got Ty hooked to sonic happy hour.

10. We are best friends. We are loving our life.

I am so glad that you have found the truth about Global Warming. You said it all very well. (imagine me saying the next part in my sarcastic voice) But didn't you hear, it's not called "Global Warming" anymore, because of all the cold streaks and record low temperatures many now call it "Climate Change". So now, no matter what the weather, it can all be blamed on us, so be sure to purchase your carbon credits to reduce your carbon footprints on the environment.
