So Lucky...

This is me. I'm 7 months pregnant now, but it feels like 10 months pregnant!! I guess I don't mind, but it sure makes working at cleaning houses a harder thing than it used to be!!

Speaking of cleaning houses, God has totally provided the work that I needed to continue to bring income into the house. So thank Him for that. It does still put me in a position of having to totally and blindly trust Him though because I don't know how I'm going to continue to work all by myself. The girl that was helping me has now stopped working because it's too much of a strain on her family. So here I go all by my lonesome, but I know deep down that it will all be ok.

I recently got more deeply involved with my little church. I attended the new members class, and then last Sunday, I went ahead and got baptized...in front of the whole church!!! That was nerve-racking, but I wanted to get it over with!

Mom and I are getting along better nowadays. She is still very sick, but she manages to help out with Shelbi, and she does a lot of the housework. My stupid math teacher is still stupid. By stupid I mean still extremely attractive, handsome, and charming. aka...stupid. And there are these two girls in my class who LOVE to throw themselves at him. It's pathetic, really.

About these two girls...since the first class, they ALWAYS sit in the exact same spot in the class, and for whatever reason, they save me a seat every time. This time, I got there early. So I saved them a seat. When they walked in the door, I moved my back pack, and lo and behold, they plopped down right in the very front, right next to the teacher. 15 minutes later, I walked out of class. I was so angry.

On to happier thoughts. As I was at home this evening, I was on my way downstairs to the laundry room with a Shelbi-shirt plastered with noodles and chocolate. I realized suddenly how my life has changed...and how little I mind. Honestly, what did I have before her? I had heartache and heart break; I had pain and misery; I had drunken nights and foggy mornings; I had empty days and meaningless relationships; I had nothing. I had a whole lot of nothing. In moments, I went from having nothing, to having EVERYTHING. I couldn't be happier than when I am with her, taking care of her, listening to her ask for 'wa-wa'. And when she comes toddling in frantically saying "HAGGY HAGGY HAG, HAG, HAG, HAGGY HAGGY!!!!!" Translated: HUNGRY HUNGRY HUNGRY HUNGRY!!!! She is the love of my life.

And now I have another love...I have Berek. How does one girl get so lucky?
