Shana's Update: One of Caitlin's Showers





For those of you who don't know, Caitlin is my soon-to-be sister-in-law. She looks super-cute here surrounded by all our presents. As you can see she is sucking down Marcy's famous Margarita punch. It is almost a tradition every time we get together for something, poor Marcy has to make it all the time because she is the best at it. It tastes a lot like a Margarita, just without the alcohol. I am looking forward to some Margarita punch in May!



This past weekend was a blast. It was super-packed with wedding stuff. We joked around saying it was our boot camp for the actual week of the wedding. Here are some pictures (thanks to Marcy) of her bachlorette shower we had Friday night.



Marcy and Amy are good faithfuls with the cameras. Lauren, Maggie, and I almost always forget cameras.










These are pictures of me with Marcy and Maggie. Marcy is the first one (dark hair) and obviously then the second one is Maggie. I know I mention them now and again on my blog. I have links to their blogs, but just in case you haven't met them yet.



P.S. I have no clue why my last paragraph is linked. I didn't do that. Now this one too Goodness gracious!



Other news - I picked up my dress this past weekend while home in Atlanta for the wedding. I am one of Caitlin's bridesmaids. The dresses are gorgeous and before I found out I was pregnant I was super excited to cut it off afterward and wear again. Unfortunately, Caitlin had to order me extra fabric so that I can have it altered to fit my prego body. So, now I will have this adorable pregnant dress. O well. I will think of somewhere cute to wear this thing when I am pregnant with future babies. No laughing if you see me in the dress at the grocery store, you'll be jealous because I will look absolutely fabulous. YAY still have the hyper-link going on. Sorry guys.

Shana's Update: Pregnancy Photos




I apologize for all the blurriness. I took these really quick on my phone in the bathroom at work. Last night at work (Sunglass Hut) a bunch of people asked me how far along I was. That was a first, so glad I look pregnant and not just fat. I measured again last night and I gained another 1/2 inch. That is a total of 5 inches. I think I might stop weighting myself, it is starting to freak me out. Granted I have only gained 6 pounds, but I have never been good with gaining weight. It messes with my mind. Starting to get my sweet tooth back, MAYDAY MAYDAY!!

OO, Shout out to my galpal Maggie. She gave me some prego clothes. This is one of those dresses she gave me. This is the first time I have gotten to wear it. This is definitely one of my favorites. Got a bunch of "you look so cute" comments today. Which I definitely could use for my self-esteem. Thanks Maggie.

The New Calvinism via TIME Magazine

TIME has published its "Top 10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now" for 2009. Guess what's #3? That's right - Calvinism. I was pretty skeptical when I clicked on the link waiting for a scathing review of this widely misunderstood doctrine of grace. However, this article is very positive and right-on in terms of historical and theological accuracy. Its totally worth reading.
Check It Out.

Shana's Update: Pregnancy

I am almost half way there. Can't believe it. I think I am pretty obviously showing. Josh took a picture yesterday, so we'll try and make sure it makes its way to the blog. Everybody has been asking me if I can feel the baby, and I am pretty sure I started feeling the baby kicking today. I have noticed it several times. So, that is pretty neat. Kind of a weird feeling. Don't feel to hot today. Not sure if it is pregnant sick or getting sick from being exhausted to the max from a crazy weekend. We'll see. That is all for now.

P.S. I am so sick of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Bedknobs & Broomsticks

Today at work the crazy produce guy Dennis was singing this song Portobello Road from the movie "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." He was blown away when I started singing along. Bedknobs and Broomsticks is one of my favorite Disney movies ever. I imagine that a lot of people don't know it, but when the Disney Channel first came out (before everything was so Raven and Hannah Montana) it used to show these great old movies that Disney used to make - Parent Trap (the original), Pollyanna, Swiss Family Robinson, Follow Me Boys, Pete's Dragon, and this one - Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Here are a few clips. What's your favorite old Disney movie? - let's think pre-80's.





Hilarious Prank!
