My fears have been put to rest. The baby has one set of parts and they're for a girl. Her name is Penelope Layne Yontz. Trevor picked out the most precious dress I've ever seen and his only regret is that he may not get to spank the kid as much as he would if she were a boy because he hears girls respond better than boys do to forms of discipline other than physical. ;)
We are absolutely beside ourselves with joy. We thank our Lord for our many blesings! Rejoice with us!
Kelley's great ever since she started taking some med for her nausea she's just like any other normal person now, pregnant or otherwise. it's great! oh and they did find out, they're having a boy...his name is probably going to be Logan Andrew, that's the name they've had picked since Lucas was born when they were thinking about having other kids, who knows though...we'll see sooner or later! :)
Since I'm leaving work in 25 business days I'm training a few people (5 to be exact) on how to do my job. They have to share duties **hehe, duties** because my company is on a hiring freeze. Since they are doing my different tasks as practice I don't have a lot to do. It's kind of awesome.
Back to my previous thought about duty **hehe** we had a lesson about our duties **hehe** as christians Wednesday night. Now I am a pretty immature person and my dear husband may even be a notch below me on the maturity charts and we could not keep from laughing because the elder kept saying “duty” and “duties” over and over and over and using the words in such a way that made our idiotic minds reel with giggles, which, thankfully, we held in with our trembling shoulders. What makes us even more ridiculous is that he is such a sincere, sweet, knowledgeable man and he was speaking about his topic with such conviction and reverence like we should have been treating it and we were just being childish. In our defense, he said stuff like:
• You should haste to take care of your duties.
• Not doing your duties should cause you to have a burning fire in your stomach like Jeremiah had.
• Duty brings on a sense of urgency.
• When you do do your duties…
• An example he gave about the ENRON folks was about how they didn’t “do due diligence.” (Say it quickly and you’ll see.)
That’s only to name a few. We are idiots but we made it through. I feel ashamed. Especially since I’m still giggling inside… It was a good class, though. I was fiercely concentrating on each page of the bible we turned to hoping I could cool my jets. It seems once I get started I can’t quit.
I would have been right there with you. I laughed out loud reading these...It's even funnier picturing an older person say it in front of a large audience!
When I left, I told my boss THREE MONTHS before I was leaving that I was leaving a month before the baby was born. It got two weeks before then, and she tried to talk me into staying until I go into labor. She didn't hire my replacement until two months after I had the baby, in hopes that I was "just being silly" when I said I was not returning to work!
...you know we're only human yet we still do have so many DUTIES! Sounds like y'all had a most excellent sermon...i probably would've cried. i'm terrible about laughing!
I've had a good weekend. My dad is in town from North Carolina and it's so good to see him, but he's here because Beads (her name for grandmother), his mom, fell and broke her back. She has had surgery and is in rehab now. She's doing well but she doesn't like it one bit. What she likes even less is coming to grips with the fact that she can't live without full time care any more. It's been really tough on them. I've enjoyed his company, though.
I am also reading the Twilight books now. I'm not even done with the first one yet so don't ruin it for me. I had no idea what a sexy book it was going to be. Romance and suspense with an extra serving of romance.
I'm not quite sure how my wife got sucked into reading those things, but she did.
You know what I find funny about those books? With the Harry Potter books, guys and gals got interested in them and read the series. I have yet to hear of a (straight) guy who will admit to reading them. Odd....
I was watching one of my favorite shows, Dirty Jobs, last night because I didn't want to watch the election coverage and it was pretty interesting. (I know, I'm a nerd.) Mike Rowe gave little tid bits throughout the show about the dirty jobs some presidents had before they were elected.
The story I liked, though, was about Andrew Jackson. It wasn't about a dirty job but he told the story about how Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter approached Jackson at a funeral and tried to kill him. The bullet malfunctioned but it made Jackson really angry so he started beating him with his cane.
The guy freaked and tried to fire a second gun but the bullet malfunctioned again and Jackson escaped unharmed but pretty ticked off.
Lawrence thought that Jackson was conspiring to keep him out of work and in the poor house. He spent the rest of his life in jails and asylums.
That's awesome! My distant relatives are from Tennessee, too, but we have a slightly less valiant story. My great great great… grandfather shot the Deputy of Murfreesboro and was run out of town. He took refuge in Mobeetie, TX. We’re related to the Haynes family that runs the show in Murfreesboro.
Well I think YOU are lame-o! Well, not really. . .but you started this! ;-) It was really good to see you too! We definitely need to hang out when I come home for xmas!
