Well I have spent most of the day upgrading my Photoshop elements to version 9! Doesn’t sound like much fun does it? At times it wasn’t but I have updated other items in Photoshop from the class Cora and I took this fall. It seems like I lost a couple of months not feeling so well with the pregnancy. In technological terms, I have accomplished a tremendous amount today. Next projects on my list–get the external hard drive that I received for Christmas too and back up my files. Try out my new flash which seems the most overwhelming of them all. I am certain there are online tutorials and videos so that I can quickly learn how to use it, but it seems like a daunting task. I am feeling like my old self today–getting things done other than sitting on the couch. Oh, and did I mentioned I walked this morning too? Gotta build up my energy and strength for delivering this baby!!! Hopefully day’s productivity is a foretaste of how the week will go. Only time shall tell………….
Its almost real….
Two more days until the whole world will know that we are one-third of the way to having our own little family. I am getting so excited to start buying baby items and of course begin planning the nursery. Having limited energy is not normal for me and that is brought me down a bit…..I’m finally feeling much better and getting restless. Cora has reminded me that I need to have my first “photo” shoot where she captures a picture every so often to document my belly progress…..not much to show right now and its a little scary to see how quickly that will begin to change. 11 weeks today!!! WOW…..its starting to feel more real! Not sure why I have such mixed emotions about sharing the news with others. At times, it seems overwhelming and I get nervous to tell someone. Again, not sure what is up with that, but I guess I can blame it on the hormones!
Love to all…..Jenn
2011 is upon us
Well 2011 is upon us whether we like it or not. I am personally very excited about this new year for many reasons. I feel more motivated to help others find a home and have a sense of rejuvenation upon me in the area of my career. I believe 2011 is going to be a great year with many new beginnings. This of course, would include the wonderful blessing that has been bestowed upon me and my hubby, expecting our first child around August! We’ve waited a little while for this miracle to occur and couldn’t be happier. It was definitely worth the wait! The dynamics and day-to-day activities will be shifting in one of the most rewarding ways for us.
I hope that you can reflect on 2010 and recall all that God blessed you with and pray for guidance and peace in 2011.

Exhausted is about all I can say!
It seems that the last few days, the only thoughts in my head are about how exhausted I feel. I really just want to lay around on the couch and if you know me–this is NOT usual! I have very little motivation or energy to put forth much effort towards anything. I am trying to look forward to my birthday tomorrow but I am worried that I won’t make it the whole day. I certainly don’t want to complain but it has become increasingly evident that perhaps my body is in desperate need of REST! Maybe its the weather, maybe its all the sweets I have eaten, or maybe its because we laid around all day Saturday watching movie after movie. Chalk that up on the list of things accomplished. My hubby and I have NEVER done that. Do you think that’s why? Perhaps I started a trend of just laying around. That we may never know……….
It’s December!
I couldn’t be happier that it is December! You know what this means for me…..my birthday is in a week and Christmas in 24 days. Today I get to start adding ornaments to the felt tree my mother handmade me and my sisters a couple Christmases ago. The first ornament that is added is the star of course, to be placed at the top. I guess you could say that I am pretty methodical when it comes to doing things. My sisters probably randomly put their ornaments with no calculations or thought. I suppose that is “first child syndrome” where everything is supposed to be perfect, balanced, and in its place. This could be whole other topic to go off on but hey–It’s December and I’m nothing be cheer and joy today so let’s not ruin it!!
Laying Low
We (me & The Hubby) have decided to lay low this month with our fertility appointments. I think we need time to soak it all in and take a little break. Definitely a tough decision………………
In one of my devotions today, this verse in particular stuck out. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. -Psalm 145:8,9
Of course, it is always refreshing to have reminders such as these surrounding me! It helps me feel that our path is right on the money for now!
Love to all,

Hello world!
A huge welcome to my new WordPress.com blog. This is my first post and I am excited and nervous at the same time! After some thought I decided I’d live on the wild side and share with you my journeys. Some days my life is extremely chaotic and others seems as though I wonder around trying to decide what new project I might start. I am by no means a person who wants to lay around on the couch all weekend. Uh, no! I am quite the opposite–I can find SOME thing to start, repair or improve. Just ask my husband!!! It is pretty safe to say this is why he avoids the house when I have free time. He’s scared to death that I am going to slave him out on my next whirwind creation.
Anyhow, welcome again and be sure to check back to learn more about my life beyond real estate!

Crazy, maybe?
For those of you on the streets between my parents’ house and mine, I’m sorry. You may have been fearing for your life as I sped by. I made it back home to get my good camera (Nikon D5000) within 6 minutes so I could capture the beautiful sunset. This might be my world record in the suburban! Don’t worry I am a conscientious driver even when I am speeding! Anyhow, back to the photo. Here is one I captured with my iPhone. I’ll add some more in the near future!
