Moments In Time: A Baby Is Coming A Baby Is Coming

The Title kind of ruins the surprise but yes! It's true! My nephew Cole and his girlfriend of 3 years, Carly, are having a baby! I think I'm happier about it then they are! But I already have had visions of baby Nike's and gymboree clothes dancing in my head! I know this is going to be the cutest baby ever and that they are going to make great parents. I am so excited for them! So far on the name pole we have Jackson and Emma Kate. We still have eight months to wait so who knows what will change. Notice I said (We). *lol* You would think Me, Carly, and Cole were pregnant! *lol* I just can't help but be out of this world happy! This family needed something awesome to happen and I believe this is such a blessing to us!

Other then all the new baby excitement it was a pretty good day. I sat with my nephew and talked to him for a while. I think he's a little nervous but he is glowing. I can tell he is over joyed as well. I knew he would grow up to be a good man but I couldn't be more proud of him. He's going to be a good daddy and take care of his kid unlike some of the men in this world. And just as important I think he will love his baby momma! ;) *lol* Been dying to see Carly all day to call her that but she was in class all day.

I spent some time outside today. I desperately miss warm weather and I can't wait for spring to get here. I'm dreaming of flowers and green grass. Instead all I have here now is the frozen mud and muck! It looked warm from the window but after being out for a few minutes I was about frozen so it was back indoors for me! I did take some funny shots of the dogs today though.

I found an interesting blog today that belongs to a person in Poland. They are collecting postage stamps from all over the world. I took down the address and I'm going to mail them a letter. Now I'm looking for an interesting stamp to put on the envelope. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Another great thing that happened today was that I received my $100 savings bond that I've been waiting for since summer. I won a talent contest in wheeling, WV in probably September and they gave me a gift certificate for a bond. I had called the bank it was issued from several times and they kept telling me they would send me the paper work but never did. I finally had to stop in there and they gave me some paper work that I had less then a week to fill out and have back in. If it wasn't to the treasury before December 31st, 2010 I wouldn't have received it. I honestly thought they had horsed around until it was to late for me to claim it but today it was in the mail box. Now in five years I will have $100. Holy Cow! :) That seems like forever. I'll probably find it in ten years and be like "What the.... " lol I'm sure I'll forget about it somewhere along the line.

I watched a couple of movies with Tim yesterday and today. I was disappointed by both. Devil and The Last Exorcism were not what they were cracked up to be. Either that or nothing scares me any more? Not sure which is the case but I wasn't really very excited by either movie. Hoping to watch Little Fockers soon!

But all this being said, this is day 5 of my 365 challenge!!
