Loosing sleep...

Things I've done tonight while I can't sleep:

Watch recorded episode of Bones - Cole can't stand it that Bones and Booth are together now and while it's what I thought I wanted all along, I don't know if I do like the show this way.

Stress over my not decorated home. Home decor in my own house, frustrates me. I read design blogs and magazines all the time, eating it up. However, the task of creating that feeling of "our home" design eats me! This isn't the first time I've lost sleep over my front room or Vince's half done nursery.

Catch up on others' facebook/blog updates. This lead me to thinking I need to do some more girl time with the sisters. As quickly as time passes, I'm going to have to send an evite to make sure a girls night happens stat!

Read something on Lds.org - tonight was a particularly impressive address given by Ezra Taft Benson on the Book of Mormon. I don't mean impressive wow, I mean impressive, leaving a deep impression - one that kept me up thinking some more.

I should be exhausted. I know I will be tomorrow, which is sad because tomorrow is looking to be a full fun Saturday. I like full days. I like being tired. (Except for maybe while I'm at work or if I'm sick.) I think that's why one of my best friend's Sarah Fowler and I get along so well - miss her.

A parting photo to hopefully send me off to sweet dreams...

Who'da thought?

Shortly after my last post, Cole and I discovered we had a new family member on the way. I would never had guessed the next year would pan out the way it has, and such a huge surprise of a blessing. Last fall several doctors told me that for us to have a baby it would take considerable intervention. With that kind of road map we tabled the idea of babies and took on some new "us" adventures learning how to scuba dive and heading to the Big Island with some favorite friendly people.



Coming home though, that red-eye return flight with then a multiple hour lay over just did me in. I felt so crumby for the next 24 hours and when I couldn't make it through my first shift of work I stopped at Harmon's on my way home and grabbed a pregnancy test. Nine months later we are thrilled, absolutely thrilled to welcome and announce the newest Schutjer, Vincent Cole. Born May 28, 2011 @ 10:07am weighing 6 lbs 15 oz and 19 inches long, needless to say Cole and I are both smitten. And now for an over abundance of photos of our newest love.
