creativity and coupons

Ah Fridays. You gotta love 'em. On Fridays this semester I only have one 11:00am class (Biology and Society)and after that I am totally free to enjoy my early start of the weekend. Although, with my many responsibilities I tend to have a few errands that have to be taken care of after classes. Nothing different today. After class I went to eat lunch with my husband. I do this most every Monday, Wednesday and Friday because he has lunch at 12:00 and it is easier for me to go eat with him and then go back to school for my next class than it is to go all the way back to the apartment. Plus it is always nice to be able to see him in the middle of my day!

After lunch I had to get some things settled for the fundraiser that we are having to raise money for the missions trip that we will be going this summer. We are taking a trip to Montana to work with youth from six different Native American tribes. We are extremely excited and know that God wants us to be on this trip. Thus we are trusting him to provide all $1700 dollars that is needed to fund the trip. Our first fundraiser is selling coupon books for different restaurants and entertainment areas around the triangle. They are definitely worth the money cause they basically pay for themselves and then some with all the deals in them. But back to what happened today...I had to gather equipment for our fundraiser. I gathered poster-board, a table, chairs, and envelopes. The poster-board is to notify people of what exactly we are doing when we are sitting outside of the Walmart. The table and chairs are from Nina (my mom's mom) and are obviously for sitting outside of Walmart. The envelopes are for the many different support letters that we are going to send out to all of our family and friends. The letter that I typed up today also!

After all of that I feel very accomplished today. To top it all off there is parmesan chicken in the oven and my husband will be home in about 15 minutes. Thus I will be signing out now. Until next time.

Hey this one is really good. I feel ya on the trusting that God will provide all the funds necessary for our missions trip, plus it says in the bible that I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me. That verse keeps me going everyday.

Moving Right Along

So with the due date nearing and the anticipation of finally being able to hold our precious baby girl, I thought that I would share a little bit of my everyday normal for now!  I am one day away from being 38 weeks along and let me tell you:  I have one active baby inside me!  Yes, she loves to move around and kick/punch mommy in the gut, ribs, and pelvis!  Some of these kicks are so strong that I actually jump!  For those of you that don't believe it could get that bad...oh have I got a treat for you!  I recorded a mere 1.5 min video of my belly!  Now this video is only a small taste of what she does ALL DAY LONG!  And yes at night too!  It's no wonder I have such a hard time sleeping.  So without further ado, here is Ms. Isabella Marie Ohrvall staring in her first movie entitled:  Making Waves in Mommy's Tummy.  :) Update on presentation:  Isabella is still breech and we are diligently trying all that we can to ...

37+ Week Update

So I know it has been a while since my last post.  I figured it was about time for me do another update blog on the pregnancy.  It will be pretty short cause there is not much new to report. I had an ultrasound at 36 weeks last week to get  an update on how Isabella is progressing and what position she was in after a few weeks without knowing.  If you have been keeping up with me on facebook then you know how that turned out!  We didn't get any news from the ultrasound other than the fact that Isabella was still sitting comfortably in her breech position. The following Monday we had an appointment with my OB to get the rest of the information that we were wanting to hear.  She told us that Isabella was growing appropriately and was looking healthy!  So good news is awesome to hear!  Of course she then proceeded with the news that we already heard, Isabella is still breech.  We reviewed our options for turning and delivery and decided to t...

April Update

I thought that since I had not given an update in a while that is was about time I did.  So I am going to tell you what has been going on this past month. Matthew First  (because his is shorter than mine): Matthew had his certification test this past month as well as his E4 qualification exam.  He took the E4 exam before he had certification tests.  The E4 exam has a lot to do with why he was assigned to unaccompanied travel to Guam.  He was supposed to be ranked up to an E4 before he could be sent overseas as a accompanied traveler.  (If that doesn't make sense to you...join the club)  But, luckily  Matthew feels like he did well on the exam so hopefully he will be ranked up to an E4 and there won't be any controversy over me joining him in Guam.  Then there's the certification tests; these are the tests that he takes at the school for learning how to be a Naval K9 handler.  Matthew feels that he did really well on these tests ...
