virgin...to blogging

So this is all new to me and I decided tonight to try it out. I figure it is like a diary online that everyone can see right? Well however you choose to use it I am going to use it as a way of collecting all of my major events of our first year of marriage. I want to be able to come back to this later on in life and read all about what happened during our first year. I have been told that the first year is the hardest...so far I have to say that I am enjoying marriage immensity!

Matthew and I were married January 2, 2010. Yes that is 01-02-2010; the same what forward and backward. And no we did not plan the date to be a palindrome it just so happened that we discovered that after we decided on the date. It is now March 4th, a couple months and a couple days since we have been married so I am a little late on the year of blogging but I just discovered how easy it is today. I am excited to get started with this whole task. I am challenging myself to continue to stick with this blog for the whole year even when life gets busy.

It may be that not many people will read this blog or become followers of my blog but like I said this is mainly for my own sanity and memory. I look forward to my next post!

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 ...

Seated with Christ: An Imaginative Activity

This post is from an imaginative activity prompted from the book "Seated with Christ" by Heather Holleman. The question posed was: "As an imaginative exercise, describe your seat in the heavenly realms with as precise and vivid detail as possible. What do you see, hear, smell, taste and feel? What are you wearing? What are you experiencing in your mind?" The following is my answer: I'm seated, comfortable and relaxed. I have no worries. All I can physically do is sit and stare at the majesty that is my most indescribable Lord that sits before me. The most magnificent smells of the Earth can not compare to the wondrous smells that permeate the air here. They remind me of some of my favorite smells on Earth such as lavender, the beach and pine wood needles; but there is something else entirely in the air that I can not put words to. The songs of angels saturate the air but seem to fade into the background at the same time. ...

Australian Vacation

Hello all! I know that it has been quite a long time since I last posted a blog but I decided it was time for another post. Having a little one crawling all over the place really takes up my time now-a-days. Infact, the only reason I am able to write this now is because she is napping. Maybe I will be able to get this done in the time it takes for one nap...we shall see. So here it goes. This past week the Ohrvalls' took a much needed vacation to Cairns, Australia. Matthew and I had such a blast taking Isabella on her first family vacation but it was difficult to transition our old vacationing without kids mindset and bring it to a vacationing with a baby mindset. It is quite different going on vacation with an 8 month old than it is with just two adults. Needless to say, we spent a lot more time in the hotel room during nap time and at parks for playtime. But we were still able to do a lot of really fun stuff as a family that we ...
