spring saturdays, what more can you ask for?

Yesterday was a lovely day for my husband and I. It started out bright and early, 8:00 for me because I had a 9:00 exam. And yes 8:00 is early for me even though Matthew always gets up at around 5:30. Matthew was a sweetheart and made me some breakfast, bacon and biscuits! I left for my biology exam at about 8:30 so that I could get there early and look over my notes one last time. Turns out it was a good thing I got there a little early because some of the fashion students had taken over the room that we were supposed to have our exam in and Dr. Reid had to change it last minute on us. Luckily I was there to witness the change and I knew where to go, others weren't so lucky when they strolled in the new room at around 9:10. I have to say that the exam was not to bad, I finished it in about an hour and was out of there by 10:05. When I got home Matthew was watching his cartoon so we finished that and then got ready for the rest of our day.

The best part of the day was spent at the newly opened North Carolina Museum of Art. Matthew and I took a tour around some of the museum but not all of it because we wanted to leave some for another afternoon and we didn't want to rush through the whole museum in one afternoon. The galleries were beautiful and there were some pretty amazing pieces of art as well as some (we will call them) unique pieces. We spent a good amount of time at the museum and enjoyed every minute of it.

When we left at around 3:30 we had to make a stop by the grocery store to pick of some things that we needed and a few extra things for entertaining Andrew and Tianna. That right Andrew and Tianna came down for the weekend, its too bad that when they did come over we were not able to completely enjoy our time with them because they were tired from their long drive. We completely understood that they would be tired. But we still made quesadillas and tried our best to entertain adn talk to them. They left about an hour and a half later. Matthew and I decided to end the night on a good note and we watched the movie that we had brought for the evening together. The movie was called "The Box" and I have to say it was an interesting yet freaky movie!

Overall I have to say our spring Saturday was one to remember. I enjoy spending time with my husband no matter what the situation is.

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 ...
