Hibernating
Well, not really. I am alive. For once I think ever, I don’t really have much to write about on my blog. Get out! 
We are doing great here. I am still feeling much better although I have felt so tired lately. I know I am pregnant and fatigue is normal, but everyone in our family has seemed extra tired. I think we have been on undercover fighting a cold or something. Anyway, I’ve also been working on a couple of design projects, feeling designer’s block, discouraged, etc. I am excited about my high school reunion site, though. Check out the comp drafts and let me know which one you like better. So fun.
I just remembered: I was going to make this a separate blog post (I lie! I do have something to blog about!), but I just now remembered something funny that happened last week. Eric let me buy something I’ve been wanting so much, which is a Crosley turntable, cd, cassette player (4-in-1). There is a store on ebay that sells them reconditioned for 1/2 to 3/4 the retail price. Well, I was so excited to have it delivered last week. I went to Goodwill (how I love thee!) a few days later and came home to show Eric some records I bought. “You’ll love these, honey! I got them for you.”
“Grease…”
“Saturday Night Live…”
“Kristi, those are MY records that you took to Goodwill a few months ago.”
“What? No, Eric…”
“Yes.” (He’s smirking and laughing hysterically now.) “Yes, you did.”
“No, I didn’t. I wouldn’t do that.”
Well, after a few minutes of “discussing this,” (hee!) Eric says he remembers me asking him to take some stuff to Goodwill, and his records were in the box. I defended myself and said that every good wife who asks her husband to do something like that really means that she wants you to “take some stuff” (and scan and approve for their items first). Right?! Besides, I told him they smelled like smoke. But that argument failed because most stuff from Goodwill smells like smoke before you wash it/ wipe it. Well, now we have several records from Ebay and Goodwill, we can dance in our living room to the crackling melodies of Ella Fitzgerald, and we even have some that he likes.
(I can see our minister now at our wedding ceremony…. “Do you promise to love, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, even when you have to repurchase something at Goodwill for $2.00 that was already yours?”) ha ha ha
The kids and I are memorizing the first couple of paragraphs of Hebrews 1. Oh, what a beautiful passage this is! I just love, love, love talking about the supremacy of Christ! Lydia and I have been googling “Jesus, throne, heaven,” and words like that looking at images and artists’ renditions of Jesus sitting at the right hand of God in heaven. This is No Fairy Tale has been off the shelf for several days lately. I have been talking to Steven and her about how everyone is different, and many of us have different ways of picturing how heaven will be when we get there with Christ. Lydia says that she thinks it will be a lot of blue and gold and light. We talked yesterday and some today about whether or not we will have blankets, beds, and baby dolls there. I told Lydia that I bet there will be millions and millions of different creations that we will see, make, and enjoy from infinite cultures in heaven, and it will bring us so much joy.
Anyway, here is Hebrews 1:1-4 if you haven’t read it in a while. Whooo!
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
Whoo!
We say it about 9-10 times together, and then we giggle as we listen to the ESV readers read it!
PS - If you haven’t clicked that link on my sidebar before (Do’s and Dont’s With Babies), you must. I haven’t stopped laughing. My favorite is “introducing baby to pets.”

Boy, what a bargain you found at Goodwill!!!!
I think that should top the list of “Things Not to Do When De-Cluttering”
1. Buy your stuff back a few months later.
:)))
Okay, my husband thinks I’m an idiot because I was literally crying looking at the dos and donts site. Thanks for sharing that.
I know, Natalie! Tell Josh that I cried, too. Eric did, too! Then, the next day, when I called him at work, he and two other pastors were laughing so hard in the background; I had called right when they were looking at it!
Too funny! My favorite is “drying baby”. Hysterical! I am sure I will use these for something in the future…possibly a first time mother’s baby shower!
You have so much better luck at Goodwill than I do!
Oh yeah, I like the left comp draft of the reunion site…however they both look great!
