Happy Birthday to the man, my man... BJ Boo Boo Bear

That's right readers... today, YES today, is William Jonathan's (haha!) birthday.  It is time to celebrate, rejoice, and admire the man that God has created in our beloved BJ.  If you know BJ, you know that today is a reason to celebrate him.... if you don't... well, let me give you a few reason why you should:
He looks great in girl shorts..... this is good for a family on a budget.  

He loves his music... it could be classic rock, indie emo ballads, worship, or love songs... this boy will sing at the top of his lungs (and with passion) if he really likes a song. I appreciate that he really does have good taste in music, so this is a endearing quality. 
This picture represents a 2-fold reason to celebrate BJ.  
1. The color orange-- not many people are as obsessed with the color like BJ... he loves orange like a girl loves pink.
2. When he pouts, it is quite ridiculous.... and really cute too.
Um.... sometimes BJ thinks he is hard core... look at this picture.  Who is he trying to scare?  Personally, this disgustach grosses me out, so I am done there.
While BJ didn't play football in highschool, to me, this picture represents a healthy obsession with the game.  Just so everyone knows, if you need to find BJ in the next 4 months on Saturdays and Sundays.... he will be in front of the tube watching the beloved game.  And I, will be right beside him!
He puts up with my ridiculousness.... this picture accurately represents the way we look at things...haha.
He has a massive vertical.  Now I know you can't tell from the picture, but he is actually suspended at least 6feet mid-air.  So impressive BJ.... think London 2012, trampoline.
Um... he is really hot.  I specifically remember this picture because it took place at a wedding of our dear friend (shout out Ruth & Paul).  He had been out of town for the last 8 days and surprised me at this reception.... he looked hot, and pulled off an ultra romantic appearance.
He loves to hug.  He is a boy that is NOT afraid to share his emotions--- and when I say that, I mean it.  He is way better than me.... and makes me want to hug.

I LOVE YOU BJ!!  I am so blessed that I am about to take your name and become your wife.... Happy 3-0.... I know that the BEST IS YET TO COME....  Happy, Happy Birthday.

hey! so i'm a college student and i'm getting married next december. While looking at/for wedding stuff online i came across your blog. First of all your wedding was beautiful. But what i found most impressive is how you based everything around God. My fiance is a Bible major at the college we attend, so we too are basing everything around God. I do have a question though. where did you find your dress? It's amazing-all my roommates and I have been admiring it.

in Him-

Rector 2.0

So, on April 2, 2011, I woke up to this... I immediately showed Eleanor to confirm... "Momma, are you kidding me??!!" So, we held off telling our families until Easter and had a great plan to reveal Eleanor as the BIG SISTER at the dinner table... we didn't think about that lunch was right after her nap, so she was a little groggy and looks unhappy, but we couldn't keep it anymore.... So a few days later we tried to take some pictures again to prove that Eleanor is VERY excited! We can't wait to meet you, Baby Rector #2!! As of now, we look forward to November 22nd when you will enter this world... (you are due December 1, but because I will have a C-section, you birthday is currently scheduled for November 22!)... but we are SO thankful to the Lord for your life as you grow inside of Momma right now and we are praying FERVENTLY for you... same as we did for your precious, big sister... healthy baby, who chooses Jesus at an early age and never once doubts that Mom...

ALOOOOHA....

T hat's right friends - we are packing our bags and taking a little BABYMOON next month. BJ surprised me last week and had this little ditty all worked out... ...In fact I did work out all the details, only to rework them a week later after the final go-ahead from Karen. Her rationale was appreciated and wise, albeit not well recieved at first. I called her the fun-killer. Ironic I know... "I'm a fun girl!" her famous self proclamation. (this portion written by BJ) N ot going to lie - when BJ first told me about this trip I was a little stressed (it's the planner and realist in me)... I mean, our life is crazy - and obviously finances are about to go haywire when we get into our new house and bring baby home... but as a good reminder, I have been brought back down to earth in realizing that there will ALWAYS be an excuse, we have more freedom now then we probably will ever again and God has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been our Faithful provider... we have the funds, so i...

15 weeks...

So, I have become a blog stalker over this past year... it is just so easy to get onto trails from friend's blog lists until all of the sudden you are committed to reading a complete strangers musings daily. Creepy, I know. Regardless, one of my very favorite blogs that I started to follow actually did a spot on a family friend of mine (the blogger's sister-in-law) throughout her pregnancy... she took weekly pictures and both parents would write a letter / our thoughts to the baby / about the baby until she was born. I found myself crying every time I read what they would write and so anxious to see her weekly pictures... I am not going to be as fancy as what they did, but I do really love the idea of charting my body's changes, my emotional experience and prayers from beginning to birth... so go ahead and call me a copycat! 15 Weeks Whether it is noticeable to anyone else but me (I know BJ notices but he is nice and acts like I look the same), my body has changed so much ...
