Special Delivery...

So Valentines Day has come and gone, and I forgot to mention that while BJ and I decided not to exchange gifts due to our upcoming vacation to Hawaii, he did do something quite darling and blog worthy.

About a week before Valentines Day I was getting my hair cut (finally!) at an early morning appointment. I have changed salons one million times, so BJ was curious where I was going this time. I let him know I was heading to Osgood O'Neil in Snider Plaza, thinking that would be the end of the discussion...

So I am about halfway through my haircut, and in walks BJ... I am stationed right by the door, so I immediately saw him but he acted like he didn't know me. He is holding this little flower and once he got to my chair he said:

"I have a Special Delivery for a Mrs. Karen Rector... I was told to read the card aloud:

Because every day could be Valentines Day with you... (now kiss her)

Ma'am, the card says that I am supposed to Kiss you now."


He then proceeds to give me a kiss, ALL THE WHILE my new hairdresser having no idea that this is my husband... As soon as he stands back up, I immediately introduced Kirsten to BJ, my husband, and I thought she was going to chop a huge piece of hair off she was freaking out so much... She repeatedly screamed "Oh My Gosh that is the sweetest thing I have ever seen... He is so thoughtful... is he always this romantic.... yada yada yada" (BJ was EATING THIS UP).

It was darling, albeit random, of him... and BJ I love you. Thank you for loving me in silly, cheesy ways... every girl deserves that kind of pursuit. As Kate Winslet says in The Holiday: "I like corny. I am looking for corny in my life..."


Unfortunately, our "love fern" has died in our dungeon-like apartment, but you get the idea... haha!

Happy Late Valentines Everyone... from me and my Valentine every day of the year...!

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...

Just Mauied...

So... in the spirit of the final blog about our wedding - it is time we move on to more important things for the blogger world hear about - it is only fair that we share some of our amazing honeymoon! Us, and about 5 other honeymooning couples on AA Flight 6 on October 12, 2008, journey to the honeymoon capital of the world -- MAUI!! One of the things I regret most is not taking up Mindy's offer and bring along her legit camera - we really did a bad job at capturing the best vacation ever, but we'll remember.... It all started here - the most magical sendoff I could ever imagine for my wedding.... and there we go... off to start life together as Mr. and Mrs. William Rector...! Dum Di Dum Dum....the next day (check out my awesome ratted hair) We had to get up at 7am to catch our flight - note: this is NOT recommended for anyone getting married-- either leave after noon or the Monday... wow that was rough! On-board AA Flight 6 direct to Maui! BJ and I cruising to our hotel in o...

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...
