34 Weeks...

Time is FLYING by.... I just can't believe it! This week, we celebrated Father's day with Grandpa Gross, Grandpa Rector and your daddy! BJ kind of feels the same way I did on Mother's day... pretty much not like a father, yet! But I just know he is going to be the best daddy to you - I can't wait to see him with you. His compassionate and gentle heart is already so evident, I just know you are going to make him weak at the knees!We also had another doctor appointment - everything looks great, yet again! Praise the Lord - minus the first trimester morning sickness, and now the discomfort of feeling you all the way up in my ribs and all the way down towards my hips (at the same time) - this has really been such an easy pregnancy! We cannot give enough praise to the Lord for that... it has been our prayer from the very beginning.... Healthy Baby, Healthy Momma... we trust that He is faithful to continue to protect your precious life, and mine, as we welcome you into this world!

Crazy - doctor appointments are now every week - AAGHH... and we are pre-registered and paid at the hospital (kind of stinks not to have maternity insurance, but praise the Lord that He continues to provide... again!)... I guess all this means that the countdown has officially begun!

So today, I am filled with an overwhelming excitement for you... I can't wait to see your face, to know your heart, to make so many memories, to experience life in new ways through you... I am so overwhelmed by this gift you are to our family!

Psalm 127:3-4
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.

You are ADORABLE!!

And I still have your present... I'm pretty sure I will actually mail it before baby Rector arrives! That is my goal, anyway! :) Keep growing, Momma- you are beautiful!

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

THE OVER-SHARER SHARES AGAIN   For the very small handful of people who have asked, I’m answering to the masses (err, bigger handful). On February 1, I decided to take a social media fast. Our church was challenging us to a 21-day fast and I chose to fast not from food but from something else I had been looking to for satisfaction, delight or distraction. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and with the exception of popping on to facebook to check in with my business partners, I have found great freedom stepping away from social media (right now). Currently, I don’t have a plan to return, but I also know that I should never say never…. …Watch me pop right back in and eat crow in mere moments if I was to say I would be off of it forever. Honestly, social media has been a beautiful thing for me personally, and professionally, for well over a decade. It has allowed me to authentically and organically share my passions, ask my questions, get and give referrals, build and reconn...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...
