Somewhere Only We Know....

Tonight, the love of my life has given me one of the greatest gifts I honestly have ever received... in lieu of a "Mother's Day" present, BJ gave me tickets to the KEANE concert. I am not joking, this is the best gift I have ever received... why you ask? KEANE is my absolute favorite band in the entire world.... if you have not heard of them, they are a small, "indie", band from the UK... anyways, they rarely come to North America (when they have in the past it has typically been to Canada or the Portland, OR area) and I have NEVER had the chance to see them live. BJ promised me that whenever they journey back to the States, he would take me... regardless of where they were playing, we would get on a plane and go....

NO PLANE NEEDED!! Tonight, yes tonight, KEANE is playing at the Dallas House of Blues.... doors open at 6pm, and we will be there at 6pm. I CANNOT WAIT.

Baby Rector, I can't believe I am saying this... but STAY PUT for at least the next 14 hours. Thank you!

I will brag about the concert tomorrow... for now, I am off to listen to my favorites as I prepare for the greatness that is tonight... thanks BJ, I LOVE YOU!

Have fun lady...you deserve this! You may want to bring a towel or something just in case your water breaks while you're swaying to your favorite song! :)

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...

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...

A testimony. A resource. A memoir.
