Defeated

By
I didn't even know how to spell that word. Ugh - these screen shots speak for themselves. Basically we signed up to receive the car monitors for our Progressive insurance. They swore it couldn't hurt us, only help get us a discount later on, so why not? I KNOW WHY - because then your husband has proof that you're a bad driver.

Now, before you get to thinking too much, I have a job I have to be at before 9am. Mr Smith does not. I have to fight morning and evening DC traffic which is higher risk. That's about all I got for excuses. I also have been told by Mr Smith that I have the tendency to tailgate. This girl has somewhere to be! So apparently the "hard brake" points come if you brake 7mph in a second. Bah - for once in your life you don't want points!! Mr Smith did kindly point out that it looks like I'm improving . . .

I didn't get approved. We have a week-ish to find out if Eric was approved for a discount. Happy New Year! I'll be all freakin paranoid now. I'm still safer than 99% of these DC drives. Defensive driver right here!!! Maybe I won't change. When I want to break, I break to save my life, sorry if my passengers all receive whiplash! I think the more serious concern is the number of miles per driving time. 


at least there is improvement . . .



in the beginning . . .




I drive the Nissan Sentra, if you couldn't tell


New Year's resolution: to get a '0' on the board.

    I think it's your car's fault. :) I would know, right?

    Hope you're doing well! Did I miss you while you were in Utah???????

There is a Plan for That

By
  Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
