Wait..you say...isn't there a baby due in less than 7 weeks?! Right you are friends. During the September Minnesota Monsoon season, water leaked into our basement. Wet carpet + moldy dry wall = major project.<br />Jamie has been doing a lot of the work himself and doing a great job. But yesterday I finally needed to admit to him that this project is driving me absolutely INSANE! The whole "nesting" thing that comes with pregnancy is a very real thing and the basement (which is our tv room, play room, office) being torn up is causing major issues with me. My patience is quite thin being almost 9 months pregnant and I am tired all of the time. + there isn't much I can do to help...which is also hard for me.<br />Anyway I feel a little better today after a good sermon, a nap and an understanding husband. In the grand scheme of life this is just a little hiccup. But it is like my brain and sense of reality can't quite function properly right now. I think I will just listen to Rainbow Relaxation and go to bed.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-8712809445595340390?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-83516008385049897642010-10-12T19:29:00.003-06:002010-10-12T19:31:35.775-06:00I was with some fellow school counselors at the Mayo Health Care Career fair today and one that I know quite well was calling me fiesty :) I think I do get a little fiestier when I am pregnant...if you don't believe me just ask Jamie...I am sure he will agree.<br />Also this boy at the fair asked me if I was having 4 babies.

Some people bring full tables and play cards and bring bottles of wine and just relax and enjoy a nice summer evening. We all agreed we would like to go back! Except maybe Justin who apparently is going to open up his own pizza place in his garage and front lawn in River Falls.

I get a lot of comments from people about my larger body from, "You are glowing and look beautiful" to "Are you sure there is just 1 in there?" I know it is all for a very good cause and I am happy to do it...I just don't really want that many pictures of myself right now.

They are from California and decided they wanted to challenge themselves by kayaking down the Mississippi river. They started in Minneapolis and will finish in New Orleans. Along the way they are raising money for IJM. Check out their blog under the "friends" section, it's pretty cool. They said if Jamie and I ever do anything crazy in California that we could stay with them. I though crazy in California might be something like driving down the coast. They said we could still stay.<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-5088815418650182595?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-32462721216305330312008-05-18T15:18:00.002-06:002008-05-18T15:29:43.584-06:00<div align="center">Friday night we had a small gathering to say goodbye to our good friends Brooke and Ryan.

Jamie's family came to visit Red Wing mid January and we kept the tree up so we could celebrate in style. It was a slightly cold weekend so most of our time was spent indoors, eating, playing sequence, singing along with Andrew's guitar playing and for Cathy and I attmepting to finish the puzzle (We didn't make it). If the picture of Cody looks blurry, it is because he moves so fast this is how all the pictures turn out.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-4935075910329151418?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-76317518172163689202008-02-16T14:02:00.003-06:002008-02-16T14:08:16.766-06:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dChPTD0AI/AAAAAAAAAME/WigIhqNfXis/s1600-h/100_0366.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167672236240523266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dChPTD0AI/AAAAAAAAAME/WigIhqNfXis/s400/100_0366.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dCR_TDz_I/AAAAAAAAAL8/tnfznymM80g/s1600-h/100_0386.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167671974247518194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dCR_TDz_I/AAAAAAAAAL8/tnfznymM80g/s400/100_0386.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dCEfTDz-I/AAAAAAAAAL0/QnTe5YSlA18/s1600-h/100_0365.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167671742319284194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dCEfTDz-I/AAAAAAAAAL0/QnTe5YSlA18/s400/100_0365.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dB4vTDz9I/AAAAAAAAALs/viMm_s-sBqg/s1600-h/100_0362.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167671540455821266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/R7dB4vTDz9I/AAAAAAAAALs/viMm_s-sBqg/s400/100_0362.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-7631751817216368920?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-25276728384360158412007-12-29T18:03:00.000-06:002007-12-29T18:11:15.122-06:00Jamie and I took a retreat day at our house yesterday. It was nice! We had some scheduled activities and did a lot of relaxing as well. We had time to read which was good. Jamie is trying to read 20 chapters a day in the bible! No small task, I don't know if I could do that much. I guess he is a pastor and all :) Anyways these pictures are from our Nature Hike up the bluff behind our house. Nice huh? Nature really has a way of making the day seem better and life easier to handle. Come on over for a hike!

What a wonderful trip! The whole time we were so amazed and blessed that God had blessed us with the ability and resources to travel. We had so many wonderful experiences and we loved everywhere we went. It is so good to experience other cultures!<br /><strong>Scotland Highlights:</strong> Stirling Castle, Scottish accents, meeting up with couch surfers in Edinburgh<br /><strong>Ireland Highlights:</strong> Tyrone and Louise, Touring the northern coast, Irish Stew in Guiness<br /><strong>Italy Highlights:</strong> Colloseum, a night walk in Rome, amazing views in the Cinque Terre<br /><br />As many of you know by now, the worst part of our trip was when we lost our camera in Vernazza. I think I have recovered now ( I seriously went through the stages of mourning: denial, anger, sadness...) and in the grand scheme of life it really isn't that big of a deal but at the time I took it pretty hard. But as you will see below we still got a few good pics from the good ol' disposable cameras.<br /><br />Anyways those are my thoughts for now. Hopefully we will see you soon and can tell you some more funny stories about running for trains, almost passing out on our flight to Rome, arriving at the wrong airport in Glasgow and other such follies. Thanks for the prayers while we were gone! -Jemily<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-6897953490090921898?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-31291931349743749722007-07-24T19:48:00.000-06:002007-07-24T21:30:42.051-06:00<div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/RqbCqNncUoI/AAAAAAAAAH0/zDorGQvcmVo/s1600-h/027_00A-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090970459254313602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/RqbCqNncUoI/AAAAAAAAAH0/zDorGQvcmVo/s400/027_00A-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> The weary travelers on our 8 1/2 hour flight home to Chicago.

It is a great workout and accomplishment and you can actually walk afterward. Not to mention walking the next day as well. I like walking. I am very happy that I have run a full marathon...don't get me wrong. But I think I actually enjoy running 1/2 marathons. Some people probably think I am crazy and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">deranged</span> for saying that. My husband may be one of them. What do you think?

Isn't he beautiful? He is bringing tears to my eyes just thinking about how precious and wonderful he is. I haven't met him face to face yet to tell him that I am his favorite auntie, but I know deep down that he already knows how much I love him! It is hard being so far away from him right now! They had to be in the hospital for a long time because Alicia needed to have a C-section. I wish I could have gone to see him. Mom is recovering great and will get to go home tomorrow. Dad is weary but so happy. Big Brother Cayden likes to smother his face with kisses and say, "Baby?" apparently he kinda says Baby Blake as well in one long jumbled word that few can understand. Anyways, life is precious and praise God for how amazing he is to form such a beautfiul being in his mother's womb. Okay time for me to stop crying and go to bed!<br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-311237123147183954?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-86596310569796442272007-04-24T20:54:00.000-06:002007-04-24T20:57:30.023-06:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/Ri7C89cECNI/AAAAAAAAACM/2VumO6dROLE/s1600-h/100_0093.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057193784123853010" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/Ri7C89cECNI/AAAAAAAAACM/2VumO6dROLE/s320/100_0093.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is not a good picture because I am taking a picture of a picture since I could not be there.

Just kidding God! Hey you need a break sometimes though. We have a good group and enjoy getting together every week. In the Front is Chad (who is not real fond of Mexican cuisine but sacraficed for the group)and then his fiance Andrea (they are getting married in June!), crazy Jamie, Caleb(Kindergarten), his mom Julie(a runner!). Then in the back on the right side are Tim then Patricia (Missionaries with LightSys) Johanna (also a runner) Vicky (our new neighbor!) Alyssa on Vick's lap (our youngest member age 3) and Stephanie our newest member (a PA at Fairview).<br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-6332096855179805272?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-9340188043280391012007-04-13T21:29:00.000-06:002007-04-13T21:37:01.409-06:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/RiBK6x2mLUI/AAAAAAAAABU/zZrdWkOyxWA/s1600-h/100_0054.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053121155584896322" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/RiBK6x2mLUI/AAAAAAAAABU/zZrdWkOyxWA/s320/100_0054.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is my office at work. Not quite as funny as the show "The Office" but a lot of funny things do happen here. Once I had a few 8th grade girls in here and one girl was trying to give the other girl comfort about how she didn't need to have a boyfriend to feel good about herself...and that she had a boyfriend in 6th grade and he cheated on her 3 times and having a boyfriend can just be hard to deal with. Hmmm...what do you think "cheating" in 6th grade means?? :)<br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-934018804328039101?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-50345478600472691662007-04-09T18:57:00.000-06:002007-04-09T18:58:57.030-06:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/RhrhFyIchAI/AAAAAAAAABM/Irfpmz2cetY/s1600-h/100_0046.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051597421522224130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/RhrhFyIchAI/AAAAAAAAABM/Irfpmz2cetY/s320/100_0046.jpg" border="0" /></a> Just practicing the closeup features on the camera.

Well we just purchased the Kodak 705 and it arrived on Wednesday after much anticipation. I have 30 days to decide if I like it and so far I do. It has a lot of good features. Yes it is pink but that is because it was over $100 cheaper to get the pink one and Jamie said that he didn't mind since I usually take all the pictures. It is pictured to your left. I'm not sure why...<img class="hero_img" id="hero_3" style="Z-INDEX: 1; LEFT: 76px; VISIBILITY: visible; WIDTH: 201px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 91px; HEIGHT: 136px" height="118" src="http://www.kodak.com/eknec/documents/8c/0900688a8058be8c/V705_FF_pink_250x200.jpg" width="250" name="hero" />I didn't<br />want it<br />to show<br />up there,<br />but it does.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-2669260182279224066?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789201122808500639.post-57623405371745463842007-03-30T20:01:00.000-06:002007-03-30T20:05:46.505-06:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/Rg3BIWkSgsI/AAAAAAAAAAU/oKFLpDybHNI/s1600-h/000_0019.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047903106593096386" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6IjWGqhtYso/Rg3BIWkSgsI/AAAAAAAAAAU/oKFLpDybHNI/s320/000_0019.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />After a month our bathroom is painted! This was the only room in our house that had wallpaper. The wallpaper was possessed by satan himself and we ended up having to hang new drywall. The color is called "Refresh". Jamie feels so refreshed when he is in there and my mom said she feels like the Caribbean when she is in there. Wow, who knew a bathroom could create such strong feelings. Someday perhaps you can experience our bathroom as well.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8789201122808500639-5762340537174546384?l=jestaples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stapleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03847456996600013325noreply@blogger.com0
