Our Little Sweet Pea



Baby Slowik is the size of a sweet pea this week and will double in size by this time next week!! Chris was reading something the other day that said if baby continued to grow at the rate it is now after delivery it would be around 15 feet tall at 1 month old!

25 Random Things-Imported from FB


Keep checking in to see Chris' list....He doesn't know it yet but I tagged him to do this as well!

1. My greatest fear is going blind.....and I have no idea why.

2. When I met my husband in 2002 he told me I was too young for him.....HA!

3. I want to own a vineyard someday and make my own wine!

4. I speak fluent Spanish and I've been to Mexico 8 times. One of the times I camped in a tent in the dirt. There were tarantulas in our tent one night when we went to bed EEK!

5. I own the entire DVD series of I Love Lucy and watched every episode within 2 months. I still watch random episodes when I have nothing else to do.

6. Chris and I call each other Hony. It comes from a graham cracker made by nabisco sold only in Mexico and Puerto Rico that I love called Hony Bran... weird...I know!

7. I can read a 600 page book in a day.

8. My grandpa has 23 grandkids and 41 great grandkids and 1 great-great grandkid. I have a BIG family.

9. I have never had a car payment!

10. I hate soda. All of it.

11. I am graduating from nursing school in June!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. My favorite color is yellow.

13. I have 2 chihuahuas sleeping on my lap while I'm writing this :)

14. I grew an inch taller after I got married. Late bloomer I suppose :)

15. I sleepwalk and talk in my sleep.

16. I've moved 14 times. 13 of those times were before I was 11.

17. I've been known to skip church to watch football. Bad I know.

18. I live an hour and a half from the Oregon coast but the last beach I visited was in Malibu, CA. I think the last time we went to an Oregon beach was almost 2 years ago.

19. I like to go fishing. But only with my brother, he says I'm good luck!

20. My favorite animal is a penguin.

21. I love going to the dentist. I think it is relaxing...must be the memory foam chairs.

22. I sanitize EVERYTHING. Tray tables on airplanes, my notebooks, doorknobs, tables at coffee shops and school, my cell phone. I always have alcohol swabs in my purse.....I have issues but at least I don't get sick!

23. I am really dreading working the night shift when I first start as a nurse.

24. I've worn a $325 pair of shoes with a dress from Target that cost about $10...but they say one quality item makes everything else look better!

25. I am joyful-and not just when things seem picture perfect- always, because I know that God is in control of my life. It's a beautiful surrender and there is NO better loss than to lose myself in Him. Jeremiah 29v11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
