edna mae originals

so, during my void of blogging over the last 6 months, i have started a card company...edna mae originals. yea!! (named after my wonderful grandma) i'm starting with cards (bithday, everday and thank you packs) and imprintable invitations...and i'm also working on prints you can hang on the wall.

the cards are made with 100% post-consumer recycled paper...check out my website...

and if you can put a link on your blog, it will help me be recognized by search engines.

I'm in one store in portland (hoping to be in more soon) and on etsy.com.

300 bucks or 15 cents, you pick

can i just tell you how much i love my husband?

our car was having a bit of trouble over the last few weeks and we took it to a mechanic b/c we thought it was related to some previous work that was covered under a warranty...unfortunately it wasn't covered under the warranty and they told us what they thought it was...and that it would be 300 bucks. we didn't really believe them...so we took the car back and travis, being the wonderfully mechanically minded man that he is, took a look at the problem himself...

come to find out...it was a 15 cent fix...it was just a nut that was missing on our starter and now our car works superb.

hooray for mr. fix-it-man! i love it!

and today was a beautiful day in portland. travis worked on the car and is finishing the bed he is making...and i hung outside, half working and half basking in the sun...wonderful, just wonderful.

week 32

trav took some pics of me this weekend with the wonderful camera he gave me for christmas!! i'm trying to learn as much as i can in the next 2 months...i have a long way to go to be able to use the camera manually, but i'm slowly getting there!

"how are you feeling?"...well, i'm feeling pregnant!! but i'm wonderful. feeling the weight of mr. moore...and my belly is starting to get in the way...but i'm still loving being pregnant. relishing in every ounce of sleep i get (and i'm getting A LOT) and taking it easy on myself. reading lots of baby books. (i can't help it, i'm one of those planners.) and we are just finishing up our birth class. (yep, i'm going the natural route and couldn't be more excited.)

travis and i went downtown this weekend to eat at a "live" vegan restaurant...we were definitely the outsiders, but it was so fun...looking around the room, you could tell the kind of lifestyle everyone was living...and it was inspiring. if i could just adapt just a little bit of them in my life, it would be great.

friends, ultrasounds, and driving tests...

this past week was superb...
first of all, travis and i are officially oregonians (finally!) we took our written driver's test to be able to get our oregon license...we still had our arizona license...but we passed with flying colors!

and we had an ultrasound this week and were able to get a good look at mr. moore's face...and his chubby cheeks! this makes me even more excited to meet this little guy!!


i also had a friend from minneapolis come visit! yea!! it was fun showing her my favorites hikes and coffee shop...and resting a lot!
