Brain dump

So, I've been thinking...

Why are there tornados? Just to remind us we're not in control?
Why do babies have to get colds?
Why does my knee ache?
Why, Why, Why...

And then I remember the important things. :D

I'm prepared for the 'what ifs' of a tornado, and that makes me feel safe (er).
Adalyn is getting better and I think she'll be all over it soon.
I ran 8 miles today! That's the furthest I've ever run! I'm so grateful I can keep running on my sorry excuse for a joint (don't worry Dad, you did a GREAT job, and I know, it wouldn't hurt if I didn't run on it :D ). 

I played my cello today- I'm playing in a quartet and NOT for church... for a benefit. CRAZY happy to be playing again. 
I cleaned my WHOLE house today. It felt GREAT to know it's clean. Mom, I even dusted my baseboards. 
I enjoyed some FANTASTIC company on my run this morning and I'm 100% positive that's why I wasn't thinking about how far I had to run. I really enjoyed running with those great gals. 
I missed teaching today. While running and talking we reminisced on our old high school teaching days... and I MISS working with teenagers. It is my passion.
I cuddled my baby girl today. And I loved. every. minute! 

I think  I need to start reading more (sorry Tara, I'll get the book to you soon). 
And expect a tag post to come... my adorable sis-in-law tagged me. Hopefully, I'll tag you too. :D

Life is good. Life is precious. Take it and Live it. To the fullest.

I'm so jealous that you get to play in a quartet! I have to admit that's the one thing I miss the most about cello in high school/college - I just love chamber music. Nice job running so far. I haven't been a very motivated excersizer lately! Good luck with the rest of the semester!

So the cello is my FAVORITE instrument ever. I have always wanted to play. Would you mind teaching me a little? Just a little =)

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
