8 Things

My friend, Amy, recently tagged me on her blog, so here's a chance for you to learn a little bit more about myself. I love knowing the little details about friends and this seems like a great way to do that! So, here I go:

8 Things I'm looking forward to...
* Kylie is turning 3 next week, yikes
* Adopting! I am so ready to have another baby in our house and I'm itching for that new baby stage again. Kylie is going to make such a great big sister, whenever that time comes!
* participating in a Beth Moore bible study on Esther starting in June
* Celebrating my 30th birthday (only 3 months late) with my girlfriends in July
* Seeing my dear friend, Jen, who is visiting from Seattle in June
* Using my awesome birthday coupon for a free dinner at Benihanna
* getting off Prednisone and seeing if the new drug I've recently tried for my Crohn's disease is working (Please Lord!!!)
