Currently

Well, hello blog. It's been a while. Summer has come and gone, and I might confidently say it's been the best yet. And while I started writing like...3 posts, in true Rebecca fashion never finished any of them, so I guess here's a recap and a "currently" post.


Watching: Is anyone NOT watching Breaking Bad?! Holy moly, maybe not the most relaxing way to start my week. I switch between hating Walt and feeling sorry for him every single episode. The writing blows me away.


Listening to: I don't get to choose often, as husband opens spotify before he opens his eyes. However I've finally discovered the joy that is Bon Iver, yes i'm a few years late, but it's nice. Also Sigur Ros, Iron & Wine, and Tegan and Sara all the time.


Reading: This summer has been lovely as I've had enough down time to really get a lot of books in. I reread the Harry Potter series (I won't tell you how quickly I did that and with how many tears, it's a little embarrassing), and got a couple good classics in. The Book Thief was recommended by a dear friend which was both completely lovely and heartbreaking, and I'm happily anticipating the movie this fall. Now I'm REALLY trying to finish Emma by Jane Austen so I can start my first P.G. Wodehouse novel, but even that is not incentive enough for me to read faster.


Anticipating: A new addition: to the house! Our landlord is really awesome and has agreed to add a large bedroom to our loft, which will let us spread out a little bit and really open up the space.  We get to choose paint colors and help out with the general ideas of the room, should be done January-ish, and we are eager.


Wishing: That it would stay this chilly and lovely! Fall is just the best time of year and I'm thrilled to start  getting cozy by our fire. And I've been holding out on the pumpkin extravaganza but I don't think I can for much longer.


Working on: Growing a baby. Yep. God has blessed us immensely and we are expecting! For those of you who have shared on our journey (more can be read here) we are so grateful for all your prayers and love that have been so evident. Our hearts are full, and we can't wait to meet wee little kent on or around March 27th. This pregnancy has made itself more known than the previous one, and every day of feeling less than great just made me so joyful knowing that my body is doing what it was designed to do, and that everything's going well. Amazing how you cherish things you never thought you would! I'm a little over 3 months in, wee kent is the size of a lemon, and I'm feeling much better these days. Just tired and enjoying being as lazy as humanly possible. Also that extra bedroom is going to turn out to be pretty handy.


Well, that was our summer, how was yours?
