The Meaning of Life

Here I am sitting in front of my desk during my lunch break with crumbs on my shirt from my PB & J sandwich that Rob made for my lunch today. Ants are crawling around my desk...not because of the crumbs...but because of the monitor that was brought up from downstairs yesterday. I noticed a few ants crawling on it the other day when it was downstairs...now we have brought the aunt hill up here when we brought the monitor up. Of course, the crumbs will make the ants stay around my desk. Oh well. The PB & J sandwich was good! Now I'm eating some carrots. (I don't always eat this healthily for lunch...but you can think that I do!)

As you can tell, my life is very exciting right now, and that's why I haven't written much in my Blog yet. Work (yawn) and play with Rob after work and waiting for Patterson junior to come along. Now, that is something I get a little more excited about all the time. :) He's starting to kick more. Rob has even felt him kick...when he really gets going. It's often crazy to think that I have a little baby in my abdomen. But he's there, and he often makes his presence known! I love it when he does that!

It's awesome to be expanding our little family by having a baby. I was thinking yesterday that this baby is really strengthening Rob's and my relationship. I continually feel closer and closer to him. There's something about having a baby that really bonds a couple together. (And those of you with kids are probably thinking how kids can sometimes drive you apart!! Just kidding.) That bond has something to do with family...and it's hard to explain why. But knowing that we are going to add to our family and that our family will soon change to be Rob, me, and the baby instead of just Rob and me, strengthens our relationship and brings us closer together. Family takes on a new meaning. And it's awesome.
