Sorry it took so long to get this posted. Seporah was born last night at 1004 eastern time. She is 20.5 inches long, and weighs 9 lbs 2.8 ounces. She has a full head of short brown hair, and deep dark blue eyes, that will probably change to brown over the next couple of months. She is pretty active, and has a healthy pair of lungs. =) Stay tuned for pictures, pretty quickly! =) Read More...

Well, it's currently 2:53AM and I finally tossed and turned enough to kick my husband out of bed and on to the couch. Never thought that would happen, but I've only been asleep from 11pm to 1:40am this night. The rest of the time has been tossing and turning and moaning and groaning. I am truely sick of being pregnant. It's said that pregnancy and labor and delivery causes you to have a greater appreciation for your mother and I'm thinking this is just not true. Read More...

We wanted to write and tell everyone Merry Christmas! So Merry Christmas! Last night we had friends over for dinner and we ate duck, tastes less like chicken and more like turkey for those who haven't had it. The friends we had over said we were murderers and it was slightly morbid for us to eat duck since we collect them :) . Just as a side note we have 20 lightbulbs in our house, 12 of them have burned out in the past 2 months (three were yesterday and we'd run out of fresh lightbulbs so it was slightly dark). We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Well, this Christmas season has been entertaining and interesting all around. I have been studying a new religion, Messianic Judiasm, and have learned alot about the bible that I've never really realized before. I spend all day saturdays there with their church and then drive home so I can attend church at the Baptist Church, where I will soon pass on my Youth Leader responsibilities to someone else. Probably at the beginning of the coming year. Read More...

Well life at the Rushing house is anything but rushing. It's more like the waiting house. Countdown to Christmas, countdown to baby being born, countdown to Steven's birthday, countdown to getting out of Augusta, Georgia. Although technically we only have real countdowns for Christmas and Steven's birthday because we don't know when Seporah will make her entrance or when we'll make our departure from Augusta. We were too lazy to do reviews, but watch Narnia and Zathura. Oh and although I gave King Kong an 8/10, Steven gave it a 3 thumbs down (with vomit on the side). Read More...

Well it's now happened the fourth year in a row (or at least it has almost happened). Christmas has come and gone I have neglected to do my "wifely" duty of sending Christmas cards and a warm greeting to everyone. It's not so bad, except yesterday we recieved a whole bunch in the mail and I thought, "why didn't I do this again?" The first year we were married I had just barely survived my first quarter of nursing school and I didn't feel like sending them out. Read More...

Well, I scanned pictures for an hour last night, finishing two of Grandma's photo albums. Today I set up a new website for all family pictures. Let me just say that it is depressing scanning so many pictures of people that I havn't met, or pictures of loved ones passed on. Read More...

The funeral and graveside went ok. Most people think it went well, but it just isn't so. Too much family politics. From my view (and i certainly didnt see everything) it was mainly a side dominating and a side backing down. Not what should have happened at a funeral, and best not happen at my Grandfather's. It was something I wish my Grandfather had not lived to see. Enough about that. Read More...
