Cara Louise Munzer

We have a little girl! I really can't believe it. She is so cute. It's great to finally be at home as a family. We are so blessed.

I had so much I wanted to say when I came to write this - but it's all gone from my head. I think I'm still a little woozy from the pain relief or something, but motherhood has been really great and our little girl is just so great. When she is asleep and away from my vision for a bit I know that she's cute - but when I get to see her again I realise just how cute.. awwww she is the best!

Cara asleep on her Daddy like that was so cute to see!

Baby's Due Date

So.. today is Baby's due date. No signs of him yet, but I guess it could still happen today. Andrew and I went for a walk this morning - we heard it's sometimes good to start things moving. I also took to jumping a little this afternoon.. oh well! Baby knows best when to join us. Tomorrow we have an appointment with the Doctor, we'll see what he says.. although he has always said a week late to be fair, so I guess maybe he's right. The midwife said they'll induce if nothings happened by 12 days overdue.. so in 12 days baby should be with us no matter what. We are so excited and just can't wait to see our little one.

C'mon baby!

LibraryThing

I spent most of today beginning to catalog our books. First I set out to find a way to do it. I was hoping to find some nifty website that would help me.. sure enough there is. First I found Shelfari.. this was OK, but I much prefer LibraryThing. Check them out, and let me know if you join too, and I can look at your library of books.

Wii

Yesterday, we bought a Wii! Can't believe we found somewhere that had them in stock.. We played on it quite a bit last night, but then had to leave it to go to a Youth Standards Night, where Andrew and I had been asked to speak. We spoke about the 'For the Strength of Youth Pamphlet' our talks were only part of the whole evening, which was really good. I felt the spirit. This afternoon we went to the baptism of Sam Amery, this was also a really lovely meeting filled with the spirit. I am so glad to know that the church is true!

Oh! and by the way - Andrew is addicted to the Wii. We'll have to take video of him playing and post it up - it is hilarious, especially boxing!

The world of the internet

I decided to start using Google Reader today, and have ended up adding a lot of feeds. It's been really interesting. Thanks Stevie for introducing me to it.

Just one of the interesting sites I found while adding feeds was this one.

Have a go and see how well you know me, by going here.

And also an interesting article about the church.

Are You In There...?

Baby, Peeping Out

I can't believe I haven't blogged about our baby yet. This is our scan at 16? weeks.. but I'm 30 weeks along now.. only 10 to go!

Being pregnant is great! Of course there are times when its really uncomfortable and scary (thinking about labour), but it's all for a little baby. My baby - who will learn and grow and be wonderful. I'm so grateful for the many blessings in my life. I feel so blessed with how well everything has gone so far. Just hope I can do as good a jon looking after our little one in his life, as Heavenly Father has done up 'till now.

Can't wait for baby!

This is one of my favourite photo's from our honeymoon.. This was at Salzburg Zoo.. we bought these tourist cards that got us entry to loads of stuff in Salzburg, and as we were only really there one full day we rushed around trying to make the most of it. One of my favourite days!

OK.. so it happened a while ago now.. but I thought I should really add it to the blog. Our wedding day was the best! It couldn't have been that way without the wonderful friends and family who helped out, and who came to enjoy this wonderful day with us.. seriously I can't imagine it being any better - it was GREAT!

I love being your wife Andrew.. and I'm so grateful that you are my husband!

I got engaged, went to visit family and friends across the UK, found dresses for the wedding, been house hunting, sorting out a mortgage and spending time with my bestest friend in the whole wide world ever and always will be.. Andrew.. plus lots of other great and wonderful friends too.. Life is great!

Hiding

Yes, it seems as if I have been hiding so far in 2006, just like Andrew in this photo. I haven't been hiding, I've just been busy.

Currently I am trying to find a job (almost done), find a wedding dress (proving difficult), a house (can't buy it without a job), design wedding invitations (Andrew will be a big help!) and I'm sure there is lots and lots more...

The Amazingness of Andrew

I don't think I can put in words just how amazing Andrew is. I am forever finding more things which I love about him. He is the loveliest, sweetest, kindest most talented guy I know, and I get to have him as my husband.. and he will be father of my children.. and he loves me, respects me, cares for me, trusts me.. I am so blessed, and I do realise it. When we meet people up in York they all tell me how amazing he is, like I wouldn't know.. but I do. I know. Love you always Andrew!

Played three games of Chess in one afternoon.. and won all 3 times!

I can't believe it! I didn't even think I was that good.. maybe this is my talent. It was a lot of fun though. I really love the Munzer family, can't wait to be properly part of it.

Scrabble

Scrabble

It has been a long time since I've played Scrabble. Andrew was a good opponent.. however I did win :D

It was such a close game. At several points we had the same score.. right up till the end.

Ever more excited!

Today I got a letter from the Europe Central Area Presidency. It made me so happy!

My favourite part.. and I loved the whole thing, was where it said;

Come to Europe expecting to see people join the Church. If you do, you will see more people enter the waters of baptism, even a "goodly number." (Mosiah 18:7)

I've wanted to expect that, but felt that maybe I shouldn't.. now I know that I should expect that, and I will! I'm so excited, and just hope that I can be as strong, faithful and prepared as this presidency, the prophet and my mission president have expressed in their letters. I really want to be the best missionary I can be.

As an extra note.. my favourite scripture of the moment in Romans 1:16, it may actually be my favourite for life! At last I have a reason for choosing one above all others.

Running with Angels

Tonight we had a Stake Relief Society meeting. It was amazing! I felt the Spirit as we sang, as we listened to presentations and testimonies and spent time with each other.

Our Stake RS Presidency have decided to set us a goal to raise the bar in our physical fitness. Inspiration was taken from the book Running with Angels. There is to be a sponsered run in May 2006 for all the women in the Stake. Everyone was challenged to prepare for that day, and walk, jog or run it better than they could today. I'm sad that I wont be in the Stake to participate but excited for the challange anyway.

I hope Lorna joins in!

Enjoying Life

It's been a while since I blogged.. I've just been enjoying life! Last night me and Andrew cooked Moussaka (Greek food) for friends. It was really lovely. Food was good, company was better!

Thank you Andrew!
