The past month has just flown by which is very scarey! Ted spent two weeks at Camp San Luis Obispo and Zerrell and i spent two weeks missing him. Zerrell asked about him every morning when she woke up and all day long. Everytime the phone rang she thought it was him. I barely hung in there having to be a single mom while being 7 1/2 month pregnant. I did get some good things accomplished while he was away. I got our house looking like an actual home. Pictures hung, books but away, knick knacks out, etc, etc. I had a HUGE yard sale with my mom which was very successful. And i started having contractions( no wonder? ) so my doctor said i needed to take it easy for the next 3 weeks. Which i have been trying to do but easier said then done with a 20month old running around. We had a fun Halloween. Carving pumpkins and going to trick or treating with our family. Zerrell was Mary Poppins. I made her costume, which i thought turned out very well.
Some wonderful news is that Ted has a job. He started this week. Its with the national guard fixing helicopters. Its the same one he has had on and off over the past year and he really enjoys it.
Zerrell is talking more and more and climbing more and more everyday! She is just getting SO big, turning into such a little girl. She has this naked barbie that she takes everywhere with her. plus she loves a little tea set that her great grandma gave her. She pretends to pour us all tea and puts milk and sugar in it and then sips it.
Harper is moving around inside of me like he's trying to get out. Zerrell finally felt him move but wasn't too sure about the whole thing. She still thinks that everyone has a baby in their belly button.
Another blessing i wanted to share with you is that ted and I got a free king size mattress. Which has been a prayer of ours for the past 7 months. We had gone looking at beds and came to the reality that we couldn't afford one before Harper was born. Then one day last week my aunt called me to say that she had found a free king size mattress online for us. We have been enjoying a wonderful nights sleep of all three of us having more then enough space to sleep and role over for about 4 days now.
So while we have faced a number of challenges over the past few months we have also been shown how God is good and has blesses us with everything from a job to ted and a free king size mattress.

Well, I don't know if I am ready for a FREE king size bed. Well, unless there is money stuffed inside. I know, us men have so many conditions on our faith. Well, I guess the next time I go to the bank and the teller asks me, "Is there anything else I can do for you today, Mr. Bradley?" I will respond with, "You don't by chance have a free king size bed do you?"
Hey, that will get me into less trouble than bellowing, "Put all the money in this bag."
