No Opportunity Wasted

I had such a fun time yesterday!!! I got to meet Phil Keoghan. I love him and his philosophies. I have read some of his book and it inspires me everyday!! If you don't know who he is - he is the host of Amazing Race and he lives his life FULLY and in a way that will leave him with no regrets. Do you have a list of things you want to do in your life? It's a wonderful idea I had seen alot before. I have a list that I started more than 10 years ago and I have made some of those things happen. It was refreshed for me and others when Phil Keoghan wrote a book and started a show called No Opportunity Wasted (Phil is the host of Amazing Race as well) where people were challenged to face their fear and reach for their dreams. You apply and if they accept you they just show up at your house or at work and you get 72 hours and $3500 to take that step. They arrange days off work or childcare - whatever. Now they are doing the show in Canada - on CBC. You can apply on NoOpportunityWasted.ca. CHECK IT OUT!

I want to point out too that it isn't just a selfish pursuit. It all depends on what your dreams are. I just think it is so important to think about the way you are going to live your life and be deliberate about it. We only get one shot at it. Don't let it slip away from you!

That's pretty cool that you met him. I heard him on a radio interview this afternoon and am curious as to what his "story" is. I don't have a "list" but have thought much about it. Perhaps I'll get it started with all of the free time I'll have in the coming year ;)

Sorry we didn't make it out last weekend. I was a little uncomfortable making that trip at 35 weeks. We're looking forward to seeing you guys in June though!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn

And the final answer is....

The 2 Week Wait is Over

The waiting is finally over. Today was the day - after 2 long weeks of waiting - that I went for my official pregnancy test at the dr.'s office. I had done a couple of Home Pregnancy Tests so I pretty much knew what to expect. I have been praying constantly, as have many of you out there (thank you so much for that). Well, God heard all of us and we are happy to report that the test came back positive. We are really happy but also very cautious . It was only 5 months ago today that we lost our pregnancy at 5 1/2 weeks. We are going to just continue praying that God will watch over this pregnancy and that a healthy baby will be born. We give Thanks to God !
