Baby Wright

I am just a little over ten weeks now. I have been good as to not gain any weight so far, but generally women lose weight at this point in the pregnancy because of morning sickness. Knock on wood, but I have not had morning sickness thus far.

Our life has become a little busy with youth, my grad school, and preparing for baby! I am currently not working and loving the time I can spend preparing for baby! Our nursery theme is already set. It is very non-gender specific. Which is great because I can use it for baby number 2 regardless of gender. Yes, we are already talking about baby number 2.

Who did Cain Marry?



This is a question I know I will probably take with me to Heaven. I had always been told that Cain married a sister and their children married their sisters, brothers, and cousins; however, a few months ago someone told me about a theory that God created other people after Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden. This satisfied me until I started a deep study of the women of the Bible. I came across Genesis 3:20 "Then the man - Adam - named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all who live." I would be interested to find any other theories on this. Because I cannot see myself believing now that God made other people besides Adam and Eve is Eve was mother of all who lived.

Shrimp Memories

My grandpa Turner passed away a year and a half ago. Every day, I see reminders of him. We went out to eat at Cracker Barrell and I ordered fried shrimp. When the order arrived, my dad started smiling and then laughing like crazy. We all looked at him in astonishment. He said it reminded him of his dad.

One night after my dad graduated from high school, my grandpa took my dad out to eat just the two of them. They were farmboys and back then shrimp wasn't something so readily available this far up state as it is now. My dad ordered shrimp and halfway through eating it, my grandpa looked at my dad and chuckled, "Son, I don't think you are supposed to eat the whole thing." My dad had been eating the entire shrimp! Tail and All!
