HAPPY FRIDAY!

I feel like my brain has been shutting down lately. It’s kind of crazy. And a little funny. I can’t remember words like … feet, or shoe. Sometimes I forget my cats names. Shopping carts are now hangers {I can’t even explain that one}. The other day I asked Josh if he microwaved the floor. Of course Josh knew that I meant vacuum, buuuuuttttt he still laughed at me a lot. But if this is one of my only side effects of being pregnant, I will take it. Seriously.

Things have been normal around here. Just preparing for baby Alexander. We call him Lex. He has been moving SO much. He kicks really hard, and sometimes my hand twitches when he kicks at my hand because he is kicking so hard.
We have bought him a few outfits. I am trying not go to overboard with the clothes, though, because I know that we will be getting a lot. People can’t help but buy baby clothes. Who doesn’t like baby clothes?! THEY ARE SO TINY AND CUTE! At least, that’s what I think. :D

Josh has been working so much. And he starts school next week through our church. It’s a pretty cool program that costs next to zero money {thank goodness} and this program allows him to matriculate to one of our church schools next school year while still paying next to nothing. It’s amazing. I am taking off the next few quarters from school so Josh can have a turn to further his education. I am okay with it, and it’s nice to work and to save money for our baby. Josh will still be working full time, too. He is my hero. :o)

Missionaries

Oh, how I love them.
I love how much they sacrifice in order to serve the Lord.
How they go to foreign countries and learn a new, and sometimes hard, language for people they don’t know yet.
I love that they leave their family and friends behind to serve and bring people to the Gospel.
I love this church.
I love those boys and young women that are missionaries!
If it wasn’t for them, I would not be here today.

I especially love this missionary:

and here are some photos from last night: {thank you sister ‘Ryssa for all your loverly instagram photos that I steal from you}

So little Johnny boy {or should I say, Elder Larsen} you are gone now, but we know that you are doing the things that the Lord would have you do. We are super proud of you, and we know that you are going to bring many people to the Gospel because you are so caring and you are genuine. AND you’re a boss. {I can say this because you won’t read this probably for at least two years haha}
Love you!

Ho … Hey!

So, I was a pretty bad blogger last week. Sorry about that. I have been so busy!

School started!! :D Well kinda. It was like a “get to know you” think online. All of my classes are online because I needed to get a job, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to go to work and school on the same day. It would drive me crazy. So I chose online classes. :o) Yay.

SOOOO on Friday I didn’t get to post anything about my happy times this week, so I will right now.

10 things that made me smile this last week

1. HUNGER GAMES! Yeah.
2. My Kindle Fire spontaneously working out all of its bugs and being able to browse the web again. Hallelujah.
3. Got my transcripts for Winter Quarter: 3.93! HECK YES!
4. General Conference. Seriously, the best ever. {conference started yesterday, but it still mostly counts as last week}
5. This song. It’s really good, and I can’t believe that I had never heard it until last week!
6. These cookies. Seriously, they are so freaking good. My whole family loved them.
7. Licorice.
8. Sister Chelsey. I actually haven’t talked to her in AGES! But I was thinking about things that happened a long time ago with a certain dirty hipster and they just made me laugh!
9. Finally getting a call from Ross saying that my background check came in {It only took 1.5 weeks, but it’s okay}. Now I can work!
10. Moving my dad, and seeing his new place!

This week has been mighty interesting, to say the least! I helped my dad move on Saturday, and then my car broke down. I am not super worried about it, though. It has needed to get fixed anyways, and I think that my car was just saying that he’s had enough. Poor little Optima Prime.
I found some books that I really liked. Too bad they are WILDLY inappropriate, and I would not let my family read them.
My brother and his wife had their new baby today!
Her name is Farrah Jeanne, and she is the the CUTEST newborn. I love all of my nieces {all 6}, and my one little nephew.

That’s all for now. See ya tomorrow, I hope.

Come what may

And love it…

This sort of has a little to do with what I blogged about yesterday.
I found this video, and it made me smile so I thought that I would share it with you.
Enjoy!

Have a great Thursday! :D I had a Geology test today. Ugh.
But guess what?! There is no school on Monday, and that is REALLY EXCITING! I get to sleep in! And then work on a paper. Woohoo!
