Whoa

Things have been a little crazy around here. Josh and I are going on a “fast” from going out to eat {which, unfortunately, we do a lot} and buying unnecessary things … {which I do a lot} and I am so super excited. All of our everything has been paid off, sooooo that’s really nice. And we are just relaxing most days and enjoying my ever growing belly. I will probably start taking pictures of that soon … it’s just kinda freakin me out that there is something in there. growing. and it’s growing really fast, too.

We got to hear the heartbeat on Friday! It took a little bit for the doctor to find little baby’s heartbeat, though. I was starting to get worried. Finally he found the baby … in a corner of my uterus way down low. Silly baby. The heartbeat was magical. When we were able to hear the heartbeat the sound would get all static-like, so naturally I was freaking out thinking that my baby was having a heart attack or something, and my doctor smiled at my concerned face and said that the static sound was my baby moving around. And let me tell ya, that little one was moving SO much. Most of the sound we heard was static because the little one was so active.
I can’t believe that there is a little something moving around so much in there and I can’t even feel it yet! I really can’t wait until I can feel it.

Things are so good, life is good, and we are so blessed right now.
Josh and I are more in love than ever, and I didn’t think that I could love him anymore than I already did. Finding out that we were going to have a baby really solidified our relationship and it’s growing into something even better. I can’t wait to see him as a daddy. He is going to be such a good one. :o)

Change

Sometimes … the Lord plants an idea in your brain and you go with it because, well, it’s what you’re supposed to do. Then out of nowhere BAM! Plan is changed … now I have no idea why that plan was even planted in the first place. Maybe it was so we would prepare and then because of our diligence we were blessed with something even better.
Our Heavenly Father is soooo funny sometimes. :o)

In other news I decided that I am going to quit sugar for a while. Probably a month. I went completely ridiculously crazy with sugar during the holiday season, and my sugar addiction didn’t end after the holidays. We had like a bajillion birthdays and then Valentines Day, and then Easter, and not to mention General Conference {we make a lot of treats and eat a lot of licorice}. Now that all the candy and cookie making days are over I am stopping my sugar eating. Whew. I am glad that I am doing this because I know eating all that stuff is so bad for my body.

Today is a hang out in your pajamas all day not bother to get out of bed, and listening to Kings of Leon radio on Pandora kind of day. Also a snuggle with your fat cat kind of day. I should be doing homework, but I just can’t find the energy to. Maybe it’s the lack of candy. It will get done, though,  but it’s not due until midnight.

I watched this video this morning, and it made me a little bit weepy because it was fantastic. It’s a story about a little boy who builds an amazing arcade out of cardboard. He melted my heart. Watch it.

Monday, Monday, Monday

It came way too soon. Lucky for me I didn’t have my English class this morning, so I got to sleep in a whole extra hour! Woohoo! Couldn’t have come at a better time either. Daylight Savings kicked my booty yesterday, and I could not even focus during church. Ugh.

Josh and I didn’t do anything this weekend. I watched my littles on Saturday {and they were crazy … in case you were wondering}. I love them so much, though. They make my heart smile most of the time. I also bought some new shoes. They are the “SO” brand of TOMS. They are super comfy, and they were only 20 bucks instead of 60. Really made my night.

Sunday was spent hanging out with my dad eating pizza and cleaning out the garage of food he didn’t want, or couldn’t take with him to his new place. He has decided to stay in Gig Harbor, but he is going to take his motor home out for a spin to see how it works. I told him he could drive to Utah and visit me! He probably will, and that makes me so happy.
We also watched a movie. Tower Heist. Definitely not a Sunday appropriate movie, but it made us laugh and that is really important right now.

I probably should have worked on my research paper … but I really couldn’t muster up the energy. It is due next Tuesday. I am actually going to work on that pretty soon, but I have zero energy. I truly dislike research papers. Oh well. This is the last full week of classes, and I have only one day of finals next week and then I have a week and a half to get ready for next quarter, and clean out alllllll the garbage that we are not taking with us to Utah.
I am really excited. :D

Have a great Monday!!!!!!

It’s Beautiful Outside!

We were so lucky all weekend to be able to enjoy nearly 60 degree weather. It was a miracle for sure… because it’s been freezing and raining for over a month.

This weekend was spent doing homework, and spending time with my husband. It was nice… oh, so nice! I love, love, love the time we are able to spend together, which has been a lot more recently. :D
This weekend was also spent talking to the police because somebody in this wonderful Puyallup area broke into my Geo, dad-in-law’s Pontiac, and Chels'o’s Bravada. This person also stole Chelso’s stereo, and all the contents of her glove box {including the registration}, stole the Geo’s paperwork {registration and other things}, and also the Pontiac’s paperwork {again, registration and such}. This wonderful, wonderful person also switched ALL three of those cars into his name and reported them stolen. We attempted to file a police report online {because that’s what they said to do}, but the website wouldn’t work. At around 10:30 Saturday night the police showed up and knocked on mine and Josh’s basement door… and they had found our information! The police were onto the perpetrator for other things, and when he was running from the cops he dropped all of our stuff at a house that he was squatting in.
Anyways, the policemen stopped by and gave us a police report and told us to expect our cars to be stolen within the next few days. So far we have been lucky because this kid hasn’t come back… yet. Josh’s dad went to the DOL and got it all figured out, and everything that has happened is in the system now. I guess that the bad guy said that we sold him those three cars… and it’s been pretty messy. We are just so lucky that the police were doing their job trying to catch the guy that did this, even though they had no idea what he had done to us. They have his name, and his address so hopefully he will be caught soon.

Anyways, I was looking at blogs… because I do that instead of doing homework sometimes. Even though I already follow this lovely lady… I don’t always read her posts {which is so bad}, and she is amazing. In every way. And I aspire to be like her when I grow up… event though we are the same age. Her blog is The Shine Project, and what she does is fantastical. It makes me smile when I read her blog because I know that there is one person that is impacting the world for the better. She truly is amazing.

Have a great rest of your Monday! :D I am going outside now, since it’s so beautiful.
