lets seeeeeeee....

I am determined to turn this blog into a book this year. Except that means I actually have to document all of the things I want to remember throughout the year. Which brings me to my next thought: how much info is too much info on this little blog? There are little details I want to be reminded of as I flip through this book in 10 years, yet they might be a little TMI for everyone else. Such as- how much (or how little really) I am effaced and dilated at my weekly appts. In 10 years when I am wondering how my pregnancies progressed at the end, it would be nice to not have to drag out the ol' journal for that year and find that date just to know. When I could otherwise simply open my nifty blogbook that I will have displayed in my house and say "aha! there is that useless info I was looking for, perfect". Decisions, decisions people. For now, I'll keep those tasty little morsels of information to myself. You should consider yourself lucky on that account because it IS 4:45am and I am blogging so who knows what could end up on here by the end of this post.

EASTER:
Was great. I made BJ an Easter basket and surprisingly he made me one too. I kept telling him we were going to exchange baskets this year, all the while thinking he would forget because it was kinda silly. he remembered though and it was kinda cute.

ta-da!

MATERNITY PICS:
I was really hesitant to take these at all. I knew I wanted to remember my first pregnancy buuuuutt at the same time, I'm pregnant and definitely look it. And who realllly wants to document a chubby, swollen stage in their adult life? hmm. Oh yea i forgot I'm working on a good attitude. I am glad I took these and in 10 years won't care that all my pregnancy weight went to my face. Hooray! Did I get that right??

Anyway, I decided to just have a "mini session" done by a friend in my ward. The day of I actually tried to cancel. I sent her a email telling her never mind and that I was sorry. An hour before the appt she text me and said she had the sitter lined up and would meet me at the fountain in our neighborhood at 6. wtc?! I checked my email and realized I spelled her last name wrong in the email that never made it to her. So I went and although I am not in love with myself in the pictures, I am glad i have it documented.

I guilt tripped BJ int taking these with me. He wan not planning on it at all and I was not going to make him. At the last minute I was chickening out and asked him to please meet me there too. I thought he was not going to show up because he thinks maternity pictures are pretty lame but he showed up!

Why am I faceless these? Because now that I have this little event documented on my blog, at the end of the year when I am putting together my book I will remember to go back and put the ones with my face in for the whole world NOT to see. And I will edit this whole little paragraph out. booya. I love technology!

TEMPLE with Virg:
My mom came up to finish getting Virg ready for her mission and to go through the temple with her for the first time. Virg, my mom, BJ and his dad were all there and I am so glad I got that experience with her.

VIRG goes to the MTC!
After going through the temple Virg and my mom flew to Texas for a few days and then Virg was off to Utah! Lucky for her, our wonderful friends ashley and heather were able to spend the last 2 days with her and take her into the MTC. They went to the temple, took her for a few "last meals", gave her advice and I am sure made her laugh a whooole lot. I wish I could have been there with them.

I is amazing how much I much miss her already. We have lived together the past year and it was a flashback of high school. you know, all of those really mature fights about taking your stuff and whose mess is whose? Yes, it was lovely. Sike ya out. We had days we loved it and laughed our heads off and others that we wanted to kill each other. Such is the relationship of sisters that live together, eh? In the end I am glad we had this experience and that I was able to see her so much before she left for a year and a half. I miss her and ton and love hearing from her. She has an amazing attitude all the time and I know she will be the best missionary to the people of Peru.

LIFE:
is good. I finished this semester of school and passed (we've lowered the bar these days) all the 19 hours I took, including MATH. nothing short of a miracle. Now that the semester is over and I have gone part time at work, I have to say being pregnant isn't so bad. Having time to relax and get ready for this baby makes a difference. Who would of thought. I think I may even kinda miss being pregnant. Don't hold me to that one though :-).

okay I am going to go mop my floors or something really cool since my husband is in there just sleeping away like a little angel. Lately when I tell him how much I can't sleep he proceeds to tell me how weird it is that he CAN sleep sooo great these days. Barf. I'll kill 'em. Or maybe just wake him up by doing a load of laundry right now. We shall see.
