HELLO AGAIN.

I am starting fresh with a new layout. I think I was just growing tired of the way the other one looked. Those of you with google reader won't even notice a difference though!!! So I removed all links to other blogs in respect of those who might not want strangers looking on their blog at pictures of their children, etc, etc. If you want a blog address though let me know :)

Life has been extremely busy and tiring but good. Highlights of the past month...

-We took Mitch to the instacare on his birthday to find out he had strep.
-I didn't get sick amazingly, but did have to go and buy medicine for him on Sunday after church. Of course I ran into another Church member while there...
-My cute nephew Takeo was born! Mitch loves him and this has made him even more excited to hold his own baby!
-Our passion for Arrested Development has been rekindled (thanks to Valynne and Grant) because we now own season 2. I can't believe we don't own all of the seasons already.
-I finally watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I will only say that I felt the same way I felt after watching Gone With the Wind...
-I am constantly folding origami cranes in preparation to make a mon for my cousin's wedding (a family crest made out of 1001 gold cranes).
-The baby has grown and is still growing and I think I really need to invest in more maternity clothes. I know I am cheap, but I really hate spending money on maternity clothes. I need to get over that....
-Somehow I am gaining all of the weight in my face and behind. TMI?
-Mitch is concerned we are going to have an aggressive child after he placed his hand on my stomach and the baby punched him (and me) super hard.
-We went to Tucanos for all of the January birthdays and I remembered that I love that place.
-My mom and dad finally bought a new washer and dryer after a VERY long time (30 + years?). This is so amazing that I had to add it to my list. Now it is time for a new oven mom!

And highlights to come?
-Mitch and I are attending our first and last prenatal class/seminar this Saturday. It lasts 6 hours. 6 HOURS! Maybe 1 of those hours is a free massage. Doubtful.
-I have realized how much Mitch is wearing off on me when I got tickets for both of us to see Bronco Mendenhall speak to the BYU alumni next weekend ... and am actually excited about it.
-I think we need to register for baby stuff on Valentine's Day (as every other Saturday is booked for a while). Isn't that a great way to celebrate 5 years of being together?
-I will be getting my fill of Valentine's candy because it is the best. I love cinnamon candy.

Until next post...

How did you do that template?

Wow you guys really have been busy lately! The good thing about that is that it makes time go by quicker and when your pregnant that's a big plus!
I was the same way about maternity clothes. I hated buying them cause it felt like a waste of money since I would only wear them for a few months but you really do need them and if you find something cute it helps you feel better about the growing bump and any other growing body parts. I bet you look cute!
Hope you guys are doing well!

I love the new layout, it is nice and mellow. It actually made me sleepy as I am looking at it at 6:26 a.m. So I don't mind my link being up just so you know, I don't have as many followers as you do so any shout out helps. Ah oh yeah see you guys tommorrow

It was so FUN to see you the other day. I've missed you. I totally know what you mean about Gone With The Wind and my husband absolutely loves Arrested Development. I haven't seen too many episodes, but it might be worth owning... tell me if you think it is.
