Daddy Time!

Does this happen to your husband? If Brandon settles in for any length of time (the second his body touches the couch!) he is attacked :)

You know all the things that you could have had no idea about when you were initially choosing your spouse? The things like how how he'll be as a father, how he'll treat you when you are pregnant and miserable, how he reacts to massive amounts of stress - you know 'those' type of things, married people things. I'm realizing everyday how lucky I am to have Brandon. I'll tell you strait out, I'm pretty sure my hormones chose him :) I only know that for a few million LDS couples that marry a few months after meeting and rational thinking says that none of us will last the year - inspiration is real, the Lord talks to modern day people and I am so grateful for that! Because He knew that Brandon was patient and mellow enough to let me have my freak-outs now and then and still love me. I know I'm a lot to handle and Brandon makes me feel like he doesn't mind (most of the time!!! hahaha - poor guy!) I love my husband, he works so hard for what - at this time - feels like so little! I feel like I won some sort of husband lottery (on the days I'm not a hormonal roller coaster - lets face it, pregnancy is not pretty on me ladies!) So give your husband his favorite dinner, a (semi) clean home, get dolled up (for me that means taking a shower...) and give your husband a giant hug (or if your husband is like mine - refrain from hugging him because he doesn't like being hugged!:) )

Boredom?

Who knew being done with a (10 credit...) semester of classes could be so BORING! I'm attributing it to a couple of things...

#1 of course is pregnancy - my desire to get up and go is minimized by the pain and fatigue of getting up and going...

#2 I got used to sitting at the computer for 3 hours every morning to do my homework and now I'm in the habit of it but with nothing productive to do on a computer for 3 hours. Facebook and I have been seeing WAY too much of each other...

#3 I also got used to being really busy, I liked it. I feel like I get more done when I'm busy, you know, if you have nothing to do but housework and kids all day there is nothing urgent about it and you can laze around until you feel like doing it??? But when you are really busy you wake up ready to beat the day,"the day only gave me 12 hours of light to accomplish my list of tasks well BOOM BABY I got 'em done Sucka!" Maybe that only makes sense to me... :)

#4 NEVER been a big fan of housework, not really my thing, but at this point it is my only 'thing' along with my kids and husband, I need to find a hobby that doesn't cost anything and is conducive to a soon to be mother of three and wife of a self employed man...

Suggestions???

Two Little Girls...

(Kenzie & Aunt Heidi - Brandon's youngest sister)


Brandon spent all of conference scanning pre-digital pictures. We pulled out the picture above and asked the kids who it was, they both immediately responded that it was Kenzie. Nope. The 80's one is me, they just don't know the difference between 80's pics and megapixels :) It's hard to see my face very clearly but it's very clear to see who the little one in our family resembles!!!
Pretty much the only difference I see is that her little nose has a bit more of a point and mine is a bit flatter... Cloning is REAL!!!! :)
