I'm back! Maybe...

Hello blog world! I'm back...for at least this one post.  I want to blog more, but obviously I want to do other things even more.

A lot has happened since I last blogged, but I'm not going to list it all out because it would either be a dreadfully boring list devoid of the exciting details or it would be a terribly long post with paragraph after paragraph of every little thing I could remember.  So instead, I'm just going to tell you our latest big news.



We are pregnant!  Our little bug is due July 25 and we couldn't be more excited!

I am currently 21 weeks along (that's about 4 and a half months) so I am a little more than halfway done baking this baby!

We had the opportunity to find out our baby's gender yesterday and we (more like I) decided to give in to the calls of Pinterest and have a little gender reveal party with our family.

We bought cheap-o necklaces in pink and blue from Zurchers and I made a cute little decorative sign.  

Yesterday morning we had our ultrasound and had the technician seal the gender in an envelope that we Michael then delivered to The Chocolate where he works.  The head baker there was nice enough to frost the cake that day and color the inside frosting either pink or blue.

It was a long day at work waiting for the big reveal.  I almost died. drama queen

We had all of our family from around here meet at my parents house and everyone voted with their necklaces.  I thought our little bug was a boy and Michael thought it was a girl.  Most everyone thought it was a girl actually.  The only boy votes came from me, my brother Zach, my brother-in-law Jared, and my nephew Beckham.

Well, we cut the cake and...



It's a girl!  We are thrilled to welcome one of God's precious daughters into our family and so glad we can stop referring to our baby as 'it'.

    Haha, your last comment made me laugh outloud--I also hated referring to Lily as an "it" before we knew what gender she was. :) Also, I love the cake gender reveal thing, so cute (even if very pinterest-y)! I'm so happy for you both, you're going to be such a fun and good mom! Big adventures are in store for you!

A lot on my mind...

"God fashioned me For feeding; And set me in A hungry land." -Carol Lynn Pearson In me, God has made someone who wants to help, someone who wants to serve. When I was younger, I never wanted to be a mom and I only wanted to marry a man that would follow me where my career took me as I tried to prove myself in a man's world. Well, since then my view has changed. All I want to do with my life is work for those that I love. That sounds so perfect. Now at the moment I have no husband and no children, but I love my friends so much and I strive to be the help they need. As Pearson stated, "God fashioned me for feeding and set me in a hungry land." These friends that I love so much are hungry. They come to me with all of their problems. It seems that an exceptional amount of people find me to be an excellent confidant. My friends tell me things they've only ever told their girl/boyfriends, bishops, or parents. Or even things they've never told anyone...

Thought burst

Things I've thought about blogging, but never really got around to making them into full blog posts: 1. Guys, if you're trying to win over a girl with a missionary, it's not wise to insult her, her choice, or her missionary. Not insulting her is a no-brainer, but guys still do it. Don't insult her choice to wait and date, or wait, or whatever the details are. She already feels alone and what she wants is a friend. If you're her friend then you have a much better chance at winning her over. Insulting her missionary is no good either. This is someone she cares about enough to consider waiting two years for. He is her love. If you insult someone she cares about deeply, she won't like you. 2. Stop playing these stupid games! Games and drama just hurt people and cause unnecessary stress. If you like someone, then act like it. Don't try to distance yourself. Don't tell everyone except that person. Don't be ridiculous. Just act true to your f...
