Announcements, Announcements, Announcements!

We have a HUGE announcement this week! Jeremiah passed his motorcycle test . . .

and . . .

We brought home the very best souvenir from Australia . . . We're pregnant!

I'm almost 15 weeks along, so the baby is due February 20th. Everything is going great and we are SOOOOOOO excited! We just heard the heartbeat today, and it was super strong. I'm out of the first trimester now, but still feeling a bit nauseous. Overall, though, I feel great! We'll find out if the little monster is a boy or a girl on September 25th, and we can't wait!

So, get your pregnancy and baby advice ready!

Another post about nothing

So . . . there are plenty of things I could blog about, if I really wanted to. But I don't. I definitely don't feel like downloading all of my pictures and I for sure don't feel like rambling on about my life - so instead I will ramble on about my current thoughts and reflections . . .

1- Have you ever noticed how people get super defensive about the pronoun "it"? - Seriously, it is just a pronoun. Maybe it bothers you when I refer to your cat or dog or child as an "it." I'm not sorry. Our language has a lack of a pronoun that works for both a man and a woman, and until one is added to the dictionary by the language gods, I think I will stick with my "it."

2- Lately I have been craving fruit and veggies a ton, but I never want to buy them because it grosses me out if they are in the fridge for more than 2 days. Dilemma, I know.

3- Summer is almost over but I never really feel like it started - but my feet do. I have nasty flip-flop heels. Gross. Any suggestions that don't cost a billion dollars?

4- Speaking of money, how is it possible that Jer and I have been poor college students our whole marriage and yet we have accumulated so much stuff? Seriously - how does this happen?Someday you will hear on the news that kasie and jer have disappeared in the mounds of crap stuffed around their house. Except, now you actually won't hear that story, because I just got rid of a little bit of it at a yard sale. Nice.

5- By the way, I have a new job as a tutor at the writing center. I promise I am good - just don't judge me by my blog writing.

6- What's up with all the haters? Lately it seems like everyone I talk to is SOOOO critical about everything - movies, food, people, politics . . . everything. I honestly believe that life is SOOOOOO much easier if you enjoy most things you encounter. Why spend the time being all critical about things - you can have your Twilight and classic literature, too! Especially when it comes to relationships. People become so freakin picky and critical of their friends and family members. Chill-ax, people. I promise it is less work to just let it go and be happy about it then it is to always hold grudges. I think you can tell a lot about someone by asking how many people they hate in the world. Me - zero.

Maybe the next post will tell you about all the important things happening in my life right now, but maybe not. :)

We're Alive!!!!!

So, I know that it SEEMS like we have fallen off the face of the earth, but really I just haven't had internet since returning from Australia! No worries - I am now reconnected with the tech world and I promise to post lots of fun things in the days to come. But for now, no fun info. I just wanted everyone to know that we are alive and in Utah and that I will be posting more soon!

Oh, and if you have lost faith in my blog because I never write anymore, there are lots of super cool things on our life menu plan - so start reading our blog again or you will miss out! Hehehe!
