I’ve now been pregnant longer than I had any one roommate in college (except Andrew of course), so this little girl and I are pretty good friends by now. I’m used to having a buddy with me all the time, and it kind of makes me nervous/sad to leave the known pregnancy stage and jump…
Family
Reading List
While I am kind of sad that I’m no longer a college student (I had a dream Monday night that I magically had another year at BYU and since I had finished all of my required classes I was going to take two semesters of fun classes) there are some perks. One in particular is…
Labor Day Weekend
I never dreamed in a million years that I would be living close enough to my family to be hanging out with them once a month. Needless to say, I’m LOVING the proximity! My family drove out Saturday afternoon and arrived in the evening, just in time to watch the last quarter of the BYU…
Blast from the Past: San Francisco
Recently I have been trying to organize my digital life in addition to all of the moving in/baby preparations. As I was going through pictures from our San Francisco trip last year, I realized that I never finished documenting our adventures. The following is for history’s sake; feel free to reminisce with me, or just…
45 Minutes of Heaven
There is no other way to describe the time I spend swimming laps in the pool. Besides the cute, little foot that keeps finding its way to my ribs, I can almost pretend that I’m not eight months pregnant.
The Elves Went on Vacation
Sometimes I wake up in the morning, look around, and realize that the wonderful elves who clean our little apartment must have taken a few vacation days. Darn. Today was one of those days. Andrew was taking off for campus around 10am, so I figured that would be a good time to get started digging ourselves…
The Jackson Post Redesigned
Since graduating in April, I have been brushing up on my HTML5 and CSS3 – the code behind the look of a website and its main content. After we moved to Indiana and I had a little more time, I also added PHP to my studies. PHP is another coding language that is often used…
The Most Incredible Two Years
Two years ago today I married the most amazing man. We’ve come a long way since that day. For example: They had just called for the Jackson side to realign for pictures. Of course I moved out of the way for their family picture. I was still adjusting after 20 minutes of being a Jackson…
33 Weeks
I think I’ve almost gotten used to being pregnant after 8 months. I have a really hard time remembering what it was like to not have a part of me that runs into things on a regular basis (just when I figure out how much space I take up, it changes). Our little girl is…
Project Afghan
When I was born, my dad gave me a green afghan that had been his when he was a baby, made by his neighbor. That blanket became one of my most prized possessions, which I affectionately called Snuggly. His mom, my Grandma Moose, made afghans using a similar pattern and my mom also began crocheting…
