just some awesome goings on

The past few days some ''awesome'' things have happened 

so I thought I'd share them with you all!

- Jeremy got accepted to Dental School in Baltimore, Maryland! 

Hurrah! We can't wait to be an East Coast Family :)

- Our babe is a pro sleeper.  She slept 9 straight hours the other

 night and then woke up happy and smiling! say wah??? Yes.  

Most nights 5-6 hours, 8 hours last night.  We love her. 

 And we're going to go into shock if she has siblings that aren't angels.

- Sitting on the freeway in bumper to bumper traffic

 just me and Madeline and singing 'Rolling in the Deep' 

at the top of my lungs, only to look back at the car behind me 

and that driver is singing along to the same song!

It may have been one of the coolest moments of my life

- Having a discussion about previously mentioned move to Maryland

and husband asking me if he think's we'll need a moving truck.

{hmm.... let me think.  kitchen appliances, tv, kitchen table, bed, 

crib, changing table, two desks, our clothes, the list goes on and on}

Yes Jer, I think we'll need a truck.

And there were like 529870 other things I was going to tell you...
But I forgot.

Here's a great video for you all!

Funniest part of all, Jeremy tried to do the same thing the other day
and she tried then totally started crying!
{Wish we'd gotten that on camera too}

Awkward/Awesome: Airport Style

Awkward

- Trying to type while breastfeeding (i.e. one-handed) and 

subsequently spelling awkward with a 'Q'

Thank goodness for backspace. {And no I wasn't trying to 

type and breastfeed at the same time in the airport.

 I save that for the comfort of my own home}

- Getting in line to board your flight and waiting in said line for a good twenty minutes only to find out that this line is boarding a plane to Houston and not Spokane. And then soon after hearing an announcement over the intercom, obviously in connection to you, that they are now boarding to Houston and not Spokane. Thank goodness this wasn't us...

- Waiting to board with a crying baby and feeling the

 annoyance radiating from the other passengers that a 

fussy baby is going to be on their two hour flight.

- Boarding said flight with now sleeping baby but 

having to walk the aisle past business select glaring

 at you for having the audacity to fly with a baby.

Awesome

- Madeline slept the whole flight! Boo-yah business select!

- Walking into the airport in SLC and seeing a massive security line.  We had plenty of time, but still, who likes waiting in those never ending lines?  We'd been in line probably less than a minute when a kind, angelic TSA guy escorted us to the small child line! Oh the sweet rewards of carrying around a baby {they are few but sweet} 

- Getting our picture taking with Santa {for FREE} during our three hour layover - saWEET!

- My awesome Mother-in-law who came down to help us through finals week and did wonders for my nerves flying home. It felt so good to know she was there incase Madeline fell apart because I think Jeremy and I would have too. Luckily nobody fell apart and we made it safely to Spokane.

We are so happy to be home for Christmas and we're glad we 

don't have to be in Utah for almost three weeks!

 No offense Utah-ans, we just like the Northwest.

Awkward/Awesome Thursday

Awkward

- Having the person next to me during school devotional do a double take because it looked like a raquet ball had just been released in my abdomen.... Thank you Madeline...

- 2 ply toilet paper that isn't aligned. Like I just wanted to try and get some toilet paper that was slightly cheaper, and look what they do! you rip and you get a whole top sheet and half of the ply underneath. {Reminds me of The Office episode when Dwight un-ply's the toilet paper, haha}

- Getting a nice kick in the bladder while trying to empty out my bladder. Baby - I can only pee so fast!

- {Apparently I'm on an awkward-bathroom spree... sorry. I'm in there a lot lately} But anyhoo, at the doctor, giving them my usual urine sample in a cup, putting the cup in the little trap door... there's another cup in there. What the heck? And they're in like little drinking cups {seriously would it kill you to get cups with lids and labels?} So then having to explain that my pee is the lighter yellow on the left - her left, not mine. So awkward!

- Going in to brush my teeth last night, noticing my brush sitting on the edge of the counter, thinking it'd be good to move it so it doesn't fall on the floor, but doing nothing about it.  Dropping the toothpaste into the sink and catapulting my brush right into the...

toilet... Don't worry I used a glove to get it out and threw both the glove and the brush away immediately.  We're good.

Awesome

- Oh man now I gotta think of some really good awesomes.... Um the fact that it's finally cooling down! hurray!!! Seriously it hasn't been over 80 lately and we've been having rain :) I love rain!

- The fact that I'll be 30 weeks pregnant on Saturday! I feel like we're almost to the home stretch!

- Writing a pretty decent paper in like an hour! wah-bammm!

- The fact that my awkwards end in '...' and my awesomes end in '!'

- Getting to start my new calling as Ward Choir director on Sunday! eek! I'm excited, but nervous too :/ It's gonna be fun!

Well I in all honesty am now officially running late to class... so I should probably go like blow dry my hair hahaha

Awkward/Awesome Thursday - Animal Style

Awkward

- The picture below reflects very well how I'm feeling these days. I'm six months pregnant.  I look like a hippopotamus surrounded by young, cute, stylish, skinny birds {other college students}.  Lets just say its a good thing I'm already married. I've come to the conclusion that I really should stop wearing gray; it just makes the whole hippo thing a whole lot more real than it should be.

- I had to look up how to spell hippopotamus... no comment...

- Maybe I'm just really immature... but reading about the castration of the mythical god Uranus by his son while his parents were doing it just wasn't really my favorite.  I know, immature.

- Calling and getting mad at my doctors office {verge of tears people} for not getting my records faxed in time only to find out it takes 15 days and I only gave them 3 days notice... oops : /

- Walking into every class panting and sweating, because a mile and a half walk to class is kinda a lot to ask of me at this point; especially when its like 90+ freakin degrees outside! Thanks Utah.

- Feeling like I'm walking so fast and doing so well walking fast to campus, only to be passed by like 5 people right after.  Happy thought gone...

Awesome

- I can't believe I'm saying this, but school.  I've missed it.  And it feels good to have something to do everyday :) 

- Maybe slightly contradictory, but the fact that I don't have classes tomorrow: hurray!

- Seeing/hearing about other super pregnant women who are going to school full-time this semester too!

{you have no idea how good that makes me feel! Now to find one of them and become friends...}

- If I am a hippo, Jeremy is my giraffe. My tall, handsome, sexy giraffe. He has been the most amazing giraffe you can ever imagine.  Drying countless tears, driving his blubbering wife to campus so she doesn't have to walk, cleaning our kitchen even as we speak, and making dinner {for the record, I offered and he said no I didn't have to!}, telling me I can do it, and giving me pep-talk after pep-talk. I guess what I'm saying is, he's just kinda amazing... and I really don't know what I'd do with out him!

Awkward/Awesome Thursday

Awkward:

- The fact that husband and I sat on the couch {quite literally} all day and watched reruns of The Office.  We needed a break, k?  Don't tell me you never have one of those days.  We've already promised each other today will be much more productive! Yet here I am at 11:00am, still in my pajamas sitting on the couch... no comment.

- Having totally random strangers come up and rub my belly.   I guess it doesn't bother me bother me, it just took me by surprise.  I've never done that to someone, but hey, it works, I can be friendly!

- Walking around Target for way longer than needed.  I have a spacey brain my friends.  I walked from the peanut butter, to the shoes, back to the bread, to the water filters, to just back and forth around the store searching aimlessly for random things.  I'm just that cool.

Awesome:

- Watching my belly move from the outside.  Not gonna lie it kind of freaked husband out haha but its so cool!  I can't believe that in just over three months we'll be holding Madeline and ahh!  So crazy awesome :)

- A hard working, responsible, amazing, wonderful, perfect {ok not perfect... but close} husband who has done everything he can to provide for our family, and make sure we're alright, even if that means taking on a bunch of random, not so fun shifts at work.  I love you babe!!!

- The amazing job we're going to do cleaning out our old apartment today! wah-bamm! It's gonna be sparkling!
