beauty and the blog.

I’ve been trying to form words to describe how I’ve been feeling for awhile now. I have a lot to say about a lot of different things, but they haven’t come to me. They sit jumbled up in a pile, like those word magnets that were all the rage several years ago. Words that meanContinue reading “beauty and the blog.”

the second time around.

Living with the barfing is much easier the second time around. The anxiety of ‘ZOMG I’M GOING TO BE SOMEBODY’S MOTHER‘ is easier the second time around. Figuring out what baby crap is actually necessary and what is just crap is also easier the second time around. However no one told me that just existingContinue reading “the second time around.”

the one about all the stuff I forgot.

First doctor’s appointment down! (Hi Daddy! I’m about to talk about my cervix! I hear there’s a good show about ice on the Discovery Channel! You should probably go there…xo-doodlebug.) You know what I forgot? How much is involved with OB appointments. First of all there’s the needles, where they take enough blood I’m absolutelyContinue reading “the one about all the stuff I forgot.”

the one where we hang out with touchdown Jesus.

Dear Notre Dame, I’ll admit that I was picturing your campus to be far more Hogwarts-y and far less…college campus. I blame Disney for some reason. Regardless, it was pretty. Nice and old and well maintained. A lot of your fans commented on how many Utah fans were there. We were surprised too. One guyContinue reading “the one where we hang out with touchdown Jesus.”

everyone is damaged.

This photo was taken in San Francisco over two years ago. So much has changed since this moment. Three and a half babies have been added, one has been taken away. All of us have been hurt and damaged in so many different ways since that night, and when I think about just how much…Continue reading “everyone is damaged.”

happy birthday emily.

Today is Emily’s birthday. Seeing as she’s the best gift the Internet ever gave me (that is until the Internet bestows a Dyson upon me, which has yet to happen, but trust me, Emily will understand when it happens) you all get to gag on the lovey dovey sentiments I’m about to throw out. OurContinue reading “happy birthday emily.”

six tricks later. treats.

2005. We lived in Utah (in fact we lived with my mom) Cody was still in undergrad, Addie was 10 months old. Her first Halloween costume was an overpriced Tom Arma Skunk. It was totally worth it. Six Halloweens later. We live in our first house in Indiana, Cody is a lawyer. I’m pregnant withContinue reading “six tricks later. treats.”

lots of other stuff I did (or will be doing) other places.

This blogging stuff is feast or famine, yo. 1. I won the Tempurpedic bed from Fadra! (holeeee crap! SLEEPOVER AT MY HOUSE!!) 2. I’m giving away a Seagate GoFlex portable hard drive, enter to win! (Or lose all your photos in a tragic computer accident, your choice.) 3. I can’t get enough of Pledge cleaner.Continue reading “lots of other stuff I did (or will be doing) other places.”

an open letter to mozzi, no. 1

Dear Moz, Look, I realize we haven’t gotten off to the best start. There was the whole barf my brains out thing which is never a good way to start any relationship, then there were the boobs of fury that didn’t let me do much of anything but lie around and keep them as stillContinue reading “an open letter to mozzi, no. 1”

the one about something (maybe) being wrong.

I think something is wrong. Logic and the many people surrounding me tell me otherwise. I am only one entity while the logic and people surrounding me are countless. Who to believe? I know who I want to believe, but I also know I’m the only one living in my body. Logic says I haveContinue reading “the one about something (maybe) being wrong.”
