March Gratitude

Gratitude for March:
  • Living in UT where there is an abundance of Temples all around. I am so grateful for the chance to visit them!
  • I am so excited to be working with the Young Women in my ward. They are so much fun and teach me oodles.
  • I love the diversity of weather here. The re-awakening of the world. The beautiful seasons.
  • I love firsts. The first day of spring, the first day of walking around with out shoes on, the first day of open windows, etc.
  • Simple dates and time with my husband make for a happy Amy
  • My beautiful tea set! It is the first of my collection (I have yet to collect others, but I decided to collect tea sets and cake stands a long time ago. I now have one of each and am loving them... so if anyone needs gift ideas....)
  • This is the month where I learned the power of the red lipstick. It is powerful! It is magic. Try it!
  • I am grateful for leprechauns and the fun they give us, as well as my father in law who shares a birthday with the little people.
  • The creative thoughts of my sweet son
  • Reconnecting with my grandmother
  • Learning to enjoy every season of life.

Heavenly Presents

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
