i'm dreaming of a white...

THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!
gobble gobble!

so, apparently there is going to be a MASSIVE snow storm this afternoon... i can't wait!!! :D

except, i am at work... which worries my boss. he told me I AM NOT ALLOWED TO STAY PAST SIX tonight. because he doesn't want me driving in the snow.. and if the storm comes early, I AM TO CLOSE AND LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. that's what happens when you work for your best friend's brother... just slightly protective! haha.

i see a SNOW DAY happening tomorrow. which is SOOOOOO exciting. i love snow days... even though i'm not in high school. but we have to remember that snow days in northern utah are only snow MORNINGS, and school is only delayed until the plows can get out and plow the parking lots... which everything usually gets cleared up around 9:30. kinda makes me wish i lived in south carolina where if they get even ONE CENTIMETER of snow, school is canceled because its "much too dangerous for anyone to be out" haha i find that HILARIOUS!!!!

well, since this is my post before thanksgiving,

I'M READY!!!!!

for him to be here already!!!

i am becoming so impatient. it feels like i still have FOREVER until he is born, which i absolutely HATE. i'm ready to hold him; everyone is saying,"you say that now... but just wait". well all i am waiting for is him to arrive healthy and happy in my arms and give me that look of "i love you, your my mother" that i give my mom sometimes. i can't wait for that moment, i'm ready for it.

i know i ONLY have like 65 days left, but that's two whole months. luckily i will have thanksgiving, christmas, new years, AND my birthday to help speed it up. but in the mean time i have made a list of "mom-like" things that i really want to do, and hopefully that will help more than the holiday season. so, here it is.

1. make a little baby quilt. i hate sewing, but i feel like it would be a nice gift to my baby boy, especially if it ends up being his FAVORITE blanket. :)
2. make my own UDDERCOVER. haha i love the name of these; they are nice little covers for breast feeding. my aunt ashleigh has one and she LOVES it, so hopefully it will work just as great for me! (more sewing... i know.)
3. go through all my belongings and DE-JUNK and ORGANIZE. i feel like i do this ALL THE TIME, but since me and the baby will be sharing a room, i really need to just detach myself from really silly things.
4. get in the habit of reading the scriptures and praying every night. this is something i want my son to ALWAYS remember me doing. i want him to know that even though i'm not perfect, i still love the gospel of christ soooo much. i want to be that example to him.
5. go on a daily walk. i LOVED being outside as a kid so i want him to have the experience of being outside playing every day like i did.
6. MAKE my sister's christmas present this year. she is turning her living room from blues to greens so i REALLY REALLY want to make something for her. i can't give anymore detail cause i know she reads this sometimes!
7. put together the family christmas card. thank goodness for photoshop skills i acquired in college... plus many trial and errors... i'm positive i can make a great one now!

and that's about it! doesn't seem like much, but for the procrastinator i am, it is! haha.

tuesday nights... :)

tuesday nights are my favorite nights.

yupp. it's true.

this is when i get to see some of my LOVELY high school girlies. which include turndawg, alexis, hales, rochelle, and kelsey nowers.

glee night is definitely my favorite night of the week. we get to laugh and enjoy the awkward moments in the show. and of course, have interesting, intense conversations after the show is over. i love love love it!!!

so thank you GLEE for bringing us GLEEKS together. :) you're the bomb.

outfit repeater?!

not me. not ever.

my mom told me it was pointless to purchase maternity clothes when i could wear my dad's and brother's clothing whenever i wanted. i told her heck no! and she told me to be an outfit repeater then. wear an outfit quite often.... more often than you would wear your FAVORITE outfit. i don't really remember ever doing this. chances are i have... but the way my laundry basket stacks up... i probably haven't.

lucky for me, i went through this phase about a year and a half ago where i was obsessed with buying shirts that were too big for me. i just had a super relaxed attitude about life at that point in time... and now, i am so thankful i did. so that i don't have to be an outfit repeater. icky.

the other nice part about getting big right now is that all my sweater dresses that i have, are now winter sweaters for this year. yay for last years fads! :D

i feel very lucky that i am still fitting into my two favorite pairs of pre-pregnancy jeans. this makes me UBER happy. cause i HATE maternity pants. no joke. they are not comfy at all. so i leave my pants unzipped, slip on my bellyband and i'm good to go. yay for me! we'll see how long this lasts. i am at TWENTY-NINE WEEKS so i'm crossing my fingers we make it through this month. :)

baby boy.

i've been getting weekly updates on what is going on in my belly since i found out i was pregnant. i love seeing what is growing and developing. it always makes me super happy and excited. this weeks update told me that my boy was going to be getting so big that there wasn't going to be as much room for him to move around anymore. i thought "YES!!" when i read this. now it's not so much that thought at all.

he HATES not having his space as i mentioned before. so i am constantly getting elbowed or kneed or both.. who really knows? it's really cool when he is pushing so hard against an area that i can see or actually touch where he is pushing. we have a little game i like to play where i will poke in a spot for a few seconds and he will respond. i love my little guy. :)

family.

my brother turned 18 on october 28th so we had both sides over for cake and ice cream! and let me tell you, it was SOOOOOOO great to see my entire family tonight. minus the four missionaries and my grandpa. but still. seeing my familia has always been a fresh breath of air for me. i can't wait till thanksgiving when we can all be together again. :)

my family has been the best support group EVER. i am crazy thankful for every kind and reassuring word they have given me. and most of all for just being there for me.

i'm always super tired so i feel bad when my little best friend/cousin wants to play and i have to deny his request. one day i will have the energy to run around with him again... guarantee that will be when my son is old enough to play with us. at least he knows i still love him all the same!
