Getting Fat

Image
By
Oh, but with such a good purpose!

Don't think you are going to see too many of this kind of picture.
Me and my "ready to pop" sister. In this picture Dana is 39 & I'm  26 weeks.

 Even though I knew a part of being pregnant was to gain a bit a weight and everyone talks about your growing belly. I didn't realize how hard it would be for me to look at myself in the mirror and be okay with having my stomach getting bigger and bigger. It's weird. You live your whole life trying to have a flat stomach and now it's okay to let it "all hang out". It's just something I didn't think I would struggle with.
Oh well. The price we pay to one day hold that bundle of joy in your arms.

At lest for the most part, the weight is centralized! There are some tips to getting yourself back into your old jeans fast, so let me know if you're interested in knowing them :0) Hopefully this kid will come sometime this week!?! I'm so glad you're going to be coming up w/ mom.

Playlist Fun

By
I thought this would be a cool idea, and a chance for me to brag about how awesome we are ;) I decided to create a playlist that only had bands on it that either Jena or I (or both) have seen in concert. So you are now listening to this playlist. Here is a little information to go along with the playlist: It only includes bands that we wanted to see, it doesn't include opening bands (unless we really liked them). You will notice that there is more than 1 song for a few of the bands. This reflects how many times we have seen them live. (Yes, I have seen Red Hot Chili Peppers 3 times, and I will see them again if I have the chance.) I refused to include songs from 2 of the concerts that Jena has been to, for personal reasons. These concerts are Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks. The first concert I ever went to was in 8th grade and it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. You know, from Led Zeppelin. I took my dad to see Deep Purple for Father's Day a few years back. Smoke on the Wate...

Not only Utah, but our old hometown. **** Before we moved back to Utah, we visited family in Utah for Thanksgiving. Creating hand turkeys with Mema for thanksgiving. Jordis was quite positive that we couldn't see her. Barber Family Photo! I think he's pretty handsome... Boy band shot. All the grand kids.  We made candy sleds to race at GG's house with some of Jordis' cousins.  ****    We frequently head to the Harley store as a form of entertainment. Jordis could ride on this rocking  Harley all day. Notice that she HAS to wear gloves while riding. We had one last get together with some of our really good friends in Twin before we left. Visiting someones house that they decorate their entire yard and ...
