Getaway

One more month until I am back in Idaho! Besides seeing all of my family, I think I am more excited for my momma's cooking. There is nothing else like dinner at my parents house. The food is always amazing and the atmosphere is loud and crazy. You have no idea how much I miss the craziness. My house is way too quiet. I can't wait to see all my nephews and nieces. It's crazy how much they change in only a couple of months. Overall I am just excited to go home. I love running away to Idaho. It's a nice getaway from the city life. We have a lot of fun things planned while I am home. My sister's wedding, going to Bear Lake to our cabin, and baby shopping. Come to think of it, this is my first summer not going to the lake since I was little. It's really sad but I am glad we get to go for a couple days while we are there. Hopefully July goes by quick because I am ready to go home and see family. Best thing in the world.

Happy 4th!

Happy independence day everyone! I love the fourth of July. BBQ, family, and fireworks. It doesn't get much better then that. This year is very different for me. I'm used to being home and going to the Dayton parade and camping out on the lawn near Utah State to watch the fireworks with the fam. Today I will be enjoying fireworks on the beach and grilling with the hubby. :) There are a lot of activities going on in the area. I am anxious for Andrew to get home from work so I can go enjoy them. There is nothing better then carnival food. Caramel apples, funnels cakes, and cotton candy. My mouth is just watering from the thought of all the food I will be enjoying tonight. Probably not the wisest of all choices to go eat all that greasy food with a stomach that can't seem to make up its mind, but I am willing to risk it. I am looking forward to the fireworks the most tonight. Cuddled up next to hubs on the beach. We even bought our own fireworks so after the show is done, we get to light off ours. Its going to be a fun filled night. I hope everyone has a fun safe 4th.

One down, two more to go!

I have been neglecting my blog lately. I can't use the excuse of being busy because I haven't. I had to quit my job with West Marine because working around the cleaners and battery acid is harmful to the baby. My life consists of staying at home and being a good wife to my husband. I am finally in my second trimester. I am not as sick as I used to be. I still have my bad days but being sick is a good sign so I'm not complaining. My pants are getting tighter and I cannot stand wearing jeans. Leggings are my new best friends. They are comfy and classy. I can wear them throughout my whole pregnancy so that is a plus. I keep putting off maternity clothes. I need to get a couple pair of jeans but that can wait for a couple more weeks. Well I probably should stop procrastinating and go grocery shopping. I feel really good today so I probably shouldn't waste it sitting around all day. Days like these seem hard to come by now a days.
