Meh

I've been feeling very unaccomplished and now I feel very stuck.





It's really bringing me down.




*Sigh*

Kick, jab, poke.

A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.

A playful kick. I like that. I LOVE feeling bb moving around inside. Even though his favorite time to let me know he is there is right as I'm relaxing to go to sleep, I still love it. He is going crazy as I'm typing this right now. Silly boy. I wonder what in the world he is doing. It's so funny when he gets in a weird position and my belly looks all lumpy or lopsided. It's fun feeling kicks and jabs in new places too. My bladder not so much though and as he is getting bigger it's starting to hurt. Still, I love it. I'll never get used to it. Keep dancing in there baby boy. Mama loves it.



This was funny to me too...

The 3 C's

Rob and I were very blessed to be able to take temple prep/marriage prep last year before we got married. They always do temple prep but Rob didn't need it being a returned missionary and what not. It was really fun because we did it an amazing couple's house that we know. They were the perfect teachers. It was also great because I was really good friends with their daughter in high school and I knew them really well and had been to their house for sleep overs and parties many times. Rob also knew them from serving in the ward. What was so great about it was that they made it more then just temple prep. They made it marriage prep as well. One of the things the brother taught us was "The 3 C's." When he brought it up his wife sort of rolled her eyes, like "here we go again." But I am so grateful he taught them to us. The 3 C's are, -Don't complain, compare or criticize. I often find these 3 things popping into my head when Rob and I are having an argument. It doesn't do us any good to complain or criticize or compare each other. I've found that remembering those things helps me communicate better and not say things I'll regret later. I'm so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge and blessing we have because of it. I'm grateful that Brother and Sister G we're called to teach temple prep. I love the temple and the spirit and peace that is felt there. I love the peace it brings into our home after returning from the temple. I'm so grateful for my loving husband and everything he does for our little family. It can get kinda crazy and stressful at times but I love it and wouldn't change it for anything.

Let me see your grill

For our anniversary Rob's parents gave us a gift certificate to Home Depot. (Thanks mom & Dad G!!) We were very excited and decided to use it to by a charcoal grill. It's been so fun having it! Rob has grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and last weekend he mae bbq ribs. YUM! My favorite part about it is that we can make smores :) mmmm
