Birthday Confessional

Today. I. Am. 25. Years Old.

Okay, so I am one of those people that no matter how freaked out I am about the number, I still wake up at 6:00am on my birthday, so excited that it has finally come that I can't go back to sleep. I mentally count down the days leading up to it, knowing that nobody will really be as excited as I am. Even though everyone tells you 'Happy Birthday' when they first see you that day, I think about it all day long. I see people and think, oh yeah, and did you know, today is MY birthday! Sad, isn't it? To make matters worse, I have the memory of an elephant. I love getting presents, any shape or size. My mom has taught me to be ever so grateful. When someone gives you a gift, you don't just say, oh thanks and move on. You ooh and ahh over it, and bring it up again, saying, OH I JUST LOVE what you got me. I can't WAIT to use it. And because I love this day so much, items have names in my mind, such as 'the slippers Devanie got my for my birthday last year' or 'the purse from my mom'. And I think that every time I use these items. Weird right?

This year I got to be pampered. Mick took me to the most beautiful spa I have ever seen and I got a massage. It was wonderful. The room was 'themed' egyptian and of course I was distracted looking at how they built the cool pillars that look like concrete but really are made of foam. I touched them to make sure. But the best part is feeling myself relax. That NEVER happens. So thanks Mick for getting my exactly what I needed. You are the best!

Bump @ 24 Weeks

Not much is going on here, belly keeps getting bigger, I am getting more uncomfortable. The baby is a Johnson, and likes the taste of Frank's Hot Sauce. I had some last night and for the first time I have felt him kick from the outside. I made Mick feel the kicks, he just asks - "what did you feed that kid?" Every time I have hot sauce he goes CRAZY.

Work is going good, I have decided my last day is February 27th. Other than that, I am counting down for a few things. My birthday (yes, I am still so excited that I count the days every year), Barrett getting home from his mission, going to Dominican Republic, Christmas, and having a break from working! YAY!

Blog Stalking

I reached a new low with blog stalking. I found a girls blog who happens to be a family members cousin. Her blog was so entertaining, so I found myself reading it all the time. Well I reached a new low the other day when I realized I was so emotional about this blog. You see, she was told she wouldn't be able to have kids, and had adopted the cutest little boy. Now she found out she is pregnant and just couldn't believe it. Not only did this hit home and sound like COMPLETE Déjà vu, I was so excited for her it was all I could think about all afternoon. HELLO, she has no idea who I am, we have never met, I just read her blog. My life is getting pathetic.

BUMP

So everyone keeps commenting on how I look so pregnant all of a sudden, and I didn't want to miss moment in photos (these are more for me, but look on if you must). I made everyone take a few shots because I was so shocked as to how big I am looking. (This is the bump at 22 weeks)

I went out and bought maternity pants last week. Talk about a mentally stressful moment. Depressing in that all the pants fit everywhere except they are way too big in the stomach, odd because they are MATERNITY pants. HELLO, that is where I should need the space, but NOT THAT MUCH! Eventually, I am sure I will love it and will need them that big. I can also finally feel him kick. It is so weird feeling. Not much is new...

Halloween Party

We had a halloween party this weekend, and it was awesome. I thought Brandon's costume was Soooo perfect for him! I loved it.Bree is an amazing event planner who threw an awesome halloween party. We played the murder mystery game and carved pumpkins. Here they are as Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Everybody dressed up. Mick is a wrestler, me a pink lady, Brandon and Bree, and Sarah and Denton were Wolverine and Phoenix from X-Men. So Fun!

And here is our pumkins we carved. Were are all pretty talented once we have the stencils from the book!
