Trip to Southern Alberta

One of my good friends Sami, went through the temple

last week for the first time

(she is getting married in June).

So Molly and I set out on an

adventure to be there for her.

So glad we did.

When we left Wednesday morning it was recommended by a couple of people that

I should maybe wait and of course

I didn't listen

These pictures are what I was confronted with once I hit Medicine Hat

Yes that is the yellow line,

and yes that is me driving on the wrong side of it.

Needless to say it was a little crazy

But we made it

Six hours without a peep from my 8 month old

made concentrating on the roads very easy.

Thursday night I made it to the temple to support Sami

A few of my old roommates came as well.

I lived with these girls

during some of the most trialing times in my life

and there we were all together

all making the choices in life to be there.

In other words I love them and it was just a really nice experience.

The Beautiful bride and her handsome future husband

Little Comedian

Imagine, your sitting on a couch.

You look over and see three of your favorite people cuddling.

You think to yourself "oh that would be a cute picture"

You grab your camera.

Stand up, to capture this sweet little moment

you say to them

"Say Cheese"

and this is what you get

Gee... I wonder if this girls mother ever makes her sit in front of a camera?

Strawberries Anyone?

They are not the kind of strawberries you eat, but the kind of strawberries that grow on you.

So Molly girl was born with 2 strawberry hemangiomas.

They are a kind of birth mark that grow very big and very rapidly.

The one on the back of her leg is GINORMOUS, and pretty much hasn't changed since the day she was born.

But the one on her head started out teeny tiny infact I thought it was a bruise from the probe they put on her head to measure her heart rate.

It wasn't

The good thing about these little strawberries is that they go away.

The one on her head is really starting to go away, but that one I don't really care about anyways cause her hair will cover it. Well when she gets hair, it will cover it.

Anyways this post is really for me.

I thought I should document it just incase I forget one day that she had them.

TIMMY

So me and one of my good friends Laura went to Tim McGraw a week ago. Now to say that I may have a slight crush on this human being may be a slight understatement.

I asked Dane when I got home that if I were to get a body like Faith Hill, If he wouldn't mind getting a body like Tim McGraw.

I don't have the picture of his backside Laura does, but it was pretty cute.

Besides his body and musical talent there were some other upsides to this night for instance

Freshly squeezed lemonade, yup what's a concert without freshly squeezed lemonade?

Mini Donuts, who goes to an arena and doesn't buy mini donuts? Well not me and Laura

Tim felt the need to introduce himself

"Hi, I'm Tim McGraw"

Laura thought she should tell him that she knew, ok she screamed that she knew.

hahaha

Tim also asked me if I liked the HONKY TONK, even though there were alot of other people there I really do feel like he was asking me haha

I let him know that I loved the honky tonk, really loud.

Tim also forgot the words to one of his songs, HYSTERICAL.

That was a first for me

So fun Laura, thanks. Next adventure for us VEGAS BABY

Being a Mother

Lots of people ask me how I am doing adjusting to motherhood. I always reply that its "No biggie" or "Really hasn't been that big of adjustment." But I guess that isn't true cause my whole life changed when I had Molly. Before I had her I suffered big time from anxiety attacks, and they were really quite crippling. I had them allot before I got married, afterwards I had them just not as frequently, but not one since I've had Molly. Therefore I hypothesize motherhood is my calling.

We went to Phoenix with Danes family a few weeks ago, and i bought a umbrella stroller for Molly. Now this might sound a little silly, I have an awesome stroller at home for her. But there was this sentimental feeling I got when I bought this one. My whole life I had pushed nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends babies in these measly 15$ strollers but never my own. My dream came true in Phoenix. It may seem small and in significant but it wasn't for me. I really was overwhelmed with the experience. I love this little girl more then I can even express and I get to love her dad even more cause he gave me her.

Getting Started

I have been contemplating starting a blog for some time now.

It just never seemed to be the right time.

Dane always had the laptop with him at school, and since that was the only computer

we had, it never worked out.

Needless to say he was a computer hog.

BUT now a dear friend of ours has lent their computer to us until we get our own desktop.

So now I am here. Blogging.

With nothing to say (haha), which is truly odd for me.

I usually always have something to say
