A week in review

Lets just start out with yesterday afternoon.  I was unloading groceries into the back of the car and JD was sitting in the cart still.  He decided to try and grab the other carts next to his and managed to dump himself out of the shopping cart and head first onto the asphalt in the [...]

Temple Trip Tuesday

This morning we loaded up all JD’s stuff in the car and decided to go to Temple Square for lunch with him before we dropped him off with my cousins Nicola and Kelly. The flowers were simply breathtaking and it was a beautiful day to walk around. We ate at the Lion House [...]

LDS or FLDS

I know I have many friends that read this blog that are not “Mormon” or part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints like I am.  I would hope that I’ve been open enough that if they ever felt the need to email or call me when they have questions they would.  However [...]

Church, Finally

I haven’t been to church since before JD was born, and even then it was only for an hour or so.  Today I went to church, and it was great!  Jeremy and I got there a bit late, we are still trying to get used to getting ourselves and JD ready and out the door [...]

Lookin Fly

JD went to church for the first time yesterday.  I was asleep and Jer decided not to wake me since I’d been up all night.  I was sad I missed his first day but it was so nice to be able to sleep a bit.  Jeremy said he just slept in his car seat the [...]

Catchin Up

Sunday: JD was blessed on Sunday.  My nephew “cheeks” (Michael) was also blessed on Sunday.  They did it at my parents ward, but since JD can’t go to church yet we blessed him at home after.  I tried to find him a cute little white outfit however after 2 days of tears and having to return anything [...]

Update and Testimony

I’ve been a slacker with blogging recently.  I’m sure anyone out there who’s had a newborn will understand why.  JD is wonderful but the doctor was having us feed him every 2 hours for a while and WOW, that’s a lot of feeding time.  I have to say that Tivo is a nursing mothers dream.  [...]

Enjoy the Rest?

Jeremy laughs every time he hears someone tell me to enjoy the rest or sleep I’m getting while JD is in the NICU.  I will be honest, I can sleep much more comfortably now than I have been able to for months, however the longest stretch of sleep I’ve had since I was induced was [...]

A Very Important List

Once a year or so I post the following list on my blog. I have a history of some different kinds of abuse and so when I have friends or family looking for advice I always dig up this list again. I wish I’d seen it before my first marriage, I’m not sure [...]

Stake Conference and SNL?

My aunt sent an email around about an unusual Saturday evening session of stake conference.  Apparently they Stake Presidency is pretty high tech and often use things like power point presentations during their talks.  This is what they viewed this time around:

How perfect is that!  While we laugh at how the [...]
