Adult Truths

1. It's part of a best friend's job to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. Napping is the greatest gift in life. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make for good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection yet again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and a message appears asking me if I want to save changes to my ten-page technical report when I know I didn't make any.
14. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" route option.
15. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
16. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear a word they said?
17. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong brothers and sisters!
18. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
19. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
20. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and pinning the tail on the donkey. So, don't you find it remarkable that we find the snooze button from 3 feet away, in 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

I found this post on a friend's blog. I thought these "Adult Truths" were too funny not to pass along.

What Life is All About

Home Owners

Scott and I are so close to owning! We've been waiting all day for our loan officer to call, so we can close.

Keep your fingers crossed! We're more than ready to start calling this beauty our home.

My Valentine

I am blessed to call this man my valentine. Every day I get to spend with him is a dream come true.

Happy Valentine's Day babe! I love you.

Happy Valentine's Day

Pitiful

I've become one of those pitiful married people. The one that pouts and gets grouchy when her husband has something better to do than hang with his wife all day.

Scott's spending the day replacing the axel on his trailor so we can use it to move. Meanwhile, I'm at home pouting that it's been six hours since I've seen him. I could be productive and pack to help pass the time. Nope. Why be productive? Blogging about missing my husband makes much more sense.

See what I mean. Totally pitiful.

First Comes Love, Then Marriage, Then....

I am a horrible blogger. It's been so long! I have so many things to post about, but I'll just give you the highlights in the 2.5 minutes I have to spare for blogging.

First, we're having a baby boy. Scott Mitchell is due July 16. I am so excited, I can hardly wait. I have dreams about my little guy all the time. I can't wait until he's here, so I can cuddle him 24/7.

Thus far, pregnancy has been a challenge. I remember my mom saying as I was growing up how good she felt while she was pregnant. Her exact words were, "I never felt better." Well, I am almost half way through my pregnancy and that is definitely not the case. There is nothing fun about throwing up 5 + times a day for four and a half months! My doctor has prescribed two different anti-nausea medicines and both have been failures (one didn't work and I was allergic to the other). At least I can say pregnancy isn't making me fat! For now, that is.

I'm pretty sure pregnancy has turned me into a child. I whine, throw fits, eat, throw up and sleep. I really have no idea how Scott puts up with me. Good thing he had a few months of normal me before pregnant me appeared. Otherwise, he might be running for the hills.

In other news, Scott and I are moving to Clearfield. We bought a new house, and we're moving in next weekend if everything goes as planned. We're sad to leave Salt Lake City (well, I'm sad), but we're excited to have a home of our own before baby arrives.

That's it for now. After we settle in, I'll try to be more timely with updates.
