Update

WOW, it's been a while (Halloween? That feels like a century ago.)

Blogs are for fun, (at least this one) so I'm not feeling guilty. Plus I've been writing in my journal often. And man, have I had a lot to write about!

Here's what I've been up to:

  1. My first craft show! The Beehive Bazaar is one of the best craft fairs in Utah, and I'm happy I got to be a part of it this year. I did very well for myself too! I made planners, notebooks, and vinyl record bowls. Next time I hope to add my magnets and magnet boards. I'm slacking on the Etsy store though (see side bar) Pictures coming soon.
  2. Thanksgiving. I made the sweet potatoes using a recipe from Williams-Sonoma, (which I cannot find on their website to link to), that is absolutely divine. I liked it better than the pumpkin pie! I'll add it to Our Family's Favorites, along with others, soon!
  3. Christmas in Idaho. We to to go to Idaho to see my family for Christmas. It was the best Christmas I've had since I was a kid because we were ALL there. I felt like I got to know my family better (especially my sister-in-laws) and we just had a great time. We went sledding at the sand dunes for Christmas Eve, then had dinner at Kevin and Mandie's. (She makes the best egg drop soup....silky ribbons of eggs, HOW!?!) And then Kevin narrated the nativity as we all played parts (including his kids) just like when we were kids. Then Christmas was at Mom and Dad's. I miss them all already.
  4. I'm pregnant! Starting my 10th week now. This is probably the biggest reason I've stopped blogging. Too busy sleeping, reading, journal writing and looking at cute nurseries online (in future posts to come) I'm probably due August 10th-12th. No Visit to the Dr. yet though. More news after January 29th.
  5. ABS Diet. Jake started the abs diet, and I thought it would be good and healthy for me as well. We've been exercising regularly and cooking more often. I like my food better ON this diet than I did OFF. Probably has to do with making a conscious effort to prepare a meal. I recently had the best chicken I've ever had in my life (again, I'll add this to Our Family's Favorites very soon)
  6. Looking for an apartment. And the good new is we may have found the one! It's only a block from Muse Music Cafe too! Cheaper than our last 1 bedroom apartment, and larger with 2 bedrooms. Hopefully it works out.
