Holy Guacamole

I just thought I would update you. You better sit down for this one... like I said before, my work posted the ad on Craigslist at 11:00 this morning. As of 4:00 this afternoon, 435 resumes have been received through email alone. And we asked them to please fax them, so we haven't even began counting those. I will give you a second to pick yourself up off the ground. Crazy times...

I had to call Trent for positive reinforcement again.

Reality Check

I have been so excited to retire from the professional world, but this morning my work did a posting on Craigslist to find a replacement for me come July 31st, and I'm kinda sad. My first feelings of reality were in the form of nostalgia. But then real life reality set in, within 10 minutes of the posting being up, 45 resumes through email alone had been received. Times are really tough right now, it scares me that I am willingly giving up a job that so many others are fighting for. And basing this decision on the assumption our brand new company will be successful. Am I sure I wanna do this? Yep, I'm pretty sure that had I only been going on maternity leave, as soon as I held my little baby, I would be announcing to anyone in the room, "I'm not going back to work."

It's Raining!! It's RAINING... that's right! here in Vegas!! But it is not just raining, it is pouring ginormous chunks of water! Mhuahahahha... I guess my naked dance around the fire worked! I have had to sit and listen to Utah people complain about rain for 2 weeks now and it just wasn't fair! Oh crap... it stopped.

I feel like I'm talking to myself.

That is until I checked our hit counter and saw that we have gotten 655 hits this month, No, wait, it just went to 657. I never really cared about people leaving comments but I guess that is cause I actually used to get some. I guess me doing more posts has made this blog a lot more boring. Come on, people, validate me. I know you're there cause it just went up to 659.

Father's Day

Yesterday, I was mostly excited to celebrate my husband and his one and only "Father to be Day". He got breakfast in bed and his favorite steak sandwhich for lunch (courtesy of The Pioneer Woman). We had dinner at my families house, which we actually do every Sunday night.

Trent is so excited to have a baby girl. He always points baby girls out to me when he sees them and how cute they are. And he seems to appreciate how important accesories are, he loves it when they have the huge flower headbands on! He tells me all the little things he is excited for, like bringing her home a balloon when she isn't feeling well. He is gonna love her so much, we know she will be our little princess.

Thing to Love

• Date night
• Ice cream... oh I can't get enough ice cream, I eat it pretty much everyday.
• Fridays
• Fedex tracking numbers (I know this is a lame one, but I still love that I can track my package when I buy stuff online)
• Babygap
• Sno cones
• Home consignment center. I need to post a picture of the awesome purchase Trent and I just made there!
• Divine inspiration

Why I love Trent: He is so caring. I have been sick this week with a cold and he has asked me about a million times how I'm doing. It's always the same answer, "I'm fine" but he is always so worried about me and my happiness. He is so selfless and concerned for me about everything all the time and I hope he knows I care about him just as much!

I'm only doing this cause I have to

I have an excuse

The internet at work AND at home has only been working on and off... that's why I couldn't blog yesterday! And I am going to count this post as todays, I hope you don't feel jipped, cause I would.

San Francisco

Trent and I dropped by San Francisco this weekend. We stayed the night in Union Square. We saw Lombard Street, "the crookedest street anywhere"We visited Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square. We checked out the Palace of Fine Arts and crossed the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. Our own hotel charged us $51 to park for the night, which was more than half what the room cost. I got to eat Thai Food, but sadly, no seafood... I am still regretting that. We rode a streetcar and a cable car. Trent got a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign that he actually did stop at. We can't figure it out... don't ask, we're mad. We saw the Oakland temple and Alcatraz. Overall, we got a lot done for only being there half a day. I would say Trent's favorite part was picking out all the people he thought were gay, even if they were holding hands with someone of the opposite sex. "If they weren't straight, they would be gay." There were rainbow flags hanging on all the lampposts downtown. I hope we get to go back again cause there are a few more things I wanna do.

Saved by the Bell

I saw this on a friends blog and couldn't resist... if you were a "Saved by the Bell" fan, you will appreciate this!

serendipity

Have you ever heard of Serendipity? It is that cute little cafe that is crazy famous in NYC? and famous for its Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate? I always wanted to go. I have always said to myself, "Self, if we ever go to NYC, we are going to Serendipity." (Sometimes I call myself "self" sometimes I call myself, "Precious") So yesterday I was at the doctors office forever doing the glucose test and reading a magazine, where I read that they installed a Serendipity restaurant at Ceasars Palace! Now I never have to go to NYC! So that is what Trent and I did last night... fulfilled lifelong dreams I mean. and the verdict, you ask? I'm pretty sure the mix they use for their Frrrrrozen Hot Chocolate is Slimfast.

I am dreaming

of a very special nursery:

with this chandelier

bedding made out of this fabric

this crib

this changing table

and the best part is this rocking chair, where a special little baby will be rocked to sleep...

a list.

Entitled: Everything On My Mind Today

• Baby stuff, i.e. ordering fabric for her bedding, paint colors, good deals on clothes etc.
• Getting the new truck insured
• Getting the new truck registered
• Finding a good deal for a little staycation babymoon for me and my boyfriend, who is also my husband in case you were wondering.
• Our quick business trip to San Francisco this weekend
• My maternity dress I ordered from Shabby Apple that I am so excited to get
• Finding a photographer that does the style of photos I like (do you know anyone in Vegas that takes "modern vintage" photography?)
• Sour stomach... ugh.
• And many more...

Mother Nature

Tonight, Trent and I are enjoying sleeping with the window open. Since Friday, the weather here has been lovely... and I never use that word. (Although I wish I talked all pretty like that) But there is no other adjective to describe it. It has been in the 70's with a breeze each day, and I couldn't have been more greatful than today. I am really understanding what other moms meant now when they have taken pity on me for being pregnant through the summer. In church today, it was so hot I thought I was gonna pass out, my heart was pounding and I felt nauseous. I sat out on the grass during Sunday school and just enjoyed the perfect weather, apart from missing the sound of the ocean and the humidity, I felt like I was somewhere on the California coast. It has been so wonderful. And I never use that word either.

29 weeks

It's Official

The bank called yesterday to let us know they are going to "fund". It seems too good to be true! We are so excited and although we have actively been trying to establish this business for only 6 months, it has been something Trent has wanted to do since before we even got married so it has kinda been a long road. We are just so lucky that everything is coming together for us. Trent and I have both wondered multiple times why we are so blessed when everyone around us (especially in Vegas, and in our own ward) are going through such hardships, particularly financially. What are we doing right? Or is our time just not here yet? There has gotta be a catch!

So, next weekend we will be driving to Sacramento to pick up the pressure washer Trent is buying... I can't wait to be stuck in a car with him for 20 hours in one weekend, and NO, that wasn't sarcastic.

I think now is an appropriate time to commence the count down to retirement for me (or at least count down til I switch occupations, right? 56 Days to go)

Stay tuned tomorrow for a 29 week baby bump...but only if you want to.

Why I love Trent

The other day we were sitting at the kitchen table eating right out of the tub of ice cream. Trent took a bite then, Lady in the Tramp style, nudged it back over to me with his nose. It is times like this that I think he is especially so cute and innocent. I just love him.

Stumped

This is sad. It is Day 3 and I am already drawing a blank. No, that's not true. I can think of things to blog about but then I think, that's dumb. Nothing I come up I feel will interest anybody but myself. Here is one thing that at least my mother in law will find interesting:

I had a doctor appointment today and everything looks good. My uterus is measuring a little above average but still (dang it) in the normal range. blah. which means no moving up the due date.

Little girl seems to be doing great! Oh, and I have graduated to the "have an appt every 2 weeks" group. This was actually the first appointment I have had where my doctor didn't do an ultrasound... sad, huh. Although, I know I am really lucky that she does one every time!

Anyways, I can't get enough of these:

But we don't have them in Vegas :( One day I will have a garden FULL of them. But, we do have these: as Trent calls them, "Dr. Seuss flowers" but they are actually Mexican bird of paradise.

** FYI, I did type this yesterday but forgot to post... so it still counts right?

Granola Bars and M&M's

We've always been a one car family... until now that is! Ever since we got married Trent has had a work truck so we have never really felt the NEED to buy another one, although another one would have been nice a few times. Anyway... we made this little purchase for the business yesterday: Let's all welcome Goldy to the family, or maybe we will call her Trucky?... there is NO END to the Posssssibilities.

Can I really do it?

I have decided to try and blog every single day of June... I have just been lazy lately with the posts. Also, then maybe every blog won't be about being pregnant. It's just that the other stuff I used to blog about doesn't seem so important anymore.
But I do have one question:

Should I be attending a Lamaze class or should I sign up for one?

Please tell me if you did or didn't take one and if you think it made a difference.

Also, if you have any suggestions as to what to I should blog about, or what you would like to hear more of, let me know.
