ConGRADulations, David!

It's official--David is now a man with a degree! He got his BS in Physics...now on to his Master's. He'll continue to go to BYU, but at least now he has more than just his incredible genius to show for the past few years in school. :)We call this his studious look. :)

Pregnant and Tired and the Funniness of "Words of Wisdom"

So since I've been pregnant, there's always at least one point in the afternoon when all I can think about is how exhausted I am and how much I would love to just lay down. In those moments, all I want to do is let the world know I'm tired...Facebook, Twitter, blog. (Ok, ok, this IS one of those moments.) It makes me laugh at the response I get. Well-meaning friends just can't help but give you their experienced words of wisdom: "Oh, you think you're tired now? Just wait until you have the baby!" "Oh yeah, get all the sleep you can now, because once that baby comes, you'll want it."

I can't help but laugh (on the good days) and cry (on the bad ones).

Oh yes, they speak the truth. And why shouldn't they pass their words of wisdom along? After all, they've been pregnant before, and I haven't.

But when I'm tired, so tired, and I can't go get "as much sleep as I can," because I'm a student and I have a job...Surprisingly, telling me that I'm going to be even more exhausted when I'm already feeling extremely exhausted doesn't make me feel any better. Shocker, huh? :)

My Little Brother Got Married!

Gregg & Jackie, married June 25, 2009.

I got to go to GA last weekend for my little bro's wedding. I was silly and didn't take any pics, but here are a couple that the photographer took. Hopefully I'll get more later. I know I took a good one with my brother!

I love this one of me, my dad, and my sis Abbie.

I HOME!!

I'm back in Utah for an extended weekend. It's so fun being home. And I find it really interesting how many things I took for granted. Like holding hands with Karen. It was just something we always did. Then I was gone for three weeks. And now that I'm back I realize how comforting it is to hold her hand and be able to give her a hug.

It's so good to be home.

Yikes

Would you believe me if I told you these are made for kids 0-6 months? High heels for infants? Weird...and slightly creepy...and definitely tacky (no offense if you think they're cute).

We need something new on this here blog!

Okay so life hasn't been too interesting lately. I mean, would your life be fun if your husband was gone and you were just sitting around being a lazy preggo bum all day? No, I think not. ;) But little exciting things....

1. David's gonna be home this weekend! Yay!

2. My best friend Shellie is coming out this weekend! Yay again!

3. I got a new phone. The battery on my old one would last for 20 minutes, even after being plugged in all night. My new one is cute :)

4. I only have a month left of summer term.

5. The 1st trimester nausea is going away. (Hallellujah!)
