Just Keep Swimming.

My daily visits to the on base pool are the only reason 

I'm surviving this Oklahoma summer.

Well that and my weekly "Bachelorette" party. 

It's a hard life I've got here...

I'll meet you in Utah.

My trip home has been lovely so far. 

Jake was able to fly into Utah Saturday for his first cross country flight.

We were incredibly lucky to have been there at the same time.

I was able to shop at the new City Creek with my bestie and 

attend Alexa's wedding at Red Butte Gardens.

We spent some time with the Kearns playing games 

and eating sweet pork burritos.

It was a short, jam-packed visit, but so much fun!

I miss our days in Utah very much...   sigh.

lately...

I've been taking lots of instagram photos lately...

This week has had a sloow start. 

Jake and I really enjoyed his day off yesterday. 

We slept in, ate donuts and orange julius,

babysat Ray, and went to see Sherlock Holmes.

Lately I've felt like I'm in a rut. It could be the lack of employment,

friends, productivity, this irritating cold... you name it, but I finally broke down 

and emailed the theatre here in town about wanting to help out with their productions.

I wasn't feeling too hopeful, but I received a voice mail from the box office manager

letting me know that they need help with costuming!

So I'm going in tonight to help out, and I must say I'm a little bit nervous...

It's not like I'm getting paid, but I afraid of failing them somehow.

I am not a seamstress... 

Either way, it should be an exciting experience. 

Hopefully I'll enjoy it and stay with them for a while!

Maizey goes in to get spayed tomorrow.

Poor girl. I'm feeling a little guilty about it..

taking away her working vagina. 

But I just can't handle the breeding. Not for me.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend... thanks for keeping up with our blog

and commenting. It feels like my one connection to the outside world.

lonely and bored

 How to throw the perfect pity party:

Get yourself some Girl Scout cookies. Samoas if possible.

Then scarf down a couple fruit snacks, some sweet tarts 

and maybe some cookies and cream ice cream.

Turn on some Vampire Diaries and cuddle with a cute puppy.

Happy Moping!

 Naughty Girl in jail. This barking is driving me insane.

Who I'm missing tonight. 

friends and family

Are the best part of Christmas.

puppies and babies are nice too :)

Please have snow and mistletoe...

 

Made it to Idaho! 

Barely. 

Have I mentioned how much I hate traveling? Because I do. 

 I loath it in every way. 

Car, plane, overnight train... I've done it all.

And life would just be so much easier if I could transport

my body to anywhere I wanted to go.

Wouldn't that be lovely?

Happy Birthday to my name twin. My sister.

She's gorgeous. She's got wicked style, and awesome bangs.

Love you Cordy!

I also love this little babe. 

Her mom and I had a fantastic afternoon introducing

Reagan to her first H&M shopping experience. 

She was a champ.

Ulcers and Shingles

This weekend was Craaazy busy. It started off at Firehouse, my fav Logan restaurant, for once last Barbecue Chicken Pizza. That led us to the hospital the next day to find out that I have an ulcer. Big Surprise. Then we headed to IF for our last visit, which led me to my favorite bath tub in the world. 

I mean seriously. Doesn't that look heavenly?

Then Momma cut off all of Jakey's long hair... but don't worry, he kept the beard.

Then we went to Brigham for the day where we had delicious Maddox rolls and handsome Morrison men.

We went swimming and showed off our diving skills.

 And noodle riding... 

And that golfer's tan...

Ya, we had a lot of fun. 

Finally, it was back to IF for Reg a Peg's baby blessing. She was adorable in her vintage inspired gown and handmade flower headband. Most importantly, the Trifecta was able to reunite for another chapter in our rapidly changing lives.

 So I'm in love...

 Jake is too...

My bestie Ally Doman is now a proud momma. Her little girl is so sweet! I'll be so sad to leave her tomorrow...

Baby Time

I loveee slow weekends. I keep thinking it's Sunday but it's not! I have a full day of napping, reading and relaxing left. Today's highlight? Time with Tucker... He's so full of personality:) I am so excited to have one of my own someday.

I mean really, could he be any cuter..?

Baby Jake

Here comes the cold again... temps are dropping and snow is falling this week. And I have a small case of the Monday blues. It's just one of those average weeks where nothing big is happening, just mind numbing school and bone chilling weather :) But I'm determined to make it fantastic. I will go to the gym, I will eat healthier, I will not procrastinate. And anytime my spirits start to sink, I will look at this picture.... 

Lil Doman

It's a... girl! I knew it. Ally, my best friend, allowed me to sit in via speaker phone on her appointment this morning. I wanted to be there sooo bad, but at least this way I knew what they were having exactly when they did. Because I'm needy like that, and I am the third member of their relationship. Always have been, always will be :) Ohh summer please come sooner... I can't wait to meet the little pretty! Oh, and I'm already planning the baby shower, so friends of Al, keep your calenders open around the middle to end of May! Yay babies!

Least favorite part of the day: watching Jake vomit twice in one evening. It was the worst night ever. I just hope it was something he ate and not the flu....

Little Tucker Troy

Last night I was finally able to meet my little cousin Tucker. After thirty hours of grueling labor and many nights in the nicu, he was able to go home. I love little babies! I can't wait to have my own SOMEDAY. It'll be great. Names I love...? Graham, Nora, Tristan, Willow (Lo for short), Quinn... yeah they are different, but I love it. That might be the order I want them too. Because my obsessive personality leads to me believe that I can control such things :)

Favorite thing that happened today: dinner at Kamin with Zella and Jess
