3 Months & Counting...

We made it to our 3 month mark, hurray! We celebrated by doing what everyone does here in San Antonio- we ate! We went to J. Alexander's at the Quarry and it was fabulous. The most exciting part though was that I discovered a new way to style my hair for the event. :) jk, Brent's the best part. We have truly grown so much as a couple. It's hard for me to imagine my life without him...weird. Though I can imagine life without all the extra laundry and dishes!

Ok, ok, that's enough gushy-mushy stuff.

There hasn't really been a lot going on lately...at least not with me. I have a million 'projects' I want to start on, but have yet to. I'm still in the brainstorming phase...trying to decide where to begin. That tends to be a fault of mine. I have SOO much I want to do that I can't decide what to do first. Then I overwhelm myself and then nothing gets done. I think I'm really close to making a decision....I can feel the progress on the horizon.

Brent on the other hand, has his time already spent. Between working full-time--which sometimes includes overtime--and his Chemistry II class he barely has time to eat and sleep. He usually makes it to bed, if he's lucky by 12am, though sometimes not until 2-3am. He's been working really hard though and it seems to be paying off. He made a 98 on his first exam! I'm so proud of his discipline...last Saturday he spent ALL day studying so he wouldn't have to on Sunday while my sister and I shopped. Such a trooper.

The most exciting news currently is....we're expecting!! Well, we're looking for a PUPPY!!! And I EXPECT to get one soon. I was raised with dogs...several dogs. Brent says he likes dogs, but we do not have the same ideas about what place a dog holds in the home. Nevertheless, Brent has agreed to 2...though we'll start with just one for now. So I figure it's time to get started. He has to devote so much time to work and school that I can now afford to devote time to someone else. We (aka me) have just begun the search for the perfect addition to our family so it's hard to say when we'll make our purchase. (See above for indecisiveness issues.)

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

...& Then There Were Three

She's arrived! Brynlynn Olivia Shannon (finally) made her entrance on Feb. 15 at 10:14 am! Here's her story... Her initial due date was 2/13 (though her size indicated 2/06). Thinking I could use my mother as a good reference point for my pregnancy, I suspected she too would come early (I was about 4-5 weeks early and my sister 2-3 weeks). Wrong. Thus, when my 40 week check-up rolled around, still no baby and my cervix was no more prepared to deliver a baby than it was at 6 weeks, the Dr. wanted to discuss inducing labor. Even though I was eager to meet her and have my body to myself again, I was apprehensive about this process...you hear the horror stories of the women that elect to induce have a 35 hour labor that ends with a c-section despite their earlier efforts. We, however, prayed about the process, and knew that my body would likely need a little 'boost' since (as previously mentioned) my cervix didn't get the memo about my due date. The date was set: we...
