Brent: Here's to the Big 33!

I dedicate this blog entry to Brent! Yesterday we celebrated his 33rd birthday with friends and our little family. It wasn't a big ordeal, I'm sure he's had much more eventful birthdays in the past, but we had a good time. We took Brynlynn to the mall to walk around (of course she was carseat/stroller bound). We then enjoyed some time with friends at the Cheesecake Factory, one of Brent's all time favorites, and the Dr. Pepper flowed freely!

Brent, though he will humbly deny all of this, is such an amazing husband and dad. I can't adequately express all that he means to me-I mean us. He has more then a full plate right now and gets just as much, if not less, sleep than I do, but never complains. He's up in the early morning hours to snuggle with Brynlynn when she's fussy and never hesitates to take her for a diaper change regardless of the time. He is so loving and gentle with his little girl; constantly showering her with hugs and kisses. He also manages to support and love me through it all. I couldn't ask for a better father to my child(ren) or husband (/eternal companion).

I'm so grateful for Brent and the man that he is. I wasn't around for the majority of the first 33 years, but I'm looking forward to spending the next 33 together!

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.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale & Dups!

I can't believe it's already here!! THE annual Nordstrom sale!! Christmas in July! 😂 Are you one of the many who get excited for the sale or do you not really care?  I love a good sale, for sure! If there is anything I've had my eye on, I like to make sure I check out the sale to see if it made the cut!  As I type this, I'm off and on Amazon and my Target app because it's Amazon Prime Day! ....ahhh how that commercialism gets me!!😂 It does seem weird to start buying boots, booties, cardigans and jackets in July--especially in Texas!  Buuut I try to keep in mind that if it's something I will need in the winter and it's cheaper to buy it now, it's worth it!! Plus, all the sales in July can help get some gift buying done (super early!!) & then it doesn't hurt so much come November and December, right? #justificationprocess So, for those of you not consuming your days scrolling the sale items and cross referencing them across multiple sites...
