I Heart CA

Can I just say that I LOVE California!!!

Now there are many many reasons why I could say this, but what is triggering the thought right now is the AMAZING weather we have been having. I am so used to Utah falls that I forgot how perfect CA weather really is. I know a lot of you out there love all the beautiful colors of fall in Utah, and yes it is pretty, but comfort for me TOTALLY outweighs pretty. This weeks average is going to be 80 degrees! Yes, that is right, 80 degrees and sunny! It so nice to still be in shorts and flip flops, to take P and Em out without having to worry about bundling them up or even putting shoes and socks on for that matter! Right now it is just about 8pm and it is still 75 degrees outside . . . this is my idea of perfection! Please don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things I miss about Utah but the weather is certainly not one of them.

So thank you CA, I truly forgot how you are practically perfect in every way!

p.s. I am finally feeling a connection with some friends out here and that has helped me SOOOO much! Before I really felt like I just needed to make it through the day and now I am really enjoying each day. I am SO grateful for friends both close and far.

Also, I went to an all night craft shin-dig on Friday and it was such a blast! I finished 3 awesome projects and had tons of fun just chatting with women. I don't know about you, but I seriously need girl time every now and then. It was seriously just what I needed to re-charge and do something for me! I feel like the happy, friendly, person I used to/want to be instead of being Mrs. Grouch which is what I was feeling like. So thanks to those who bore with me through my grouchy phase, I think I am much more pleasant now. :)

Oh Rebecca- I couldn't agree with you more!!!! I love California as like right after religion, husband, and baby- I'm not even joking. My husband asks me a lot when dealing with certain not fun things about our state (like two things total, come on!) why we live here and I just tell him- listen, I can't live anywhere else, so yeah...I don't know what else to tell you! I really feel like if I was forced to live somewhere else for Austin's job or whatever, I could maybe do it, but I would always just be waiting until I could come back! For Reals! haha Also- I hope I can be part of those connections that make you happy! We should really hang out!

So happy for you!! I'm glad you're getting more comfortable in CA and making some good friendships. Can't wait to see a video of the P-man and hear his voice. And I totally want to see pictures of the three crafts you did. I'm trying to think of some cute fall things to do for decorations ... got any ideas? :)

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
