Happy Birthday to my best example, teacher and friend. I'm one of the luckiest gals to be your daughter. Thank you for being my support, my hero, my mother and for teaching me how wonderful and beautiful life can be. Today we celebrate you. Cheers to the next decade! The best is yet to come! Love, love, love you!
How on earth did that happen? Guess we have lots to catch up on!
Let's start with Brandon!
Since I've last blogged he helped make this:
He's pretty darn proud of it.
& he did a couple of these:
He's still going strong at TrueNorthLogic and the U of U. Though we are constantly counting down time and semesters until he'll be done with school. May 2015 will be such an exciting month for us.
Speaking of exciting months, September has also been pretty great... we moved into our very first house! We're loving it so far despite the constant expenses that new houses seem to have... it was worth it just for the garage, vegetable garden and fireplace as far as I'm concerned. I'd post pictures of it but thanks to my phone taking a dip in the toilet my camera is no more. That is something we're definitely going to need to fix before January and this little guy arrive...
Yep, I can already tell I'm going to want to take countless photos of that cutie.
We're pretty excited, nervous, happy and terrified all rolled into one.
I just can't wait to meet him.
As for me, I left Dewsnup, King & Olsen and law behind and am back at Free & Associates. It's weird to be back. But nice. Much less stressful which was exactly what I was hoping for (though I did ask my parents the other day if I could just look at their auto insurance policy, just becuase I missed doing that sort of thing. Once a personal injury legal assistant, always a personal injury legal assistant, I guess). Although, being that I'm a chronic stresser, I now have more time to worry about getting our duplex rented, getting our house all updated and unpacked, and any and all things baby related.
Brandon and I are on an electronic diet this week. Obviously, it's going as well as just about any other sort of diet. You decide to limit your intake of something and somehow you end up spending more time then ever/consuming way more then ever before. Example, I am blogging. I never blog. It's the last thing on Earth I'm supposed to be doing, so here I am. So wrong, yet it feels so right.
Life is same old, same old, right now. I've been working my brains out and Brandon's been working and studying a lot. It's thrilling. All that thrill aside, I've decided to share with the world just a few of the ways I decompress after a long day of record requesting, client managing, and trying to use the word 'auspice' correctly in letters...
I enjoy Daydreaming about planning trips to places like these:
I also love to spend too much time on this:
& being an avid follower of this:
(&/or The Bachelor, Modern Family, Vampire Diaries, PPL's, etc. But really, if you're not watching The Following you should be. Kevin Bacon is awesome. He's come such a long way from his Footloose days.)
Hence the need for the electronic diet.
As I tell myself when I'm on any kind of diet, tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow I will not post on my blog or 'like' all of the photos that my sister posted to facebook, I will not search every email account for the password reset email that Instagram is supposed to be sending me (why, why do I have so darn many accounts? How did that happen?) and I will not watch The Following.
Oh the good intentions of a doomed-from-the-start diet. If tomorrow is going to be better then today let me leave you with one last electronic moment:
