as this blog will no longer exist
(I know...it hasn't existed for quite some time now)

baby.

here i am,
a couple days shy of 20 weeks pregnant (almost halfway)
and so excited for this baby to be here.

Maybe it's just because I've been looking at baby stuff online for several hours while I can feel baby's little body kicking and moving in my tummy.

so looking forward to our little family to grow.

p.s. here are a fraction of the baby pictures I was talking about.
now do you understand?

Amélie

why did it take me so long to watch this film?

seriously, my new favorite.

it's official

we are now home-owners.

change of plans. . .

so maybe instead of going to the tropical rainforest,
we might just buy a house
and go to london

yep, my sister is marrying a european.

oh yeah in case you were wondering :  this european. . .

 and in case you were wondering  :  this house. . .

brasil

yep.  we're going to be here this summer.

I have the best marido in the world.

He'll be so proud of me - using my portuguese word I know

ski.

this is grand.


More Ski Videos

ok so this is my dream

someday I want to live in a cute little home.
by a lake/river.
with my wonderful husband/children.
where there are four seasons.
summer, fall, winter, spring.

in the summer, we bike and kayak.
in the winter, we xc ski and snowshoe.
both right outside of our home.
where i can literally walk outside our door and there's the beautiful snow.  and there's the beautiful garden.  and there's the beautiful water.

in the winter i cozy up to our fireplace and drink tea and read and play games with the kids and husband.
i teach at a nearby university/college 2-3 days a week.
the husband has his business/es.

it just sounds wonderful.

maybe it's because i'm tired.
or maybe it's because i'm lovin these saturdays where we go to the canyon, breath the fresh canyon air and ski - and it is wonderful.
or maybe it's that pinterest.

oksoonceipeedonastuffedanimalfromthedi.com

there is a boy in my class who bought a stuffed animal from d.i.

hopefully it wasn't the same stuffed animal that I once met.
it was about fifteen years ago.
and I really had to pee.
I couldn't find a bathroom.

that is all.

dear nose,

please stop running.
you're driving me crazy. 

home.

I will never cease to love this song.



Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

and the french man who posts such wonderful videos.

 

okay 

so I loved it.

and cried.  a lot.

(also don't tell my harry potter fan club about my last post)

yes, for some odd reason, my blog is listed on a harry potter fansite

well, maybe it's not that odd.

I'm pretty obsessed.

I'm kind of embarrassed to say this but. . .

and she loves me.

and you know what?

I love her too.

dear randy,

I will always remember you
I will always remember when you taught me year after year in primary
I will always remember how you helped me learn the articles of faith
I will always remember the moments you made me laugh
I will always remember how you made me look forward to halloween even more
I will always remember how you didn't like my black car and how you liked my red car better
I will always remember how you pretended that you spied on me and my doorstep moments in high school (you were just making that up, right?)
I will always remember how when you play or sing, you bring tears to my eyes
I will always remember your caring smile
But most of all,
I will always remember how you made me feel.
Loved.

Thank you for loving me, Randy.

You are missed and loved.

We'll do our best to take care of your children and wife.

{looking forward to hearing you sing again}

i hate it when the weather teases me. . .

i like rain when it's anytime after seven pm.
(after school and after a nice outdoor adventure) 

but please, no more inside recess days(?)

on thursday, this will be mine.

yep, i'm thrilled.

moab,

here we come.
