Did I mention I am a total Geek?

I have a secret obsession. Maybe not so secret. But I love Project Runway. Yes, it is reality TV and yes it is over dramatized but I love it. I love that everyone goes out, gets fabric, and creates something beautiful (well usually beautiful). But it makes me super happy because I secretly have a desire to be able to design clothing or costumes or just to make myself clothing from vinatge patterns. (oh my vintage housecoat someday I will make you) But there are a couple problems with my secret desire....

1) I can only sew straight lines 2) I don't own a sewing machine

So.... This Saturday is my birthday and I am getting this. Mostly because I have to finish sewing my Fairy Tea Costume for the library. But I have needed a machine for some time for basic stuff and now seems like the right time. Also how can I learn to sew if I don't have a Sewing Machine.
And I have another obsession that is cosely related to Project Runway.

Heidi Klum (the host of project runway) just came out with a maternity line.

I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.

I love it.
This is my favorite peice. It comes in both Blue and white

I also got these jeans but they are at the tailors. (I need them to be hemmed- I think they where made for someone 5'11') But I love them!!!!! I got a couple other peices that also make me super happy!!!!!!

It's so funny with Luke I always wanted to look pregnant but wanted to stay wearing normal clothes. With this baby I want to wear my maternity clothes now. Each day I bring them out and ask Andrew if they fit yet. But they don't and probably won't for a little while. But they are in the front of my closet and I look at them every day

Very Long Days

I just had to post this picture because it made me laugh. Yesterday was stake conference and Luke had a super hard time sitting through it. When he got home, he was so so tired but didn't want to sit still. Life can be so hard when you are 2. I love this kid!

Happy Thoughts

I am so sorry this update has taken so long, I started this about a month ago. Thank you so much for sticking with our Blog and our Family. It's been an exciting couple of months.

Happy Thought #1
We are expecting our second child!
Yayyyyy! We found out on Luke's Birthday and we are so incredibally excited. We are due at the end of July. Did I mention I love being pregnant. This is probably my happiest thought. I am so grateful and excited to have another baby. I have been doing really well and despite loss of appetite it was a fabulous first trimester. I am feeling great and am so excited to have my energy back. We are having our first ultrasound on March 9 and I couldn't be more excited.

Happy Thought #2
Luke is the best little kid ever!
Luke is doing super well. He has been amazingly healthy and hasn't had any respitory problems since August. We are so grateful .
And this is one of my favorite pictures. He came in one night trying to tell us something and we realized his diaper had come out the bottom of his pants. The Strange thing was... both his diaper and his pants were still done up? Who knows. But I love his face!

This is him falling asleep kneeling beside the couch. I love it when He does that!
And he is doing super well with his therapy. This is his "Bean Box" his new favorite toy.
Happy Thought #3

Andrew's job has been wonderful and kept him super busy.
I am not sure if his crazy schedule is a happy thought. But it makes me so happy he is able to do something he enjoys. He is heading out on a few buisness trips in the next couple months and his company has announced a couple of new X-box games so you will have to check them out. Andrew is also one of the scout masters in our ward which also keeps his busy. Basically, he's amazing and I love him lots!
Happy Thought #3
My new cell phone should come soon.
For those of you who I haven't talked to in forever, I am so sorry. I lost my charger in the end of November and haven't been able to get any of the numbers out of my phone. So I haven't been in touch with some of the most important people in my life. But my sister Cori, bought me a new charger!!!!! Thanks Cori. However it has been lost in the mail for almost a month, so we will have to see when it will actually get here. In the mean time know I love you and want to talk to you soon!
Happy Thought #4
I love my job.
I work as a StoryTeller and it makes me really happy. It's fun to do something that fills my performing need. And more than anything I love the people I work with. They are so creative and energetic and make each day seem much more like play than work. It's definately a happy thought.
This picture was taken afew weeks for the Daily Herald. And this was my storytelling partner Jen.
Happy Thought #5
Office Night and Florida Friends
This Florida tradition has moved to Utah and brings me great joy each thursday night. And I guess the friends aren't technically FL friends because we knew most of them before FL. But basically they are a group of people who make life better every time you see them. And we where so excited when we got to meet up with some of them at Ben and Luana's blessing for their son Elliot. It was awesome!
In truth I am not a huge Office fan. But it really is my favorite night of the week. Our dear friends Chuck and Amy open their house each thursday and a bunch of our friends get together and play games and watch the Office. Its super fun because it is a mix of friends from Disney, School, and here in Utah and I love it.

We love life. I will take more pictures and post more info! Happy Day!
