Lei'd



I was shopping for Bella's birthday party and Bella graciously volunteered to be the model for all the leis we purchased...she is such a good sport. And look, no stink eye this time!
The local party store here is really cute. I was in there looking around and I was like...this stuff all loos like it came out of an Oriental Trading Company Magazine....sure enough 95% of everything in the store IS from the OTC. Is that allowed? Its not like they jacked up the prices super high, its a great store, just kind of funny.

Heres the first sample...just wait, they get better

Something To Look Forward To

We were in the store getting ready to check out and I saw this paper, staring me in the face...


Happy Birthday to me! This year dont worry about having to get me a birthday present, because guess what? We'll be dead, so its ok, I wont be mad. Maybe I'll celebrate early just in case, I am going to be 25 after all, kind of a big step in life. A quarter of a century old. Thanks mom for always reminding me of that, I really appreciate it. My consolation is that Dan is always going to be 7 years older than me, so thats a good thing, I shouldn't feel as old. But I do. Sometimes I feel like my life just stopped back in 2005 and I just havent caught up yet. At least thats what I always hope, that I'll wake up and it will be ok that I havent finished my degree or I'm still fat. Well in 2005 I wasnt fat so that wouldnt be an issue.


Those are the things that are extremely vexing to me. I am fat and I havent finished my degree and I'm going to be 25. I wanted to be over those 2 things so I could move on with my life. I guess 25 is just a number right? Although it feels like I'll never finish school, because I havent started school again. I can always finish. Getting BYU's degree in generals would be a piece of cake, but then hello I would be totally throwing away all the credits from my major.


So has anyone out there almost finished at BYU and had to complete their degree elsewhere? Any advice?


Here are my goals for my quarter of a century birthday.


-Not to cry on my big day
-To start to finish my degree sometime before I turn 26.
-To get skinny by Christmas...or at least by the time I turn 26.
-To hang out with friends. Fair warning Dan, I want a party! :) get hoppin'.

Sick and Tired


So last friday I got sick....AGAIN. with the same thing as before. What the heck is this? I think it may be allergy related, but some of my symptoms are so not feeling like allergies. like hello...i was in bed for almost 3 days again with a fever and I'm almost feeling human again today. I just have to keep telling myself I'm almost over it...

On Sunday Bella started to get sick...monday her fever spiked to 105.4 and we've been monitoring it since then, it stayed under 102.8 yesterday which is great...and since last night has been under 100. I've been totally paranoid when she is finally asleep that something is going to happen to her so I havent gotten any sleep for like 4 days.

The night before last we had her sleep with us because she WOULDNT sleep in her crib, she just cried for hours. Instead she thought it was a lot of fun and wiggled around in our bed like a dog finding its comfy spot until 2:30am and then passed out until 5 got crazy for a half hour and then fell asleep until almost 9am.

Yesterday she didnt sleep at all until almost 7pm and that was only for 15 minutes. oh i forgot to mention. She is on the "B.R.A.T." diet Bananas, Rice, Apples, & Toast and cant have dairy through today. nice huh? So she is use to having a bottle before naps and bed time and cant. torture! so she didnt go to bed until 10 and slept until 7am. By about 8:30/8:45 she was ready for a nap I caved and gave her a little milk diluted with water and she crashed and is still asleep...it's noon. i'm getting nervous and i'm going to check on her but i so dont want to wake her up...it's been a crazy exhausting couple of days. I keep hoping I'll wake up and it will all be a dream.
