sweet honey

I've been on a toast, butter, and honey kick lately. No matter how careful I am, I can't seem to keep all the honey on the bread! Even if there were the smallest hole, the honey finds it and leaks all over the place.

This weekend is Stephen and Anna's wedding and the Beck Family Reunion. Yippee! I've been doing pretty good with taking my camera to places I go. My next goal is to actually take out the camera and take some pictures. Who knows, I may be able to catch vandals in the act of decorating a certain someone's car ....

sleep talkers

Do any of you talk/walk in your sleep? I know I do, but I'm having a harder time convincing Joe that he does, in fact, do the same thing. It's always fun the next morning to explain what the other one said or did.

Joe's been going through a burrowing stage lately. I don't sleep as deep as I once did .. stupid potty breaks .. and get out of bed quite a bit. When I woke up once, I was taking up about a foot of the bed. Joe was sleeping with his back right next to me with his feet sticking out, almost off his side of the bed. I nudged him a little and asked him to move over.

"Ugghhhh," he groaned quite angerly.
"Move over, please." I thought my asking nicer would improve the situation. Nope.
"What? I'm sleeping."

In his defense, he did end up moving once I again nudged him a couple more times in the ribs with my pointy elbows.

**SIDE NOTE: I think God made women's elbows pointy for this very reason of getting husbands to move over. Even after I've gained all this baby weight, my elbows are still a good weapon for my defense. =)

movie review


Joe and I watched "Get Smart" last Saturday. We laughed pretty dang hard. I kept thinking that this movie is an American version of the Pink Panther. Anyhoo ... there were a couple of parts that just didn't need to be in there and because of them I will not buy the movie. Steve Carell is so good in all the movies that he plays in.

marks of motherhood

I will spare you pictures of this post and you'll soon find out why. I guess I have officially been inducted into the realm of motherhood. I have stretch marks! They are little, but they are everywhere. Yikes! I'm starting to get more uncomfortable and I'm starting to get sick to my stomach again. My dad advised that women have to get to a point where they are uncomfortable and WANT that baby out of them or they could be pregnant for a lot longer than is necessary. Yeah, whatever.

A man's wife brought in her 3 day old son into the office yesterday. He was so teeny! That is, if you can call 8 pounds teeny. I looked at him for a while and then promptly left. I'm excited, nervous and scared to become a mom, to be responsible to this little human for the rest of my life, to teach him about being a gentleman, to teach him about the gospel ... Needless to say, the responsibility of being a parent is a bit overwhelming to me.

which disney princess are you?

I am Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.

i'm a Honda S2000


You live on the edge, and you live for the adrenaline rush. You don't need luxuries, snob appeal, or superfluous gadgets. You put your top down, get your motor revving, and take all the curves that life throws at you at full speed. So what if you spin out occasionally?
