Day 1-Recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself
i just gave 10 in my last post so i've just added 5 more :)
1. i love being pregnant. i'm sore and i'm tired and i'm a bit moody, but i really do enjoy it. i love when matthew talks to our little guy and i love when we feel him move. i won't be pregnant forever, and i'm glad about that, but while i am, it's a different type of challenge. plus- i haev a place to put my hands :)2. growing up, i wanted to be an actress. i thought they were so smart because they all new the words to song not on the radio, or could all do the same dance moves. i didn't realize it was all rehearsed until i started in an acting group.
3. i've been in 9 schools, plus college.
4. i've lived in 5 states, but 20 some houses. (only 4 of those were in college)
5. i hate being hot and sweaty but i hate snow. fall and spring are the best seasons.

10/10/10
What a cool day of the year! Plus- it's my favorite number!
So, to "celebrate" I'll tell you a couple groupings of 10.
10 things you may or may not know about me:
1. Growing up, I thought I was going to marry "Walker, Texas Ranger". I know, weird. There were all the popular people of the time, the backstreet boys, and NSync, and JTT, but no- i watched and taped so I could rewatch every episode of walker, texas ranger.
2. Matthew and I have a battle every day to see who could say I love you mostest first. On Jan 1, 2008 I thought I was so smart by telling him I loved him mostest for the year. He then told me he loved me mostest for eternity. We still play, but it's true, he has won.
3. I say some words "weird". Matthew reminds me of this often.. One of those words is "mine". I think I say it right, but he says I say it like the "Mayan civilization"
4. If I could go back to school, I'd go to be an interior designer. It'd be so fun to design people's houses all day.
5. I don't really like taking showers, but once I actually get in, I never want to get out. I think it's that I subconsciously know I'll be cold once I get out.
6. I love the video game Civilization. I don't play nearly as often as I think about it.
7. While I never want to start cleaning, once I do, it's kind of addicting. I like to turn on my music and just get everything done. It's a refreshing feeling to sit down afterwards and know that everything is where it should be.
8. I love the Harry Potter series. I never wanted to have anything to do with Harry Potter when I was in high school. My best friends loved it and watched the movies and stayed up late for the releasings but I never cared. Matthew convinced me to start the first book a few summers ago. I reluctantly agreed and haven't put them down since. I love the books, the movies, the video games, the books about the books. I'm really sad that the end is near.
9. I use to HATE putting up decorations. My dad would usually have a special night for every holiday where we decorated. I didn't like hanging lights, doing the tree, etc. Now, I hate that I don't decorate for every holiday, and every season, and just for whatever. I make my own decorations, I convince Matthew to let me buy decorations. I hope my kids aren't like that. I love it!
10. My life is truly wonderful. I have the most wonderful husband who is my very very best friend. We're having a little boy in December and I'm so excited to meet him. I can't imagine what my life would be like without my litle family, my best friends, and the wonderful blessings I have in my life.
10 things I learned this year:
1. I have the greatest family I could ever ask for.
2. 8 year olds are exhausting. But, I still love teaching them.
3. Everything works out according to plan.
4. Sometimes, we don't think that's how life is going but in the end, it's right.
5. I knew the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was true before this year, but I have had countless experiences this year that have reminded me of that.
6. We don't get everything we want. sometimes, it's just a candy car.. sometimes, it's a job, a house, or something else bigger.
7. The DC area is not as cool of a place to live as it is a place to visit.
8. I miss my family tremendously. I miss those in PA, CA, IL, and everywhere in between. I wish I had more money to spend to visit them more often.
9. I never thought that I could live with and never want to be without one person in my life. I never thought that I could fall in love all over again every single day, day after day. Again, I also knew this before this year, but I sure love being reminded each morning.
10. I enjoy working. and I don't miss school. Learning was cool, but tests, doing things that are required without getting a paycheck- not cool. Work is busy and stressful sometimes, but I'm glad I do something I enjoy.
10 of my favorite things:
1. Matthew
2. My little boy (who I'm still waitingggg to meet)
3. Bright Colors
4. Sunshine
5. Chocolate Milk
6. Video Games
7. NCIS
8. DIY projects
9. Chocolate
10. Baking
Life is good. Heading outside because it's still so bloody hot in this apartment!

Sept Fun
September came and went and I can't believe it's October already! It's just unbelievable!
The beginning of September, we went to PA for a 4 day weekend and I had a GREAT baby shower thrown by Dani and Dad with help from DesDes and Gram and other family. I just loved it and everything was perfect... The food was great and there were great people there and we got a ton of great stuff. Our little guy is sooo spoiled already!
Hope you enjoyed some pictures. More are on FaceBook if you want to see them :)
The rest of September was filled with a visit to Grams for yummy food, a conservation pick up day with the cub scouts and a bunch of church stuff! Good busy! Conference was also AMAZING!! I'll post some from my favorite talks soon...
