Spring is in the air (an old unpublished post from March!)

I logged onto blogger just now and found this post waiting to be worked on. Even though it is from March I think I'll still post it. I have been thinking about our apartment and how I felt there, so it was a coincidence to see these photos pop up! We moved out of our apartment in March during my spring break for the semester. It was also my birthday that weekend. haha. I was also feeling ill and nauseous because of baby-doo. It was a sad goodbye and a confusing one... It was hard to go but we decided to do it and we did! It feels good to do. To actually make a decision and do it. We are a lot happier where we are now, but it is still hard. It is hard because I am being prideful and ungrateful. Other than that, life has actually been a lot happier. Warmer weather and getting past the first months of pregnancy also have helped!

First Sunday wearing something other than boots and/or tights. Plus the sun was out!

Hello friends! I haven't been updating the blog like I've wanted to for the past couple of months. First off, my husband man's camera had to be sent to little brother-in-law for his journalist classes and second, I'm preggers. I'm Pregnant!
It has been very up and down for the past few months. The (morning) sickness started a couple weeks after Christmas and has been a really difficult thing to deal with. It has gotten better each week, so this week was better than the last, etc, but I'm not very hearty so it has still been hard.
A few of the blogs I love reading have also had baby on the mind. If you read Clothed Much, you'd know she had her baby. I am totally going to refer to her blog for clothing inspiration. Whenever I get out of my slump. And Spring comes. I usually dress like a hobo in the winter, and add in being sickly, and you've got an expert hobo dresser.
Anyway, a couple other blog girls have yet to become pregnant, for medical reasons (I'm supposing). This makes me so sad. For a couple of reasons... :( I'm being a big boob-head and selfish about feeling sick a lot, so them wanting to be pregnant kind of makes me cringe. Why would you want to be pregnant if you could possibly be sick for 9 months? You know? Another reason it makes me sad is because it is such a wonderful thing. I know, I sound contradictory. It really is a beautiful thing, and they can't experience it. It is amazing cuz you're a human with a human inside of you! What! A humanoid thing has been created from almost nothing! Seriously, things so small that you have to look under a microscope. And then the cells split or divide (or whatever) and grow and grow and then all of a sudden a human baby thing is born! haha... There are also great things from being a mother. The love you feel for a child is one that requires having a child. I haven't quite figured this love out yet, but I think as the weeks go on I'll feel it more.
Anyhow... I'm hoping when Spring gets here I'll feel even better. Then I can ditch my hobo clothes and attitude and start blogging more...

Casey

A year ago we put Casey girl to sleep and buried her in the back yard. She was a sweet doggy.

Laugh!

These pictures and video are cracking me up. 

The following two photos were taken on a walk in the snow.

It looks like he's taking a wiz, but he's really just standing up to his knees in a giant snow pile. 

This mailbox is awesome.

Laying in bed together, making frowny faces-via facetime. I had to play with my new iPod!  

The song about rainbows by Kermit played on the ukulele by my brother video:

Bro: NO!

Mom (singing): Why- 

Bro: Are you recording it? I can't see!

Me (like a creeper): I'm not...

Bro: What are you lookin' at?

Why does this video crack me up? My brother being a punk head and playing the ukulele, my mom singing one word, my creeper response and checking if the flash was on. So awesome.
