So tonight on ABC they had a show on called What Would You Do? I happened to watch it because there was nothing else on. Well I have to say I was very disappointed. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I take pride in my religion. This doesn't mean the people in it are perfect! I'm not perfect by any means. I have made my share of mistakes, that doesn't mean the church needs to be punished for MY mistakes.
In case you didn't see it you can look it up online here: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/03/bride-lies-about-virginity-should-mormon-husband-still-marry-her/
I was so upset, I feel like there is no need to mention a religion. I'm sure this has happened in other religions too. I don't think ANY religion should be looked at this way. I guess all I'm asking from you is to write ABC and ask them not to talk about peoples religion in this way. Every religion is already looked down in one way or another by others and NO religion deserves to be nationally put down because of a PERSON'S actions.
Thanks!

Extra 24 hours?

We had a wonderful day today fixing our fence and keeping our boy entertained outside, till the snow storm hit. Then I made a good dinner, chicken and potatoes. Ryan and I decided that we would take this "extra time" to spend together since we all know how often that happens. I had 1 more quiz to take for school and it was time for Rodney to go to bed so I asked Ry if he would put Rodney down and get him to sleep. I finished my quiz, got 24 ready to watch, and walked in to get Ryan and wouldn't you know it, he was fast asleep in the rocking chair! I woke him up and asked if he was ready to watch our show and have ice cream, he was tired and wanted to go to bed. So what am I doing with the extra time?


Sitting by my nice HOT wood stove,


Deciding on a movie,


Eating my current craving, rainbow sherbet,


But I should be doing homework.
I won't feel guilty tonight, I will just deal with it tomorrow. I need a little "extra time" to myself.

Happy Leap Day! Hope you all are doing something fun with the "extra day."

Question?

Has your husband ever made you cry with out him ever even knowing it?

Mine does

I sat down to write him a letter tonight and I couldn't stop crying.

Okay so yes I'm pregnant, but seriously! I will share a little of what I wrote.

Ryan,
I just wanted to let you know how much you mean to me! I love you! I love everything about you, even the stinky you! Okay, maybe not after you eat certain things, but it always makes me laugh! I love that you are mine forever! I love that you work so hard for our family! I love that you love our son! I love that you play with him and make him laugh! I love that I can talk to you about anything! I love that I can count on you! But most of all I just love you! You mean the world to me! You make me so happy! I couldn't imagine a better life!

How could I not cry! I love this man and am so blessed to have him as a husband!

Grateful!

I just wanted to share to the whole world how grateful I am to have this man in my life!

Everything he does he does for our family. He is so kind, loving, and patient with our son. He works so hard so I can be at home with Rodney, and so we can have a decent life. I just wanted to say I appreciate all that you do for us Ryan, all the overtime you put in, and the work you do around here. Thanks for being patient with me and helping me while I have been sick! I love you so much! Wish we could be back in Alaska hiking again to give you a break. Someday! :)

TM's Bum Bum!

Okay, I know TM is going to kick my bum bum some day, but isn't that just the cutest bum you have ever seen! He loves the tub and now decides that if I take to long he is just going to climb in all by himself!

Trying something new.

We tried something new for dinner. Its not actually anything out of the ordinary I just combined two of our favorite dishes together, chicken and zucchini. First I cooked the chicken then I put some olive oil in a hot pan added onions, peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini, fried it till it was soft.

The picture doesn't do it justice! It was sooooo good! Even Rodney wanted seconds.

Fun days!

Sorry no pictures this time, but I have a lot to say. For Christmas we went down to utah and had so much fun with family. It was so nice to see my family including my Mimi and Papa, Rodney's great grandparents, and my aunt, uncle, and cousins. Then we came home from Utah and my sister came up here to Jerome. It was so nice to have her up her. She has helped keep me sane and helped a lot around the house. I appreciate her more than she will ever know. On friday she was able to go to my doctors appointment with me to hear the baby's heartbeat. It is such an amazing feeling and I am so glad she got to share that memory with me. Rodney also was there and got to hear the heartbeat, he was so cute! I know he doesn't really understand whats going on, but he sure was cute. I have been trying to sit with him and read stories about siblings, new babies, and of course the what to expect when your expecting book. I have been showing him the pictures of what the baby looks like so that maybe he will start to understand that mommy has another baby growing. I am so afraid that he will be so jealous and not want much to do with me once the baby is born. Hopefully me working with him will help ease some of the jealousy or make it a little easier on both of us. We haven't felt the baby yet, I'm only 11 weeks, but I have him feel my tummy when I show him the pictures. I am excited for when he can feel the baby though so he knows something is in there. We are really excited to start this journey, and hope that everything lasts. Any way, my sister left today, it was really hard for me. I miss my family, its so hard living so far away. But I'm very excited for the next time she gets to come visit! Well I guess that's all I have to say for now!
