i have a problem...

... called curiosity.

i am working on not being so curious.

you know, waiting for information to be volunteered instead of asking.
like with husband.
i like to ask him when i don't think the answer is coming soon enough.
silly.

i should just be patient.

so i put this new patience to test yesterday when husband told me he had secret errands to run today.
i asked what they were and he said "i can't tell you! its a secret!"
and he had a cute look on his face.

shoot dang.
now i really really want to know.

blah.


in other news... it seems so weird that one year ago i was moving out of one apartment to go home to get married. sheesh. i never would have guessed that one year later i would be getting ready to go to my BEAUTIFUL cousin Erikas wedding and have a little baby coming.

sheesh.

good thing nobody told me that they had a secret about that.
it might have killed me.

building blocks

you know the moment when it seems that all those little pieces start fitting together? like building blocks? like you plan where you want it to go and then unexpectedly something you think might be bad happens but then when you really look at it and figure out how that thing is going to fit in you realize that it really will work and then you can keep on building? well my life has been a little like that lately. so husband and i bought a car. not just any car, a pretty car. a nissan maxima car. its a 2005 and its b-e-a-utiful!!! i love it. that was definitely an unexpected building block... inspired by yet another unexpected one... but things are good. and the unexpected things? well i think they just give our fort a little character. thats all. oh and don't worry... i haven't forgotten to tell you my secret... i'm just waiting for the right time :)

a wonderful surprise

so my fathers mother, grandma green, decided a few years ago that she was going to take up quilting. she made beautiful quilts, and started making them for her grandchildren. well, i was working at joann fabric at the time and i bought her a quilting book as a gift. she then decided that she would make me a quilt next and that i could pick out a pattern from the book. so i did and she came up to logan and we picked the fabric out for it together. well she started working on it about the same time that she submitted her mission papers and when her call came she was supposed to leave in i think three weeks from that day. well, my quilt got put on hold (understandably) and last sunday my mom called me and said that grandma and a surprise for me and darrell and that we should come over before we drove back to logan. so we did. guess what was waiting for me? thats right. my quilt!!! beautifully quilted and finished!!!! it is so pretty and i'm so excited to have a quilt from my grandma that i will be able to show my kids someday!

THANK YOU GRANDMA!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
