Beginning of the End

Dun dada DAH!!! (read with an air of triumphant trumpet sound)  Tim is officially in his last semester of BYU undergraduate school, and he is LOVING it!  ..... sort of...

Getting into medical school is not for the faint hearted!  But at least there is a light at the end of this tunnel.  The forecast for now?  Sunny!

.... never mind that from there the forecast is school, school, and more school... we're just reveling in this glory for now.  July graduation here we come!

Short Lived

This evening I walked out of the hospital after a long day as a nurse, and the next time I walk back into a hospital I will be a patient.  Yes it's true, I am officially on maternity leave!  Which means my workin' days were a little short lived.  But little girl could come any time now.  Besides we're starting to get uncomfortable so... I plan to enjoy 8-12 weeks of guilt-free "fun"!

Blast From the Past

Tim recently (read: finally!) upgraded his cell phone, which ended up serving as a nice reminder that I had a bunch of old pictures trapped on my old phone.  So Tim worked some magic and voila!  We now have them!  And my goodness some of them are old!  Allow me to review a few:

My nephew Aiden... he's now 5

And my other nephew Brian... he's now 9!  And still makes that face actually

My best friend Darcy and I our Junior year just after a performance at Boise State.  I think I'm not quite 17 here... but the slicked back dancer hair is always flattering.

This is Wentworth.  You met his brother Bosworth a couple months ago in this post here, but this guy was created from the first snowfall in Logan Utah during our first semester of college there (2006), and then lived in our freezer for... a while.

And my all time personal favorite:

16 year old DeeAnna and 17 year old Tim on a Friday night high school date!  Awe.... 

Overlooking the noticeably poor quality of my primitive phone photography, overall this was kind of a fun little find!  Now I'm on somewhat of a nostalgic "long lost memory" binge and am wondering where I can dig up the next batch of old, classic, and more-than-likely embarrassing photos to reminisce about... this could keep me entertained for a while

Question and a Comment

Comment: Feeling a baby move has got to be the coolest thing ever!
Question: Must I really be in the bathroom 36 times a day and have ankles doubled in size?

... That is all

From Bedroom to Baby Room... and Then Some

Well, it's happened... our little home has officially been taken over by baby!  

Unborn baby that is.  We're on the last stretch of the due date count down and a few weeks ago decided we ought to think about making room for the bundle of joy and all her stuff.  Moving to a new place just in time for Tim to graduate didn't seem to make a ton of sense, but we are lacking in a second bedroom.  Thus we initiated the "Bedroom to Baby Room" project.

And then we advanced to the "Home for 2 to Home for 3" project.  We now have a  bathroom with a baby tubby, a hallway cupboard packed with diapers, a kitchen of bibs and bottles, and a living room bookshelf lost to baskets full of toys, burp clothes, and passies.  So much fun!!!  Oh!  And my favorite baby home makeover feature:

And we are set!  Home for two converted to home for three, steadily growing, and happy as ever!

Sugar Mama:

Pronounced Shoogah'Mama, the term denotes one who is of the female gender and works to bring home money which she uses to treat her man to something nice...

and apparently for us, "something nice" equates to cheap but super delicious frozen custard at the adorable  little place just down the street from our house.... That's how I role.

Yay for pay checks!
