And if you do send this very huge very important request via text message (seriously, who does that) at a very inopportune time and I happen to forget (not my fault, as we already discussed) don't, I repeat, do not refer to you doing the job that was yours originally that was going to be done by us as a favor to you, but we forgot (again, see previous post, it happens) and you end up doing it yourself (like you were supposed to originally) do not refer to this as "bailing you guys out."
I'm not sure I want to stay in Logan for the rest of my life. I wish my family lived closer.
Farewell July, you've been a miserable month. Or maybe it's just been such a miserable week that felt like a whole month. Either way, August, welcome.
Ten weeks till baby time. Time to start getting serious about getting things prepared.
And to everybody else, I apologize for my passive-aggressive way of dealing with my frustrations - but sometimes that's about all you can do.

Just Venting
Just because Blake and I don't have kids, it doesn't mean we don't have responsibilities...or a life... or things we'd rather be doing.
And just because Blake and I are still fairly newlyweds and still getting our home and lives set up doesn't mean that we cannot be given any responsibilities. Where's the balance?
I blame that whole mess on the miserable week I had.
Things I do want: When we're all getting together for a barbecue and everybody else is bringing something - assign us something too. I can make a salad.
Things I don't want: For it to be assumed that we're the best ones to make last minute trips to Salt Lake and things of the sort. How does this always come to us? We might not have kids to put to bed, but I'd still like to go to bed. There are things I'd like to get done before going to bed. There are plans we've made, bad days at work, a whole host of reasons why I'd rather not. I feel like it's always: He's got a meeting for his calling, he can't, they've got all the kids, so they can't, she works tonight, she can't. What do I do all day? I'm a busy person too.
Also, If someone asks for a huge and very important favor but sends it via text message after an exhausting weekend out of town while on the long drive home, and I forget about it . . . I don't feel like that's my fault. Maybe, if it's that important you should call next time.
Anyway, sorry. It's been a bad day.
But I love you all and think you are all great.
Have a good night.

Sweet Tooth
I've got a sweet tooth right now that nothing has been able to satisfy. We had, at one point, a box of Mike and Ikes, but they've pretty much been devoured at this point. I was going to make some rice crispy treats and try that next. Maybe after this. . .
We had a fun long weekend. We went to my grandma's house to hang out with family for the 24th of July and for my dad's birthday. It was a good trip and our new car treated us well on the drive. Which reminds me.
We got a new car. On our last little excursion, our car broke down. We were in Logan Canyon, without cell phone service, which was a tiny bit annoying. Anyway, turns out the car is dead for good so we bought a new one. It's a 2008 Mazda6. We absolutely love it! It's been a real treat.
I have a last day of work picked out. It's going to be the 27 of August. At first I couldn't decide if I wanted to work right up until the baby came or if I wanted to take a few weeks off in between. The only reason I was hesitant to taking a few weeks is because I was afraid I would be bored. But I've been making a list of things I can do around the house and yard to keep me busy so I'm very excited about the time off.
Maybe I'll throw a party in my spare time. You're all invited.

Baby Stress
Please take a look to the right where it now says that there are 88 days to go before baby time.
I'm starting to feel a little stressed about getting everything ready for the baby before he shows up. I want to wait until after the baby showers to do major shopping, but I also want to start doing shopping now for several reasons: 1: I'm still at a reasonable size to be walking around stores 2: I want to buy stuff at yard sales that are going on that are not going to be going on in September and October 3: It's getting close and I would like to feel more prepared.
Other than that things are good. The baby's doing great, Blake's doing great, I'm doing great. We're just working, hanging out, you know, livin' the life here.
