The Down-There Doc
Tried to call the DTD (Down-There Doc) today to have a look at my darling fetus and got totally chewed out! Lame! Sad! Ew! When I called for an appt, I had to spell it out for the poor receptionist who bless her heart was NOT very sharp. I had to keep saying things like "I'm preggers!" and "Preggo my eggo!" and "My oven has a bun in it!" and "I'm nourishing JJWT's righteous seed in my fertile gardenbed!" til she FINALLY got it. THEN she started asking me grossss personal questions like when I had my last (.). I write this (.) instead of the actual word because I don't want to be disgusting. Why would she ask me that!? Sick! Anyways, I told her I was 3 weeks preggo and apparently that's "not" really "possible." TEARS! I visualized patience, then was all, look sweetie, I am DEFIANTLY preggers and NOT afraid to explain to you exACTly how I know. She was like, save the details for the doc! Oh my bratty! Apparently you can't go to the DTD til 10 weeks! TEN WEEKS! That's like half a pregnancy!!!
But other than that, things are PERFECT. Love you!

A Cheesecake Hair Miracle!
THEN we set the universe record for fun by going on a group date to Cheesecake (holy cow, just writing that made me crave it, *INSERT SQUEAL*)! We hit up the Cheese with 45 of our CFF (closest couple-friends) and did our most favorite creative activity...
...
took pics of ourselves pointing at our plates! CRAZY!!!
Also, I'm thinking about becoming a photoGRAPHer.

freshbaked luvfun

Honest, 12-3 every day can seriously WEAR a girl OUT and I was just sick of working my cute preggo butt off, even though I have the best job ever and couldn't love it more. I just needed to kick back and have some ME time, you know?! I asked my dad to give JJWT the day off, he said YES (thanx, Daddy!!) and then we had the funniest/craziest time ever! LOVED IT :)! First, we went on a huge hike and JJWT is the most active person IN THE WORLD, so no suprise, my sweet Angelbabe totally kicked my trash. But if we're being honest, my tan is better so it basically evens out. Anyways, me and AngelMuffin both did way good and got an awesome workout and some legit nature time, THEN we munched a yummy lunch which was so delish I could just EAT IT UP. Which I did! Totally crave eating now that I'm preggo, weird I know. THEN AngelTart took me shopping...I love Anthro, and I am NOT just saying that to be cool because everyone loves it, but because I love LOVE love it (insert pics of what he bought me here). So excited for AngelBun to graduate school so he can take me shopping even more! THEN went to my fam's new pool and just laid out in my modest bikini. Guess what, you can totally see my baby bump already I swear!! But only bc I started out so skinny, at least, that's what everyone says. (CanNOT beLIEVE I am 2 weeks along already, seems like we just barely found out and here we are, only 38 more weeks to go, insane or what?!) Anyways, after laying out and cuddling like crazy, AngelBearClaw and I caught a flick and smooched in the back row the whole time...sorry girls, he's TAKEN. THEN, we went up the canyon and had a ginormous bonfire with tonz of our favorite couples and played cards til so late! All our friends were being so spaztic, literally laughed my head off (don't worry, a 13th article way, not spacious building). It was extra fun bc AngelFritter and I beat everyone else at Phase 10 & Texas Hold'Em and then got to cuddle in a hammock for like 4 hours while our friends took pictures of us that I accidentally erased when trying to get blogger to post them as 11x17s...SAD! Anyway, cute AngelBiscuit & I had a great day and I feel bad that it was so fun when your day was prolly a little lame (not to be rude). Mini-vaycays are the best! Love you, loaf of angel!

Campin' Up!
Seriously, if I didn’t know about the plan I’d totally be Buddhist because I just really GET meditation and all that. There is DEFINATELY nothing better in this world than roughing it! It’s so fun to just go up to my family’s cabin and look at the things that make up our beautiful world and feel so greatful. Love just looking at nature at night while I sit in the hot tub with a 44 ouncer of DC (bad I know, I’m off it now), and my cute pink ipod blaring, and just BEING with nature, soaking it up til I get pruney. Fun! This time I remembered to bring a couple celeb mags, which made it even better! But, poor Britney, ever since she lost her virtue, she’s packed on 30 ell-bees…so gross. Anyways, I LOVE that enviro when I can just meditate and look at trees and birds while I text my friends and pop my gum. Totally centered. Roughing it is the best! JJWT looks so cute when he doesn't shave for a day or two. Plus, the king-sized beds at the cabin are way harder than ours so I definitely felt like I was in the wild. I know it’s not the jungle or anything, but still, way different, plus the tub up there doesn’t even have jets! So you can basically call me a way cuter Laura Ingles Wiler, or whatever that chick’s name was on that prairie show. I consider myself very down-to-earth because I love nature, love camping, love roughing it, love my stallion of a hubby!
Felt way bad for our friends Kyle and Britni though...they didn’t get to go FUN-camping, they had to go TENT-camping. Ew.

here ya go!!
Q: Which Prophet/Mormon/Pioneer ancestor will you name your baby after?
A: Ugh...none! Not to be rude, but what the BOAR-RING and OVERdone! We need something as unique as we are sooo I had the best idea EVER and compiled this list, we're gonna choose a syllable from each row, maybe even out of mason jars and then VOILA! Mixnmatch!
1: Ash/Jay/La/Ky/Hay
2: kay/la/l/br/d
3: lin/ee/ly/en/yn
totally cute + totally fun = totally adorable!
Q: What's your calling in your ward and how do you make it awesome?
A: Ooh, fun question!! I'm the Mia Maid advisor and the love is seriously so everywhere. THEY HEART ME like cuh-razy because it's like, I barely just WAS them, and it is weird but cool for them because I'm young like them, AND I'm married! Love being a role model! Plus, sometimes we swap gawdy jewelry and semi-skanky boots. Also I help them do good at improving (setting meaningful personal goals, for example). Last week we made super tight shirts that say "Modest is hottest!" and this week they'll learn about service by making me a paper chain to countdown the days til my baby is born and covering each inch of each paper with adorable darling stamps...SO EXCITED! Only 272 days to go!!
Q: Are you going to have your baby naturally? Are you going to breastfeed?
Ew, you guys! Those are the grossest questions ever! Why do you have to be negative and disgusting about something as cute as my baby??! Blechy! I don't do pain and I definately don't do messy. Why worry about serious slash boring details like that when there are color swatches to find, quilts to make, floating blog fetuses to watch, pictures of my belly to take, alarmingly big headbands to buy??!
Q: Please describe your first kiss with JJWT in as much detail as possible.
A: Oh my swoon! Love that guy! This may be crazy I know, but we kissed before we ever held hands because holding hands is more special, but however our first smoochy was divine and happened just the way it was suppose to. Have you heard this song?
Q: What do you guys call it? Do you "have s-e-x"? Do you make love? Do you "lie together in the marital way"? Just curious.
A: Oh, you mean nuzzling?

this little light of mine
Oh my SCARY! JJWT and I had to give talks today! I had everything all typed up, but when I went to print my talk off this morning the printer wouldn't work...! Meltdown! Soooo, I had to make due and just bring my laptop. And guess what? I forgot to turn it on before I got up so totally stood there in dead silence at the pulpit while it booted up...blech. So embarrassed!
Anyways, I got this awesome email fwd (Thanx, Lynzi!) last week that I decided to use as my theme, about how guidance ends in DANCE, so we dance with God and let him lead the way, get it? I'm obsessed with dancing so I had a total aha moment and just knew everyone else would love it too. BUT it was crazy hard because I had to introduce us too, and there is tonz to say about our happily ever after! I was super nervous but visualized peace. IT WORKED which was so neat since the universe had already sent me a great (and I mean GREAT) hair day! Jackpot!! I did awesome and barley even looked at my notes...so good!
JJWT did a better job, he's a natural speaker I swear, well, at least he WOULD of, but he didn't get a chance because I accidentally took up the whole meeting...whoopsydaisies! Too bad, but also way too good, because I started out by telling the so stinkin' cute story of how we met. When I said that I got engaged twice while JJWT was on his mish, which is a whole nother story, everyone looked so shocked slash interested that I just KNEW they needed some deets. By the time I finished, we were out of time and I hadn't even read the forward yet! Crazy! So, I skipped over all the poems from my cousin's EFY counselor and jumped straight to the fwd. Loved it, because it's seriously so true, when you look at "guidance" the G is for God, and then U and I dance with him. Get it? U AND I DANCE!! I LOVE stuff like that, simple yet profound both at the exact same time. Sort of like mine and JJWT's marriage (at least, that's what everyone says). So, church was cool, but I'm way bummed I'm not in your ward anymore, aren't you?!
July 10, 2008
Happy anniversary to ME! Well, us, but whatever.

July 9, 2008
the pwr of positive thinking!
I also don't want to turn into a tubbalard while I'm prego, so I am avoiding all chubbies. Slim is as slim hangs out with, right!? I hate to judge, so I'm sticking with the facts here...it is, after all, the LAW of attraction, and laws don't change. I mean, look at gravity!
July 8, 2008
luv @ home!
Hey everybody! As you can tell by my little floating blog fetus, things are getting CRAZY around here! I am totally going to take a picture of myself EVERY DAY so you can all SEE how BIG and PREGO I am getting! Don’t worry though, I am for sure going to be totally cute and way skinny! I am also going to try and see if there is some kind of PAGEANT I can enter the baby in before it is even born! Maybe I can enter in ultrasound pics or something?!?!
I am so GREATFUL that I kept the commandments growing up so my righteous womb could be a worthy, fertile bed of soil for JJWT’s seed! If I had kept my second pair of earrings in, WHO KNOWS!?! SO thankful for the plan and since we will soon have a marriage license AND our adorable floating fetus’s birth certificate, it's like I'll totally have the degree in Family’n’Consumer studies that I never actually finished, so I can totally offer you advice on how to make you guyses marriage almost as good as JJWT’s and I’s!! I am...
seriously, so blessed.
For reals you guys,
So right then and there, I called my mom--EMERGENCY!!--and told her I was FREAKING OUT, and she told me that it wasn’t JJWT who was making me cry, it was probably just the Red Mango/Pinkberry/Spoon Me I ate with her that morning that had non-organic fruit in it and was making me sick! Good thing the fruit of our loins IS organic unlike whatever made me sick! Anyways, she said it was either that, or I was ovulating! So giddy to hear that! So to make a long story short, it DEFINITELY wasn’t JJWTs fault. Phew! I decided to make one more SACRIFICE and give JJWT the melk he wanted because I'm an unselfish giver!! He was so greatful that when we decided to try that night for our baby and the details are so private and so special but we totally conceived THAT INSTANT! Pure magic. I felt it and everything! I haven’t ACTUALLY taken a prego test yet…because I don't NEED to. I just KNOW because THAT’S how in tune I am, and that is why our marriage totally works! SACRIFICE.

personal improvement
mY gOaLs:
- Eat better and definitely less.
- Compliment one ugly person each day. This will make them fill SUPER good since they prolly have low self-esteem and never get attention.
- Go on a fun vay-cay. Vay-cays are great to DE-STRESS from my crazy-busy life!!
- Pray for others to find as much happiness as I have, exspecially darling Deanna on The Bachelorette. I am excited and disappointed all at the same time! I mean, is Jesse or Jason seriously marriage material, Deanna?!? I am worried about her now that she sent Gram home, and seriously can’t handle it if she has to stay single. BLECH! SO greatful for prayer.
- Read anything Oprah tells me to.
- Put a cute card (made with Stampin' Up! products) on my mirror that says "The most important things in life aren't things" in a really darling way.
- Shop til I can't help but drop! This is SUCH a fun way to bond with my mom. She pays for everything AND we get the same things since she loves to "dress young" and hasn't come to grips with the fact that she's 20 years older than me!
- Give to others. For example, I will try to give one box of cute shoes to the sweet homely girl I visit teach. She NEVER has cute shoes and I have tons that I don’t wear anymore because they’re from last year so out of style, but like she’ll even know that.
