Hi guys! Hope your weekend was AWESOME. Mine can seriously be summed up in 6 words:
Yay for weddings, boo for boring.
Yesterday we had Sunday dinner at JJWT's fam's which was WAY fun and tasty (splurged and had TWO BITES of desert, bad I know, blame the feti) and got the seriously big news...JJWT's bro is FINALLY engaged!!!
He and Ruth have been dating like a YEAR so we'd basicly all given up hope. So, wedding = YAY! But honestly, I just don't GET her. Hate to judge slash be a downer, but she's going to be apart of our fam, and not that many people read this blog anyway, and it IS my journal, and I DO need help so I'm gonna share...bless her heart, not to judge, I'm worried. HELP!!
Why I call her Red-Flag Ruth:
First of all, they're getting married in the FREEZING COLD winner. Ack!! May-June-July or BUST. And seriously, not a big deal, but she hasn't even HEARD of etsy. Plus, she goes to GREAT CLIPS...gross. She's from a broken home which is weird and sad but mostly weird...no offense, but seriously, who wants to marry a bummer?? And I just think she might be a tad old-fashioned bc poor girl still has a flip-phone. She recycles, she ALWAYS has boring nails and not ONCE in the year they've been dating have I seen her wear hills. Sad. And she served a mission.
On PURPOSE.
STATESIDE.
Plus, their thinking about getting married in a temple BESIDES SALT LAKE and--this is not a joke--they might not even have a reception. And not to be rude but isn't there just something freaky about a girl who gets breast REDUCTION surgery?? Weirder still, SHE'S in law/biz/med/dental and guess what HE'S gonna be?? A TEACHER. It's like they hate prosperity and the Family Proc or something. Guys, she's going to be my twinses AUNT!! Should I say something?? Am I being uptight or is this a prompting???

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Kirby Heyborne Edition
Token Asian Friend asked, "If your life were made into a Halestorm movie, what role would Kirby Heybourne play?"
(wistful sigh) Biggest no-brainer EVER, and seriously perfect for Flashback Friday...the Kirbs would def play Blake, my ex-fiance Ryan's older brother who made out w/ me (wholesomely) the day after I called off Ryan and me's wedding, back when JJWT still had 22 mos left on the mish. I wanted to be sensitive to Ry so I waited til the day AFTER I called it off.
I'd ALWAYS thought Blake was a hottie, but it was tough to get flirty amidst all of Ry's sniffles (DOWNER), but the next day when Blake leaned in, I knew it was way right, and TOTALLY worth the awkardness that Sunday at dinner when JJWT's mom asked me about the curling iron burns. Anyways, even though love LOVE love my hot hubby and would never WANT to smooch another, I should prolly play myself in the movie just for authenticities sake, so as an actor fulfilling my professional duty I would definately smooch Kirb. Kirb's perfect for the part, bc just like Blake, he's cute, blonde, WAYYY older than me and righteous. At least, Kirb USE to be righteous right, but I heard he might of gone all a postate with beer. Sad.

school is making my heart a frowny!!!
Hey everybody! Thanx for making all of my best-birthday-ever wishes a realty!!! Even though it's Thankful Thursday and I'm way happy, I'm a little bummered out bc JJWT still has to go to school this week--EVEN though I'm double-preggo AND it's my bday week!!
Ew. Lame. Sad.
:(
Even though edge-cation has always been number #1 in my family, sometimes you just need to put family first like when I took a semester of hair school off to focus on my wedding...not to brag but that was my priority so I was willing to set my career a side. School is the worst! PUKE. And for my poor hub-babe and HIS school, it's all way hard, numbers and stats and anatomies and trademarx and NASTY stuff...no flat irons, no nothing! It's just like when I got my hair degree and the meanies tried to make me take "science" and "math" even though geez, makeup and highlights ARE science and honestly, shopping involves like a buttload of math. SO greatful my tearful tantrum got me outta that one! :) So, I'm teaching my young womens to stand up for themselves, turn on the tears and not learn useless numbers-crud bc hello if it's just for backup slash example to your kids, why the H should you have to take all the yawners?? Plus you seriously won't use it, I mean, I'm married and preggo and there's like a 90 percent chance I'll NEVER use stats.
Ew. Lame. Sad.

Woohoo for Wednesday
OMGOSH! Could you guys get any awesomer? Those birthday idizz were the BEST! Since I'm double preggo and double happy, I couldn't help but pick double winners: Mhana who said JJWT should get me a billboard (too late now, but my half-birthday's not that far and this could also be a fun idea for my maternity shower, baby shower, post-partum shower, blessing, etc.), AND La Yen who suggested I sign my MiaMaids out for lunch and let the HS boys see how cute I am so they'll be inspired to get someone so awesome AND give the receipts to the bish bc it's a church activity...what the GENIOUS! Yay for you and for me and for all of us! Pick out a shirt & email me your choice at seriouslysoblessed at yahoo dot com and pat yourself on the back for doubling my birthday week joy. Honorable mentions Kristina (darling preggers body casts) and Whitney (riding a float through downtown SLC with a sign that says "It's my birthday and I'm pregnant with twins!") get a cute package of special VIP "Your life is a kick-A fairytale" greeting cards so email me your mailing address! BAAA!
Here're some things YOU can do to celebrate my birthday week:
Here're some things YOU can do to celebrate my birthday week:
- take your own self out for a mani/pedi!
- if you're preggers or gonna be or know someone who is, pick up a darling new hottest fetus ever shirt. If your not preggo or if wearing a crowned fetus freaks you out you can also get a mini vaycay one, a DC one, a Kick-A fairy tale one...must I go on? Limited edition so don't flip out when they're sold out bc you got fair warning.
- if your feeling sassy and rebellious, get a GINORMOUS diet coke or fro yo!
- bleach your teeth, hair or BOTH
- work out then walk around in your workout clothes all day bc sleeves are for work and you're taking an e-BFF's-birthday vaycay so that means wear whatever you want!
- part of your bday week pres to me can also be voting for me since I've been nominated for an award!! BAAA! Seriously guys, I wish it were Flashback Friday so I could tell you this is JUST like HS when I won best eyes, best hair, best smile, best dressed and most likely to be a MILN (what does that even mean? Prolly something darling...) You have to register (lame) but just give them your spam address and seriously, aren't I worth it? If I win I get a GC--my fave--I'll get some Anthro pants and you'll win too bc you'll get to see me blog about them! Win-win! Brother Covey would be way proud!

ew I feel SO ANCIENT!!
Happy best birthday ever to me!
JJWT has been SUCH a stud and has already made the day indiscribably magical even though its still morning!!! I was way tired from being a SAHP and (nervous throat clear) working so hard to get some cute new tees ready to go for you!! He knew I wanted to keep things low-key, so this morning angelbiscuit woke me up with two fetus-shaped low-fat pancakes in honor of my twins AND a scavenger hunt with TONS of fun suprise presents at every stop...I left all the instructions carefully laid out on the counter last night and he followed them PERFECT!! Way to go babe! I've been hiding pics in his car and nummy lunches of me frozen-smile-clutching various items so he FINALLY got them all from Anthro and know what's weird? He ALSO got me everything I blogged about, AND a ginormous spa package and a new iphone bc my one from July was huge and old and lame, AND a new kitchenaid, AND some vinyl for our wall that says "The most important things in life aren't things." SO CUTE! Plus I peaked (bad, I know) and tonight he's going to suprise me with tickets for a cruise to Cabo! We might go on wick and food stamps to afford it but I figure our sanity slash relaxation is worth it and we'll pay it all back in taxes later so what the heck! Love you babe!!
Guys, my hottie hubby is seriously the BEST--not only did he buy me everything I so lovingly demanded, AND get me a new fountain diet coke (I'm off it now) when the one I had during my morning pedi started grossing me out bc I was craving crushed not cubed (do I NOT SAY THAT EVERY TIME!?!?), he's even typing this blog post for me as I dictate it to him from my bubble bath! What else should I do today??? Whoever submits my favorite idea gets a free shirt of their choice! LOVE YOU!!

you're questions: fights and modesty
Kristen asked, "Do you and JJWT fight? How do you guys handle arguments?"
(deep breath). Umm...AWKWARD. Okay, love you and know you didn't mean to be mean, but not to rude, but the fact that you even asked that shows me that you obviously don't know us very well nor do you know what we stand for slash hold dear. Seriously guys, talk about two pees in a pod. Our twins are gonna have the best fam lifes EVER. Know how some people say, "We don't argue, we just disagree"? Our ever after is so happily we don't even DISAGREE--our opinions slash preferences slash desires may DIFFER, but we defiantly don't disagree. We don't clash...we VARY. Being blessed with maturity and love is SO awesome, but it's sad too, because then WE have the challenge of not being able to relate when OTHERS talk about the challenges of marriage, so our perpetual ever-increasing bliss is actually lonely, in a kick-A burden-of-the-chosen sort of way. Sigh. SO greatful for the faith I have to pray for the patience to deal with our blessings.
Honolua88 asked, "How do I tell a modest bikini from an immodest one? Cuz I wanna look super sassy, but not skanky."
Modesty and fashion do NOT have to contradict thanx to this easy rule of thumb...the way to tell is simple, but it involves something yucky and gross-sounding that I don't want to type, but as long as it's covered, your TOTALLY modest. Rhymes with mipple.

Guess who went to the Down-There Doc yesterday? ME ME ME ME ME! It was special see-the-cuteness-of-my-innards day so I'm way happy. Yay for doctors! Yay for babies! Yay for families!

my pour guy friends!
Sam said: TAMN, I'm currently searching for my eternal companion, and your post for your searching sisters was great, but I'm a searching BROTHER! How/where do I find a girl even half as awesome as you!? And once I find her, what do I do to make her mine?
Seriously, great Q! SO glad you asked bc seriously, your attractive level is like your BMI but of even MORE eternal consequence. Single brethren, print this and put it under your pillow ASAP.
Seven Fab Ways To Snag Your Own Me
Seriously, great Q! SO glad you asked bc seriously, your attractive level is like your BMI but of even MORE eternal consequence. Single brethren, print this and put it under your pillow ASAP.
Seven Fab Ways To Snag Your Own Me
- Law/biz/medical/dental school is a m-u-s-t. If you can't get into those, chiropractor school is an acceptable backup. Teaching slash writing slash being good at cars or whatever else is fine for a hobby but NOT a job if you wanna seal the deal.
- Gym it up. If you can't actually GO to the gym a lot, def talk about it tons, keep a gym bag visible in the back seat, and act sore a lot. Its impeerically proven and ladies know it: six pack now --> stake pres later.
- Bring your camera EVERYWHERE and take a gazillion variations of these same 2 awesome pics: shot of your armpit as you hold the camera out with you guys smiling, shot of your armpit as you hold the camera out with you guys faking a serious pout. If you want to be taken seriously as a suitor, these pics should be on facebook within 2-4 hours.
- mention your mish ONLY IN PASSING. Plz, plz, plz, canNOT emphasize this enough...teensy stories are best bc entire stories are TOTAL yawners...if you insist on telling them, make 'em short and chalkful of things like brute strength and leadership experience. If you weren't AP you're probably outta your league, but if nothing else, worse case scenario you can throw in something about your eagle.
- Lines should be both smooth and to the point. "You look hot" is good, "You ARE hot" is better. "I always wanted to date someone spiritual" is good, "You could totally be a GA wife" is better. "Want to go to Anthro?" is good, "I want to take you to Anthro" is better. Must I go on?
- Heard of the no-touchy-in-the-strike-zone rule? What the nineteen eighties! Now it's the swimsuit rule (meaning, don't touch where a swimsuit would be) so thanx to modest bikinis there's TONS more leeway, but, DEFINITELY still keep both feet on the ground.
- Bring a notebook to firesides. Not to USE, as you'll ideally be busy playing with long multi-colored tresses and/or back scratching, but just carrying it speaks volumes about you.

- Two darling slash useful nursing covers, any ones you want, from Baby Coverz, a cute online boutique with tonz of darling changing pads, burp cloths, diaper clutches, funky car seat covers, etsetra. These are cute and great bc accidental boob exposure is only darling at the beach, NOT the mothers lounge.

- A set of "boo-boo bags" of your choice from Too Dizzy's Etsy Shop; freeze them or microwave them and they soothe all aches and pains. Sometimes I make JJWT warm mine up and then rub my back and feet bc lunching and relaxing and erranding all day makes me oober tired. BEST HUSBAND IN THE UNIVERSE.
- 2 pairs of your choice of the darling BabyLegs leg warmers from Tender Cargo, a natural baby gear co with tonz of cute earth-friendly stuff. Hate to be demanding but if no one gives me these cute things at my best shower ever, not to be rude but I might have to clutch-with-frozen-smile til JJWT gets me some (love you angelbabe!).
- A 5-card pack of your choice from the hilarious and darling Line Upon Line Cards (have you checked them out yet? They make me do my adorable snort laugh that JJWT finds so endearing).
- Any little outfit you want from the freaking adorable Appledonia shop; bazillions of cute onesies with elephants, froggies, piggies, you name it. I wonder if they'll make MY baby a onesie with one of our wedding pics on it, so when I look at the bebe it's like I'm looking at me...?
- A free portrait session from Green Apple Photography AND a complementary 8x10. They're in the Salt Lake Valley, so this is great for people who live in Zion or know someone in Zion or have the ability to come to Zion for some sweet slash gorgeous fam pics to put up by your dried flowers. This is just til I get MY photog business up and running tho, right guys???
- Darling vinyl wall art from ScribbleIt: a large Mr. Owl (10"h x 20"w) and small Knobby Knee birds (6"h) in the color of your choice to babe up your house!

You're Questions: young womens edition
Erin Spenc asked, "What's your favorite MiaMaid activity?"
Love activities! Swear they are always the best ever! Best is FUN service, like makeover nite, which is WAY more fun than dirty service like hobos or urchins.
Vanessa asked, "How do I get my MiaMaids to quit texting during lessons? It's a little distracting..."
Are you even being serious?? Not to be rude, but the answer is as obvious as my hubby is perfect: go w/ the flow. TEACH THE LESSON VIA TEXT. That's what I did last week and the girls love LOVE loved it and its catchyness. Here's my outline:

TAMNers goes to Washington!
Not literally guys. Didn't go to Washington purse-say, but since seriously EVERYONE keeps asking me tonz about voting and polticks (even though in my book, boring + complicated = LAME-O!), fine, I'll share my opinions. Usually I make my decision based on ribbon car magnets and whoever says "Freedom isn't free" the most, but this year is WAY more complicated. Sometimes current events and polticks makes people mean and mad, so plz plz plz nobody be fended, these are just my honest TAMN thoughts, ok??? Hope we can still be friendz if we disagree! Love you!!
*best experienced with speakers blasting*
My take on oh-eight: TAMNs poli-tickle opinion's
McCain: Ack! Get that grandpy some white strips, STAT. And seriously, your on TV, spit out your jawbreaker! I know mad is bad, but I'm still T.O.'d slash way bummered out that Mitt can't run anymore because he didn't get enough votes. I would of loved to of lived in a country with that kind of spiritual leadership and have our nation be led by a success story of a couple where the wife waited for her missionary JUST LIKE ME! So that's a downer...oh well...Mitt 2010!!
Sarah Paylin: So hard! It's like on one of my hands, girls rule, moms are the BEST, cute glasses are fun and you KNOW how much I lurve highlights. But on my other hand, hunting and teen pregnancies make me cry, and hockey = FREEZING and a little violent. So that's a toughie.
Obama: honestly, I love black people! They are the best! I went to high school with one and he was WAY fun, sporty and kicked trash on the dance floor, so I really GET black people, plus Brock has always been one of my FAVE boy names. I get tonz of email fwds about him but their usually long so I just skip 'em unless they have pics like this...hubba hubba! J/K, JJWT, love you more, but way to go Sister Obama on nabbing that! Betcha she used Dr. Pepper chapstick too ;)

So that's a downer...oh well...Mitt 2010!!
Sarah Paylin: So hard! It's like on one of my hands, girls rule, moms are the BEST, cute glasses are fun and you KNOW how much I lurve highlights. But on my other hand, hunting and teen pregnancies make me cry, and hockey = FREEZING and a little violent. So that's a toughie.
Obama: honestly, I love black people! They are the best! I went to high school with one and he was WAY fun, sporty and kicked trash on the dance floor, so I really GET black people, plus Brock has always been one of my FAVE boy names. I get tonz of email fwds about him but their usually long so I just skip 'em unless they have pics like this...hubba hubba! J/K, JJWT, love you more, but way to go Sister Obama on nabbing that! Betcha she used Dr. Pepper chapstick too ;)

Lifestyles of the hot and righteous
Hi guys! Anyone who knows me knows that I hate HATE hate, I mean, strongly dislike talking about myself, seriously, total giver. But, tonz of my e-BFFs have been sending in awesome Q's about JJWT and I's life so it seems like you want the inside scoop! Some of you want advice for your own personal kinundrums like how to loose weight or whiten teeth and others want to know specifics about Angelbabe and me's relationship, like our in-laws, neices and nephews, MiaMaid activity idizz, if I have any old letters from cutie's mish, if we hunt (EW!), if he ever called me on p-day, if he one any sells awards when he sold pest control/security systems, what pre-school our hottest fetus ever is going to, and on and on for infinity. So heres your chance! Ask away and I'll reveal my darling mystery's in an upcoming TAMN fack post (is that how you say it??). Love you!

Paper chain count down!
Guess who's birthday is almost here?? MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE! Don't want ANYTHING from JJWT for it, just a ginormous bare hug bc I = low-maintenance and just being oober excited to be married to such a supportive studly stallion is more then enough for me.
On a completely unrelated note, here is some stuff I love LOVE love.

Laber day!
BEST. WEEKEND. EVER! Funner than ever and I can't even handle it! The Pal houseboat adventure is my fave, AND we got to go with ALL my fam (love you mom!), ALL of JJWT's fam (love you, other mom! We're so close that best hubby ever & I call e/o's fam our own and I love LOVE love having 8 sisters now!!) AND 30 of our CCFs (closest couple friends) came too bc we are SUCH total butterflies! SO weird that all us girlz had the same modest bikinis, LOL! We ate a bumload of food (gobbled FOUR red vines...ack!! total splurge) and then everyone looked DARLING so we took eleven thousand pics--with sunglasses, without sunglasses, standing sideways so you can see my teased-up ponytail bump, kissy face, non kissy face, sassy bum pose, sassy hand pose, etsetra, etsetra. OFFICIALLY in LOVE and OBSESSED with being ADDICTED to boat-fun! Love Pal's GUTS!
Anyways, after TONS of boating, JJWT and my way tan self hit up church and heard an adorable talk on my fave scripture (forget where it is): I stand my tallest when I'm kneeling. Even tho I'm like a foot shorter when I kneel, still WAY uplifting. RS was neat but awkward bc not to judge, butt I announced like TWO MONTHS ago we were preggers and NO ONE has offered to give me a shower yet...not to be rude, but isn't that sort of rude? I was a pauled. So during the Good News Minute when someone was yapping on about cancer, blahblahblah, triplets born last week, yawnyawnyawn, I grabbed the mike and just invited everyone to my own shower! I'm better at games and invitations and treats and treat arrangements anyway so if I want it to be cute I guess I just needed to seeze the day! I took a few mins to explain about the day I knew I was preggers and how I haven't ben to the doc yet bc the receptionist was insensitive, but I'd already registered, and I explained how the stuff I really want is at PB kids so even tho I'm a Target addict, plz PLZ plz don't get me gifts from there, and all of a sudden the peeanist started playing the closing song! WHOOPSY! So greatful to be tan and now that I get to plan the party of the century the pressure's ON! Any idizz for my shower guys??
