Month in Review

Image
Sooo...we're glad February is behind us. Here's a few highlights of how our month went: 1)Brian's LSAT disappointment. Does this need anymore explanation? 2)Car trouble. In case you didn't know, we are driving the same van that my parents got when I was in high school. After a week and a half in the shop, we were told that it needed a transmission and that would be $1200, please. Everyday I recite this mantra "I grateful for a car, I'm grateful for a car." On the plus side, it has been the source of a lot of jokes. Jen's new nickname for it: the Shortbus. 3) Skip. This is a guy that Brian went to high school and church with and came to visit us after our wedding. He got us a ice cream maker. He was just arrested for murdering his parents. When I met him, he was working at Wells Fargo. When he killed his mom and dad, he was a professional gambler. How does that happen in a few years? As my brother would say, "Judas." 4) School.

It's on the same level of coolness as a lightning bolt scar. What was her mom thinking, feeding her chocolate? I took this picture while driving and someone was honking behind me. I just couldn't pass up getting a shot of the winter not-so-wonderland we are living in right now. We've been dumped on...just another reminder of why Logan has never been a favorite place for me. I've seen some people pull out Christmas stuff as a joke, but general consens...

What to Expect When You Didn't Expect to be Expecting

Remember all those health problems that started in Utah and blew up in Miami? And all those scans and blood work and months of bedridden madness? And there was a nodule on my thyroid and all kinds of messed up weirdness? And then I moved to NY and stopped having all the issues? We never expected to have kids. It was assumed that we were a four person family and we were happy this way.. He's good with the girls. I knew I was pregnant for full weekend before I told anyone. I needed a good three days to silently panic, curse (not really, I never curse), elate, sleep, and repeat the cycle a million times throughout those days. We were in the middle of impossible circumstances that I couldn't see anyway out of.  So I came clean on Monday morning. A week or two ago. And it was met with a pretty emotional reaction on all sides.  All Jacob has ever secretly wanted was a baby. But he won't admit it. Hannah has been wanting something to take care of. To dress...
