A Sunday morning exchange

Me: Can I still wear my polka dot dress even though I'm not pregnant? Jesse: I don't see why not. I've seen non-pregnant women wearing polka dots plenty. Me: I was wondering if I could wear the dress because it's a maternity dress, not because it's got polka dots. Jesse: Oh. Isn't my husband the [...]

Thirty years

I've had trouble with birthdays the last few years. Every year since I turned twenty-four, it's been harder and harder. The momentum I created of freaking out about birthdays got so bad that I've been referring to this birthday as my twenty-tenth every time anyone asked me how old I was. Today I am thirty. [...]

Three years and true measures of love and devotion

As Jesse mentioned previously, we just celebrated our third wedding anniversary. Three years ago, Jesse and I came to the mutual conclusion that what really matters is the marriage and not the wedding so we invited our parents (Tuesday) to join us for an extremely small and private ceremony (Saturday). Since then, I think we [...]

Be Kind, Rewind

Jesse and I saw this movie tonight after driving all the way to West Jordan to get a hose for our new dishwasher only to find out that Sears doesn't actually carry them. So what do you do at 10pm on a Saturday night when you've driven to the other side of the WORLD for [...]

The peeping was a gateway drug (Or: Annabelle, the Bumlicker)

Annabelle has this incredibly adorable and funny habit of peeping on Jesse when he's in the shower.  A couple days ago, she even got so curious what was going on in there that she JUMPED in the shower with him. She got out pretty quick and it was more funny than anything else. But this [...]

Adventures in Zion: New Picture Album

Go check out the new photo album with pictures from our trip.

Christmas: It brings out the Tourette’s in everyone, I suppose.

Yesterday Jesse and I decided to brave the stores to get gifts for those last few people on our list. We were out and about for 3½ long and terrible hours, getting almost nothing accomplished, before our day of fun ended with this happy note:

When age-old wisdom meets puppy training…

So last night we get home from work and notice that Chloe has chewed a hole in her brand new bed (the replacement bed for the first one she chewed up) and stuffing from the bed was strewn about all over the living room floor. We scolded her, of course, and then sat around talking [...]

We watched The Phantom of the Opera movie tonight

This was my first time watching the movie and Jesse's first experience with the storyline in any way, shape or form. Two direct Jesse quotes that I love: "I didn't know Andrew Lloyd Webber was involved in this!" This beauty came out in the opening credits. Awesome. And also… "Fickle women are dumb." Indeed. 

Some inappropriateness I think my Bishop would approve of…

So on Sunday at the end of Sunday School, Jesse got up to leave (I get to stay because it's in the Relief Society room). The positioning of the chairs doesn't leave a whole lot of room so as he's scooting by me, he's nearly sitting on my lap. I may or may not have [...]
