New Years Eve '08

Cory is sick
so we're spending the waning hours of 2008 surfing the web on our respective laptops and watching vhi top 100 hard rock videos...
He just found this and it made me laugh so hard I almost went into labor...ALMOST being the operative word....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Update: Thanksgiving and pics from Jen's wedding

Since I have eliminated my job and school responsibilities and have nothing to do but wait (and hang out with Cory and Lindsay...and read Twilight that I got for Christmas...and play with my new I phone...it's actually pretty ideal although you do start to forget all those things you "needed" to do pretty quickly when you actually have time to do them...) I thought I'd update with pics from Thanksgiving weekend. One of my long-time friends Jen got married to Russ Perkins and it was wonderful to be there in the temple with them and to go to the reception and see how cute and happy they are-- YAY for Jen and Russ!!!!!

About a week before the wedding we took jen out and made her wear this silly bachelorette crown...sadly, .she refused to keep it on the whole night because it just suits her SO well!!!

Cory proving his manliness by carving the Thanksgiving Turkey at my mom and Larry's house
The random crowd at Thanksgiving dinner--Cory, me, Aaron, Larry's mom and Larry's son's Kevin friend Adam from his mission...the more the merrier :)
Cory, Lisa and Nick, and Kerri waiting outside the temple--it was raining that week but turned out to be a PERFECT AZ november day
The happy couple right as they came out!!!

All of us girls with the beautiful bride!!! Kerri, Shannon, Jen, Lisa, and Becca, and me :)
Jen and Russ cutting their cake at the reception--she did not disappoint and smashed it all over him soon after this....The reception was really fun and I got to see my friend Erin and Julie from high school that I haevn't seen in forever!!! (and of course meet their adorable children!!)

so yeah, there's an update on pics...and still no baby...starting to get desperate :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I hope everyone is enjoying after Christmas sales!!!

Just made an appointment for tomorrow to activate my iPhone.

the cat's favorite room....

The baby's room is DONE!!! Cory did a great job with the paint and it's all ready to go...just waiting for little jackson, jefferson, harrison, monroe, hamilton, nixon, or whatever to come home!!! SO let's get this business started!!! (oh and notice the stuffed dog in the crib..that was cory's when he was little...I thought it was a bit on the ugly side but it's a puppet and he makes the cutest voices with it!!)

I'm so excited to be done with work, school, and everything and just be hanging out getting ready for christmas and watching chick flicks with my sister in law--I seriously NEVER thought I would survive the semester and I feel so incredibly blessed that things have turned out so well--And now I get to have a BABY!!! I know this wasn't what we were planning right now but it's just wonderful and I feel so lucky to be on the cusp of a whole new phase in my life -YAY BABIES!!!!!

Is not amused by the ubiquity of the snow effect on many websites. I feel like I have floaters in my eyes.

36 week pictures

My WONDERFUL friend Angela was in town so I took advantage of her amazing photography skills and had her take some christmas/prego pics of Cory and I last week. She truly did an awesome job--anyone who can make someone as pregnant as me look good deserves a cookie!!! As far as the baby goes--less then a month now--I have finals next week and than about a week of work and than I will be SO ready (around Dec 20) hopefully baby boy brown will be ready too :)
Here is a link to Angela's photography blog if you want to see a few more
