DISNEYLAND!!

Hello everyone!

I haven't been posting entries for a  few days due to crazy times with the family being in town. If you know my peeps, then you would understand the total chaos and insanity that ensues when all of my family gets together. And you thought you couldn't get a word in edgewise with just me! :)
Well, here's a little mini update: Giada and I are going to visit our dear Aunt Colleen on Friday, and while we are there, we are going to Disneyland! Grandma and Auntie Erin are going as well! Rob unfortunately, has to work, but I am grateful for such a loving and hard-working husband, who is dedicated to taking care of 'his' girls. I am excited to see Giada's reaction to Disneyland, though if it's like the zoo, she will notice the fence, grass, and the interior of her stroller more than a gigantic giraffe that stood directly over her. Oh well, the fun is more for her Mommy anyway, since I haven't been to Disneyland in nearly a decade. It should be a fun trip.

On the Mother's side note, let me tell you about how it goes with packing for a baby. SO, my daughter is not even 20 pounds, and I have a list literally a mile long full of items that she will need for a weekend away from Utah. What am I bringing? Clothing, toothbrush, some makeup, PJ's, underwear, etc. How much space do you think that I will get in my suitcase for my stuff? For a medium sized roller bag; probably the outer pocket. I have to bring food, clothing, diapers, portable bed thing, etc., for Giada. Not to mention the baby carseat, and her stroller. I also have to entertain her while she sits on my lap for almost two hours. I hope I don't get a mean passenger sitting next to me! But other than these things, I look forward to more adventures with my baby girl. Of course, the most exciting thing for me: having my daughter meet my Aunt, who is a remarkable woman, as her husband is dying of cancer, and she doesn't have any children, grandchildren, etc. This trip is primarily meant as a bit of sunshine for her during this dark time. My baby is like her grandbaby as well, and I am excited for the two girls to finally meet.

To end my entry, I would just like to add to the void out there, that no matter what happens, I am getting me a churro at Disneyland. I have craved one of those bad boys for 10 years (especially when I was pregnant-and no, the Costco churros DO NOT taste the same)! I am looking forward to its doughy, sweet deliciousness!

  1. It was great to see you guys last weekend! We had a really good time. Say hi to Colleen from me! I'm so with you about Costco churros--they're not that great.

New teeth, and new taste!

Giada has finally got a full little chicklet smile on the front of her mouth! She cut the two top front teeth just a couple of days ago. However, I believe that there are more coming in, because other than being her cute and happy self, she's been a little extra fussy (and drool-y). Her favorite thing to do? Try to bite Mom and Dad's noses and cheeks! She thinks it's hilarious when we pull away in pain. And don't even get me started on the cat. The poor thing gets tufts of fur yanked out every day. It's also a good thing that her tail is so firmly attached. How do we know that for sure? Gia's tried to pull it off, almost every day. Poor cat. But, before you go feeling too sorry for her, just remember that the cat holds her own. She's pawed and pounced on Gia a number of times to let her know whose still the boss at the house (or at least that's what she believes. That's okay...a delusional cat is a happy cat). On another note, Giada's palate f...

My Faith in Christ

 Today.  Today, over six months ago, I awoke to the realization that all of the events of the night before, had really happened.  I had watched my Dad die.  After years of watching his health decline; from him hobbling around in his custom-made boot, to a walker, and, finally, a wheelchair. Taking him from one appointment to another, where every visit was just more bad news.  Every phone call and visit with him mattered more, after he was given his death sentence of one to six months-especially when we knew that the six months was highly optimistic. "I've lived a good life," he told me over the phone after we received the news. "I'm not afraid to die."  But I was afraid. I was afraid that what I had been taught all my life would not be true when the moment came for my dad to leave this life for the next. What if Jesus didn't really overcome death? What if there is nothing after this life? This Easter weekend is the first time when I can relate to Jesus...

Completely Honest

 I am going to be completely honest and say that I am doing this post for school. I have been HORRIBLE about keeping up with this blog (as in, this is my first post in over almost a year and a half), but I am glad that I am posting right now, even if it is for a school assignment. Because...I'm back in school! It's crazy, because it wasn't really in my plan to start on the BYU Pathways program and then get accepted to Ensign College, where I am working towards a degree in Applied Communications.  Yet, here I am! I am currently learning more about Social Media Marketing, and how, surprisingly, blogs are very much still in mode, and can be very useful platforms, just like Facebook, Instagram, etc. I am very much out of my element in taking the classes that I am in, but I am learning so much, and so quickly, too! It's a direct testament to the fact that the Lord has been blessing me with understanding and comprehension. He even had me pass my math class back during my BYU ...
