Birth Month

February is the maddest, craziest month. I love it.

First we have Ben's Birthday. We played all day, xcountry skied, ate delicious foods and played with family. He really is the darlingest boy I've ever met and I'm SO  grateful that he was born just in time for me! I'm pretty sure we couldn't wait to be together, that's why we're only 8 days apart!

Fancy cheeses at The Copper Onion!

It was a family affair

Then we have Valentin's day. This could possibly be the best Valentine's day I've ever had....ever. That'a a big deal yo! The day started out quietly until I realized (per text) that ben had snuck a valentine in my purse. A massage!!! A MASSAGE PEOPLE! best valentine ever! So I have yet to take advantage of my gift in SLC but it's in the works! The day was already won when, during lunch, I got called down to the office. And there, my dream come true, was a beautiful bouquet of roses and red carnations that was lovely! I was so happy! I squealed inside like a little girl! They are still sitting on my desk, even though all the roses have died (I threw them away don't worry). ANyway, the flowers we'rent even the best part! It also came with the sweetest note from the love of my life that made me almost cry and have to go into the hallway to call Ben because I was so excited :) ah, great day. Oh yes, then of course we went to Bombay House for dinner  and had all the delicious foods we could stuff in our mouths! WE had the best time chatting and laughing and eating. One of my favorite days so far I think!

Lastly cam my Birthday. More on that later. I'm pooped.

Brave People

I've never been surrounded by so many brave people in my life. I probably cry on a daily basis because it's overwhelming! So many brave people and kind and amazing.

My Husband's aunt is a new foster mom of three siblings and every time I read her blog I get teary- she is amazing! She claims to gain all this strength from those around her but it's so obvious that she is the one who is wowing everyone. I cannot even imagine the love that woman emanates. Sheesh!

My sister is having a baby...like tomorrow.....I just barely got up the courage to pay for a dog that's not eve born yet! ( I know, get over it people, i'm getting a puppy instead of a baby). She is so ready for this baby to come! That girl can love a baby no matter whose or where it's from--her capacity for love is massive. She has all the cribs and bouncing things and onezies and I'm so impressed that she is so calm. I'm sure she's scared to death inside but I'm still ridiculously impressed.

Ben. If there was a braver person I'd like to meet them. This boy goes to class everyday, comes home, takes care of me (usually does the dishes since I despise it) goes to some ridiculous 3 hour MCAT class then comes home to do homework. He never stops! And really he never complains! I'm absolutely obsessed with him....I can't believe he would sacrifice so much time and energy just so that he can get into medical school and provide for us. He's too amazing, I'm a lucky girl.


just wow. I don't even have anything artistic or beautiful to say because I can't even think straight. These people are inspiring and beautiful and someday I wish to be so bold and so brave.

PUPPY ALERT!!!

Good news everyone. My puppy may or may not be brewing!!!

RIGHT NOW!

HOly Hannah I can hardly contain  myself. I seriously have wanted this puppy for a year now and I've just been waiting patiently! The breeder emailed me that the mom bred last week and hopefully she'll be pregnant! That means she should have the baby at the beginning of April and I should have my puppy at the end of May!!!

HOO-RAH!

seriously. I'm excited.

Dogs are only pregnant for two months, which is fantastical, then they need to be with their mommy for another 6-9 weeks. So I'm hoping to get her after I get out of school and we move back to MI.

oh my heavenly days I"m thrilled. This puppy will not only be the death of me, cuteness wise, but it will also satisfy baby hunger for the time being :) YAY!

that is all. You are all dismissed.
