3.21 Friend


I know its cliche to say...'marry your best friend'...and honestly we didn't start out as friends but as coworkers, then we dated, fell in love, got engaged and my husband grew into my best friend.  He's who I turned to for everything.  We can do nothing and everything together.  Neither of us have too many close friends up here...we've meet some great people but it takes years to build strong friendships.  We left behind very very close friends in LA but both of us lived there for close to 6 years, and before that we both left very close college and high school friends behind.  Luckily we both do a pretty good job of keeping in touch with friends far away.  I know we will meet people through our little bundle of joy...parenting classes, school, doctors, etc. But for now I'm happy to call my husband my best friend and I hope it stays that way for the rest of our lifetime together.  Instead of  taking one awkward picture of Rollie yesterday I've decided to make a little montage of us throughout the years...we just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary last week and 6 years together.  Love you baby!

    So sweet!!! I can so relate to the friend thing. Making friends is do much harder than anyone thinks! Moving for us was the best decision!!!!! Making friends will come over time, but in the meantime our relationship has gotten so much better!!! Such a cute post Jeni!!!

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginatio...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that...

21 Weeks

21 weeks Cooking time: 21 weeks, 1 day Weight gain: +4...I'm thinking from here on out it will probably be 1 pound a week since it was slow to come on in the beggining.  I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I've been called small by several people that know how far along I am.  I've struggled with weight since college, so maybe this is god's kind way of saying...you won't be one of those people who put on 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Maternity clothes: oh yeah...I LOVE my grey maxi skirt from Target, I think I'll go grab the black one tonight :) Food cravings: red meat still...had a nice burger for lunch today and chocolate...I indulged in a bit too much Easter candy Food dislikes: frozen peas are the only thing I've found so far Missing: Sleeping through the night and beer...I've really been craving a nice cold beer latley and the non-alcholic stuff is crap so its not even worth the calories. What we've been up to: On Saturday ...
