  • For as long as I have worked retail, I always felt a little unnoticed I guess. I would always go out of my way to help customers and co-workers and though I have been appreciated I always was a little bitter I guess that I never got employee of the month or anything. Sounds silly, but I just always thought it would be nice to be recognized publicly instead of just privately for my work. I am pretty sure at compusa it was always the top selling computer sales guy who got that award so maybe that's why I never got it. That, and they didn't keep up with it every month. It was more like employee for 3-6 months award. ha. So anyway, when I walk in to work yesterday and see a big blue paper that says team member of the month on my locker, what do I do? I rip it off real fast and think "how embarrassing" haha

    I have so much to do in the coming weeks. This baby is coming too quickly. What a change from my first pregnancy, where I just couldn't wait.

  • Grandma Felsch is sick so she wasn't feeling up to making me a dress, so we headed up to Logan and Cheryl has started sewing me a dress. I'm excited about it I just hope the color is right; even though it says "burgundy", it seems very dark, but we tried. It's depressing that because it's not a maternity dress, the dress will be about 10 sizes larger than my regular size. It will be nice when I'm not pregnant and I can take it in and see the difference though.  I'm glad Hannah and Will like to and have the chance to play together as often as they do and are growing up together being friends. It really is just so cute when Will calls out for Hannah. "Mannah...Mannah", like he is very concerned about her. We just went up for one day and then they will come down here on Tuesday to do a fitting for me. So, when we got home I decided to do a load of laundry and when I opened the door there was a large puddle, dripping water from 2 spots, and a ceiling tile drenched and bowing out from all the water that had been dripping. Dave figured out that it was coming from the dishwasher and it wouldn't stop leaking so he had to turn off the water. I have to wash Will's sippie cup with some old bottled water that thankfully we had. We had 5 gallons of water before, but never replaced those after they expired and got used. Guess I will be more prepared in the future. I didn't think I might need water for something other than after a big disaster.

  • Yesterday and today I have searched online and in stores to see if I could find a dress for the wedding. And after coming home with only a black bolero sweater to wear in case I couldn't find a dress with sleeves on it and a bunch of other non-wedding party attire, I am giving up. I hope I can con Grandma into sewing me a dress. If not I'll get Cheryl to do it. How hard can it be to pin a front and a back to me and then sew?? Besides, I should really learn how to sew; I always have this dilemma of a vision of the perfect outfit and then no one has anything like it. It's really quite annoying that of all the dresses out there (unless I want to special order from a fancy catalog, spend  $$$$, and wait 10+ weeks to get it) I can't find anything. And what's with all the mini dresses?? It's about to be winter and no one wants to sell long dresses? I'm excited to pick out the right color though. I will probably just go with a burgundy, unless we decide to get fancy with a pink sash too.

  • We went to Vegas for the weekend and had a lot of fun. Dave's friends' parents have a nice house in a rich neighborhood, so we had this bbq Halloween shin dig thing and then went trick or treating. The dad had hooked a trailer to his 4 wheeler for all the kids and parents to ride in so we wouldn't get tired. It was all decked out with lights and stuff. And I gotta say, that is the way to do it. haha I guess I never went trick or treating in the rich neighborhoods growing up and man was I missing out. We only did a hand full of houses because Will was tired and getting grouchy, but he got a ton on candy (mostly chocolate) woot! They were giving handfuls and full size candy and chips! It was great and everyone commented on how cute Will looked in his dinosaur costume. I just wish he wasn't trying to take the hood off every second his hands were free. Luckily the costume had paws or whatever you call dino hands so he couldn't pull it off. I'll put pics soon even though I've already posted a few a while ago when I tried it on him for fun. Dave built a nice insulated dog house so the dogs can stay outside even in the cold. I was pretty impressed. He is always looking out the window to see if they are in there -which they are because they love it- but it's still funny/cute to see him be proud of his work.

  • Yesterday Cheryl and them came down to hang out with Kevin and then Will and I came over after everyone took a short detour to taco bell Kevin's pre-dinner, but I did try the black jack taco which was pretty good. After visiting with everyone at Grandma's for a bit we left since Grandma had only planned dinner for them and our cousin Ben; so mine and Cheryl's family  went to a burger joint and came back after and played bananagrams. Then today we all  went out to lunch with Kevin at Mcgraths fish house and then went back to Grandmas until they had to leave to go to the MTC. I am excited for him, and I guess everyone else is too. It will be a long 2 years and I'll have a 4 year old and and a 2 year old soon after he gets back. Crazy! I made him take a picture with Will before he left. It snowed yesterday a little and today it was just windy and cold. I like cold, but not a fan of wind. It is a cool feeling to get your breath knocked out of you by a gust of freezing wind though. As I was driving around yesterday with just Will in the car, I noticed I was on empty, but the light wasn't on so I didn't fill up. After a few minutes I got a strong impression I should fill up the car, but I just didn't want to with a kid in the car and Dave could do it later when he was with me. Then I played out in my mind running out of gas and not having anyone around and being stuck somewhere with Will alone. I looked at the tank again and thinking the light should be on, that it just seemed too low and the car seemed to drive sluggishly all the sudden, I went ahead and got gas. Dave noticed I got gas later and I told him about why I did, and then he told me the gas light had burned out. Good thing I filled up. I said a quick prayer of thanks as I very well could have been in an unnecissary situation.
