We went in to Via Christi to be induced on Sunday, October 25th at 7 am. I didn’t want to go past one week of my due date and the schedule for inductions was crazy busy, but luckily my doctor was more than happy to induce on a Sunday, and so was the hospital staff. That last night of sleep was a rough one. I couldn’t really sleep due to nerves and just being super pregnant in general. That means that Justin didn’t really get much sleep either so we were off to a great start! Once we got up to my delivery room I took off my mask (pandemic,…

Pregnancy.
Our little guy is almost 1 week old and I wanted to get this information out on ‘paper’ as soon as possible so I don’t forget most of it. Which means that this post will be quite lengthy. A lot of this may just be for me to look back on as time goes by, but maybe there will be something in here that someone will read and realize they are not so alone in their journey. That I went through it also. We found out I was pregnant mid-February 2020 and it was one of the best days of my life. I hadn’t had a period since around Thanksgiving…

Two-Thousand and Twenty.
I’m not going to lie, 2019 did not go the way I had planned. I had planned on losing a lot of weight, I had planned on being healthier. I had planned on really focusing on my blog. I had planned on lots of things. It didn’t happen. Instead, I actually gained more weight. My health level is about the same, still struggling to get my thyroid under control and I’m on a new medication for a weird-ass reflux thing with my sinuses. With 2020 comes a new decade, and this time I really am ready to make a change. I am 30 years old, it’s time to get serious…

God’s Country.
Do you like country music? If so, take a couple minutes and watch this music video: The very first time I heard this song, it touched my soul. One thing to note, I am not religious. I don’t believe in God, but even with that, this song is everything. It speaks to a way of life, of living. A life that is simple, and kind, and honest. A life that appreciates the smaller things in life. “I saw the light in the sunrise” That land taught me respect, hard work, and love. That family comes before things. It also taught me 13-point pitch and ‘roof ball’ I grew up on…

Diana Palmer Book Review.
I adore romance novels, or at least I used to. Until I got married. Now, half the time they just piss me off. Honestly, if Justin would ever talk to me the way some of those men do…. I can’t decide if I would get divorced, or just cut his balls off. I used to love love love Nora Roberts. But it has probably been at least 2 years since I have read one of her books. I mean, in reality, she has written so many novels that it probably makes sense why she uses the same phrasing over and over…and over…and over in every single book she writes. I…

Movie Review: Hunt for the Labyrinth Killer (2013)
Alright people. Saturday night. I couldn’t really decide what to watch, so I was browsing through Hulu and found Hunt for the Labyrinth Killer from 2013. The cover image looked stupid, but I decided to watch the trailer. It seriously looked as though the trailer actually gave away who the killer was! What?! So that of course means that I had to try watching it. Which also means I am going to ‘live’ blog this movie. Enjoy the ride guys. News flash: There are spoilers coming, so if you haven’t yet seen this movie, proceed at your own risk. But also, this movie is from 2013 so come on now.…

New Pillows!!
Pillows. In the living room. Aka…for the couch and chairs. This has been an ongoing argument since June when we bought our new couches. These are 100% the ugliest pillows I’ve ever seen (or owned) in my entire life! If you like them, congrats! I still have the covers and would love the send them to you! In reality, the leathery brown side (which is exactly like the couch, which makes sense because they came together) is super comfy and nice to nap on, but the other side…*shudder*. Our house has a lot of brown, so I really wanted to pull some color up from the rug. Because these do.…

The Second Me.
A new girl started in my department at work. She sits across from me, so I get to see her every day. And guess what? That’s right. We share a name. (Even though hers is spelled wrong….) Even better…she is just as weird as I am! She also loves hot dogs just as much as I do!
