Merry Christmas!

I've been tagged to post my 4th picture in my 4th file. So, here it is. This is of one from a scuba trip in Bonaire (it's near Aruba). It's not a favorite of mine but I think it's cool that the fish blends in between the coral. We went in the fall of 2005 and it was fabulous! We could dive as much as we wanted whenever we wanted. I think we went on 13-14 dives and a couple of them were night dives. For interest sake here are a few others from the trip.

I tag... Shelby, Liz, Cori, and Tia

Deck the Halls!

Such a great time of year, if you ask me! I was so excited to get the Christmas decorations out and I love my tree this year! Brandon even put lights on our house for the first time! Granted there's just a few but I love having some up!

These are our awesome stockings that my mom makes. I already have some good ideas for the next one! As I was putting everything up I couldn't help but think about putting everything away too. Either I have to be very on top of things after Christmas, or they just might be up until Valentine's Day!

MWC CHAMPS! BCS BOUND!

So, my husband wants to go to the Utah Bowl game. The game would most likely be at the first of the year just before baby girl is due to arrive. Sure, he'll probably make it back in time for the delivery, in fact I could very well have her before he were to leave. I'm not lettting him risk it!

NKOTB!!!

I went to the New Kids On The Block concert this weekend with my sister Shelby. Oh yes I did! It was fun to go and they actually put on a really good performance. I was impressed that they were moving so well still! They sang all my favorite songs and I happen to still know most of the words! The unfortunate thing was that I lacked the passion I felt for them so many years ago. I didn't wish that I could become Joeys girlfriend (although he was the best looking on of the bunch, fo sho!), or that Donny would see me and want me like I did him, or even that I could hear that high falsetto voice every day. It also made me feel old because there was a moment when Donny was asking the crowd if they wanted to go home and go to bed, and I kind of did! I just couldn't leave though until they sang "Step by Step" and "Hangin Tough". We of course stayed for the whole thing and we sure did rock that arm swing! I think there's just something special about being 10 and being in love with a couple of rock stars! It just doesn't last forever.

What NOT to say to a pregnant woman...

These things have actually been said to me during this or my last pregnancy and... seriously!?

• "Are you tired?" (pretty much everyday from the same person at work)
• "You just look like you need to be doing some more sit-ups." (she knew I was pregnant)
• "You're at that stage that you don't look pregnant you just look fat." (I know, but do you really need to tell me that?!)
• "I can tell you're starting to gain weight, I can see it in your face."
• "Hey Chunky!"
• "I really can't believe how big you're getting. (me neither.)
• The scale told me, "11 lbs in 6 weeks" (awesome!)
• Most recently at the grocery store; "Are you having twins? Well you must be due tomorrow!"

I also love how any stranger can just start talking to you and giving you their opinions! Don't people ever think? Have some even seen a pregnant woman before? It's all good though. It's a good thing I'm not one to get offended, it's just funny to talk about because it sounds really bad! I'm sure I have much more to come in the next 8 weeks!
