Missing you

So Ash you may kill me for this pic, as it is a great classic pic of you after 3 days camping in Idaho. But I love the pic, because it makes me smile, just thinking of you looking like this all smiley and cute. I have to say I am FREAKING out. I haven't seen you since Idaho in August and I don't know if I will be seeing you before baby Murray makes her way here and it is KILLING me. Thankfully you and I talk pretty much every day either on the phone, text or gchat and that is the only thing that is making it not seem as long as it has been. But then I think about it and I am like "seriously it has been that long!!!" Anyway I just miss you, like in person. I love that nothing ever seems to change between us, we pick up right where we left off, you would think we don't live on complete opposite sides of the country. I LOVE YOU!!!



And then my better half Aar Bear. He has been on his monthly east coast trip and I can't wait for him to get home tomorrow night. I had a dream, no lie, that we were living in the Jersey Shore house and we were dating and best friends and then he decided he didn't want to be my best friend anymore. I didn't care much about him not wanting to date me, but he didn't want to be my best friend and it made me so sad. He was making fun of me and playing pranks on me with the rest of the Jersey Shore guys and I woke up at 5 am so sad. I had to text him right away (he was up since it was 8 for him east coast time) Anyway I love him it's true. And yes I should probably not watch so much "T SHIRT TIME" goodness.


I am pretty stoked because I get to see my Liam, Georgie, KT and MOM and DAD next week in AZ. I am going for a whole week!!! Can't wait...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh get me there. Actually get Aaron home for a few days first then get me to AZ.

Hollywood Hike

Today we took our Young Women's group to hike to the Hollywood sign. We actually hiked to above the hike. It was a blast and so much fun to do with our awesome group of girls. It was a nice day in LA with a bit overcast on the way up with some light fog which made it super enjoyable. The sun came out on our way down and along with a couple detours we made it down safely and all together. I was so nervous taking our girls on this as it was the first time I had done something like this with all these girls. And as we know girls are girls and start chatting and they just like to wander a bit, and needless to say I was a tad bit anxious, but everyone made it safely and in one piece with no injuries. Here is some of our group at the top.


Aar joined with along with other spouses and it was nice having him there with me along with our Buddy Buddy Bear oh and don't forget the lil one in the belly. Here I am at 23 weeks. And yes if you wanted to know if I am feeling huge I AM. While I have not gained too much weight I am for sure starting to pop out. Two weeks ago I was in the worst pain of my life, thought I needed to go to the hospital intense pain. The next day I literally was double the size I was the day before in my stomach. I went to Dr to get checked out and it was just stretching pains...actually not JUST stretching pains cause it was intense. I just describe it like someone took a knife and cut open my stomach from my belly button all the way across both sides. My dr said I was going to have some uncomfortable weeks stretching but that hopefully I am part of the lucky people whose stretching pains are more painful than labor. Fingers crossed. I am telling you what it was intense for about a week straight and I am happy to report I only get the pains every now and then rather than all day.


I am loving being active still. And to all those who say I should take it easy and not work out too much I say "um are you remembering I have to push this kiddo out? That takes endurance and strength so I am pretty sure not working out would not be the best idea, but thanks for looking out for me." Really and truly drives me nuts I can't tell you how many times a week someone tells me I should not be working out.

Mama Roo

I am just saying check this thing out. I tried to get pics uploaded but the blog was being lame. It is amazing and I am pretty sure I only see Aaron get this excited when he is looking at surfboards. He loved it and I have to say I had not seen it ever and was thinking I had already decided on the swingie item we were going to get until we saw this.



It has 5 different motions to chose from:
Car Ride: which is a figure eight movement
KangRoo: Which moves up and down
Tree Swing: swings in a downward motion, high on the sides low in the middle
Rock A Bye: Swings in a upward motion, low on sides, high in middle
Ocean wave: Around in a big circle

You can adjust speed to faster or slower

It has a fully adjustable seat that you can recline or sit straight up

You can plug in your Ipod and it can play your own music or chose from the sounds provided

I really love it...really and truly love it and you know me when I love something I am like a missionary for it. I am pretty sure that with how much Aaron loves it we will end up owning this amazing thing.
