Inspired by Carrie

Yup, it's her fault...I mean, inspiration behind the festive color change.  That, and maybe a bit too much free time on my hands.  Happy Holidays!!! :-)

Newlywed Bliss? aka Shaine, this one's for you

Oh yes, it happened. Today at church a sister touched my stomach and asked me when I'm due.

Now, I realize I've gained 6 pounds over the last 4 1/2 months, but that's not enough to make me look pregnant, SURELY?!? She was incredibly apologetic when I told her "I'm not.", and commented that so many of the young couples in our ward are expecting.....sure. I'm blaming it on my insulin pump. I clip it to the inside of my waistband, but it still pooches out. And yes, the return to the exercise regime has commenced (2 weeks ago, actually - but apparently it wasn't soon enough!!!)

The Magic of Holidays

It's not that people are kinder or more thoughtful, it's that children go on break for a few days and magically lose all of their ability to follow directions.  Which makes my job SO much more fun.  Really.

In other news, the first married Thanksgiving went well.  It definitely didn't feel like a normal TG to me - I mean, it was in the wrong state, with different people and different foods, but it was fun! We spent a lot of time with Robb's mom, sister, and brother in law.  And we spent an equal amount of time in the train coming and going.  That's another story, but my advice in the meantime:  Get a sleeper!!!  :-)
