30 Day Blogging Challenge Day 5 and 6

day 5- a picture of somewhere you've been to

Boston: I went there for a weekend for my brothers reception and we didn't get much time to explore since it was such a short trip. So I want to go there again just not in the hot muggy August weather.

Yellowstone: This was when I was little and I vaguely remember it and didn't truely appreciate it.

day 6- favorite super hero and why

I'm not big on superheros because I never really watched cartoons as a kid because I really wasn't into it...especially sci-fi type of cartoons. SO I'm not very familiar with them. BUT if I had to HAVE a superhero power I would probably want to be able to jump to a different location in a matter of seconds (like in the movie Jumper). I think that would be awesome. You cut the BS and hassle out of traveling plus if I were on the Amazing race I would KILL it.

Valentines Day!

So for V-day my hubby and I celebrated it on Saturday since we could get a babysitter and go out! It was so fun and much needed! When we woke up on Saturday we switched gifts...which we never do because we hate buying gifts but we decided we need to be more thoughtful so we did gifts this year. He was so thoughtful and he got me a book I really wanted called "Taking Charge of Your Fertiliy" and its pretty much a book about the Fertility Awareness Method of birth control but can also be used to get pregnant. You pretty much chart your waking BBT(basal body temperature) and your cervical fluid which can in turn tell when you are fertile. I think its awesome to be aware of what is going on inside your body and I plan to use it as birth control after we have our next baby. He also got me two shirts and a pair of jeans from Aeropostale. He is such a good hubby! I got him a one hour massage at Massage Envy and a card.

That night we went to 25 & Main for dinner and then we went and saw "Just Go With It". It was hilarious and everyone in the theatre was cracking up so hard I couldn't even hear half the jokes. :D It was nice to get out though!

Chase is such an awesome husband though. I can't believe its been 3 years already of being married but at the same time its hard to think of life without him! He is such a good daddy and I truely feel lucky with how good he is with Jayda. I don't know what I would do if I didn't get breaks when he got home from work. I literally would have a nervous breakdown but he is just so good at understanding that being a stay at home mommy can be really hard and stressful at times and that I need to get "off work" too. I feel that we are in the best place our marriage has ever been! I love him so much!!

30 Day blogging challenge: Day 4

Day 4: A habit I wish I didn't have.

1. Coconut M&M's

2. Pretzel M&Ms

3. Diet Coke with Lime


Need I say more? :D

30 day Blogging Challenge Day 3

Day 3-A picture of you and your friends

This is from just last month when we went up north to see the Jazz game. This is Phil and Nicole and they are a lot of fun to hang out with! Too bad we live so far from them and can't hang out as much but we'll see them sometime next month at her son Carter's one year birthday! I can't believe he is going to be a year! He's getting so big and he is a little cutie patutie!

I wish I got together a lot more with our other friends with kids (its much easier to hang out with our friends that don't have kids because they don't need babysitters :D ) but life is just CRAZY! I can't wait til next month when we go to California with some of our friends and get away for awhile!

30 Day Blogging Challenge- Day 2

Day 2: The meaning behind the name of your blog....

Well I haven't always been into blogging. When Jayda was in the NICU everyone was telling me I needed to start blogging about updates so people could check up on her without calling me everyday. I fought it hard and instead of creating a blog I made a caringbridge page which is a lot like a blog but specifically for families with a child or even for individuals with a medical condition. The problem though with that though is that you were only able to upload a certain amount of pics and it just wasn't as good.

Some of my friends and my sister had blogs so I decided it was finally time to set up a blog. I couldn't figure out the name though for our blog. One of our most favorite couple friends ever (Blake and Jen Christensen...they are also one of the couples coming with us to Cali for spring break next month yahooo can't wait!!) were down from Salt Lake when I was setting my blog up. We were trying to figure out a blog name and Jen threw out "drawing a blake" like the common phase "drawing a blank". Which fit what we were doing because we were "drawing a blank" as to the name. So that's pretty much how that came about. :D

Day 1

Ok....so this is my 4th post today....yes 4th! My kid is sick and I am BORED and am procrastinating my school work... back off! :D

Day 1- recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1. When I got married I had only been 19 for 4 months!

2. My daughter Jayda was concieved on our 1 year wedding anniversary (TMI but still pretty cool haha).

3. Ever since I was in 2nd grade I wanted to be a writer.

4. I literally am addicted to diet coke with lime and pretzel & cocunut M&M's.

5. I am obsessed with reality t.v.

6. Someday I hope to either work as a social worker in a children's hospital or work in an adoption agency. (Right now I am working on my Bachelor's in Psychology.)

7. Tying into the last one, Chase and I want 4 kids and to adopt one or more of them (depending on how my body will carry my next pregnancy). No matter how my next one goes though we want to adopt.

8. My sister and I are best friends and I called her to tell her I was pregnant before I even thought to tell Chase! I know horrible!

9. I am obsessed with learning about the Holocaust and WWII. I will watch any movie, documentary, or t.v show relating to it.

10. I am very much into politics and love getting into heating debates with people. I recently took an American Government class that completely changed my views. I am now a blue dog democrat (conservative on social issues but more liberal with fiscal issues). I never thought the "D" word would come out of my mouth.

11. If I could hang out with one famous person all day long I would hang out with either Ellen or Bob Harper from the Biggest Loser (do you like how both of them are gay? haha).

12. I ran my first half marathon this last November and ran it in 2hrs 5min 18sec! I want to run a full marathon after I have my next baby!

13. My brother's girlfriend recently got me and Chase addicted to a game called Nertz. We in turn have gotten our other friends addicted to it too!

14. I carry a water bottle with me everywhere. I also pee at least once every hour.

15. If I could recieve ANYTHING I wanted I would wish for healthy full term pregnancies. I would literally turn down a million dollars for that.  

Ok so the pic isn't that great of a close-up but I love it and think its adorable.
