So...watch me go!
-I love crocheting. I know I've said it before, but I love it. It's so relaxing, and I'm really excited about the blanket that I'm making, mainly because the pattern is hard. Like, crochet the blanket to about a 6-inch width, tear it all apart, and start over again hard. But I WILL prevail! And did I mention that I made a hat and a couple flowers for Abigail? I love it, but need to wash the hat before I put it on her.
-I went out to a restaurant with a couple girlfriends (Julia and Tiffany) tonight, and we had a great time. I love catching up with those two. And then afterwards we came back to my apartment and we continued catching up while Matt went out home-teaching, and when Matt got back he made us milkshakes and we all caught up. It's so fun to spend time with the 3 of them, and it reminds me of the "good old days" when we were in YSA together, and we'd ditch activities to go to Kelsey's (a restaurant,) Matt would make us yummy food, and we'd sit around and talk about serious and not-so-serious things. We're all grown up now, but at heart we'll still the same people we were then, and I love that we're all still friends (well, I sure hope I'd still be friends with Matt...I did marry him afterall!)
-I feel so sad about a couple I know who is getting a divorce. It is surprising me less and less these days, to hear of peers getting divorces, but it's still heartbreaking. This is the first divorce of a peer that has involved children (in this case 3) and it involved infidelity. How tragic is that? It makes me want to strengthen my marriage even more, and show my love for Matt even more. I want to say it'd never happen to me, and I trust Matthew that it wouldn't, but part of me feels like those spouses who were cheated on trusted THEIR loved ones, that they would never be unfaithful, and then they were. I'm not scared, but it does make one want to hug their loved ones a little tighter, and let more things slide than one otherwise would.
-Abigail is almost out of her newborn sleepers. Like, the neck is being pulled down so that it's a bit of a lowrise now. Sad doesn't even cover it! The fact that I need to buy a tub to put her retired clothes into is shocking to me. For so long it felt like she'd never be here, and now she's big enough to outgrow things? Impossible!
-I have the most boring dreams ever. Examples? One night last week I dreamt that we got the piece for our filter that would allow us to drink the tap water downstairs instead of filling up our jugs from the upstairs' tap, and I was SO jazzed about it! Last night I dreamt that today was Stake RS Women's Day and I had forgotten my coat at home, and then I was sad to wake up to find it was actually Thursday and not Saturday (when our Women's Day is.) Why can't I have crazy interesting dreams like Matt does? He even talks in his sleep, and says the most hilarious things. One time he woke me up by pulling me over onto my back in the middle of the night, and I asked him what he was doing. He said he had just saved my life and should be thanking him. I accordingly thanked him, and then asked what the danger was. He said I had been laying down next to a pit that I was about to fall into. When I asked if it was a very deep pit, his response was, "It had zombies in it." The funny thing was, afterwards he vaguely remembered this conversation, and in his mind he knew he was making up the zombie detail, but he was starting to feel bad for waking me up, so he had to make the peril more sensational, hence the zombie invention. I love him!
-I love the faces babies make when they cry. I know it's sad, and I don't let Abigail cry much, I promise, but if I'm already taking photos of her when she starts to cry, I allow myself a few photos before I put the camera down and comfort her. Here is my example from today:
And yes, that's a bow in her hair. We decided to get dressed up to go out tonight. ;) Seriously, though, it's amazing how girly she looks in this photo. Cut that bow out of the picture and she looks way less feminine.-a couple other cute photos from today's flash-fest:

[/caption]I promise to post some pictures that are outside of the confines of my 1-room downstairs apartment, or even off of my couch, but not today. I figure the red in Elijah's shirt provides enough visual variety for now.
I know I had more to say, but I'm tired, and Matt's Batman game is distracting me too much to remember it all, so I think that's all for today.
