Belly Button

Ok so most of you know that i used to have my belly button pierced. I alway thought i have had a pretty deep belly button as you generally have to stick about the whole first phalanx (bendy part of your finger) in my belly button to reach the bottom. However now as you can see both of the holes from my piercing arou now on top of my belly and the top hole used to be just at the very top of my belly button. on the up side now if i were to draw two eyes in above it it would look like someone was singing. Lol. enjoy!!!

Cleaning

Just Cleaning out my phone and thought i might as well post some pics of us. This just proves that though i am weird i married someone just as weird as me....
I think this one was a while ago, just cuz kurtis has increadibly short hair in this pic.

Bugg eyed pouty faces my favorite.

Kacie took this picture on sunday we've decided that i look like some sort of weird human puppy!

And my favorite kurtis pretending to pick his nose. This is what comes up when he calls me.

Just Keep Swimming, Swimming, Swimming

I figured that i'd write to tell you all how we're doing and what we've been up to.

Kurtis is just starting to get back into the swing of things at work. In asphalt the winter is down time pretty much. They've been working down at the flat getting things ready for this year and helping out at his bosses dads house with some chores. This next week he will be gone all week to moab where they have a job doing to paving i think. I will be moving in with the in laws for the week because apparently since i've gotton married i've become a scaredy pants. I'm still working at Bonneville we're rather slow right now so they are giving me more jobs to do, maybe that will mean i will get a raise soon!

Outside of work Kurtis is on a rec volleyball league in Murray. He plays ever thursday night and has been having fun with it. Volleyball is probably his favorite sport to play so getting to play it every week seems to be lifting his spirits. He also has been playing church ball every Saturday when they have enough guys. I am coaching our YW basketball team its been fun, my girls are undefeted and we have 2 games left so they're pretty excited. Especially since they are so young and really i only have 3 that know anything about basktball out of the 8. I've been having a hard time with the coaches on the other teams. they seem to think that this is the major leagues, and take it a little to seriously. Imagine that coming from me lol.

At my last Dr. appointment at the end of January my dr. told me that i needed to exercise more. The baby was measureing a little big and i had a big weight gain ( which i attested to not having a belly and then bam having one.) she was worried that if the baby keeps grown that fast that i wouldn't be able to deliver him naturally and would need a c-section. This was also about a week after i tore my round ligaments and had been having trouble just walking. So since i couldn't do anything that i was used to doing for exercise and i couldn't really walk i decided to try something new. So Kurtis and i now swim about 3 days a week at our rec center pool. It has been wonderful. i admit its very tiering but well worth it. I feel so light in the water and have noticed that once i get to a certin point i just bob right up. Kurtis has been teaching me form and breathing. He used to be on the swim team in highschool, so i'm lucky to get tips from him. Plus a nice thing is that during leisure swim i get to play bball in the water and i don't get hurt. :-)

Other than that we really haven't been doing much. We are really waiting for the good weather to get here the last few days we have had blue skies and 40-50 degree weather, but today we have a winter weather warning in effect until 10 pm and are supposed to get between 4-10 inches. So hopefully they are wrong.

anyway thats us. TTFN

Euphoria of Spring

Its been awhile since I’ve wrote like this but the sun is out the skies are blue and the feel of spring is upon me. And those of you who were in Marchant’s English class in high school understand what that seems to do to me. A gentle euphoria consumes me and nothing but whimsical bliss fills my body. Its days like these that I wish I could capture in a bottle and put them on a shelf so I could take them out to enjoy on a cold winter day. The flicker of green grass through the glistening snow, a drop of hope that the beauty of the world is under there waiting for its time to shine. I think the only thing that could make this more perfect would be if the ocean we’re at my feet. I’ve always said that there is a soothing, healing power possessed in the ocean. Its unexplainable, like a wonderful magic healing. The sounds the smells the beauty and wonder of the ocean. I count myself truly blessed to be have been able to experience the ocean in its entirety for two summers. It did heal me in so many ways. Alas the spring fever has hit me, the one thing I love about living in a desert is that spring seems to last a bit longer. Spring rain, spring grass, spring flower and spring skies. I look out the window and am taken back to my childhood running through fields with that wonderful big sky above and the smells of mud, dirt and fun. My favorite place as a kid was exploring nature, the animals the water, the trees, the mud. It whisked me away to my many daydreams, I was a paleontologist, a marine biologist, I was huck fin. Sometimes now that I know I’ve become an adult I wish I could go back to those days, where my dreams where the limit and all it took to keep me occupied for hours was my imagination and a field, creek, and trees. I have a feeling that if I were back there I would still enjoy it but not to the magnitude that I did then. What is that change that happens when our imaginations seem to become dull, that our fantasies become out of our reach and we stop dreaming altogether. I believe that the euphoria of spring takes me back, it brings by my childhood, the excitement of shorts and warm weather. The chance to go outside and explore, trips and friends it brings my dreams back to my grasp with the brightness of the sun and sends light throughout my body. I can’t help but smile.
