8 New Things

8 T.V. Shows I love to watch:
1. Grey's Anatomy
2. Army Wives
3. Jon & Kate Plus 8
4. America's Next Top Model
5. Ugly Betty
6. Heroes
7. Desperate Housewives
8. Biggest Loser

8 things that happened yesterday:
1. Attended my newest cousin's (once removed) baby blessing - Summer Grace Graham, Jeff and Shalene's beautiful baby girl.
2. Went to sunday school of Springfield 4th ward's conference.
3. Watched Ethan run around and play with his cousin Jackson - he's getting so big!
4. Went to a Fine - Graham - Toftdahl - Southworth potluck after the baby blessing.
5. Wrestled with Ethan.
6. Posted a new (short) blog.
7. Snuggled on the couch with my hubby.
8. Started organizing some pictures - came across a CD I made for Sean and I's wedding reception. It's got some of our early dating days, Sean's mission, engagement pics and me at various ages (toddler, middle school, high school swimming/graduation). Is anybody interested in seeing them? I'll post on request only! :) Here's a preview, though:
I'm not sure how old I was there, but is it weird that I see some of Ethan's features in my face?


Sean's average height - definitely not short, but not over 6 foot either, so these guys must be really tall!
8 favorite places to eat:
1. Sweet Tomatoes
2. Red Robin
3. Torerros
4. Quiznos
5. Olive Garden
6. Papa's Pizza or Roaring Rapids
7. PC Market deli
8. My own house

8 things I am looking forward to:
1. Moving to Salem (hopefully next year) so that I can...
2. Be a stay-at-home mom
3. Being debt-free!
4. Experiencing new things through Ethan's eyes
5. Going to the farm/pumpkin patch in two weeks
6. Getting my hair done in two weeks - maybe some auburn highlights??
7. Finnaaalllllly losing the baby weight so that I can be in better shape for when we're ready to start trying for #2 (we're just not sure when that is!)
8. Southern Cali in December to see Sean's family

8 things on my wish list:
1. Getting into pre-pre baby shape so that I can be lifting weights with the 'big boys' at Golds again. I miss the days of being one of the only girls on the weight floor.
2. Debt-free!!
3. Owning our own home.
4. Having a completely organized house - yeah, right!
5. A new laptop with high-speed wireless internet with tons of memory.
6. Sean and I both being done with school and loans paid off.
7. A huge travel fund so that we can explore the world.
8. World Peace! Or at least as much as possible, a happy, loving, healthy family. So far, so good!

I love that picture of you, it's SO cute!!! It's so fun to look at old videos. It makes me want to watch my wedding video.

I hope you guys are feeling better at your house. Sick kids are no fun, and neither are sick moms!

We had a ton of fun seeing you guys sunday! Ethan is just way too cute.... and i totally see him in you in that picture! Hey are you guys driving or flying down to So. Cal for Christmas? Looks like we might be driving down- it would be fun to drive by each other!

I agree your picture is so cute. I love looking at pictures when we were young. its fun to see if our kids look anything like us and also just thinking of the fun care free life we had. If you have more pictures i would like to see them.

Yes. Post more photos! And yes, there is a LOT of you in Ethan (or vice versa--however that works). That was a fun post to read. I don't really want you to move to Salem though...

Wow! The picture of you as a little girl looks like Ethan with a wig. We're looking forward to seeing you guys down here in September.
