Disappointing

So, we have started this little group in our ward for Enrichment. It's just the Young Sisters group, which is made up of all the women between 18 and 30. We had our first activity last night and I had been really worried about it because we hadn't had much time to plan. There are three of us on the sub committee, 1 who's always out of town, 1 who is extremely busy and 1 who is fly by the seat of her pants. (I'm the last if you weren't sure ;) We didn't get to have a planning meeting until 2 days before the activity, which always makes me nervous and anxious. I like to have a plan and know what I'm doing well ahead of time so I can do my part. Anyway, we only had 2 sisters show up to the activity and it kinda bummed me out. Oh well, there's always next month.
Good news is that Harley is getting his top front teeth and doesn't seem to be too bothered by it. However, I'm getting bothered by his determination to get out of the crib! He keeps standing on his toys to try and get out. Ugh!
In even happier news, we get to find out whether or not we have a boy or a girl in a week and a half! Yay!
FYI: I WILL BE MASS TEXTING THE BABY'S GENDER WHEN WE FIND OUT!

A couple quotes for you

"We spent months planning this and all THEY wanna do is study! I'm disgusted. We had no one at the mutant hamster races. We only had one entry to the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was later disqualified...why do I bother?" - Chris Knight, Real Genius

Karen: "So you just went to sleep, that's it?"
Meg: "Yes, I just said that. Didn't I just say that?"
Nick: "About 5 times."
Meg: "I did not know him in the biblical sense."
Nick: "I love these shoes, I think I'm going to sleep in them."
Meg: "But that does NOT mean he's going to have sex with them."
- The Big Chill (One of my all-time favorites!)

Finally

So, I haven't written in here for a month...I just haven't felt like it. I'm writing now for no reason, really. Anywho.
The other night the baby and I fell asleep at around 8 so, naturally, we woke up around 11, lol. Harley decided he no longer wanted to sleep and his mother decided she was hungry. So I went upstairs and started making macaroni. I locked the front door and the side door because I don't like having doors unlocked at night. I was walking across the family room to the kitchen when I heard a noise like someone trying to open the side door. Freaking out a little, I kept walking and stopped at the border between the living room and the kitchen because I heard a noise coming from the laundry room. All of a sudden, Monica's head pops out of the laundry room and scares the crap out of me. With James following close behind. Apparently they had come over to eat the leftover lasagna my mom made the other night. Jokingly, I asked them if they did this often. Seriously, Monica answered not anymore. Makes me wonder if I should start locking the doors more often...
On another note, we had Harley's blessing on Sunday. Jared was very nervous, but he did just fine. It was really nice. We had a lot of people there for such short notice. And James made a fool of himself to Bobby's step-dad, teehee.
Jared started school at UVU and loves it. He said it's a lot easier this time. So, hopefully, all will go well and Jared will finally have found the thing he's meant to do.
Also, in 3ish weeks, we get to find out whether it's a boy or a girl! Yay!

Amazing

Tonight I went to the most amazing Relief Society meeting with Vicky, Grandma B and Auntie M. It was so great! Sister Julie B. Beck (aka the General Relief Society President) was there to speak. However, instead of just getting up and speaking, she got up, said a little about herself and then asked for questions that applied to everyone. It was really awesome to hear that other sisters have the same questions and problems that I do. I mean, you know that I'm not the only one with problems, but it's nice to know that there are other people who have no idea what to do about them, either. lol. That's kind of bad in a way. Oh well. It was really an awsome meeting and I'm glad I went. I did get a phone call in the middle of the meeting and when I checked the message afterwards, it was none other than my own Relief Society President. lol. Calling me to be a Visiting Teacher. Eeeeeeeeek! I will tackle that scary monster tomorrow.
So, I have decided that there is way too much salt in my diet and I seriously need to decrease that. I will start eating something and have to drink a gallon of water because it's so salty. So, starting now, only one piece of bacon when we have it, and no more drowning my mashed potatoes in salt and butter. Oh, man that's going to be hard. But I think I can do it...we'll see. I need to start eating healthy anyway.
My son has started walking! ...crap! lol. He's already a little terror crawling...walking is going to drive me crazy. Especially in our little amount of space. Right now he's sleeping and I love to watch him. He's so peaceful and sometimes he makes little sleeping sounds and it's sooooo cute! He almost always wakes up happy. He fidgets for a minute before opening his eyes, then rolls over and grins at me. He's so adorable. However, what's not so adorable, is when he sleeps in our bed he has realized that he can wake up quietly and wreak tons of havoc before waking mommy and daddy up. lol. He's still cute. Especially when daddy wasn't quick enough changing the diaper last night. teehee. He peed all over daddy, himself and his bed. It was funny.

My lovely collage!

So tired...

So, Monica got me to download Picasa. Which is a really cool program, kinda like Photoshop. I have been playing with it all day. I think I have played with over 100 pictures. It's been a lot of fun. Especially with my wedding pictures and pictures of Harley. I am very excited.
However, I have had an enormously gigantic headache for about an hour. Sleeping didn't help it at all, however, after just 1 swallow of Dr. Pepper it is starting to fade. That is really sad.
Now I am watching NCIS, my favorite show, and playing with more pictures while trying very hard not to wake my little guy up.
I am really scatterbrained, so I am not going to write any more.
