{ this is how I feel about it today: }

{ such a cute little guy! }


{ such a great guy!}

We're gonna miss you Elder!!!

One year.

It's gone by so quickly! It's been a crazy year, a busy year,

but a great year.

One year since I married my best friend.

We spent the day before our anniversary up by Flaming Gorge 

{ who I lovingly call Flaming George }

If year one is any indicator, I know the rest of our

lives will be just as amazing.

 { my tummy is not as flat as it used to be... }
 

But no, friends, I am not pregnant. Just recovering from a surgery on Monday. Nothing serious, and I'm doing just fine. It was a laparoscopic surgery,so they pumped my stomach up with air which hasn't all been absorbed yet. Mr. Hercules and I have been laughing at how my huge stomach makes me look a little bit pregnant. Unfortunately, the pain in my shoulders from the air bubbles has been worse some times than the pain from the incisions.

But it's been a good week, with visits from friends and family, and beautiful flowers!











{ poor tummy }



{ this is how I've felt today }



{ but thanks to this guy, and my sweet little brother,
it's been a good week }


{ what the sick room looks like }

{ also, as the week has progressed, I have eaten a lot more
orange food [which I always eat when I am stressed or nervous]
it's actually kind of funny to observe }

It's a good feeling.

I took a few days off to see my lovely sister's family

{ and I got to meet my newest niece - she's so perfect }








{ I think I missed my calling in life:
I think I should have been one of those
make-up artists that dresses up little girls
at Cinderella's Palace in Disney World }





{ make-up/tea party =
I think that a good time was had by all }








Also, to the guy in the white Lexus on the way to Denver: NOT COOL, dude. Not cool. 

Having a bit of a sad day.

Some things that are making it better:

{ Spearmint Chap Stick }

My new kitchen

my new closet (yus!!)

this little girl

and this little girl

Him

Knowing that I'm loved no matter what, even on my crazy bad days

knowing I will get to see these kiddos soon!!
