Scheduling Conflicts

Typical Weekday Morning for Me

2:25 am: Alarm goes off.
 Jarom gets up, dressed, and leaves the bedroom within 3 minutes.
2:28 am: I am asleep again.

6:45 am: Alarm goes off.
 I get up.
 I go out into the living room where Jarom is (already home from work) sitting at his computer or watching TV. I say hi and ask how work was.
 I go back into the room to get dressed and ready.
 I go into the kitchen, eat, say bye to Jarom and go to work.

This Morning

Jarom gets up, gets dressed, leaves the bedroom within 3 minutes.
I go back to sleep.
Alarm goes off.
I get up, go out to the living room where Jarom is on the computer (in a coat, he must be cold still). I say hi. He says hi.
As I start heading back to get ready, I ask him how work was.
2:30 am: He tells me that it's 2:30 am.
I don't understand.
He tells me he hasn't gone to work yet, that he just got up 10 minutes ago before the alarm went off.
It feels like it's been hours. I've been asleep, I've had dreams between then and now. I know he already left and then an alarm went off, so now it's time for me to be up.
But it's only 2:30am!!!!
I finally start understanding what is going on (my mind doesn't work so well when I first wake up)
He walks me back into the bedroom to make sure I actually get back into bed and go to sleep. He doesn't trust me in this state, he probably is unsure if I'm actually awake or not.

6:45 am: Another alarm goes off. I get up, get ready, and go to work.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
