Red Sox Nation

Ok so now I'm a Red Sox fan. " I cannot believe it!" (Ashley you would appreciate that one) The only reason is because Brandon Moss is playing for them now. I will always be a true Braves fan but I realized that if you don't care for something or hate something the opposite always happens. My husband is a hard core Red Sox fan. In fact, Parker has been indoctrinated even though he doesn't care. I never cared for them and really didn't since my husband did. Well, now my fellow high school graduate is playing for them. It's interesting to reflect back to high school....I sat next to him in my Algebra/Trig class. We had many conversations together. Now he is on to bigger and better things. We all knew he would be huge one day but I never realized that he would be playing for a HUGE team like the Red Sox. How awesome is that? So now when we go to the game in May, I might make a t-shirt saying "I went to high school with Moss."

Law School!

Yeah!!!!!!! We received a letter yesterday from University of Toledo Law School. Jer was accepted into their Fall 2008 class!! Jer was nervous about getting into a good law school and already heard from 2 which declined. Yesterday before I left for work, Jer came home with a letter in his hands. He made me open it (I didn't want to) but I did and the first line said "I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into the Fall 2008 class." We were so excited!! It is a really good school and in the top 100 schools. We are still waiting for BYU and Gonzaga. We don't really care about the other 4 but hopefully they will come soon. I know that things happen for a reason and that Heavenly Father blesses us. We were talking about how interesting it is that the first time Jer took the LSAT he bombed but he studied hard and did well the second time. Also we would not be here in California and it's interesting to see how things happen. I am grateful that Jer got into a good school!

Easter weekend!

On Saturday we took Parker to the park where they had an Easter bunnies event going on. I wanted to take a picture with the Easter bunny BUT this bunny was scary. I was shocked at how awful the costume was. It looked like he was high and just "hippy". Jer and I agreed that we would not take pictures with this particular bunny. I really do think Parker would have started crying anyway. I mean I would have. We did have fun playing a couple games and riding the train. We hid a couple of eggs around the house and Parker found all of them. He of course did not understand but saw that it was a new "toy" to play with. We went over to a friend's house and had Easter dinner there and played games. It was such a fun weekend but exhausting. Parker's Easter outfit was so cute! He looked like a stud. My son can pull off pink very well. Jer of course does not like that he was in pink but I say real men can wear pink. Parker was so cute!!!

Friday!!!!

Yeah!!! It's Friday!!!!! Oh how I love Fridays! Now in my case it doesn't really matter since I don't have an 8-5 job everyday. BUT it does mean that Jer will be home for 2 days and I get to relax a little more and catch up on things. I absolute love cleaning my house. I try to clean while Parker plays but usually he ends up crying and I get nothing done. So I take advantage when Jer is home. Yesterday, while I was at work, I had a client cancel on me so I decided to do the Gravity machine while I waited for my next client. So this Gravity machine really kicks your butt. It's resistance training on a machine that looks like the pilates one. Anyway, it's really good but I am feeling the effects of my workout today. Now I have been lifting and doing my usual weights for awhile but once you try this Gravity, you feel so weak. I could not believe how hard my workout was yesterday. But I was inclined pretty high so I think that is why I am a little sore today. So the pictures are of Parker at the park for the first time. And the other one is pretty self explanatory.

Typical Day

So today is a typical day. I have no time for myself which is fine. BUT I did get to eat lunch in peace today so that was nice. Usually Parker is vying for my attention so I end up playing with him instead of eating or doing anything else. He bumped his head today in the crib but it didn't leave a big bruise. Just a red spot. He, of course, was not really affected by it and laughed. He is such a funny kid. Jer just text me that he didn't get into Akron School of Law. That's ok. We still have 7 schools that we are waiting for. He applied to 2 schools in St. Louis, 3 in Ohio, 2 in Washingston state and BYU. I know that he will get into a good school. The waiting game is hard and stressful. I am excited to move out of California though. I absolutely love the weather but that's about it. People here are very rude and I slowly see myself starting to become that way. I hate that.

About Me

Ok so I never cared to become a "blogger" but lately I've been intrigued by this new concept. So I'll introduce myself. I am 23 years old and live in California. My husband and I have been married for 3 years and have an 8 month old son. We met at BYU-Idaho and graduated in April 2006. A good job brought us out here and I was excited. I wanted to leave the bubble and be in the "real world." So for the summer I worked on a california tan while Jer was at work. Then I started teaching Special Ed. at a high school for the 2006-2007 school year. It was tough but rewarding. I was pregnant basically the entire time I taught and it was interesting to see how the students reacted when they finally found out. Their attitudes were a little different towards me...nicer. School ended on June 12 and I stayed in bed almost for an entire month. Our son was born on July 9, 2007 at 11:47 pm. He was 8 lb. 13 oz. and I can't remember how long. I think he was 23 inches.... Since then we have had no sleep. Parker is now teething and his first tooth appeared on March 12. So he has been cranky but I can't imagine how bad it hurts. He is crawling and standing up. In fact today he stood up and balanced himself without any help. He is so fun!! He loves to eat vegetables and is trying new food like turkey rice and mac and cheese. He is such a good kid!
