My Little Dancing Queen

Mya gets more fun every day! I can't believe how big she is getting. Lately she loves to dance. I turn on the radio (or any music, even her toy piano) and she will just start bouncing (that's her dance moves she gets from her dad). It's really cute when she does it. But she also loves to dance with us. I think she just thinks we're weird or something, but I'll just say that she likes it.

It's Only Been A Year

So it's been just over a year that we've lived in our house and I still have not decorated our room and the kitchen. So lately I've been really wanting to do that. I've felt like our room is so plain, so I finally found something that Lisa and I designed that I really liked and wanted for my room.
I still have a little more to do, but am just not sure what yet for our room.
The kitchen is my big project. I haven't been sure what to do because I have that big wall that extends past the kitchen. But I've finally figured it out and have almost gotten everything together for that.

I just have to paint my shelves now and buy a few picture frames and I think I'm good to hang everything.

I feel like my mom lately I've been doing so many crafts. That's pretty much all I've been doing in my spare time during the weekends. I have a table in our basement that has had unfinished crafts that I've either started or gotten the stuff to do, but just haven't taken the time to do them. We'll, I'm almost done.

I decided I just needed to get the other stuff done before I started on my kitchen crafts. I've been way happy with how everything has turned out. Randee, Amanda, and Becky came over tonight to do the one with the 3 pieces of metal to hold pictures with me. It was way fun to have them all there doing it with me.

Justin's Been Tagged

So, I'm finally doing the husband tag:

1. Where did you meet? Blind date. This is actually a really funny/weird story. I met Justin’s mom through my work when she would come get vinyl lettering and she told me that she wanted to line me up with her son. I didn’t want to go on another blind date, plus I’ve had a mom set me up with her son before…been there, done that. Justin was dating another girl at the time and didn’t want to take me out either. So good, I thought that was over. Then my friend Rachelle visited Justin’s ward one Sunday and he found out we were friends and he wanted to set Rachelle and his friend up. Also, around the same time (I don’t know the sequence of everything), his uncle that he works with said something to Justin about a girl in his ward (me) that he should take out. Once Justin decided he would take me out, it was only to double with his friend and Rachelle (which they never went out again). Neither me or Justin were planning on getting in a relationship because I had kind of given up on that and decided to go on a mission, and Justin didn’t want to worry about a relationship during that school semester. But we hit it off right away and neither one of us even went out with another person after that.

2. How long did you date before you were married? We dated 3 months and then got engaged. We were married 3 months later (so 6 months).
3. How long have you been married? Just over 2 years. Our anniversary was in August.

4. What does he do that surprises you? He’s pretty predictable, but once in a while he’ll just do something way sweet that I just love. Sometimes it’s flowers, other times it’s just a note, or fixing something or cleaning something while I’m gone. He’s sweet.

5. What is your favorite feature of his? His eyes and smile. His can always make me smile.

6. What is your favorite quality of his? He cares so much about others. He’s always putting others first and trying to make them happy.

7. Does he have a nickname for you? He’s always making up nicknames for me. Usually just Nat, but there’s Crap or Poop Face (I think it’s really funny) and Nat-for-brains (I don’t even know how he came up with that one) that he uses a lot, too. But he’s always giving me new ones.

8. What is his favorite color? He doesn’t have one.

9. What is his favorite food? Italian – There’s some dish an Italian lady made for him once and I would say that’s probably his favorite. I think it was some sort of baked pasta dish.

10. What is his favorite sport? Basketball

11. When and where was your first kiss? It was after our 3rd date. We went to dinner at Chili’s, then a Weber State hockey game, then back to his house to watch a movie. On the way home I so thought he was hinting that he was going to kiss me (but he claims he never thought about it) and he walked me to the door and gave me a kiss (he claims I was just giving him ‘the look’…Our stories don’t match up).

12. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? I like our date nights - probably that.

13. Do you have any children? 1 - Mya

14. Does he have a hidden talent? Probably…and is just not letting me know about it…

15. How old is he? 25

16. Who said I love you first? He did. We went to the cabin for the day and when we came home a way bad snow storm hit. It took us twice as long to get home. But when he dropped me off that night he told me.

17. What is his favorite type of music? Old Country. He’s like a grandpa already!

18. What do you admire most about him? His testimony and knowledge of the gospel. I learn a lot from him.

19. Do you think he will read this? Yes, he usually reads my blog.

My Sick Little Girl!

Having my little girl sick was so sad today! Mya's never gotten sick other than allergies since she's been born, but not today. Mya woke up first at 2:30 this morning (which is not like her, she sleeps through the night) so I just brought her in our bed, then at 7ish she woke up and had a bottle...not long after, her milk was all over her, me and the bed. So at first I wasn't sure if it was a fluke because she was a spitty baby before solid foods, but not long after she was throwing up more. It got so bad that she wasn't going more than 15 minutes between purges and it was just all her body could do to get out just a little bit of stomach acid. I just felt so bad. I seriously just wanted to cry with her. But tonight, she is doing so good! She has had pedialite for the last 8 hours and hasn't thrown up in 7! Her personality is back, too. For a while there she wasn't even smiling and just with the look on her face you could tell she was miserable.

Holy cow I love being a mom! Even though I was washing bedding from both of our beds and had thow up in my hair, I loved staying home with her today, taking care of her and holding her. The only thing I did today was shower and get dinner in the crock pot, the rest of the day was hers. It's just this rewarding feeling of taking care of her and realizing how much you love someone to not even care about all of the negative. Anyway, I'm just glad she's better.
