2009 Shall be Fine... just after a few little glitches...

Wow! Another year has gone by. It was so full of wonderful things! I love new years. Writing down my goals, having a new start. I think it's healthy, 'cause otherwise January would be a very blah month!
Our trip home from Utah was awesome. Trey saw that there was a plane leaving directly to Chicago across from our gate at the airport. He asked if we could just jump onto that plane (just because he is so good looking) the stewardess let us! It was right at Brooklyn's nap time, so she just fell asleep in my arms for the first hour or so, then was in a great mood for the next hour and a half! I knew that was an omen that 2009 is truly going to be FINE! But, when we arrived home, we heard rushing water and constant drips of water coming down on our steps. Luckily it wasn't our house that flooded - but it was our neighbors. Our landlord came over and we looked in their apartment - the ceiling had come crashing down!!! It looked like a demolition crew had been in there!
Our walls and ceiling had water damage, so we have had these huge fans blowing 24/7 and part of our ceiling had to be torn out!
Crazy!
Well, we count ourselves lucky. Nothing of ours was damaged. We are just praying for our neighbors and that they didnt' lose much in the damage.



That same night we got a call saying that my youngest sister, who is in her senior year of high school, Vic got into the family's first car wreck. She is fine, just a little rattled.
I figure my parents got off pretty well with 6 kids and only one teen accident though.

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
