4 more weeks

We have four more weeks until our little baby's due date. Do you know how that makes me feel?

Like it's the last month of my life.

Like my life is just about to begin.

Like it couldn't come fast enough.

Like there is not enough time and I need another nine months to prepare.

Like there is no way I could be 22 and be called MOM.

Like I'm about to meet someone very important.

Like my heart is about to belong to someone else.

Needless to say I am anxious and have mixed feelings and don't know what I'm doing.  But then I look down and watch my belly move and know that whatever fears I may be having, the wonder and excitement of it all surpasses all negative emotions and I am calm again, and sincerely "overjoyed" (as Stevie Wonder would put it).


Besides all of that excitement, Scott and I just got a new camera off of craigslist. It's a Cannon something something something, Digital SLR thingy. I'm not really sure. All I know is we had the PERFECT model this weekend to test it out on.  Becky and Landon came down for the 4th on their way to Yellowstone and we got a few snaps of sweet little Mona. She has me completely wrapped around her finger. Can't wait to have my own baby girl.








Just woke up!

                             4th of July!


We went to a parade in the morning of the 4th, and Mona spent some time at the splash park and riding on the carousel. We barbecued with Scott's cousins the Crooks, and later that night we watched Mean Girls ( i know so patriotic) and Landon bought us all shakes at a new place down the street. A great visit with the Copes.

Last but not least I have to share this epic fail that happened in San Diego, CA. Somehow they lit off all their fireworks on accident at the same time. Here's the video of a firework show in 10 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrPCEubDZ9A

June- My favorite month of the year!

Moving on from my forgotten post in May, I move to my forgotten post from June:

We had a GREAT month.

I filled my complex for Fall 2012 semester!- Big accomplishment for muah.

I turned 22. We went and visited Becky and Landon and sweet little Mona.  I got to spend my birthday with my twin sister again! We hadn't been able to do that since we were in high school so that was really fun.  And Scott being the sweet loving husband he is bought me a jewelery box for my birthday because he was tired of sitting on my earrings or finding them on the window sills.... And he bought me a maternity swimsuit. It's adorable. And no. I will not be putting up pictures. Just trust me on this.

We went fishing and swimming and got away from the heat.

We got popsicle makers and are still getting creative with that...

We went to the drive in a couple times: Men in Black 3, Mirror Mirror, Snow White and the Huntsman, and the Hunger Games. - All good!


We tried white cheddar popcorn from Orville. And he did a good job on that one.

I sang in a music competition in Idaho Falls and Scott went and cheered me on. No they didn't award me any money or record contracts, dang it. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-1VE6aH9o0&feature=youtu.be

We refinished a dresser for baby and are doubling it as our changing table too.

Scott washed the Impala. And he did a really nice job. I stayed inside next to the AC cheering him on.

I got sick for the last two weeks of June- HUGE bummer- but finally figured out it was a sinus infection and got the antibiotics to kick it.  During this time I discovered HGTV. Yes. I am guilty and YES. I am in L-O-V-E.  My favorite shows are Drew and Jonathan and Design Star (Go Hillary!).




There's just something about JUNE.

Forgotten Days of May...

I haven't written in 2 months. I know it's awful...

May was great and went by fast (obviously).  I (yes without Scott- he had to stay in Rexburg for school) spent a couple days in Indiana for Adrienne's graduation. She is officially moved out! (and currently resides with Collette and Dave in Washington)   We had a great time- the whole Peacock family except for Joey was there:(  But I loved my sister time. The best part of the trip had to be when Mona was mistaking me for her mamma. So CUTE. (Kind of sad too- she was pretty out of it because she had a virus)  We all slept in the same room too. It was great being around the sisters again. Love them.





Other than that I can't remember anything else we did in May. This is the problem with not writing for 2 months...
