On to Thirds

As Trevin and I were getting ready to go on a date tonight I played my flashback game like I always do and asked him what were we doing last Halloween. Yup....Ninja Turtles and blissfully married for 4 months.

On our way home from dinner Trevin mentioned being at my parents house for Halloween one year. So once again we played the flashback game...two years ago Trevin met my parents for the first time Halloween weekend, we'd been dating for 2 whole months.

This is our THIRD Halloween together. Yes we are now counting thirds of holidays, so exciting!! And now we're 3 months pregnant.

Who knows what will happen by the time we can start counting fourths.....

A Tribute to Trevin

For all of you who thought Trevin was a manly man that only watched ESPN, grunted, and ate chips you are in for a surprise. When I came home from school this evening to a clean kitchen and dinner in the oven I decided it was time you all know how great the guy really is, you probably already knew but just in case. We seem to be having a rocky time the last few weeks with this whole I feel like I wanna puke constantly thing but Trevin is always so calm about it, even when I almost threw up on him the other day. There have been additions to his repertoire lately including.....

breakfast, lunch, and dinner making--I'm kind of a two year old when it comes to eating these days and Trevin is so nice and patient and will make me anything, even if I don't eat it and have him make something else, even if its 7:00 in the morning or 12:00 at night.

leg rubbing--I get the worst restless legs ever now especially at like 2 AM. Trev always wakes up and will rub my legs, not to mention he puts up with my endless flutter kicks all night

laundry/house cleaning--somehow our house seems to get very messy between the time we get home at night and the time we leave for school in the morning but somehow it also gets all cleaned up like magic before I get home from school, no thanks to me.

The list could go on and on but the point is Trevin is absolutely amazing and so awesome!! I couldn't ask for a better husband. Without him I probably would have no clean clothes, have starved to death and have horribly restless legs right now but really, sorry to get all mushy but HE IS THE BEST!!

Typical BYU Girl

Being pregnant my final semester at BYU was definitely the last straw, I must finally come to terms with the fact that as much as I have fought it I am a 100% typical BYU girl. I know, its embarrassing. Only recently have I been able to admit to it. This embarrassing stereotype has followed me ever since sophomore year and as much as I tried to resist it I only fell deeper and deeper into the stereotype.

#1 Started dating the RM right after he got off his mission. He was 21, I was 19

#2 Got married within a year of meeting and was still under the age of 21

#3 Trevin gets called into the bishopric of our married ward

#4 After a year of being married we're having a baby, I'm still 21....

#5 All of the BYU stereotypes will cumulate this April when I am a week short of giving birth and waddle across the stage to get my diploma at graduation.....

Yup....typical BYU, but we're happy and loving life and sooooooooo excited for our new little baby coming April 28th-ish!!!!!

A break down in the system

Since Trevin and I have been married we have had down the absolute best system. I would look through the ads before we went to the store, we never went into the frozen foods, chips and cookies, or prepared food aisles. We would stick to our list and come out saving oodles of money. Yes we were pretty much awesome at it.

Lately however grocery shopping seems to be a little more traumatic. When I finally realize there is no food in the house and the realization that we have to go sets in I'm not usually very pleasant.

Since the break down in our grocery shopping system our cart is usually filled by browsing the store for anything that looks appealing and more and more items seem to be coming from the once forbidden aisles.

Maybe one day we will get back to our amazing system but for now I'm not complaining, as long as we keep the shopping to a minimal.

All Alone All Weekend

The last time I slept alone in my bed was the night before this.......

Now I have to sleep in my bed alone all weekend!!! The first time in 15 months but in return I get to be in this glorious city for three days

I'm still trying to figure out how in the world I will cope. I'm sure a little bit of shopping will help cheer me up :)

Flashbacks

With school starting and the weather turning to fall it makes me start to play the flashback game. Trevin probably gets super sick of it because everything that happens reminds me of something from the past. Here is how it goes:

We drive up the canyon and I say "awww remember our first date when we came up here, awww how cute, now we're married." Or we go to a football game "Remember when we were dating and we went to football games together, aww how cute, now we're married." Yeah he probably gets super sick of my reminiscing so I'm sparing him and turning to blogging.

This time last year this was me. The junior core accounting program pretty much killed me and all I ever wanted to do was sleep. I am sooooooo glad to me done with that year, hardest year of school ever.

This is the glorious building where I spent the entire past year. This time last year I lived in the Tanner building. Bleh, thank goodness that is over, now I only spent half my life in there.

This time two years ago is much more fun to play flashback about. Trevin and I had just started dating. Its crazy to think about all the things we did then that we would never do now. Trevin hiked the Y with me and I ate beef. We did many a group date with his buddy Trevor and his now wife Natalie. Good times!!

This time two years ago Trevin and I took a road trip to Fort Collins for the BYU vs CSU football game. While in Ft Collins I met all of his buddies from school and he met my parents.

College Football: We have a love/hate relationship

As the official start of college football kicks off tonight I'm debating my opinion of the college football season. Currently Trevin is watching the Utah vs Pittsburgh game. It has only been 30 minutes--my blood pressure has risen drastically, I've developed a twitch in my right leg, and my brain feels like its being squeezed to the size of a popcorn kernel. I don't know what it is, there is something about random football games that I find totally frustrating and boring. Don't get me wrong, I love BYU football. In fact I am so pumped for the game Saturday. And I love the Broncos too. I'll even watch those games occasionally. I just can't seem to understand the need to watch every football game regardless of who is playing. These are the best conversations:

Me: Trevin who do you want to win the game?

Trevin: Oh it doesn't matter I don't really care

Me: Why are you even watching the game....

Seriously. I guess I'll just have to hit the mall more to easy my college football anxiety.
