Double the PINK, double the FRILLS!

So with all that has happened with school beginning and all . . . I have just been overwhelmed. I am sad that I haven't had time to keep up on my blog. I think that is the story of my life. I have so many things going that I get run down. I need to take some time for me and keep this updated and my scrapbook updated. Whew!

Well, that is really not going to happen, as we are expecting TWINS in February. I will deliver before that, because full term for twins is 35 weeks, which comes the beginning of January.

Oh well, I will fill my time with two adorable IDENTICAL TWIN GIRLS. Yep. We are expecting identicals. Crazy!

We love you all and love seeing your blogs and keeping up on your lives. Hopefully I can get better at this. :)

David's Birthday

March 17th
Better late than never!

NEWS!!

Ok. I have to put a disclaimer on this post. Many of you might have wondered - "Why has Melissa stopped blogging?" Well, I thought it was just because of the end of school. So many things to get done and I didn't have time to sit down and update the blog and work on scrapbooking pages. Also, I had a trip to Washington, DC right after school got out. Then, the next week - - Youth Conference. So, who has time to blog. This week, I have been EXHAUSTED. It is actually a miracle that I am sitting in front of the computer typing this cause the last 2 days, I have been flat on my back.

Why all the tiredness? Yes. I'm pregnant. 7weeks along. This little one - - only 1/4 inch so far has completly wiped me OUT! I go from a nap, to trying to muster the energy to get up and clean, to crying because I have to sit down again after 20 minutes. For all of you who know me . . . that is really hard for me - - I think I am superwoman sometimes and try to accomplish everything. I am used to pushing my body and it being able to handle everything I throw at it. Well, not now!

Through this whole thing - - I have to say my husband, David, has been a SAINT! He has catered to my every need. He's been adorable, encouraging, empathetic, and downright sweet. I am not sure I could get through it without him. He's been very understanding. I love him so much!

My mom keeps reminding me that after 2 1/2 - 3 months I will feel better. All I can say, is I'm certainly glad I have a break from teaching right now. Not sure how I would have done while teaching school too. Probably had a nervous breakdown every evening I got home. Whew!

Disneyland 2009

Disneyland 2009! Yeah. This was back in January. Trying to make up for lost time, well lost scrapbooking. Between school, a trip to Washington, Youth Conference, and some NEWS - - - I was tired!!! Well, to tell the truth - I still am. But now I can catch up!

Melissa turns 30!

Savannah and Christina come for a visit!

WICKED

Ok. If anyone reading this blog has not been able to see WICKED yet. Wow! It is fantastic! David gave me tickets to the LA showing for Christmas. It was the best performance I honestly have ever seen! If you get the chance to go, pay the money and enjoy. Ok. Not the prices in Salt Lake! Last time I checked they were going for around $200. CRAZY! If they are under $100 - just pay it and you will not regret it! At least I didn't.

Malibu Beach

Ok. So for all of you that keep reminding me that I haven't updated my blog. Here goes. I have now successfully learned a new program. Well, the basics. It is a scrapbooking program that my mother gave me a year ago for my birthday. The only problem, I am not a PC user. I am an educator and we only have Macs. Well, I gave it back to her, hoping that they had a Mac version. No such luck. The copy of the program sat at my mom's house for a year. She never got around to downloading it to her computer.

Just a month ago, I realized - - wait a second - - I just married a PC user. So . . . I decided to try to merge the worlds of Mac and PC. I am now successfully using the program after a few VERY HELPFUL instructions from my sister, Christina. Hope you enjoy it!
