Apartment for Rent

Hey everyone -
So my sister in law has been living in our basement all year but since her contract hasnt sold, she will be moving out this week and we will need some people to live in our basement. If anyone knows anyone looking for a place to live, please direct them to me or Brice. It is a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment suite with shared laundry. Just $600/month. No contract. We would prefer a student married couple or two single females. We appreciate all the help you can give us!
Thanks

Fallon

I will be seeing you later today

25 Things

I know I know - Cute pic huh?
Well thanks to my friend Lana, I have to post 25 things about myself and then tag 10 people. I dont have ten friends that would actually do it so I'll see what I think of at the end of my 25 things.

1. Currently, I feel like there is a mountain growing on my cheek. I thought zits werent supposed to happen post high school.
2. I am not a picky eater. There are very few things that I will not eat. One being bananas - it reminds me of the texture of vomit. The other is hard cheese. It MUST be melted. I know, Shannon and Shelley think I am 100% crazy for this.
3. I love to sing. Love it. I took lessons for almost 10 years and have done nothing with it. So, I sing to Claire, when it is just me and her. And I sing for real. Not goofing off like I do in front of my friends
4. I hate doing "outdoorsy" things. Camping, hiking, hunting. I like to wakeboard as long as there is no seaweed. I guess its not so much the activity, more the things that come with it. See #5
5. I HATE bugs. Hate them. It makes me cringe to even think about it. I have an image of myself at 15 with a spider in my room on my roof. I cant kill a spider (not because I like them - I am too afraid) so instead I was throwing feminie hygiene products at it in hopes it would fall off the roof and go out of my room. I ended up waking up my dad to kill it. It was 2am
6. I have recently taken up gardening and have actually really enjoyed it. There is something about knowing that you grew something from a seed. Brice and his parents did most of it, but I have watered and weeded everyday for the past month. And I am starting to harvest
7. I wish I had the money to travel.
8. I secretly wish that I could write. Not a story or a poem, but I wish I could convey my life on paper the way that I have seen others do, but I dont know where to start.
9. I miss my old job a lot. I dont regret not going back, but I really miss the people that I work with.
10. I like old lady things. I paint ceramics, quilt, garden and cook and I love it.
11. I cant stand clutter. My pet peeve is when Brice comes home and makes piles of stuff when he doesnt know where else to put it.
12. Im stealing this from Lana - but I love to exaggerate stories. Sometimes the story just doesnt sound as good when its not exaggerated. I dont flat out lie, but sometimes I add more detail than was originally there.
13. I HATE being called out on my exaggerations....Brice loves to do this when I am telling stories. He gets in trouble every time.
14. I love to do lists. Sometimes I will write something as simple as "make bed" just so I can cross it off. I feel such a sense of completion when I do this.
15. My mom is my best friend. I love my whole family to death, but my mom and I have a special bond.
16. I hope my daughter and I have that same bond (see #15) when she is old enough to have that relationship with me. I love her more than anything in the world
17. I hate wasting time. When I sit around doing nothing I feel like a waste of a person.
18. I love watching my daughter. I wish I could see the world from her perspective. It is pure innocence.
19. If I can avoid it, I will never shop at Babies R Us again.
20. I wish I could redo high school. 100% differently
21. It is one of my dreams to have someone nominate me for what not to wear so they can redo my wardrobe so I can be a "cute" mom.
22. I love Entertainment TV. The lives of celebrities facinate me.
23. I love to stay in on a Friday or Saturday night with a movie, ice cream, my daughter and my husband.
24. I love the rain. I wish it would rain more often in Utah. It is my favorite type of weather.
25. I wish I had more money so I could completely redecorate my house. I would hire my brothers to help me make it look beautiful. I get bored with the current style very easily!

Ok so now I am going to tag people. Sorry if you've already done this and I dont know about it
Just humor me

BREAKING NEWS

Well - it's official. Claire slept through the night for the first time on Thursday night. I thought she was dead when I woke up and hadnt heard from her, but nope, just sleeping peacefully. She went to bed at 1030 and slept until 7. Wooooooo
I thought it might be a fluke, but nope, becuase last night she went to bed at 930 and we didnt heard from her until 715!!
Now that I have posted this, she will probably never do it again! It was a lovely 2 nights though!

To Riley

I am dedicating these pictures to Riley since she was the one who requested an update. Love you Riley! This is Claires new favorite toy. She LOVES this thing for some reason and will stand in it for 45 minutes at a time if I let her.

She loves outside and she loves her toys. I love her eyes and her smile in this one

I just like this picture

Her first basball bat. She's going to be an athletic star

I just love my little chub so much. I wouldn't have her any other way!

I apologize

I am sorry for the lack of blogging. I got a call from my sister in law last week demanding that I update and I still didnt, so here I am. The only problem is that not a whole lot has happened in the past month. I went back to work. I am working at the call center at Nu Skin. It's an ok job. It's not nearly as fun as the job I had, but it's not the worst I could have either. It's not even the job that bothers me. It's being away from Claire that I can't stand. I am fine once I am at work, but leaving her about kills me everytime. I thought it would get easier, but no, it's not the case. Anyway, I am just working about 25-30 hours a week, from 4-10. Brice gets home at 315 so we see each other for about 30 minutes a day which is awful. But hopefully only temporary. I'll be able to start working from home within a few months.
Brice will be going back to school in two weeks. I am sad, but excited for him to be done....in two years. He's in the process of finding a new job so wish him luck. And if you hear of anything, let me know!
An update on Claire, she turned 4 months on July 28th. I cant believe how fast time goes. She had her 4 month shots and took it like a champ. I couldnt believe it. She is 18lbs, 6oz and 27inches. In the 100th percentile for weight and height. She is already growing out of her 3-6 month clothes. All of her 6 month clothes are pretty much winter clothes so she spends a lot of time in onesies, which is actually easier for me. Anyway, I will post some new pictures and a few of the things she loves shortly!
