oh boy... i needed to vent

OH boy do i ever suck at this.. it should be renamed 30 week challenge as it nearly killed me to update my blog everyday and it lasted not even a week! i suck haha

But seems how im back ill let you know whats been on my mind lately.

I wish that being pregnant didn't make people not talk to you. Sometimes i wish i was pregnant so that people would actually include me in things. I also wish that facebook had a limit of how many baby related things you can post on your wall. And to block pictures of the inside of your uterus, and having your child compared to fruits and vegetables. I know i will regret posting this buuut i'm just saying whats on my mind!
I also am sick of hearing people complain about stuff because they are pregnant, guess what i'm extra tired and sore and moody too.  I have troubles sleeping and get sick. I'm just so tired of hearing every detail. i really do not care how many times your threw up this week or even today for that matter, and im pretty sure i'm not the only one.
I'm really starting to contemplate getting rid of facebook all together ! or just the people whos status' and updates i have blocked because they drive me bonkers. I'm pretty sure i could live without it!

I hope i don't turn into a crazy pregnant lady thats for sure!

Day 6 A blog you follow regularly

I think this lady is incredible! I just love following along on all the things that she is accomplishing when Doctors told her she couldnt.
She is incredible, take a look at her story!

She inspires me to be grateful for everything that i have in my life, even the trials as they make us who we are !

Day 05- A picture of you and your friends

Well this is a VERY difficult one for me, as when i was growing up i had alot of different "groups" of friends.. So i guess they all deserve to be on here!

I will start out with my oldest friend- TJ, our moms were friends in highschool so i guess we were kinda forced:P

 

My best friends in highschool

I can say that my mom grew to be my best friend, i was a bratty teenage girl at one point but i can definetley say she is one of best friends now!

My basketball "friends"

My bridesmaids :)

\my brothers -despite how much they tease me

Hawna and tricia! I lived with hawna, was planning on living with tricia but it didn't work out, we definitely had alot of fun though!

And last but definitely not least, my BEST friend in this WHOLE WIDE EARTH. My hubby and i treasure our friendship and the ability we have to get along is great! i love him!

Different groups of friends but i love them all!

Day 04- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

Pretend like this was posted yesterday. I helped Todd and Becky move and didn't get around to it, perfectly good excuse !

Feb 2009 I got the chance to go to Peru with my dad. We went with Dave Clark. Brother David as my dad calls him, he is SO awesome. We went with his group The Andean Foundation For A Better Life. 


It was probably the best trip i've ever been on. If you take a look at the itinerary, you will see it keeps you VERY busy for those 11 days. As Dave says, you can sleep when you get home! or on the 6 hour layover on the floor of the airport!


Machu Pichu was imense and almost overwhelming. It was fun to learn about and participate in their culture.

Taking a much needed nap after hiking all the way to the top, it was SO beautiful!

Our "dinner entertainment" they were soooo creepy! and wanted you to dance with them!

I would like to go back with Blake now, but they go every other February, and Blake was in school this time so hopefully i can catch it next time. 
The part that really intrigued me about going to Peru was the service aspect. We got to build a stove for a village that would help feed over 100 a day. It was exhausting hauling all the brick but worth it, especially as we visiting hospitals and orphanages and got to see the extreme need that those people have. Things that i took for granted without even thinking twice about it. Things like carpet, running water, even shoes. 


I wish i wouldn't have let the kids play around with my camera. They ended up reformatting my card and i lost ALL my pictures, so i was very dissapointed in that but good thing my dad and Hawna and Fisher were there! I also wish i wouldn't have gone to the mall in Lima Peru, as this is where someone pushed me over and stole my bags (of all the cool stuff i was buying for my friends ) and my money. It was an outdoor mall and as soon as they had come then had vanished into all the people. That put a downer to the end of my trip but im very grateful i got the opportunity to grow and to experience that!
It was so much fun ! i can't wait to go again!!!

got up at like 4 am to go haul bricks from the side of a hill, into a truck, drive the truck across the village, unload onto a tarp only to find that we then had to put them into wheel barrows and move them down another hill. that was a VERY exhausting day! But look how GREAT it turned out!


I could tell you SO many stories about Peru!! It was awesome, and great to be there with my dad!

Day 03- A habit that you wish you didn’t have

Well its day 3 of the challenge and im charged with sharing a bad habit that i wish i didn't have...
to me there are 2 types of habits
1) conscious habits
2)sub-conscious habits

One of my conscious habits is color coordinating my closet i wish i didn't do it but i just have to!

I have another habit which most people would say is conscious but i don't even notice it when im doing it is biting my nails, For as long as i can remember i've had the ugliest nails which constantly break and hang nails galore! It's really gross and i wish i didn't do it, but i also was my hands alot too so i guess that semi makes up for it.

another one of mine would have to be that when i'm standing, i put one foot on top of the other. This wouldn't seem like a big deal, except during muddy days! I noticed mudstains on top of my left shoe ALL the time! I consciously paid attention and sure enough whenever i'm just standing there i stand with my right foot on top of my left.



My husband thinks i'm addicted to facebook, i'm constantly checking it. well maybe even the internet in general. It seems to be much more fascinating then my real life, and living in Calgary i really have 0 friends other then Blake so its nice to know what everyone else is doing, so i'd hardly call it a bad habit.

i do lots of quirky things but i would hardly call them habits, these are just a few!

Day 02- 10 of my favorite songs

1. Changed by you- Between the trees

i would quote the lyrics to Blake when we were first dating, giving him hints that i loved him :)

2.Swing Life away- Rise Against

Because Blake serenaded me with this song while we were dating.

3.I look so good (without you) -Jessie James

It reminds me of when i broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years, and how i was actually happier because of it.

4. Sugar Rush- Cash Cash

This reminds me of when i lived with Hawna, and we would go cruising and pump tunes, and now we're both old married ladies, its so crazy how much we have grown in this past year. Also reminds me of the hand motions we had that went along with this song and singing it at Trek, and Hawna's ma' thinking we were on drugs.

5.All i want to do- Sugarland

Because it is so freaking catchy!

6. Nacho Libre..

Because i know all the words :)

7. Forget you- Cee Lo Green

Because its funny haha

8. 7 things - miley cyrus and teh spoof is funny too.

Because in highschool my best friends and i came up with a dance and would dance to it everytime we drove to Lethbridge.

9. Baby- Justin Beiber

im not a justin beiber fan and blake makes fun of me when i break out to jbeebs in the shower, but i enjoy this song :P

10. Hot and cold- Katy Perry

Because this was in Peru late at night.. or rather very early in the morning? After sunstroke and being high up in the mountains all day. It makes me giggle everytime!

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 10 interesting facts about yourself

1. Everytime i get in my car i sing "true colors" by cyndi lauper..don't ask me why!

2. I can hate someone based completely on how they chew their gum.

3. I turned down blake on the first date when he asked to kiss me.

4. I may have had the cutest proposal out of anyone i know.

5. I used to be scared of escalators because i thought if your shoe got caught at the top it would eat you. So i always made sure my shoe laces were tied and i jumped at the end so my feet didn't go near it.

6. I enjoy reading - just feel to guilty when im just sitting around and not doing anything so i often dont.

7. I've had a gym membership for over a year and i could count how many times i've gone on my fingers. I'm such a slacker!

8. I've kissed 2 boys in 1 night, just to say that ive done it.

9. When i was little, i wasn't allowed to eat at the table because i ended up wearing most of my food.

10. I have so many clothes i make Blake use the closet in the spare room so i can hang up all my clothes.

Good luck to me ! lets hope this 30 challenge thing survives!!!
