"I feel pretty, oh so pretty!"

You know those days when you get up, and you do your whole morning thing, you know, facebook, breakfast, sit ups, shower, all that jazz, and you're all awake and a little bit sore, and clean, and you just feel fantastic?  Well today was one of those days.  I got plenty of sleep (fell asleep reading when Jesse left for work and didn't actually get out of bed until 10:30), did my little workout, took time to stretch, and all that...and I felt pretty.  And then I looked in the mirror, and I remembered that feeling great and looking great do not always go hand in hand.  My bangs were half stuck up in my bun, and my face was all blotchy, but I felt good, so whatever.

Lately I feel like Cristin's selfie obsession has rubbed off.  Jesse says she's ridiculous (sorry, Cristin), and I'm afraid of what he might be thinking.  But then I remember that he always says what he's thinking, so I guess when he thinks I'm ridiculous he'll tell me.  Like last night when he told me that he was tired of hearing me talk about thinking about going to Disneyland, or not going, or maybe going, so now I have to go.  I don't suppose I have mentioned that...Raelyn and Cristin and I think Rae's friend Hannah Hoover are planning a sister trip to Disneyland (even though none of those three are actually related...) and they have extended the invitation to me.  Rae is obsessed with Disneyland.  She talks about it all the time, and probably believes that it is the cure to cancer, or something.  We did discuss the possibility of me contracting a fatal disease and convincing Make-A-Wish to send us all to Disneyland, but Rae said it wouldn't work.  Anyway, we worked out a budget, and realized that we spend more money that either of us realized, even with our $250/mo rent.  It would be hard to maintain our current standard of living if we had to find a real place to live.  However, even with our enormous gasoline expenses, we still have managed a budget for Jesse's jeep payments, a set amount of money to save each month for buying a house some day, and we have any income that I bring in as our fun money, which can be very different from month to month, but should enable me to save up enough for Disneyland in 3 or 4 months, I hope.  And just think of all the selfies that will be born out of that trip!

If all goes according to plan, we will convince Charissa to go with us as well, so we will have two photographers, which will surely result in very thorough documentation.  As you all know, nothing makes me happy like well documented adventures.  Hence this blog...I don't know if you can call it good documenting, but at least I have a record, however random.

I hope you enjoy my ramblings as much as I do.  Recounting our adventures helps me feel connected to all of you at home, and I love having you a part of my life, even in this abstract form.  Life is going by so fast...all these babies are growing up and looking just like the babies that came before them.  Next thing you know you all will be watching our little Texans growing up and getting married and having babies of their own!

Anyway, I guess the point of my sentimental baby talk is just that for now I'm looking forward to staying a baby a little while longer, and going to the happiest place on earth and acting like a child with my sisters, and someday we will all go back with our own babies and put the pictures together and say "you look so much like your aunt!" and it will be happy.
