Recent Discoveries

So here it is. My new findings as of late.
  • So, 2 guys have gotten either ENGAGED or MARRIED to the girl that they DATED right after ME! Lets just say, thank goodness for the awkward-standoffish-stay away-I hate you vibe that emanates from me. It proves to have come in handy a time or 2. Or 3. Or 4.
  • 9 months and 3 days in the future could NOT come soon enough!
  • There has been FAR too much snow this winter, and I am more than ready for it to be done already. However, my handicap pass is quite nice and convenient during this time of the year...

  • I would love, more than ANYTHING, to volunteer at an orphanage...just to hold the babies and show them that people love them so they can live long lives. It breaks my heart to think of the little kids laying in rooms all day, everyday, without any physical contact from adults. Volunteering at an orphanage is my DREAM!


  • There is nothing wrong with epidurals. In fact, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be all for them someday :)
  • Watching 3 baby births in 1 day was perfectly wonderful birth control. In fact, possibly the ULTIMATE birth control. I keep being told that one day I'll get over this form of birth control.
  • Authoritative parenting works FAR better than yelling. Discipline with love, not with anger. (I just wrote a paper on this... so interesting! Kids respond so much better, plus they feel loved... and in the end, they don't act out nearly as much!)
  • Little elementary kids are very entertaining and sweet. They always give me such nice compliments. I like them. :)
  • Clorox wipes are probably the greatest invention next to duct tape. With post-it notes coming in a close 3rd. They help me on a daily basis when it comes to cleaning up my lovely roommates crumbs. And when I say daily, I mean DAILY. They are an outstanding thing.


And now... you can go and ponder these little pieces of information that have come to me during my wonderful days of sitting through long classes and my confrontations with wonderful roommates whom I adore so much. And, just random stuff because I'm weird and like doing weird posts :)

You are alive! School hasn't eaten you! Fun post! I was ready to cry looking at the pictures of the babies! It made me want to go hold my baby, even if it meant waking him up. I need to read your report on Authoritative parenting, like seriously email me. If you don't have my email, Brooke does. Thanks for the update!

Love the post! haha! I am a firm believer of Authoritative parenting! It really does make for better behaved children.
If you are so afraid of birthing maybe you could adopt all the sweet kids in the orphanages! :) Then you can hold them all day! It's such a sad thing huh? If we didn't have free agency I'd say sew everything closed until marriage! :0 but since we do.......I guess there will be more poor sweet innocent children being put in orphanages :(
On a much happier note 9 MONTHS!! Aren't you SO EXCITED!! That will come up so fast! I think that is just awesome!!
Duct tape is the best! :)

Great post! Is that a picture Kim sent you of the orphanage? I want to go with you when you go!!! And what guys got engaged? You still need to get someone to take you to Outback. That brownie was to die for! I like that you have a countdown. Now I know when Kaylee will turn 2 ;). Oh, and I totally love Clorox wipes too. I bought a big 3 pack from Costco and I love not running out. I have a crazy paranoia about meat and I have to wipe everything down a ton after cooking it just in case a drop landed someplace I didn't know about. I really need to get over that. Oh, and I really want to take your classes with you. I hated the homework, but the classes are so great!
