Weird... (author: Melody)

Jason and I decided to try out for the musical fireside group From The Heart on campus again on Wednesday. Last time, Jason made it and I didn't. It totally bummed me out that I was cut, but fortunately through the socials they had, I became pretty good friends with the members of the group and didn't feel completely left out.

Well, this time around, I made it! I'm really excited about it! ...but Jason didn't make it. I think at first we were both just kinda in shock. He'd been in it for two semesters... how did he not make it this time? So THAT bummed us both out. :(

The more we think about it though, it may be better this way. This is really the only time during the week that I get out of the apartment for anything substantial. Jason, on the other hand, has work, his calling as our ward's executive secretary, and two ward sports teams, would have a difficult time with the commitment.

So yeah. Kinda weird how things turn out, huh? I'm not quite completely convinced that this is the way it should've been, but hey, what can ya do?

Just for pictures :) (Author: Melody)

So my mom likes having me take pictures every other week to see how my belly is growing. We took pictures a couple days ago for the 24-week mark, and I just wanted to let you see them!





So yay. My belly bump is getting bigger. Only 3 1/2 more months to go! Haha.

Big Stuff for the 8th! (Author: Melody)

Hey everyone! There are three pretty big things going on today:

1. I'm 24 weeks! Only 16 more weeks to go. :) I'm going to have Jason take a picture of me today so I can post it later.

2. I had a doctor's appointment today, and everything seems to be good. I get to take the gestational diabetes test next month, and I am NOT looking forward to drinking that sugary stuff for the test. Yuck.

and...

3. Today is Jason and my one-year anniversary! We got married a year ago today! I can hardly believe it. The time has passed so quickly. And we're still as happy as can be. Sure, sometimes things got hard, but we worked through them, and we're all the better for it. Hurray! Happy for us!

Anyway, I hope life is great for all of you!
