Letter to me...

My turn! A la Brad Paisley, here's what I would tell myself if I were to write a letter to my 17 year-old self.

1. DON'T STEADY DATE IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! It's not worth it and neither is he.
2. Talk with your sisters more about the church.
3. Date lots of different types of people - they all bring something to you, even the bad dates.
4. Stay late after stake conference June 2005 - your future husband is there looking for you.
5. Save all the money that you can in college and buy a house or condo - it will be really hard to buy later on in California.
6. You'll end up driving in snow one day. Seriously. No, seriously.
7. Get a double major - liberal studies for elementary school and math for jr high and high school. It'll make finding a job at a high school so much easier!

I tried to get Matt to do one too but apparently since none of the other husbands have done it, he wants to be cool like them. Oh well....

Calling all Women!!!

Alright ladies, I need another opinion. For those of you who have had children and those who haven't yet - what are your thoughts about having the birth of your baby video taped? It would be the view from the woman's head so no actual va-jay-jay shots or anything. But in order to get video of baby's entrance into the world, I would assume that there would probably have to be some shot of the woman, ya know, legs spread in all their glory. What are your thoughts? I want honest opinions cuz I'm trying to get a feel for what's either happened, what you've refused to let happen, or just what could happen. I look forward to all the feedback. That means I need more than just the same 3 people!!!

Locks of Love!!!

Yes, this means I officially have no hair. My sister Lindsay and I were growing out our hair to donate to Locks of Love, something we were doing before I got pregnant and realized I would be getting fat. Lindsay had never done it but it was my second time. Well, due to schedules, we didn't get it cut at the same time but I just got mine cut last Saturday. First off, this is as short as my hair has ever been, with the exception of when I was a toddler and it was still growing out for the first time! Second, I don't do my hair - I hate to. Now I am forced to not only use product in my hair, I HAVE to blow dry and straighten my hair. It's a really good cut, and it's as low maintenance as it could be this short, but it's really weird for me. What makes me the most crazy is that my hair just sits on my neck and I can't move it!!! But it's for a good cause. Let me tell you though that my hair looked like a lot more when it was actually attached to me! I've also included belly pictures of me at 26 weeks and Shannon at 21 weeks (I think). My hair cut makes my face show the pregnancy a little more but I guess it's good that I at least have it as an excuse! =)
