Baby Hungry

Pretty much since the day I turned 25, I started thinking I really need a baby. Sometime in the past couple of months, I really really really want a baby. I even wrote a paper in my English 150 class about whether or not children make you happy, which by the way pissed off a guy in my class becuase the whole essay was pro baby. I don't think the essay really helped. It did help me to remember why I don't have one yet though. Scott and I have discussed it at length and if I think with my head and not with my heart, we are just not ready. Not that anyone ever is ready, but we could definitely be more ready. We are too selfish right now. We don't want to give up time with each other to give to a baby. Not to mention the money.
My sister and I were talking the other night about Trace Adkin's song,"You're Gonna Miss This". I realized while we were talking about it that we think too much about the future and we don't really think about how much we might miss the phase we are in now. Once we have a baby, we can't come back to the time we have now. The time where it is just the two of us, and we could up and take a weekend trip after an especially trying week. We can just go to dinner without making it an entire ordeal. I know I will miss this later on in life. I just need to cherish the phase of my life I am in and quit thinking about the future. The future will come, and the changes along with it. What matters is that I am happy in the present.

Our Vacation

Scott and I had a vacation the week before our anniversary. Usually we try to get our anniversary week off, but since Scott has to bid on his vacation weeks, it just so happened our week was already gone. It was fine. We just celebrated a bit early. For our vacation, we didn't plan anything. It was great. Sunday we rode up Nebo loop and ended up in Nephi for a while. It was really cool to head up the loop and see all the fall colors. God is the greatest artist isn't He? Monday, we looked up some things around here to do that maybe we haven't ever done before or haven't had the time for in the past. We decided to go to This is the Place Heritage Village, but it was not really open during they day because they had the haunted village at night. That was rather disappointing, but the Hogle Zoo is right across the street and I had never been there, so we went there. It was a lot of fun. Scott and I can make most things fun anyway, but I actually really enjoyed looking at the animals. There were sooooo many baby animals. It was really cool.

Isn't that baby monkey the cutest? There were a bunch of baby tigers too.

The picture is not as good, but there are a couple of baby tigers with the mom in this picture. Baby animals are so cute. There were these kids there that kept calling all the babies "darling". What kid talks like that? Anyway, that night I had to back in time for class, so we headed back around 3.

Tuesday we went golfing I believe. We went up to some executive course in Salt Lake somewhere and I actually hit the ball pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised.

I have no idea what we did Wednesday... did we do anything? Maybe we ran errands or something? I might even had Wednesday and Tuesday mixed up. But I know we did something Tuesday because I decided to skip class. It has been too long sadly.

Thursday, we headed up to Midway to use a free night stay at the Zermatt resort from my work. Scott upgraded the room to the Honeymoon Suite for my anniversary gift. It was nice. We really like it. He also took me to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, well actually we used the $50 my work gave me along with the hotel stay (it was actually the Christmas present they gave all the ee's last year). We had a good time. It was cool to have the ice bucket filled for us, and have the beds turned down with chocolates on the pillows. Makes you feel special.

Friday, since we were right across the street from The Homestead, we played golf again. It was REALLY cold when we first started, but it got much warmer and Scott was prepared. We took warm clothes and Scott brought hand warmers. We bought hot chocolate and payed extra for a covered cart as well. We would have frozen with the cold wind in the uncovered cart. I actually played pretty well again. I wasn't putting well, but my drives were really good. Scott started making fun of me for playing boring golf and hitting it right down the middle over and over. It was a really good time. And it was pretty cheap, at least for The Homestead.

Friday afternoon we headed to the Park City outlets to do some Christmas shopping. We bought a couple of gifts, but we still have a lot to go. Scott bought me a new down coat, which I needed badly, as a Christmas present. I am so excited to have a coat that will be able to keep me warm i the freakin cold Utah winters...I guess that was the end of our vacation. Saturday we didn't do much more than buy groceries because I got a cold. Which I have to say only lasted a few days. I was really happy about that. I contribute it to downing Vitamin C like crazy and Zicam. Well there you go, or at least now I have a record of our vacation. It was a really nice vacation. I enjoyed not having the stress of travel involved with it.

I'm Back!

Sorry folks, I haven't blogged in over a month. I have just been crazy busy. I got tired of school, and then got really behind in school, and all my free time was used up trying to catch up on school stuff. I am finally back on track as far as school, and maybe now I can start blogging again. I know at least Scott has been disappointed that he couldn't read about our lives... so I am going to be recapping the past month with a few different posts. Feast or famine!
