distressed denim & a few things you might not have known about me.

I am slightly OCD. That is why I try not to follow too many people on Pinterest or Instagram. Once I start I cannot stop, until I have made it allll the way through my feeds. 

I hate tangled cords. Or visible cords. A necessary evil, but if I had my way, everything would run on fairy dust & magic.

I have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). That is what made it so difficult for us to get pregnant & carry to term & makes it very difficult for me to manage/loose weight. 

If I could have any super power, I would want to be able to fly. 

I kinda really like Star Trek (not all of them, but ya know).

I am totally that annoying person who always has a song stuck in their head and hums or sings it constantly (usually only 1 or 2 lines of it).

I'm kind of afraid of heights. I think rock climbers are insane.

Cotton mouth kills me. Literally, I die a little inside.

My favorite colors are green, yellow and blue.

One of my favorite books of all time is Mara, Daughter of the Nile. I don't know what it is about it, but I read it in 7th grade, and I've never stopped loving it.

the library.

I love the library. Isn't it just crazy that they let you walk out of their doors with armfuls of books! It is like walking out carrying knowledge or something. I always feel so rich when I leave. The only down side is there is always a due date, and sometimes, we forget when that is. And when you walk out of the library with armfuls of books, that can be an unfortunate date to forget.

Ps. these pants have seriously saved my life. I don't think I ever posted them on the blog before I got pregnant, but thanks to their super stretchy waist, they are one of the only pair that can still get past my hips.

I'm so sick of car problems. I feel like our cars have sucked at least eight years out of our life. I can't believe how much it is to fix these stupid things. Will someone just invent teleporting already?

Ok thanks.

Justin just gave me the great news that his car will be 1k+ to fix. And were we just dropped that much on my car, and have a baby coming in a month (and I would like to be able to take some time off), that just 'ain't gonna happen'.

It is hard too, because early in our marriage, Justin fancied himself quite the race car driver, and really put his car through the ringer, so in times like these, when you really need to come together, it can sometimes be easy to point fingers and get upset with each other.

I'm sure there is some very important lesson for me to learn in all of this, and with all the fires round these parts, I suppose I should just be grateful we have a car to drive, that isn't burnt to the ground.


But maybe then, insurance would cover it... 


...I think I look a lot like my mom in these pics. So at least that's nice.

There has been a lot of this action going round here lately. It seems like no matter what I do, I can't avoid a good ol' pants adjustment for longer than 10 minutes. Thank you to my darling husband for capturing this magic moment. 

I also have been pretty much LIVING in these shoes. I know they basically cost an arm and a leg, but Frye does make some amazing shoes. These wedges are sooooo comfy and supportive, and make me feel like I'm actually succeeding in putting something semi cute around my growing ankles. 

This shirt has also become a major wardrobe staple. I can pretty much wear it with anything I want to, and it still buttons all the way. So, win win win.
