there’s a party on the rooftop top of the world
OD sucks. This is the third time I’ve written this entry. In OD’s partial defense, the first time I lost it was when my computer came unplugged and died (this laptop lasts about 30 seconds without a power cord). But the second, it appeared to be saving by itself the whole time. Then, I hit save, and nothing. But two Milano cookies have given me the motivation to write for the third go-round.
I have a new resolution to start doing things that I always talk about doing yet rarely actually do. Rather than just sit on the couch like a bum (you know, like I’m doing right now while writing about the things I want to do).
So far on the list for this summer, I have:
- Practice golf
- Learn more about photography
- Run regularly
- Go to the beach as often as possible
- Use my new rollerblades
- Become a better cook
- Use our new grill
- Read books that I fall in love with
- Play some tennis
I think if I can increase my time spent on things from this list, I will be a happier person. And amidst all of this, there’s the wedding planning. We’re looking at photographers right now and our favorite is a guy that was not only recommended by our planner but two girls I know have also used him. He costs more than we wanted to spend, but he comes highly recommended. David Abel Photography
We went down to VA Beach this past weekend with my college friends for part one of our typically biannual trip. Might not get to go down in the fall for round two, but it was nice spending a three day weekend this spring.
Stayed up until sunrise the first night there, and Jacob played photographer for Bill and me while Scott told Liz "I love you" for the first time on the dune. Good way to kick off a trip.
We went out on the boat Saturday, a gorgeous day for riding around and water skiing. Bill was able to get up on the water for the second time ever, so I was pretty proud of him! Took a few videos of each of us riding, but I can’t get them to embed.
OD has pissed me off so many times saving and then not saving. :-/ I’ve gotten to where I copy the whole thing before I hit save just in case. Those are great pictures of you and Bill! The first one is too cute. 🙂

YES the same thing happens to ME when I try to write an entry. WTF. And PS, I am so depressed about tonight’s ice cream incident that I can’t even sleep.

love the photos! The first one should go on your save the dates 🙂 re: its not a loanable book. And I’m already on the 3rd one anyway. haha. I got aj started on them last night bc he loves the show too. he has the sony ereader and that thing is so easy to just download (free) pdf files to it. He got them all for free in like 5 minutes. He is going to try and put them on my kindle tonight.

oh ps there is no way in this world I could wait til the baby was born, even if i was michelle duggar. I can’t take the suspense! plus you cant properly buy things or plan a nursery without a gender! or at least, you can’t go all out and you’ll have a lot of shopping to do later. I need lots of time to think of a name too.

umm, you do need to write more. David was aj’s grandpa’s middle name and he decided he’s rather go with that. And we can still call him jace as a nickname or JD (haha i lvoe scrubs) so its all good. of course I like the name david much better than danger anyway. he said he decided a while back he wasnt going to use it but liked egging me on about it. lol

re: they’re contractions that don’t do anything basically. They don’t hurt, just pressure, and your stomach tightens up. Its like your body practicing I guess.

re: Oh man. Miscarriages are SO hard. And so tricky. Gosh, let’s see here. I got several sympathy cards in the mail and although I know their hearts were in the right place, I didn’t like getting them. I might be alone in this, but it just.. it fucking sucked, HAHA. To be honest? Completely so? There’s really nothing anyone can say (including Hallmark) right now that will make them feel better. But being there? Telling them that you’re there for them if they need ANYTHING? That means the most. Whatever you do? Do not say EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. That was the worst thing anyone said to me. Actually, lots of people said that to me. It’s not comforting. I hope that helps? Do they have a sense of humor? You could always walk over there and bring them a bottle of wine, ha ha? If someone did that to me that would have made me laugh so hard. I probably would have felt epically better.. and I probably would have guzzled it in one sitting. 🙂

re: Maybe spending some time with her would make her feel better. Maybe as a distraction? I don’t know. I found out I lost the baby when I was on vacation, by myself. It was the worst 5 days of my life. I would have given anything to have friends and/or family around to comfort me but they were all working and didn’t live close enough to just stop by. You can always send them flowers? With a note that says, “Thinking of you..” That would have been nice, too. Just.. any gesture that is heartfelt and not too smothering would be a good thing to do. Make sense? And if you do go the card route, be sure to write a nice personal message. That might make it feel less.. Hallmarkish.
