we have news!!!

There is something I’ve meant to say for months now. I’ve avoided it because I was always afraid it would come out wrong and people would be upset. I suppose I could have watered it down, but I didn’t want to. Sometimes a little vemon is human. Besides, if I only used OD when I knew for sure no one would misunderstand, I’d seldom write again. And whatever I did say would be utterly bland.

I have noticed a most grating social trends. The minute Scott and I “have news,” more than a few people are certain we are announcing our pregnancy. After all… (never mind. It’s better for one and all if I leave that sentence unfinished.)

Memo: Life does exist — quite beautifully, even — outside of the realm of parenthood. I can make announcements about college, careers, callings, friends, and even myself. There is more to me than the desire for a child. There is more to my life than what it does not have.

That is all.

(So, anybody willing to ‘fess up that my tongue-in-cheek title caught them?)

I’ll fess up, just cuz I know how much you want to have a baby and how excited you and Scott will be when that moment comes. Love you much!

Oh, definitely. But then I though… “wait, if it were that, I don’t think I’d be finding out on OD….” So, is there any news? Or the memo was the news? J

Oh, my gosh, I KNOW what you mean! Especially here, I feel like people were watching expecting my stomach to pop out from the SECOND we got married! It’s incredibly frustrating. Every time something remotely out-of-the-ordinary happens with me, everyone’s like, “Oh, my gosh, are you pregnant?!” I just want to scream at them STOP PESTERING ME!

Kell i love you and I know we haven’t talked in like 2 years but I’m getting married in Barnes Park on May 19th at 5:30pm I hope that you will be there. If you talk to Sue tell her I love her too. Muah Jayme
