Dang I'm funny

Most everyone has heard this story, but in case anyone hasn't, I just want y'all to know how funny I am. Bill Murray was on our flight from Charleston to Atlanta. Of course we kept turning around (yes he was flying coach!) and staring at him, trying to figure out if that was REALLY Bill Murray on our flight. Being big Bill Murray fans, we were totally stoaked but come on--we didn't want to be those annoying fans who try to talk to celebs and stuff when they obviously want to be left alone. So anyway, we got off the plane and he was right behind us!! I was totally star-struck and had to say something, so as he walked by, I just said

"We are HUGE fans", he said thanks, and then I said "Sorry for staring at you on the plane..." and he said "Oh that's ok, you didn't frighten me" and then tongue in cheek, I said "...You're just so attractive!" And he totally laughed and said "Yeah right!" Ha!! Bill Murray totally laughed at my joke! I am officially HILARIOUS!

Trip to SC

We just got back from the greatest trip to South Carolina. That is where I grew up, and I haven't been back for 10 years! It was so fun to show Adam around (I just wish we could have done more of that--especially more visiting old friends) and he LOVED it! Madeline was actually quite a good traveller (which is good because we're going to be doing a lot of it this summer!) Here are some fun pics, enjoy!of it this summer!) Here are some fun pics enjoy! (Blogger will only let me upload this many pics, so I will try to make a slideshow and post that with all pics.)

This is at the state house --the grounds are gorgeous, covered with all sorts of plants.

My old house!!!

We saw so many old friends, went to my old ward, talked with my old neighbors! So much fun! Special thanks to Kassie, who let us stay at her beautiful house!
After we were in Columbia, we spent a couple of days in Charleston, touring, eating incredible shrimp and grits, ribs, and Maurice's bbq! Yum... We had a great great time! Now it's packing up time for the summer ... on to more adventures on the West coast!

Yeah, we have a new camera cord!

New Obsession

I am completely obsessed with wormholes right now. Weird, yes. However, the subject is soooooo intriguing, I became obsessed after watching a History Channel Special.
Last night. when Adam and I were laying in bed about to fall asleep, I said "Do you know what a worm hole is?" . LOL. and then randomly spaced about 7 minutes apart so that he couldn't fall asleep I piped up with all these random facts about wormholes. Anyway, you should check it out it's really quite interesting:

Today is my birthday!!

These are kind of older pictures, but since we don't have our camera cord, we can't upload any to the computer. Dang. Anyway, today is my birthday!! I LOVE my birthday, so that's why I'm blogging about it. Most people think that's tacky and it probably is, but dang it, this is my blog and I can talk about myself if I want to!!

For my birthday Adam signed me up for a 5K up Provo Canyon that I ran yesterday. It was really fun. Today is Sunday so we're not doing much, but I love that it's my birthday anyway. I am 28 today. Seems so mature... hmmm. I am actually really excited to turn 30. I know that sounds weird, but I think my 30's will be amazing for some reason, and I'm totally stoked. I'll have more kids, I'll feel more like a "real mom", we'll probably be "living" somewhere, maybe we'll get a dog (something I've looked forward to my whole life), I think it'll be great. anyway, peace out.

Satisfied.

Isn't that one of the best words of the english language?? I finally am totally feeling satisfied with my stay-at-home-momness. I have to admit that the transition was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have spent my whole life (well, just about) preparing to be a mom and when I became one, it was a harder adjustment than I thought it would be. But now, I love thinking up new recipes, sewing, playing with Madeline, and doing other things that I would never have time to do.
I honestly think that the world's egocentric mindset is ingrained in us more than we think. I am raising a child here, and that is so much more important than working some dumb 8-5 job that anyone could do. Anyway, I also think that being satisfied is something that you have to work on. you have to make yourself satisfied-- and work hard at becoming and maintaining that. I think that if you push yourself continually to develop your own talents also helps one to feel satisfied.
Anyway, what helps you guys to feel satisfied with your lives?
