Why Me?

So I've been thinking about posting something for a while now. I told Sherrie that it is for girls, and it usually is. I don't see many of my married friends posting, but oh well. I just can't understand how I ended up with her. She's beautiful, always smiling, waits on me hand and foot, always goes shopping to get ME stuff, cooks, cleans, sings, and NEVER complains. I don't know if she doesn't complain because I told her when we were dating that I wouldn't put up with it, but I'm stuck with her now, and she still won't complain. She's practically 9 months pregnant, can't sleep, upset stomach all the time, back hurts, pinched nerve in the shoulder, belly hurts, feet hurt, I could go on, and yet she still asks me everyday what I want her to cook for dinner. The number of massages she gives me in a week compared to the number I give her is about 17 to 1. That's not a misprint, and she's 9 months prego!! I don't have to deal with the stress, pregnant body pains, work, cooking, cleaning, making sure the baby's room is ready, having a cervix that won't dilate, pregnancy weight, or anything else. All I do is stare into a microscope all day. And she still treats me like a king and thinks I need the attention. Why me? I was a jerk to most girls I dated, make sexist comments all the time (some heartfelt, some sarcastic) yet I still ended up with a wife with zero flaws. She's practically perfect in every way! I've asked myself why many many times. I came up with 3 possible answers. 

#1- She did something horrible before she came to earth and is making up for it.

#2- I was horrible before I came to earth and the Lord knew that the only way I would ever have a snowball's chance in hell of making it through this life would be with the perfect wife. 

#3- (This answer is doctrinally sound, but anyone who knows me knows it is a long shot at best) Maybe I was a good guy before I came to earth and somehow pre-qualified for the perfect wife. 

I'm going with #2 but why does she have to put up with me? Where is her agency? Or maybe the Lord slipped her a big wad of pre-earth cash if she'd take me. Either way, I don't deserve her. She never mopes or complains, and is never ever moody. I don't know how some guys put up with their wives, but I still think I could tolerate a little moodiness. Heck I made it through living with my 3 sisters didn't I? (stay tuned for all 3 rebuttles to that comment) 

Anyway, this is for Sherrie. I could have searched the world over 2 or 3 more times, and still made the same decision. And to top that off, she'll be an even better mother. How did I get so lucky?

38 Weeks Down and 10 more to go!

Ok, so things are looking good if I was due in DECEMBER! The Dr. came in yesterday and the first thing he said was, "It looks like your going to have a December baby." I think he said it to be funny and he was probably trying to get a nasty reaction from me. The thing is, I'm actually not too uncomfortable besides the lack of sleep. But hey, when you've had mono twice in your life and you have come to the realization that you are going to be sleep deprived for the rest of forever, things aren't so bad. Anyway, so after the little "check up" he changed is original statement into a statement of truth. We're not getting any closer folks. The little counter on my page may just have to go. It will probably drive me crazy. The baby is completely content with life in my tummy and he may not come out without us taking action. We do realize a lot can change in two weeks but we're not planning on anything spectacular. Although, Justin does have a test tomorrow and he said it would be great if the babe decided to come tonight. . . 

Blogging is for Girls...

Hello everyone. Sorry it's been so long since WE'VE had a new post on here. I've been waiting for Justin to do it and he said that blogging is for girls. However ladies, he will be doing "play by play" sports commentary when the baby comes. He thinks it'll be funny. We'll see if the computer makes it home from the hospital in one piece especially once he starts laughing and won't tell me what he is typing. It could be a little intense. . . We might need Kimmy there to slap him on the head if he starts putting too much information or compares me to a cow or horse. It'll give him something to do though and that will actually be a relief. He gets so bored at the hospital.

We have a little over two weeks left until the baby's official due date. Things have been going really well and we have another appointment tomorrow. I didn't ask any questions at the last one. When Justin's not there I always forget anything I want to ask. Justin usually has some pretty logical questions for the Dr. (Justin will be getting medicinal marijuana during the delivery. J/k.)

Anyway, we went up Providence canyon a little while ago and had a cookout w/Brady and Christi. It was really fun to hang out with those two and the boys cooked dinner in their dutch ovens. We had BBQ chicken, potatoes and peach cobbler. Yum! Here are some pictures we took: 

We were also told that we were going to have to move the truck because some guy had built fences around the fire pit and was just mad the fence could be moved to back a truck into the place. He had threatened that the sheriff was going to come and impound the truck, but nothing gets by Brady and Justin. They asked him where the sign was posted saying we couldn't be in there and the guy was like, "Uh...it's not right here but it's on a piece of paper at the bottom of the canyon." He ended up leaving and guess what? No sheriff ever came by. We figured he built the fences for community service and was just upset that someone was smart enough to get in there. (It really wasn't rocket science when the fence isn't anchored to the ground in anyway...) We still had a good time though. 

I dedicate this post...

This post is for RONDA! :) Are you happy now?

Quirks

I've been Tagged! The Rules are... tell about 7 quirks of yours and then Tag 7 fellow bloggers to do the same, be sure to leave a comment to let them know. 

1- I can't sleep if the closet door is open. I thought this was really weird until I started reading other people's quirks and a lot of people have this same issue. . . 

2- I HATE the green grammatical lines that Word gives you. This is mainly just an issue at work when I'm issuing contracts and stuff. The spacing is off in some of those documents and I can't print them until they are all gone. Also, the signature lines have to be centered. It throws the whole page off balance if you don't center those lil' buggers. 

3- I have to put chapstick on right before bed. I've really been trying to work on this because Justin doesn't believe in chapstick unless your lips are bleeding from every crack and about to fall off of your face.

4- I can't eat a tootsie pop w/out chewing it before I get to the center. It's impossible. 

5- If the shower curtain is closed, I have to check and make sure no one is in there everytime I go in the bathroom. 

6- I get nervous and can't sleep if the deadbolt AND lock on the handle on the exterior doors are not both locked before I go to bed. Again, Justin doesn't think this is an issue and tends to unlock the lock on the knob if I go upstairs before him. (I hear it everytime buddy!) He figures that we'll hear the person breaking in better if they can turn the knob all the way and still not be able to get in. 

7- I have to put lotion on my feet after I get out of the shower and before I go to bed. It just feels good, ok?

It's kinda fun to read about other people's quirks and know that I am not the freak in the world. So I tag Brooke, Britt, Camille (I know Christi tagged you but I don't know if you've done it yet...), Ronda and anyone who feels like they need an exciting post on their blog. :)
