We're Under Contract!!!

I never thought a house could break your heart.  A couple houses have.  I was picking out a very contemporary wallpaper for the kitchen in Spanish Fork and drinking ice water while watching Chris cook in the professional kitchen that the Mapleton house came equipped with.  Both houses dumped us before either of those fantasies […]

My "Week Off"

I am not sure what I envisioned for my week off of house hunting.  I suppose I imagined Greta and I-- poolside--with a tall, frosty glass of lemonade and, of course, a sippy cup for the little cub.  Maybe nice strolls around the block.  Perhaps we would even have time to surprise Chris and make […]

Taking a week off.

Chris just left for work.  It's Monday again.  Last night, Brandon and Stephanie came over for dinner and I was explaining that I feel like I have deja vu often.  I set my cell phone on the counter to clean the kitchen and Greta starts crying in the background.  I realize I may not be […]

Vote for Us!!

Entry #33 by Julia in Pleasant Grove, UTWe were buying our couch and ottoman, literally checking out--we looked over and saw this dining set. It seats 6, but is also expandable...we were only two at the time, my husband and me. But we both simultaneously said that we wanted to purchase it as well. It […]

Tagged...so here it is.

A little about Jules, through the eyes of her husband: 1. What is your signature color? Pilot G2.  Preferably very fine point. Black. 2. What is your most embarrassing moment? Does it have to be embarrassing for me?  If not, I would say every time I inadvertently stumble upon the Tyra Banks show. 3. Would […]

6 month stats

Greta's pediatrician loves her.  He is older (I would say late 60s) and I hope he never retires.  He always comes in and talks to her for awhile like she can talk back.  He compliments her name every time and always tells me I am doing a great job, too.  I need to hear that. […]

Battle of the Homes

We didn't get that house that we both loved so much.  It was a pretty depressing day when we got that call. Part of me still thinks that maybe in two weeks, they'll change their mind and say we can have it.  But while we subconsciously wait for that to happen, the Great House Hunt […]

Just days old 1 month old 2 months old 3 months old 4 months old 5 months old 6 months old!!! Sometimes when Greta wakes up from a nap, I tell her how much she has grown in just a couple hours.  Looking back on the last 6 months, it's incredible.  She has grown, literally, […]

Photo Booth

While my sister, Andi, was in the states visiting we spent about an hour playing with Photo Booth on her Mac.  We laughed and laughed.  Just imagine these characters posting the following pictures on their facebook and captioning them as, "Just partying with my friends." I'm cracking up all over again.  I miss her.

Venting Start.

Today seemed like a hard day.  It started off decent.  I worked out and showered before Greta got up for the day.  My visiting teacher came over and we had a good chat and then it started going downhill.  Greta has become more mobile.  She can get around a room.  She rolls and scooches her […]

Ralph Lauren models can't be stopped.

Mom and Dad Marcum We just got back home from another trip to Rexburg.  This one caught us by surprise.  Chris's dad had a kind of pre-heart attack this week and had to have bypass surgery.  Quadruple bypass turned into five bypasses.  The whole family gathered together.  We fasted and prayed.  There was a game […]

I spent over $10,000 in the last year.

ON RENT!  Whoa, I feel sick about that.  I am never going to see that money again.  When I found out about that, I started thinking about how nice it would be to buy our own place and stop this renting business.  Chris, of course, agreed whole-heartedly.  So the process has begun. Last night we […]

Photoshoot

I have four sisters, I know all about photoshoots.  Everytime we are all together, which sadly isn't as often anymore, we spend a couple hours getting ready.  I usually do everyone's hair, Krissy helps with the eyebrows and makeup and we all swap clothes for the big photoshoot.  My mom takes the pictures in every […]

Sleep 2.0

Last night, after 20 months of marriage, we switched sides in bed.  The idea originated because I didn't want to sleep next to the open window anymore.  After one night, I am hooked!  I slept so well last night. Turns out, I like the other side of the bed. Greta also has a new way […]

A Non-Greta Post

 Something has to be said.  It has really been bothering me lately.  I would say I HATE , but I don't say hate, so I very much dislike...even ABHOR when I am leaving a comment on someone's blog and I have to put in the word verification.  Those things are never words and they make […]

5 month old love

I love you, my little five-month old. I love your huge, open-mouthed smile that never ends.   I love your chubby thighs and the rolls hidden by your diaper.   I love that one big curl on top of your head.   I love your brown, brown, brown eyes.   I love your little voice […]

Our tropical vacation in paradise.

 Psyche.  We just got back from our vacation to Rexburg.  We now vacation to Rexburg--wow.  We came home a day early so that we can have tomorrow to vacation from our vacation.  If you need a vacation from vacation, then usually something didn't go exactly as planned.  It's true: 9 days in Rexburg is just […]
