Looking up!

I think some how people around BYUI campus knew that I've been having a rough couple of days, or maybe I'm finally starting to look at the glass full rather than half empty either way today seems like a nice day and people are being incredibly nice to me. This is why I say this...

I was walking to the taylor building to go to my humanities class and I was about 1 yards or so away from the door. I noticed a guy standing their holding the door for the people who were actually close enough to walk through, but noticed again that he stayed there after everyone had gone in. He stayed and held the door open for me! Now this is actually a normal thing for BYUI campus. Its definatey not the first second or third time that some guy has stood there and waited for me, but as I was entering he looked at me smiled and asked me when I was due. I said in May and then he congratulated me. I don't know why but for some reason I was just flattered by his patience and wanting to know about my little baby. To say the least it made me happy.

After that class I was walking and some girl just randomly asked me for my help. I actually recognized her we had some class together but we both couldn't figure out which one. I've had to many in the last year to recall. Anyways she too looked at my belly and said "OH WHEN ARE YOU DUE?!!" I told her and then she said that I looked adorable. I don't know about you other women, but when someone says that to me and I feel like a fat cow, it just makes me feel good and then I can wear my belly with confidence and people will think I look cute. It just made me feel good.

Then on my way out the building and into the MC there were some boys handing out flyers for the varsity boys basketball game. I normally whip out my phone and pretend I'm busy cause I don't want to sit and talk. Well apparently the boys caught on to my little trick and stopped me anyways they told me that If I shot the basketball in the hoop then they'd give me a free ticket and then they'd let me shoot again to win a ticket for my husband. I wish I could say that I made the first, second and third shots but I didn't. I like to think of them as practice shots afterall I haven't held a basketball in at least 2 years and I like to think that my basketball belly was hindering my natural basketball talentss. HA! Anyways I did make the 4th shot, and the 5th and the 6th! So they gave me 3 tickets to the game this saturday. Normally Ron and I would never put the money out to attend such an event, but after I told him we thought "hey why not? Its free tickets and a cheap date night!" So we're going to it afterall.


Then a while later I had a girl randomly come up to me and say that she loved my hair. I just thought is there something in the water today? Honestly you like my hair? To all of you who don't know what my hair is currently styled as I will tell you. Its a bun!!! Thats it I got up late this morning whipped my hair up in a bun and through a headband over it to tie in my shoes and camisol. HA! I appreciated the compliment anyways. It gets me to wondering though. Why is it that when I actually try to do my hair I don't get anything, but when I don't it seems to be a hit? I'm confused by this.

After all this I just went grocery shopping, but it was one of those satisfying grocery trips. I wasn't sure at first cause I spent about 130 dollars and for Ron and I thats quite a chunk of change for us. We're not rich by any means. We try and limit our shopping to about every other month or so with small trips in between. This one was satisfying though cause I found a lot of great deals!!! so many things that were a dollar!! We were lacking in the lunch necessities you know quick things on the go like yogurts and granola bars. We basically live off of quick things for lunches. I found tons of things for a dollar or less. Albertson's is awesome and has these buy one get one free on meat. So I got 2 pkgs of SIRLOIN STEAKS For only 12 BUCKS!!!! So I bought lots during this trip because I thought I'd rather fork the money for it now then buy one run out and have to pay twice or even triple the amount later! So I did! Now my food storage actually looks full and stocked!!! My pantry isn't down to the crisco, vegetable oil, and a loaf of bread, and my fridge and freezer are full too!!!! It made me happy, and takes a lot of stress off my mind in trying to figure out what to do for dinners. Such a relief

Then I also cleaned and reorganized my freezer and Food storage Closet! Awe it makes me happy to open them up and see tidiness!! For the record I think I'm starting to nest. I wrote this huge to do list the other day, and when I get going on things around the house I can't stop!!!! I go crazy seeing cupboards and things that are in disaray. So now I'm looking even more to having a few days off during the week next semester to get ready for our baby.

Things are definately looking a lot better for me. I still hate school and I'm still trying to stay a float in my classes, but I'm kinda coming to the conclusion that its important and that I should try but I'm not going to loose my sanity and my happiness over it! No way!! We'll see if I can keep it up for another week and a half. Then Its time for spring break in st.g and I can't wait!!!!
