Stained Glass

Since I'm still unemployed, and sick of job hunting, I've decided to see if I can start selling stained glass suncatchers and luminaries. I've been making them for years, but mostly just for gifts. So for the past couple of days I've been masked and gloved (to keep fumes and chemicals from harming the baby) . . . fun times!

Here are photos of some of the the things I'm hoping to get into botiques and on Etsy, maybe. Anyone tried selling or buying on there?

Go Cougars!

For my birthday I decided that I wanted season football tickets to the BYU games. While in school and between my undergrad and grad school I only missed one home game the whole time (and that's because I was sick at home, watching the game on the couch). And, well, Rob's not a big football fan, but I figured if I asked for the tickets for my birthday, how could he say no?

Here's our first photo at our first football game together

And then there was a little coercion . . .

Actually, he's been very pleasant at the games . . . and I'm really grateful he's been a good sport. I guess it works pretty well, I go to all his superhero movies (well, most. . . I put my foot down at Hellboy 2). :)

It's a BOY!

I'm 18 weeks pregnant without a new doctor in Utah (we're still settling in and figuring everything out). Last week we went to an ultra sound studio in the mall to find out the gender.

Still lots of time to pass before the baby comes, but at least now Rob is ready to talk names (before we learned the gender, he didn't see the point).

Welcome to our (my) blog!

Just the other day Rob said, "Blogs are for people that THINK other people are interested in their lives." . . . So, here's me . . . hoping. Little did he know that about a month ago, right before we made the big cross-country move, I had made it a goal to get a blog going in September.

I'm surprised it's so early in the month and that I'm actually working on it (but then I'm also surprised that I'm still jobless, and that we're still living in my parents' house), really, it's probably procrastination, as there are many other things that I really do need to get working on.

For a while I've been a blog junkie--reading many friends'--my 9-year old niece even has a blog (though she hasn't updated it for a while), so it feels like everybody was ahead of me on this one.

I figured I'd get this going before the baby comes in the beginning of February--that way updates will be more more habitual already.

Happy reading!
