My exciting new project

I've started a new blog called Through Feminist Eyes, with the intention of helping bridge the gap between feminism and the gospel. Whether you like it or not, there are many Church members out there who are hurting because of confusing (and sometimes contradictory) ideas taught in the Church. My hope is to create a place where people feel comfortable expressing their ideas, asking questions, and seeking answers that will bring them peace, all while supporting the gospel. I know I have some cool awesome sweet feminist friends out there who might be interested in that sort of thing, so I thought I'd spread the word.

I'm so excited (...I just can't hide it)

This is currently on our wall. You can feel jealous:

And these are things I'm excited about:

-General Conf'rince (also called "Gen Con" by a select, elite, incredibly attractive few) is this weekend and I'm going to watch it on the comfy couches at Jordan's and my families' houses. This also means that delicious food will be involved.

-I only had one migraine this week, and I slept it off. If you don't know anything about me, you don't understand how amazing this is.

-I had the coolest field trip ever on Tuesday; I went to the library. My History of the Book class visited the Book Repair place and I fell in love with the idea of binding books even more. I am totally jealous of the people who work there.

-We probably maybe have a sweet place to live next spring. As nice as our current place is...it's not really that nice.

Gamble if you want to win

I guess I should clear the cobwebs from this old blog with the latest news. We haven't been updating very often mostly because we don't have a lot of exciting stuff going on like we had before we were married. I guess that's mostly because there's no drama from ambiguous relationships, girl/boy trouble, messy roommates, or any of those other exciting things that come with being single. Also, we don't have anything big like getting married to build up to, so... Yeah, not a lot to write about.

That is, not until NOW. Dria almost spilled the beans in her last post, but we still weren't sure whether it was true or not. Now, however, it has been verified to be 100% true.

We're going to have a baby!!!

I'm seriously so excited! We both love babies, and now we finally get to have one of our own. I think moving into a ward with 70-80 babies under the age of 2 was what really made us decide to have our own baby now. We had been talking about it for a while, but we finally feel like we're ready to accept this big responsibility.

Of course I'm nervous about what this will mean for us as a family. I'm going to have to be even more of a responsible adult now that I'm going to be a father. I can't describe all of the feelings and thoughts that are going through my head. It's crazy! But I'm excited and happy; I know we're going to have a wonderful experience with our first baby. And in eight more months, we'll be able to share tons of cute baby photos for everyone to comment on and enjoy.

Now we just have to figure out what to name the baby! (And whether it's a boy or a girl, of course!)
