countdowns.

Sometimes I blog 5 times a week. Sometimes not once. My consistency needs work.

We had a lovely weekend that was filled with friends and family but more on that later.

Countdowns, guys.
Am I right?

I used to countdown to evverryything when Nathan was on his mission. It helped time pass faster. That HUGE countdown that started at 730 days was way too daunting. So I broke it up into fun events and milestones. I had a countdown app on my phone and it was fun to keep track of everything.

When Nathan got home, we started the countdown to our wedding. After that, I kinda forgot about countdowns for a bit. Then I got knocked up and May 22 seemed like a lifetime away. So countdowns have started again! And we have been planning a million fun things for us to do to make not only my due date come faster, but to make winter go away faster. No one likes you winter. Seriously, go away.

Here's our list of countdowns so far..

4 days.. Valentine's surprise weekend!

9 days.. Move in day!! We finally get to move! Also it's Jessica's birthday!

11 days.. Idaho trip to see the Merkley's!

46 days.. Babymoonaversary!!! (yes that's a baby moon/anniversary trip).

53 days.. General Conference and my family comes to visit!!

54 days.. 1 year of marriage bliss!

58 days.. Nathan finishes another dang semester of school and starts a much lighter load for the summer.

60 days.. the CLARK COUNTY FAIR in NV!!! (most people will have no idea what this is. But to us.. it's huge. Also.. I will be huge at this point. Oh joy)!

96 days.. I turn 25!

100 days.. little lady's due date!!

ps. Wouldn't it be toes cray-cray if she came on my birthday? I wouldn't even mind! Best present ever!

So this is what's keeping me sane these days with endless snow, crazy work days, hardly seeing Nathan during the week, and trouble sleeping at night. Winter is almost done. Work is almost done. Nathan's crazzzy semester is almost done. 100 days is nothing! I once waited 730. Pretty sure I can do this. Thanks for teaching me patience, Nathan's mission!

Well.. kinda.
