January 9th
Brrr it’s cold outside! And I think all our fellow Ohio
friends and family are getting a taste of what our temperatures have been here
lately! As I’m typing this, the snow
just rolled in off the mountains and the wind is blowing maybe about 20
mph. All our cats are sitting at the
front doors watching the crows attempt to fly in this crazy wind! It’s quite
comical. Although it’s cold outside,
it’s a very comfortable 72 degrees inside.
We may have some more home updates coming up soon!! Scott and I have decided exactly what we want
to do on the walls – the bottom approximate 4’ will be horizontal wood boards,
the same boards that are on the outside of the house. Then above those boards
we will be adding drywall up to the ceiling.
The color pallet will be white/off white and a light tan. I want neutral walls so I can ‘accessorize’
the house with fun curtains, pillows, decorations, etc. But, before we even get started on putting up
the walls, we have to wire in the outlets and the lights. We already have all the wiring and I think
Scott has most of the outlets, boxes, etc, so if all goes well, this weekend we
will probably be starting to wire up the house!!
On the baby front, all seems to
be going well! I still have a few weeks
till my first appointment. I only had
morning sickness for a few days around Christmas, thank goodness! However,
something I never expected, I have no appetite for anything right now. I’m not
having cravings, and I’m rarely hungry at all.
I’ve been eating healthier – more veggies and fruits. The fun thing is I am starting to show!! I have the start of a baby bump! But here’s the interesting part, because of
my lack of appetite, I haven’t been eating as much (but I have been making sure
I do eat enough), even though my waist line has increased almost 7” so far,
I’ve managed to lose 6.5 lbs. For the
most part I’m feeling well. But I’m
ALWAYS tired! I find I take at least one
2 hr nap a day and I fall asleep by about 8pm each night and it’s so hard for
me to get up with Scott at 6am. I’m
anxiously awaiting the second trimester where my energy levels should start to
come back!!

Last night we had some fun!!
The Park County Animal Shelter put on its annual Corgi and Jack Russell
dog races in Cody. Our neighbors are
huge animal lovers just like Scott and I and they got us tickets to
attend! This was a fundraiser for the
animal shelter where lots of items were donated for a silent auction, you could
buy dinner (It was SO good! Smoked pork
sandwiches, potato salad, pasta salad, chips, and a piece of really good cake),
you could even bet on the races and they even served drinks too. We both ate dinner and then watched the
races. They were hilarious!! 5 dogs, each with little doggie coats with
their numbers on them all loaded up in the ‘starting gates’. They were so excited they would start barking
as soon as they were in the gates. Then
when they were let loose, a toy on a rope would start moving around the track
for the dogs to follow. Typically only
2-3 of the dogs actually followed the toy and the remaining dog were star
struck by all the people watching, or they’d get to the first turn and get
turned around and head back to the starting gates! It was so much fun!! I can’t wait to go back next year!
I apologize I didn’t get any pictures of the races. The place was packed!
I do have a funny story for you all…. Maybe some of you can relate! A few days ago, I texted Scott a shopping
list to get at the grocery after work.
On the list I asked him to get something sweet from the bakery, hoping
that it would be some kind of cake!
Well, when he came home, he got everything on the list except for that,
or so I thought!! Well, this morning, I
woke up and headed to town with Scott (he has to work a few hours this morning,
so I could go to the library in the meantime).
But before we left I said I needed to eat something before getting to
town because my stomach was actually growling!
I had intended on buying us both McD’s for a treat, but he said he was
eating cinnamon rolls at home.
Apparently, he DID buy something from the bakery!! And he hid it, in
plain sight, in the kitchen but I just never saw it!! That stinker!! He thought it was the funniest thing!
I don’t think I have any other exciting news or funny things
to share at the moment, but as soon as I do I’ll post them!!
I hope everyone is having a GREAT 2015 so far!!
