NO This IS NOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
But oh how I wish somedays...
But oh how I wish somedays...
So we all know how this song ends, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. Things sound so simple right?! But whoever wrote this song forgot a bunch of stuff like first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes graduate from college, then comes get the man through college, then find a secure job, then find a job that has stable benefits, then save up a lot of money, then travel a little bit to far away places, find a cute place to bring a baby home to, THEN comes the baby in the baby carriage. So I'm baby hungry. Can you tell?! This is something I've been thinking a lot about lately, maybe this is because I spent the majority of my Christmas Break home a lone with a whole lot of nothing to do. This gave me a lot of time to think, and the one thing I kept thinking about was our future children. I even had two dreams about the little ones that will one day join our lives. These were the kind of dreams that you don't want to end, the ones where you wake up and become a little sad because you realize you were only dreaming, the ones where you want to go back to sleep! I wonder, when will we get to start having our little ones?! What will they look like? What will they sound like? Will they have dark hair, red hair, blond hair? Maybe I think about pregnancy because I have three sisters/sister-in-laws who are pregnant. Will my kids even have cousins their age?! Will my dad be around to seal them in the temple when they get married? I wonder sometimes. One thing I don't ever wonder about though is Caleb and his parenting skills. I already know he will be the best dad in the world, I just know. The way he treats the 14- soon to be 17, nieces and nephews we have is pure bliss. And I know that one day, one day we will have our own little family. It's easy for me to sometimes want time to pass and the future to quickly arrive. It's easy to always be wanting more or wanting to move on to the next step in life. But for now, I will keep living in the moment and loving the time the husb and I have just the two of us. Yes, I will keep dreaming about that one day, but enjoy these days too. Life is good ya'll. Today Caleb gave me a message from Emily, she reminded him that it's been five weeks since I've posted! Since that post, a lot has happened, I became one year older and wiser too, enjoyed a splendid christmas, and had a fabulous night kicking in the new year. I will talk about all of these soon. But for now, at least you all know what's been on my mind. Babies, but like I said, no announcement intended, at least not for a few years.
-Peaceout.

Emily look what you have done! this is all your fault and some of Jessie's. Jessie had a baby and you forced my wife to blog!
hahahaha i LOVE this post. you are hilarious. but really....you don't HAVE to wait for all those things to happen before you have a baby :) it would be nice, but it isn't necessary. haha. whenever it happens you will be the best mommy ever.
p.s. it was so fun to play last week! we really need to play more often. hope you guys had fun at the bachelor new years party! :)
Blond hair, red hair, blue eyes, brown eyes, what ever he/she looks like...I already love this future grandchild. And a lucky grandchild this will be...with a loving, gentle mom and a fun loving dad, this child will have a wonderful life.
Your dad and I believe that the spirits of your children were there to witness the sealing of you and Caleb. They are aware of you and they are patiently waiting for the time to be right.
I do understand the wondering about the part of your life that includes children. I understand the yearning, almost to the point of homesickness, of wanting to hold your child in your arms.
It will come, he or she will be born, and those answers will come. Of course, they come with a whole other set of questions.
I love you and I love the thought of you being a mom. Mostly I love the thought of God knowing best and he will help you know when the time is right.
Christmas was wonderful. Beating Caleb in Settlers was even more wonderful. I know he won't say it, but he is thinking, "My mom-in-law is the Queen."
I loved you first and I love you most.
Ahhh...I was hoping! Don't wait too long...I want to have some kids that are close in age. I'm sure your kids will still have lots of cousins to play with whatever the case though!
Oh i love you Lauren!! I know the dreams you are talking about...sweet bliss. But guess what, the real thing is even better! I can't wait to see what your children are going to look like, I know they will be just gorgeous.
HAHAHA I LOVED THE POST!! and no Caleb this is not my fault at all! I just asked for a blog update :) We love you guys and someday we'll all be mommies together.
Just think Lala your kids may be younger than mine, but you will have free babysitters anytime. And I still crave that baby so one night when you need sleep or to get away with Caleb I can take that beautiful baby or yours. That was a good post. Love ya.
Hahah - Lauren it's SO TRUE! But don't worry about it, just have babies when you are ready! No rush! You guys will know when it's right ;-)
Lauren! You are too cute! I know the feeling you are talking about well. :) We really miss you guys and this post reminded me of how dang funny you are and it made me miss you guys even more. Sad story. Keep us updated on life and get your butt down here!!
