I'm a foodie. So what?!

i have a confession to make---i love food. i love cooking food, i love arranging food, i even love shopping for food. and it's not just any food...but it has to be GOOD food. not weird foods. i don't consider myself very picky, but the food has to look good, smell good, feel good in my mouth and taste good. i know that sounds picky, but there are not very many individual foods that i will not eat. (fish, shrimp, game meat--eww--and mushrooms) Other than that, it's either the way something is prepared or presented that i'm particular about. maybe because i was raised by a caterer......hmm

although i LOVE food, and appreciate really good food, there are only very few things that are stop-me-in-my-tracks amazing. These have also been my favorite in pregnancy. One of these things are:

Amazing. I don't know what it is about this combination of a crisp apple with cheddar cheese, but it does wonders for me. Marie Calendars has said, "An apple without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze". So true, Marie. When I eat it, it reminds me of the birthday dinner scene in Chocolat where I have to close my eyes and be caught up in the moment. Another food that has this same effect on me is Chocolate Covered Strawberries. It gives me chills. So there. Ahh---it feels good to have that of my chest;)

p.s. i THINK i may have felt my baby move today. but i'm not sure if what i felt was really what it was....if that makes any sense.

Happy New Year!

We arrived home from our Christmas break to see that we had missed a horrible storm that put our power out, and ruined our internet connection. I'm not sorry we went to Arizona for Christmas.
So because we JUST barely got our internet back, this post is slightly late.

Arizona was awesome. It was warm and fabulous. We went to H&M, launched rockets on Christmas day, hiked Camelback mountain with the fam, relaxed, played the amazing Kinect, and went to CAliFoRniA for New Years. It was SO good to be with my family and spend time with them.

I always love when Jonny and I get to go on vacation because we get to spend ALL day together for usually a week at a time! It's so wonderful:)

Well, baby is still growing, and I'm getting bigger...nothing too exciting has happened yet. This month, we get to have our first ultrasound and find out what we're having! YAY! Also, I keep waiting to feel the baby move because that's supposed to be happening any day now:)

Someday...

It's things like this that make me SO excited to have a little whippersnapper of my own:)
