Did you know that when you take a test in the BYU-Idaho Testing Center and you go out in the hall to check your score on that little screen and you get 100%, next to your I-number it says 'Perfect Score!'?
I do. ;)

Disclaimer: I am NOT pregnant.
Lately I have been having dreams where I am pregnant. In the most recent one, I was having quintuplets. Please pray for me that this is not a sign of what is to come. Kidding. :) After waking up and realizing it's just a nightmare dream I can't help but think about the future. With motherhood on the horizon (however distant) I often find myself wondering what kind of mother I will be. Will I be able to teach my children what's important in life? Will they be rebellious, will they fight with each other, will they be soccer players, will they make good decisions, will they like me when they grow up? With all the uncertainty of what's to come I find myself hoping that they inherit some of their father's traits. Like being funny, charming, good at everything under the sun, determined, smart, happy, witty, confident...I could go on and on. If I could just have one small peek into what it will be like to have kids maybe it would be easier to know when is the right time. Or maybe it would make me never want to have them! But I doubt it. I mean seriously. Just look at them.

Rough day.
Today consisted of:
school
homework
laundry (sort of.)
napping
dishes
grocery shopping
and really sore muscles
I'm tired and grumpy and still have to cook dinner. I got cranky with my husband and told him to give me some alone time. I just finished all my homework for the night and thought I would reward myself with a little blog time. And as I sit here I can hear Travis banging around the dryer trying to fix a belt? or something. And I'm so grateful that I have him. He's mine forever and I don't have to fix that awful noise that the dryer is making which is really good because let's be honest, I wouldn't have the slightest idea how. He's here and I don't have to do it all alone. Except for the grocery shopping. Sounds like a good trade to me. :)

Benny.
Once upon a time there was a boy. A brother in fact.
He was a farmer at heart. And loved horses.
He had a little brother who he liked to compete with.
Waterskiing was something he was good at. If you call crashing good. ;)
The boy liked to show off. Especially his legs.
See what I mean?
Sometimes he was a little crazy.
And he definitely loved to ski.
He served the Lord in Portugal for two years.
Then one day he met a girl.
They fell in love. And then one day this happened.
And then a few years later, this happened.
Over the years the boy grew and turned into a man. And then last week he turned into a father.

It's about time.
Well since I haven't blogged in, oh almost two months, I thought I would get back on top of things. This summer has been a weird one. Trav was in school until the middle of July and I was working until the beginning of August. After that we headed up to Swan Valley and stayed most of the time with family while Trav worked with Joes on the farm. He loved every minute of it and I seriously loved getting to see Lulu every day. That kid could soften even the hardest of hearts I swear. So it feels like summer just started and now we are going back to school tomorrow! I have always been a summer girl and love everything that entails but this year I just did not get my fill of warm weather and tan lines and melty ice cream cones. Good thing we have family in arizona we can visit in a few months when the weather really starts chilling our bones.
In spite of being the summer lover that I am, I have always loved back to school time. It's seriously one of the best times of the year and I love the new clothes and sharp pencils that go along with it. It's just a really refreshing time of year and I always think of the new year starting in september and not january. Since we have not really been at our apartment much all summer I haven't been cooking. Like literally not cooking at all. I have been gathering recipes that I want to try and some of the old standbys that we love and I wrote up a dinner plan for the next month. I'm going to see if we can stick to this one and if it works out I want to do one every month. I obviously can't plan exactly what we will eat every night but I just put together five meals a week that we can cook whichever night we want. We have been eating out way too much lately and I have really wanted to kick that habit since it's not helping my thighs much.
Travis got a new job that he will be working part time this semester and we are both really excited about it! I'm excited because it means I get to be in school and he's excited because it's an engineering job and he is going to learn so much! Oh and the pay isn't bad either. :)
Oh and I decided to continue with my family picture/sibling posts because I only got to Ben. I thought this might be a good time since they have a new (tiny and adorable) addition to their family. More on that later.
Does anyone even read this? Ha.
