one little reason

one little reason why i love him...

if you read my blog

If you take the time to read my blog, you might remember that I've teased a couple of  times regarding my baby blog.  The baby blog has been alive for a good healthy five months now, and I suppose it is time to let people know about it.  I started the baby blog before we conceived our little guy.  I wanted to have record of everything we'd been through up to that point.  Not too long after starting the blog, we were blessed to become pregnant.  The beginning of the baby blog tells our story, and the latter part of the blog tracks the pregnancy.  I'm sure it isn't the most captivating of blogs, but it is the happiest part of our lives so far!  Oh, and there are pictures :)  So here it is...

baby's first blog

LOST and loving it

Who would have thought... what started as a simple plane crash on a secret island, turned into a tv series addiction for the ages!  Last summer, our dear friend Jorden got Greg and I watching the tv series LOST.  It has been an up and down relationship, us and LOST.  At first, we were majorly addicted.  Then, we had to stop watching it because Greg would be up all night and not rested for work the next day.  We took a little hiatus and started watching again... and now, 7 months later, we have finally finished the entire series.  All six seasons.  I love LOST.

Its kind of like Harry Potter, the Twilight series, The Hunger Games, and Bieber... I'm afraid to admit my love for these things because it will appear I have just hopped on the bandwagon, along for the ride with the rest of the planet... but I will admit my love for LOST with pride, and even admit that I think you should watch it too.

LOST has some pretty intense twists and turns, sometimes driving me to disbelief, but mostly urging me to stick in the next dvd.  Without giving anything away, I actually did enjoy how the series ended.  I sort of expected a "What the crap!?" ending, but it had some closure.  Even though the millions of loose ends are left untied and questions unanswered, I feel as though I can sleep peacefully knowing how it ended.

So, this last little bit is strictly for my own entertainment... if you haven't watched the show, please disregard!

...and the winner of the LOST award goes to...

best hero... its gotta be Jack... from beginning to end, even though he went crazy for a little bit
best villian... ben lioness... so manipulative... almost until the end
my favorite girl... Claire... she. is. a. doll.
best couple ever... James (Sawyer) and Juliet.  Everytime they were together I caught myself ooohing and ahhing.
my first choice of best friend... Hurley!  Everybody loves Hugo!

Now that I've had a little time to let LOST settle in my system, its time to find a new series!!  Let me know if you have any amazing recommendations!

Dear bloggy,

It has been too long since we've spent time together. Let me just say, its not you, its me. Here you are with your loveliness, just waiting for me to spend time with you. I'm glad you aren't the jealous type. You never judge what I have to say. Bloggy, we will be back together soon... And you will be patiently waiting.

Yours,
Me

even if it kills me

I'm finishing my 30 day blog challenge right now!!  It has only taken me two months, or twice as long, to finish this blog challenge... but I'm gonna do it!

day 28:  my favorite movie

I really can't say I have just one favorite.  If I was picking one to watch right now, it would have to be... The Notebook!!  Such a classic, heartfelt story.  I SOB every single time I watch it.  It is so touching and romantic and lovely.  PLUS, a bonus is, Greg likes it too!  He doesn't love chick flicks, but he actually will sit down and watch this one with me!

day 29:  something I could never get tired of doing

DANCING. 

I really absolutely love to dance.  I danced growing up and all through school, I begun to find my style in 11th grade with my favorite coach EVER.  She really changed how I look at dance as an expression and escape.  After high school, I continued to teach and learned to appreciate dance as I was on a folk dance team for 2 years.  I taught adult lyrical jazz and really came in to my own with choreography and passion again.  I have been craving a dance class for so long and never walk away without a huge smile spread across my face. 

day 30:  a photograph of myself today and three good things that have happened in the past.

(me today)

 

three good things that have happened in my past huh?  How about three amazing, fantastical, life changing things??

First... becoming part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Second... marrying Mr. Gregory Richard Bean
Third... carrying our precious little 17.5 week old baby boy!


So... this is it.  The 30 day blog challenge is officially over.  It may seem like I have been slacking on my blog lately, I have not.  I am just using my blogging energy on a new blog... a blog following the development of our little guy.  Watch for the unveiling!
