don't know how to be something you miss

with your hands in your pockets
I wore one almost every day during the winter in high school. I felt so cozy and so skinny in something that was clearly a few sizes too big. One summer when I was home working, after my boyfriend broke up with me, one of the sisters in my ward told me to go buy a new sweater and cuddle with it – sweaters are much more faithful. I took her advice to heart. :)
So the other day, while Jeffree was out and I was tidying the apartment, I felt the need to don an over-sized sweatshirt. As life would have it, an over-sized sweatshirt is hard to come by when you’re 8 months pregnant. I put on one of Jeffree’s sweaters, which couldn’t even be classified as huge on me. The sleeves were too long, though, which did bring somewhat of the feeling I was hoping for. No, I didn’t feel skinny. And it certainly wasn’t the coziest of sweaters. But it was slightly too big for me, so I basked in the experience.

i could wait patiently, but
We are excited to welcome our little angel into the home, but it’s still not quite real. I almost think it’s less real to me than when we first found out we were pregnant. I’ve been walking around with a little extra in the front for so long that I’m starting to wonder if it is a permanent attachment.

meet me in the pouring rain
Writing poetry was the main event, but here's the catch: Each of us chose 4 words that the other person had to use in their poem, and the poem would be 8 lines long. You can change the amount of words or lines, depending on your style.
It was pretty hilarious. I thought I chose pretty good words for Jeffree. He had to include giggle, crust, ice, and eyes. He wasn't so nice to me. How many poems have you ever stumbled across that use even one, let alone all four of these words: meridian, plump, orbit, and indentured. Indentured? Really.
I'll spare you from having to read the poems. Just rest assured that I did a pretty good job with what I was given to work with.
Have a beautiful weekend.
