You Really Do Need to Watch Out For Your Boobs

 . . . especially when getting Logan out of the bath.
Oh and here's an AWKWARD story. Last week there was a get together and the girls around the table were talking about corsets. This led to one of the girls telling a story from when her and her husband were engaged. He asked her, "Does it bother you that your boobs are small?" She said she had no idea her boobs were small. After replying that it didn't bother her, she asked her husband, "Wait, does it bother you?" His response, "No, I just can't wait to touch them."
Now you know I'm all for stories, especially women stories, but that was a bit over the top. So of course, I thought I'd share.

Soarin in the South

So it has officially been too long since my last post. I can't tell you how many posts I've drafted in my head while driving, running, or trying to fall asleep at night. Yet, somehow they never seem to make it to the keyboard. For which I do apologize. I love you all and miss you all, and make a goal to be a more contributing member of Wofyb Academy.

Our lives are still pretty much the same as they were 6 months ago. We're still living in my parent's basement, which while painful to my pride, has really turned out to be not too bad. I'm still working at the law firm, and still scouring the incredibly sucky job market for a therapy job. Brian is finishing up his degree in architecture. 7 More weeks until GRADUATION, which can't come soon enough. Architecture school sucks, especially for wives. But only 7 more weeks!

We have started looking for a home, which is really exciting and scary. The housing market in Birmingham is super expensive, and neither one of us will be making the big bucks anytime soon, so we're kind of leaning towards buying a loft downtown close to wherever Brian's job will be. So that's where we're at and where we're headed.

As for the past 6 or so months, here's the highlight reel:

-It snowed THREE times here, which is THREE times more than normal.
-We missed a day of work and got to sled in the streets covered in ice.
-The Auburn Tigers won the National Championship, WAR EAGLE! We love our Tigers.
-I have the greatest husband in the world and I love him more than ever.
-My little bro Dear Jane'd the gf none of us like.
-We're still serving in the nursery, and Brian is so popular the kids fight to sit and play with him. In fact, my 5 year-old niece told me on Sunday that Brian is so fun it makes her not want to play with me. Exact quote. I told her I felt the same way about her. Ha! Take that little kid!
-We've been able to help lots of friends with home improvement projects, which we love! So far we've done lots of painting, wallpaper removal, installed some big kitchen appliances, and my favorite - installed a hardwood floor! It was really fun and rewarding, and I'm constantly impressed by how smart and handy Brian is with these kinds of projects.
-My parents bought a treadmill for Christmas, which I have ended up using 10x more than anyone else in the house. I LOVE it and have enjoyed the ease of an exercise routine so close to home.
-We took a 4 day trip to Chicago for our 1 year anniversary. It was freezing cold (right before Christmas) but lots of fun.
-Brian and I have tons of dance parties in our living and bedroom and have added to the list of people-dances (remember the Doug and Justin dance!? I taught him those already). In fact we have a rule that anytime a Black Eyed Peas song comes on the radio, we have to drop everything and have a dance party.
-I'm playing with the idea of growing my hair long again. Since Brian is my hair stylist and barber, it's easy enough to try things out as it is getting to this awkward length, but we'll see how long I last.
-Brian and I were both able to find good deals on some nice mountain bikes and have loved riding together. When the weather is nice we take them down to the nearest state park and ride the trails. I've only fallen (really I tipped over) once!
-We also went to an Auburn hockey game a while ago and I took tons of pictures of the ZAMBONI, much to the wonder of the people around us. They didn't get my excitement. Lame.

That's all I can think of. I wanted to post a picture, but all our recent pictures are on Brian's computer. I'll try to get to that soon. I hope all my fellow WOFYBers are doing well. Man Thighs, what's the status with Mr. First Kiss? We keep checking in hoping for an update! Love you All!

Hugs and Rainbows!
