The Grammys

I didn't grow up watching awards shows.

(Let's be honest, I didn't grow up watching anything except PBS.)

So once I was old enough to make my own TV decisions, I often binge on semi-inappropriate shows.

Oh you know, just watch them.

Anyway. I love me some awards shows. Sometimes.

Especially the performances.
That's what I watch for.

(AKA I could care less about crap like the Golden Globes). 

Anyway.

So the Grammys were on last night.

Here are the tweets that went out:

"Maybe if I don't say Taylor Swift's name she'll disappear and I can enjoy the rest of the Grammys."
I really dislike T Swift. And the fact that they ALWAYS show her ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

So.

"But really, Hunter Hayes is adorable."

He sang this real sweet song about how life won't always suck as a teenager. He didn't do too great on vocals, but he had a lot of heart and just is a real sweet kid.

"T Swift should stick to sitting down performances, minus the hair flips. Even her hair and makeup were tastefully done for once."

She sang one of her slower songs, and was just at the piano the whole time, and didn't have crazy hair or makeup or outfits, and no crazy background dancers or dance moves. But then she did these crazy hair flips (she's so effing dramatic) and then I was like.... Ugh. But for the most part, it was ok. 

"I can't even... @Pink is so amazing. Her vocals, her lyrics, her dance technique, all flawless. Proud to be a fan."

P!nk sang "Try" while doing some crazy air acrobatics, and then did part of the dance from her music video for that song. And then Nate Ruess came out and started sing his part of "Give Me a Reason" and they dueted and it was awesome. All of it was awesome. I think P!nk is beautiful and powerful and has a great voice and I just love her.

"Loved seeing the Vocal Point music video for their cover of Brave on the #grammys during the nomincations for best pop solo performance. #byu"

So they started this thing that when the were showing the nominations they showed cover music videos instead of the original artist's video. And obviously they showed Vocal Point's video and it was so awesome.

Also, I didn't see this live, but Macklemore and Ryan Lewis sang their song One Love, and then Queen Latifah came out and married 35 couples (homo- and heterosexual) and at first I thought it was dumb, and then it was actually kind of sweet (except for it was still weird because it was the Grammys) but mostly I liked it. Because good for them.

So there you go.
My thoughts on the 2014 Grammy awards.

Just a Random

Oh hey.

I haven't posted over here in a while.

Life is good.

We found out we're having a baby BOY.
We had an awesome time in California.
We had a good Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We visited Utah and got things for baby boy.

And I'm 29 weeks along which basically seems surreal to me. Baby is big enough that is when he stretches or jabs or pokes, I can feel it stretching me and it hurts. In a week or two he'll probably have grown big enough that I won't be feeling the rolling movements anymore, and will just feel more and more kicks and punches instead. The last few days he's like to hang out on the left side, right up under my ribs. So... That's been fun. But at least he hasn't been kicking my ribs yet.

I can't believe that in 11 or so short weeks I am going to be a  mother. I've wanted to be a mother my whole life and it's practically here. HO. LY. CRAP.

I have been feeling really blessed that I am going to be able to stay home with this little guy once he gets here. I know it might not always be that way, and that we would be doing a little better if I could work for a while longer, but we will make it work right now. I am so grateful that I have such an awesome husband who is such a hard worker and makes it possible for me to do this. He is seriously the best.

I am so excited and a little nervous and know I don't really know what I'm in for, especially the first few days/weeks/months but I know whatever happens, it will all be worth it. I can't wait to look my little guy in the eyes and snuggle and love him.

I still am paranoid all the time that something is going to go wrong. But I know whatever happens it will be ok. But I am still praying for a healthy little guy to make his appearance. I won't even be angry if he comes a little early. Whenever he comes I hope he's ok.



In other news, we are still teaching the CTR 5 class in Primary and it's hilarious. I love the things these kids come up with each week. Kyle just got a new calling (but hasn't been sustained yet) which will take him away from our Primary calling. I am kind of hoping that they will release me, since I don't think I can keep up with our crazy little boys in that class by myself. But I guess we'll see!


So yeah. That's what's happening right now. Lots of thoughts about our little guy. Still haven't decided 100% on a name, but we will probably just wait until he's born for that final decision.
I'll tell you a little secret though.
We'll probably name him Abraham. And call him Abe.
But. We'll see.


And hopefully I can remember to start blogging my randoms over here more.
Because sometimes I have funny thoughts.
