The Many Faces of Me

I ran 3 miles tonight (thanks Ash and Suz!) without walking and I was thinking about how much I've changed--both for better and worse in the last 3 years. I've gone from 118lbs to 209lbs and then back down to 148lbs and counting.

So I wanted to show you some pix of me both when I was super hot and not so hot. It's motivating for me and it's nice to show off how skinny I used to be. Maybe someday I'll get back there.....I hope this doesn't seem full of myself. I just wanted to show some before and afters. Even though I'm not after yet.

Last week
2 months after Tyler was born
June 2007
April 2008 (yes, those are size 2 jeans)
February 2007 at work
June 2008, the day I got sealed in the temple (and pregnant)
October 2008 (5 months pregnant)
The day after Tyler was born--still had hypertension apparently--DON'T JUDGE! I GAINED 20 LBS OF WATER WEIGHT IN 3 DAYS AND HAD TO BE EMERGENCY INDUCED!
August 2008 - 2 months pregnant

You are beautiful in each and every one of these photos. no one would want to see the many faces of me. It would be very, very scary and Halloween isn't quite here yet. You are BEAUTIFUL!

You look great and don't worry you will get to where you want to be! You are gorgeous. You are not full of yourself. It's good to do things to motivate yourself and to be able to take a compliment when someone tells you that you look great! It's crazy how much you look like your sister in that last picture. Keep up the awesome work.

I love the "appearantly I still have hypertension"! And I agree with both Jaime and Analisa.... you look great. And yes, no one would want to see a many faces of me either- actually they may not even realize it is me.... funny!

Jenn, you are so beautiful. I am glad that you are finally feeling it again though. You have been working hard and you deserve it. Just don't overdo yourself ;)

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Escrow

Well we found the perfect house for us on Thursday! We put the offer on today and they accepted! We expect to close the third week of March! I knew it was the right one as soon as I walked in the door. The picture below shows half the house, you can't see the whole thing on Google Earth because of the trees. It's been updated really well, but it has a few things we can still do to get more value out of it when we sell it in a few years. It's totally cute on the inside, just under 2000 square feet and has a great yard and deck. It came with some nice perks too, so we're really excited. I'll have a nice big housewarming party so you can all see it in April once we're settled in! Yay! Ok so the sad part is, we won't be in the Dash Point Ward anymore. :( We'll be in the Federal Way ward so we're still in the stake at least. It's really sad because I totally love our ward, it's awesome and I love my calling with the Young Women but at least I w...
