Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Things Taken for Granted. While in Italy I discovered that I take many things for granted. 1 Showers large enough to shave your legs in. (No wonder Europeans are such hair balls! 2 Free tap water at restaurants. 3 Free sitting at restaurants. 5 Full iPhone functionality at my disposal. 6 Queen size (soft) beds. Two twin beds smashed together does not equal a king. 7 Not being on an airplane. 14 Washing machines and dryers. 17 Really good desserts. 20 Flat irons and blow dryers.

The Ottesens: September 2012

Thursday, September 13, 2012. Things I've Learned About/From Being Pregnant. 1 Stretch pants do indeed have a limit. They are NOT one size fits all. 2 Carpal tunnel makes you feel like a clumsy weirdo. Even more so if "clumsy weirdo" is your normal state. 3 Charlie Horses have no business creeping up on someone while they're asleep. 4 The flood gates really do open and all hell breaks loose on your emotions. Here come the waterworks. 7 The phrase, "anyday now" should be taken out of the English language.

Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Travel, Disappointment, New Opportunities, and Hair Plugs. Recently we made the trek to Austin to find our new home. For those of you who don't know, Evan got accepted to graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin. Anyway, so the plan was to go to Austin, look for houses, put an offer in and we'd be moving into our first (owned) house and be poor for the next 6 years. Everyone told me Austin was an amazing city and I'll love it. I just saw a city. A plain old e...It wa...

The Ottesens: Crafty Aspirations and Failure to Launch
http://jackieandevan.blogspot.com/2013/07/crafty-aspirations-and-failure-to-launch.html
Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Crafty Aspirations and Failure to Launch. I sit here and I think, I could probably make a super cute blanket out of this fabric, or paint a cool design on this canvas, or make an awesome collage with my new Cricut. Then I think, Finn! Don't eat that bug! Don't pull those cords! Please stop clawing on my skin to get to my phone on the other side of me. So to those mothers out there who craft, clean, shower and have kids.You are awesome! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Ottesens: Change of Plans
http://jackieandevan.blogspot.com/2013/07/change-of-plans.html
Friday, July 19, 2013. After a lot of thought, prayer and discussion, Evan and I have decided that our plan to go to Austin for graduate school was not right for our family at this time. We've decided that Evan is going to apply to be an officer in the Air Force and we're so excited for this new chapter in our lives! I'll try to answer all of the questions that seem to be the ones most people ask:. Evan does not have to take a physical fitness test, just a physical exam. If Evan is selected he'll have to...

Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Top 20 (on the bottom) Bottom 10 (on the top). I think it's time to play dodge ball. Wait, that's a Billy Madison quote. Scratch that. I think it's time to do another Top 20 Bottom 10! I love lists, and that's what I feel like doing today, making a list. So here it goes. 1 Being far away from family and friends. 2 Sleeping on my side to wake up every hour and find that my arms are numb and in pain. 3 Weeds (even if they are pretty pink flowers like this:). 3 I got to see Pioneer W...

The Ottesens: February 2013

Saturday, February 23, 2013. I can't believe my little Mister Finnster is four months old. I actually can't believe I have a baby at all, let alone a four month old. I went on a trip to California and as I was waiting for Finn's car seat to come along the luggage belt I thought how odd it was that I own a carseat. And a baby to put inside of it. Anyway, we have such a funny little guy. He's "talking" all the time now. He's a noisy boy! Here are a few things I want to remember about our little man:. When ...
