A Blur of Happiness!

Update- When I first made this blog I thought it would be fun to write as though we were secret agents.. but I quickly grew out of that. haha. Enjoy the one and only post where I was feeling creative. ;)


Well. A moment to breathe. School started over three weeks ago and it's been a little crazy. Brando18 and jcloskey2 have been EXTREMELY busy with various perilous missions requiring excessive amounts of mental and physical energy (especially in jcloskey2's case). Through it all, they've held on close and will not be pulled apart by the momentum of this blur of life! School is going splendidly. Both agents are enjoying their classes and are quite passionate about their majors.

Brando18 has switched from information systems to computer engineering (or computer science) and is not loving chemistry but quite likes his major classes. Jcloskey2 is loving her new technique teacher, Jiamin, who kicks her trash every class. I know of no better way for an agent to stay in shape! She is loving the hours she is in the studio every day, rehearsing for the DE concert in November.

Work is work (who knew agents had to work while really working for the government under cover? Seems unfair) but they hold onto the hope that they will not be in retail forever. Jcloskey2 sadly had to quit Build a Bear to fit in time for dancEnsemble rehearsals but is giving her all to the catalog desk at JCPenney. Brando18 is making quite the impression at Macy's, selling in the fine jewelry department. Work it!

In their spare time together Brando18 and Jcloskey2 enjoy many a game of uno, heavenly home made chocolate chip cookies (THANK YOU marilyn for the recipe), playing with their wonderful family, reading novels, and studying Preach My Gospel (excellent aid for secret agents btw). Time for posting is scarce so bear with them. They send their love to their wonderful family and friends!!!

Help

Hey guys. This is a very personal post but... I need help. Being a new mom has been, well, lonely. Really lonely. Yes, I have my precious baby boy to play with all day but it's not like he can talk to me, really listen to me, or play with me. It's hard when it's so one sided alllll day. The most exciting things in my life (other than the cute things Ander is constantly doing and the couple hours of rehearsal I have each week) are finally finding something good to watch on Netflix, finally seeing Brandon's car come in the driveway, or getting an Amazon package in the mail. It's always been easy for me to make friends and form connections with people. I've always had a best friend. It's weird to not have one. Yes, I have close friends and I love them dearly. But I don't have that one person that I can call for anything, that person who lives down the road who I can hang out with all the time while Brandon is at work, or on the weekends to go have...

Flashback: Prague

AH! I just realized I failed to document my adventure in Prague, Czech Republic in July. I was chosen, with a small group of dancers from BYU, to travel to Prague to perform in an international storytelling conference. After 14 hours on an airplane and another hour bus ride to Prague, we discovered our luggage was missing. After filling out some paperwork we decided to make the best of it and go exploring. We walked the cobblestone streets and browsed the quaint shops all along the way. We got hungry and stopped to eat at an authentic czech restaurant where we all ordered something we were told was delicious. To the contrary, we all felt mildly sick to our stomachs afterward and vowed never to eat that sticky orange sauce again. I tried to use my credit card to buy the meal and discovered it was frozen. Yes, I did call the bank before I left to tell them I would be out of the country but somehow, the message hadn't gotten through. So in addition to being gross from traveling...

A YEAR AND A HALF!

Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down there time. You are gettin' a little quick for my liking. Ander Man has gotten big way too fast. He is 18 months old! That's like... a year and a half! =P  I do have to say that he is sooo much fun at this age, even though we've seen glimpses of his future "terrible two" year old self (oh please let him stay an angel!). He is so independent and so curious about everything. He sure is a happy little fella. He definitely knows how to get his way with that cute smile of his. I mean, who could say no to that? He is so so sweet and is so good to snuggle with mom and dad. He still doesn't say a whole lot. He mostly just grunts and points. I'm pretty sure I gave birth to a caveman. ;) Here's a list of some things he says (and a lot of them are his own interpretations of the word): Mom, Dad Nana, Pop Pop Papa Dog, Puppy Bottle Blankie Hi No,Yes (but mostly "no") He can make quite a few animal sounds.
