more ramblings

you probably noticed that our blog got a little makeover.  it's partially because i am- 1// bored a lot of the time and- 2// because i am never satisfied with the look. but! i think this may be the winner. what do you guys think?

so i know that the whole process of building and expanding your blog takes time and effort. but i feel like i'm in the struggling phase. i need your help. i have done many/multiple ways of trying to reach out and really put my blog out there.  but i'm just not receiving anything in return.

yeah, yeah. be patient sarah.
got it!
i'm going to keep being patient.. but for those of you awesome followers, i think i need your help :)

dave and i are both pregnant.  in case you all weren't aware.  we love our bellies. {see photo below}

we switched over to sprint.. which has been quite the process.  at&t hasn't wanted to port over our current phone numbers to sprint.  {it's much more complicated, but that's what i got out of it} however, my phone number was the only one that worked. so i am no longer phone-less. and look! hubs and i are now twinners!! {see photo below}

husband broke his toe at soccer on thursday night.  {everyone thought he was exaggerating} but once we got home and the shoe came off,  it was proven.  poor dave's toe.  it's very swollen and completely black and blue. but what can you really do about a broken toe, right? we've kept lots of medicine in him and iced that thing a ton. i hate when dave is sick or hurt.

we went and saw 'oz the great and powerful' last night. it was really good. actually it was great.  just felt super long.  and baby kicked me the whole time.  don't worry baby, you can watch movies from the outside soon{ish}
