oober update

a few topics in this post.

First, today was an exciting day at the Powell house, we got our home security system installed! eeks. only such a paranoid nerd as I could find such enjoyment in this, but little did I know my husband finds it pleasing, too. Our security is the latest and greatest, blah blah blah, and Jason has already had fun playing with it. Its synced to apps on our phones, so we can control all of it from anywhere. He decided randomly to turn ON the system, little did he know I had it off for a reason, I was in and out bringing in groceries, so when I was standing in the kitchen and all of a sudden it turns on, it was quite freaky. It will take some getting used to, but I love it already. I already feel 10 times safer in my home alone, and I am not worried about all the little noises anymore. :D

I am officially a stay at home wife. :) The transition started in December and I have officially turned all my clients over to another trainer. I have loved it for the most part, I haven't been as productive at home as I would have liked, but it was a transition resting period for me. With the holidays and hoopla over, I am getting a routine down that takes care of everything that I need to do on a daily basis.

Because I have been home, I have blogged more, but a sad pathetic excitement of mine was the OWN channel! ahaha, don't judge. Its the Oprah Winfrey Network, in case you didn't know. I have been a watched of Oprah on and off since I was a teenager, but when I saw all the previews for the shows that would be on her channel I knew I would be hooked. I am! my fav shows so far are the behind the scenes oprah show, Ask Oprahs all starts, Your Own Show(it hasnt shown yet, but I can just tell), In The Bedroom, Miracle Detectives, and Searching For. I think they are unique fresh shows that I will most certainly become addicted to. The best part about the OWN channel is NO INFOMMERCIALS! The shows are on 24/7 so nights when you are up with baby or cant sleep, there will be a good show on for sure!

This weekend is sure to be a good time. Its my family baby shower, with my entire family! We did my bridal shower the same way, and it was a lot of people in one house, but it worked, so this will be fine. Then the next day is my little sisters mission farewell. This is the first missionary in our family, so I have no idea what to expect or how I am gonna feel, but I am pretty excited for her. Our family is close, but we are big kids and can/have handled being away from each other for long periods of time so I am sure we will all handle it fine.

This is the last baby shower, that I know of, so I can finally get started on completing the nursery. Jason didn't want to until the showers were done, so thats another reason I had my showers so early. :)

Lets see, oh, I am doing maternity pictures at the end of this month, but I may move it to the beginning of next month depending on how big I am, or not. I have yet to LOVE any pictures taken of me, candid or professional, so I am experimenting with different photographers. We will see how I like this one. Oh and I am excited for my outfit for it, you will just have to wait and see. :)

Thats about everything in updates! Hope everyone had a lovely holiday season.

Can I just say I am soooo excited for Valentines day?
