happy BIRTHday to miss ruth lova woodruff!
little miss ruthie was born in the wee hours of leap day today and we're so happy she's here!
we'll get to meet her a week from friday!
little ruthie is so chunky and cute.
and two hips and a hooray for mama blair with having no epidural.
yowza, way to go sista!
this was the picture i woke up to this morning.
twin noses with annalee and phoebe!
blair and logan were so sweet to let me video chat with that cute little baby only hours after she was born!
she was just precious.
and then later in the afternoon we video chatted again with the new big sisters, annalee and phoebe, being there.
annalee loved holding little ruthie and phoebe was just so excited to show me her!
phoebe's enthusiasm got the best of her and she started patting on lil ruthie harder than she knew,
logan quickly stepped in and began with the whole "soft, soft, phoebe."
ruthie started crying as annalee was holding her, and annalee firmly declared "i got it, she likes me" and she pushes the pacifier into ruthie's mouth.
sucking noises quickly followed and no more crying was heard.
oh how i wish i were there!

is it just me, or does the vitamix guy at costco always have you hooked for, like, 10 minutes.
man that guy can sell a product well.
makes me feel like i NEED it!!!
a whole pineapple mixed with green pepper,
k i'm a believer.
he could put a the rubber sole of a shoe in there and i'd believe it tasted good.
yeah, i think i need one...

sewing is just so much fun.
i really am enjoying it.
i love that i'm learning proper techniques on how to do things and not just sewing blindly.
i'm hand hemming my skirt as we speak!
today i just sat at home fixing stuff in my to-fix pile!
putting darts in some shirts, taking in some pants legs on my jeans, lengthening and widening casey's pants.
i'm just so happy i'm confident in sewing now.
the next step is just buying the fancy dancy sewing machine, if only...
***
scott, megan, tristan, and meli are officially gone.
we helped them pack up the moving truck on tuesday (man, lots of hands make moving a breeze!!!)
and then they drove to warm, heavenly, family-inhabited arizona.
oh how i envy them.
i'm happy for them though, that's where they'll be happiest.
***
with scott and megan moving to AZ, that means they don't need their electric blanket.
guess what the means?!?!?!?!?!
we inherited the electric blanket.
i nearly cried in joy last night as i got into my nice pre-warmed bed.
best invention ever.
i will poprobably use that blanket for the next 7 years of my life all year long.
i promise, people, it's just the best thing ever.

had the most tender mercy on monday.
i stranger facebooked casey on monday and essentailly said,
"hi, i'm a 1st year dental student at University of Nebraska in Lincoln right now. i'm a wydent student too. i know your name from high school football. i'm LDS too. what can i help you with? let's be friends"
i started tearing up as casey read this to me,
what a blessing!
we've been messaging him back and forth for a few days asking all the questions are little hearts desired!
what a kind person.
our worries have been slightly subdued and now we have a path to start on for looking into housing/the ward in Lincoln.
we could not be happier!
sidenote- he said there's currently only SIX other LDS dental school students right now there!
ah, we couldn't be more excited!
(sorry for all the exclamations in this post, i just don't really know how to end sentences when, if you were here in person, i'd be jumping/screaming/grinning like a kinder-gardener to you!!!
there's just so many happy things!!!!)

in other news that's not as much good new,
the downfall of bangs:
my forehead is now a perfect petri dish for zits.
i swear without a doubt, there's always a colony of those buggers somewhere along my forehead.
i'll be the first to admit, i've been greatly blessed in my for not having acne problems in my years.
i wash my face with warm water every night,
that's it.
it's usually when i do use cleansers/soaps on my face that something happens.
but other that,
i completely adore my bangs.
it's been a very fun change that i may be keeping for awhile!

i think that about sums up my ramblings on here folks.
peace out.
