SniperBear – Don’t Get Sniped
There have been days so far when this pregnancy has made me feel euphoric. Just floating along with bundle of love and magic growing inside of me.
Then there’s day like today. When I can’t stop feeling nauseous, I can’t wake up, I can’t get motivated to even wear clothes. Honestly…it feels so good to just lay free of anything that I’ve been laying naked in bed the majority of the afternoon.
Told ya….TMI. Cheers 1st trimester. You kinda suck.
This morning I woke up and needed some sunshine. Somehow SB and I both had an empty calendar this weekend, so we decided to float the flint. It’s a 4 hour trip via canoe, and water was just perfect today. We played on the rocks, coasted through the very very small rapids, and took in the peace and quiet and beauty. After a VERY long week I really needed to get out of our house. We may need to start a whole new category on this blog called “sunscreen fail”. My handsome husband is awfully red tonight. As for me, I’m brown, exhausted, and going to sleep like a baby in a few short hours….
Some times you just gotta get away for lunch. You don’t really want anyone to join you, you just want to sit and not think about the hustle and bustle of work. Today is one of those days.
This has been an exceptionally long week. Things are winding down at school for Jess and at work for me, things are ramping up. I have a new role/position and it’s really putting a strain on things mentally. Basically I’ve been tasked with expediting the sales process. In addition to that I have to do my normal job of managing the team engineers and providing support to clients and other managers. I’m already late one one deadline in my new job, and I don’t like to be late. So it’s just stressful, but it’ll get better.
Other than that things are ok. With summer approaching quickly we are starting to plan vacations and get things ready for the baby. I know we have ‘lots of time’ but that time will fly by and I want to make sure we’ve prepared as much as we can. So it’s just a never ending to-do list that seems to keep getting longer rather than shorter. It’ll all get done, but that light at the end of the tunnel is pretty dim for now.
I think writing helps. I’m glad I can blog from my phone or virtually anywhere now. Updates should be coming more frequently.
That’s all I had for now. Just putting some thoughts out there to get them outta my head. TGIF y’all!

In an effort to really get better at this, I am toying around with several ways to write a post. At this very moment I am laying in bed with my beautiful wife beside me and my space heater…I mean cat on my legs. You can take a look at the photo for proof!
Any way, that’s all I had for tonight. I’ll keep monkeying around with this thing. Either way, look for more frequent posts.

Shows up as a little bundle of joy 9 months later!
In typical Turner fashion we decided to go all out and do our honeymoon, Vegas style! But like all things we plan, it didn’t go completely as planned.
Testing a new way to post things, in an effort to make my admin experience a bit easier. AKA, I’m a n00b. That’s all. Move along now.

The Turners!
It’s been three weeks and we are still going strong! Good sign, right?? What an amazing few weeks it’s been. We have an awesome concert and unforgettable honeymoon to blog about soon, but nothing can overshadow the big day. I knew just as much as I was forcing time to fly by, the wedding day and events would go by just as fast. I remember heading to the ceremony wishing I could press a pause button for a day or so. Everything was so perfectly beautiful. Thunderstorms moved the ceremony inside, but considering our number of guests I think it turned out more intimate and special anyway. All of our favorite people showed up to wish us well. A great friend of mine told me recently that “as soon as you say ‘I do’ everything will just calm down and make sense”. She was so right. I am generally anxiety driven, and this honeymoon phase has me feeling calmer and more peaceful than ever. I see a path for our family, and for once I don’t feel like it’s a path I ‘should’ be on, but a path I want to be on. I will bookmark this post so 5 years from now I can remember how blissful we were….in the midst of bitching about his socks in the floor. Although, as my husband confirms, we are the exception….so maybe I’ll just come back to check the pics. 😉
Speaking of pics. They are shit. The woman who runs Le Bam got her husband to be the “photographer”. I get this will save her money, and I saw what he was shooting with so I figured “well…that camera will work for itself”. Wrong. SB emailed her about our dissatisfaction, and she claims they were “not ready to be released and needed more editing”. Ya think? Either way, there are a few keepers and enough to get a couple framed. Other than the pics and the DJ playing ALL hip hop songs, this wedding was my favorite so far! Now it’s time to just calm down, push through these last three weeks of school, and spend the summer with this amazing little family of mine that I am just sickeningly in love with. <3
