Happy 2013! I haven't posted since last year, woah! Well I hope the holidays went well for everyone, we had a great time! Todd, Asher and I went to Utah for a couple of weeks and had a blast! My parents and Todd's mom were the only ones that had ever seen Asher so I was so excited for everyone to meet him. He was a little charmer and everyone loved him (sorry, bragging momma).

| I believe I can flyyyyy..... |
I flew out by myself a week early because Todd had to take some tests still, and I was a little nervous to fly alone with Asher. I had never flown with him before (outside of my belly, much easier that way btw) and I wasn't sure if he was going to scream on the flights or what. Well turns out he was a champ and did so well! I had heard from a million (why no I never exaggerate) people to make sure they are nursing, or sucking on a bottle or pacifier during take off and landing so they don't get upset with the pressure changes. So on the first flight I decided just to nurse him to be safe, and I was fortunate (no I'm never sarcastic either) enough to sit by some single college dude and when I asked him if he cared if I nursed my baby shrugged his shoulders and made some awkward mumbled response. Really who's going to say "No way, don't feed your child!" Anyway it was nice and uncomfortable during that time, me feeding Asher and him pulling on my nursing cover, kicking the kid next to me, me apologizing lamely, and realizing 5 minutes later there was a breeze on my back and I was not completely covered from behind. You're welcome everyone behind me. You got a glimpse of my love handles. Oh well, harmless. Anyway, I digress (for some reason I love that statement. I digress again. Bonus for using it twice!) P.S. every time I fly and listen to the safety shpeel I think of this most excellent
video. I mean EVERY time I fly. I hope after you watch it you think of it too.
Our break was great. We spent much time with family,

And tried to have an ugly sweater party but about 5 people showed up. All at different times. So we had about 2 people there at a time. Nice and rockin'. Overall it was a great trip and each time it's a little harder to leave family, but we love living in Iowa right now. It's a great time for us and we will miss it when we move away.
This is a rambling post but at least it's a little update on us and our break, until next time! I've decided I shouldn't write blog posts unless I have an idea in mind. If I don't I just ramble and there are digressions everywhere you turn!
