Feeling pretty good about myself

Today, I have made my very first roast vegetable dish. That's right, I am no longer a broke, inept college student in the dorms who makes cold cereal for dinner. The vegetables were actually really easy to assemble, the prep time was quick, and once you pop them in the oven I had plenty of time to finish up the potato salad. My biggest fear was dealing with the oven. I hate hot things. Like camp fires and ovens, and just open flames in general. In fact I was so nervous, I almost called Sam to guide me through via the phone. However, I did want it to be a surprise, so I toughened up and stuck that casserole dish in there. The potato salad received high praise the last time, so I made it again today. It's really yummy actually. I use turkey bacon instead of regular and light mayo.

The photo of my feet is of my new shoes. I never wear sandals, but I moved to California and my feet have been sweating pretty badly in the sneakers, so I decided to change my own trend. I actually didn't get them in pearl, I got them in gold. Matched my dark complexion on my feet better. My scar tissue tans much more than regular skin. Weird.

Also today it was uncharacteristically warm here in the Bay Area, almost 90 degrees! So we went to the Muir Woods national Park and Stinson Beach. The red woods walk was nice, but the beach was so much better. A lot of people were out and it wasn't very windy, which I appreciated a lot considering that the wind hasn't taken a break for over a month here already. We also did some pregnancy pictures, they look lovely. Will post once Sam uploads them.

As for the birthing class yesterday it was a ton of fun, can't wait to go back next week. And I felt so much better about the whole birthing experience. It's almost possible that I might go with a natural birth.....yeah right. :0 But to get back to the post's theme, I feel much better with the idea that I will be a mom soon. Not my mother, not my sister, not any of my friends, but me. I get to raise him, love him, take care of him, and be the best momma he can have. aaww. lmao
