Been Awhile

Well,I believe journaling may just be a consistent problem for me! I have the time, but I never take the time to sit down and gather my thoughts. Lately I've been realizing that I really need to make it a bigger priority. I watch Bryan's grandparents work on their histories and I see how much work and time it takes them. They also can't remember everything in as much detail as they would like to. So, here I am with another goal to improve my journaling habits.

The last few months Bryan and I have begun talking about having a baby. It surprises me that we are at this point. I still have a hard time believing that we are old enough to even consider having a child! Bryan always says "I can't believe they allow us to have kids". I don't know who "they" is, but it always makes me laugh. When we first began talking about the idea of having a baby, Bryan couldn't take it seriously. He would just make a lot of jokes. It was cute and entertaining to see him get nervous. I felt silly even bringing it up because like I mentioned earlier - how can we be old enough to be contemplating the idea of having a baby?! But here we are, realizing we want a baby. We are going to the temple to start really praying about it this week. We are excited and nervous.

We've been talking about names and it has been really great. The other night we stayed up later than we should have talking about names. We really need to come up with more boy options, but I am just too picky!

So far we have come up with:
Boys
Harrison O'dell Frandsen
Ezra Taysom Frandsen

Girls
Peyton Elaine Frandsen
Colbie Celeste Frandsen
Adeline Sawyer Frandsen

I am hoping for 4 kids, and Bry is wanting 5. His reasons for wanting 5 are a bit silly though. He always says "I need a basketball team". So, we shall see! 

I loveeee the name Harrison and the minute Bryan heard it, he loved it too. Mostly because of his hero Harrison Ford. 

He also likes Ezra. Mostly because of Ezra Taft Benson. I just think it's an adorable name. 

I have been obsessed with the name Peyton for as long as I can remember. Bryan isn't quite sold on it. He thinks it's a boys name, because of Payton Manning. He also thinks I love the name because of Peyton from One Tree Hill. I'm not going to lie, I have always loved her. That is not the reason for me wanting to sue that name though. 

During my Freshman year of college, I worked for Jason's Deli. I had this manager named Dan. One day dan said "you need to name one of your girls Colbie, for your last name". Ever since then, I haven't been able to forget about that name. Bryan really likes it as well. I've kept that one secret from my family, because I am hoping it will surprise them and make them happy. I know it won't be spelled the same way as my maiden name, but it still has the meaning to me. 

Adeline is our newest name. We watched "Age of Adeline" a couple of weeks ago. I suggested that name to Bry, and he really loves it. I also adore the name Sawyer f or a girl, but Bryan can't stand it. I am hoping that we can use it for a middle name. Maybe I can change Bryan's mind though...

It will be fun to see what names we use, and what other names we come up with. I really want a little Harrison and a little Peyton though :)
