23 Weeks...

I know that come 15 weeks from now, I am going to be pleading for those little kicks to be happening outside of my tummy, but the joy it brings to us now is just indescribable! This was the first week that your little sucker punches are noticeable to people OTHER than me... BJ has felt you kick almost every day now! Last night was just the funniest thing to me, though, as we were watching a show you started to kick me but by the time I had BJ come to feel, your BOTTOM was sticking out towards my stomach SO HARD! You must do flips all day long...

In other news, we finally started to register last weekend now that we have 2 showers in the next month! It was kind of hard because I obviously have NO CLUE what you will need... so, many thanks to my cousin, Jana, for walking me through my "must haves"...

We also went to San Antonio for Easter this weekend (pics to come in another post for that) and your great aunt and uncles just LOVE you... everyone is so excited to meet you... in fact, they put together a small little blessing time for us while we were there and you received your first gifts!! Thank you all! We left town with your Bassinet, as well... I am so excited about it! It is the same bassinet your Grandma Dot used as a baby (so no, it is not new!) but it is oh so charming and such a romantic thought to me that you will share the same baby bed as your Grandma!!

Most noticeable change this week... Everyone likes to touch my tummy.
Most exciting announcement this week.... MINDY is preggo!! Here is to your future best friend, baby!

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

THE OVER-SHARER SHARES AGAIN   For the very small handful of people who have asked, I’m answering to the masses (err, bigger handful). On February 1, I decided to take a social media fast. Our church was challenging us to a 21-day fast and I chose to fast not from food but from something else I had been looking to for satisfaction, delight or distraction. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and with the exception of popping on to facebook to check in with my business partners, I have found great freedom stepping away from social media (right now). Currently, I don’t have a plan to return, but I also know that I should never say never…. …Watch me pop right back in and eat crow in mere moments if I was to say I would be off of it forever. Honestly, social media has been a beautiful thing for me personally, and professionally, for well over a decade. It has allowed me to authentically and organically share my passions, ask my questions, get and give referrals, build and reconn...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...
