Let's see how this thing works...

Okay so this is a big deal for me cause I think I have started a few of these in the past only to either completely neglect it, or seriously forget my username/password to even gain access to my own blog. But after reading several of my friend's, I suddenly feel left out. :( So here it goes....

I'm sure it will be fairly boring to most, but it also seems like a good way to process things in my own life and update those who we don't get to see very often (again, those very few who may decide to actually read this!).

As you can see in my "about me" section, my husband Jason and I are currently expecting our first child - baby Lincoln James McMahan! I am currently 23 weeks along and finally started feeling great a couple of months ago, and then BAM! My kidney stones have returned to haunt me. For those for you that have had them, you understand my agony and sheer fearfulness when I started having my first attack since the past two years, a few weeks ago. I quickly got whatever pain medication I am allowed to take prescribed, and have had it on hand or not far from them ever since. I had a small attack last night, but thankfully they have not decided to pass (worst pain of my life to date).

My husband and I just returned from an amazing Vegas vacation with his family...it was quite an awesome experience! We got a free upgrade on our room which was amazing and it was fun to just lay out and spend money :) By the end of the trip though, we must have walked 30 miles total! The first morning there, I got up to do my daily exercise in the morning, only to realize by the end of the day that a day in Vegas is a full day of exercising and that i no longer needed to get up and workout while in Vegas...cause i would be all freaking day! So naturally, for those of you who know me - I loved it!

Well, I don't want to make these posts very long until I see how serious I am about sticking to this :)
