Baby Name

So Alex and I recently decided that if we have a boy we are naming him ...

JUDE. (after the beatles song of course). For the middle name I really really like Holden. (after catcher in the rye).

So it would be Jude Holden Retter.

If we have a GIRL....we are naming her....

SCOUT. (after scout from to Kill a Mockingbird). Probably my favorite person in literature, and i'm remembering reading that many times hoping that one day my daughter would be like her.

Alex is working on a middle name for Scout.

I'm wondering what you guys think about the names and also if you have any suggestions for middle names for Jude or Scout...we like literature names mostly. But we're open! :) Thanks !

REASONS WHY MY HUSBAND IS COOLER THAN YOURS.

I swear, I was really bored at work today. (which never happens considering my work is like a sweat shop). BUT, today was slow, my patients stable, and I had nothing better to do than to think about my awesome wonderful sweet and amazing husband. And these pictures remind me of JUST how great he really is.

1. HE ALWAYS *ROCKS* the Headband, bandanna band, whatever. Also, he MAKES hemp. And wears it. and looks like, so freaking hot in it.




2. Although he says he HATES school, he obviously enjoys indulging in his dorky side.

3.. He is tattooed. :) and he also loves nature.

4. No comment, but obviously, awesome.




5. I stumbled across this picture, from way before we even met. And thought, oh my lord what a badass. I love badasses. Hence, i love my husband even more than a second ago.




6. This was on a camping trip the first summer we met. Not only is alex a genius (shedding light for all of us at night) but he looks so cute in his eagle scout type fashion.



7. He is passionate about music, loving and being a free-spirit. Look at that bearded burly dream. I really love that man :)
