What kind of name is La Du?

As you can see, the title of my blog is "La Du It 2 It."  Are you wondering (I am speaking hypothetically being I don't have any followers) why my blog has that name?  Well let me tell you...

In 2005 I moved to Eau Claire from Arizona to finish out my bachelor's degree.  I am from Minnesota but went to Arizona State for my first 2 years and decided to transfer to UW-Eau Claire to be closer to home.  When I moved to Eau Claire I started a job as a server at a restaurant called Garfield's.  On a side note, that is where I met my now husband and the place that housed the BEST Cuban sandwhich ever!  :)  Anyway, when I started there I don't think anyone referred to me by my actual name - Devon.  I usually went by Devo, D, D-bag - just kidding, I mean, I hope I wasn't called that, ha!  Then someone realized there is a rapper that goes by "Devin the Dude."

Devon La Du

Isn't the resemblance uncanny??

So , naturally I was called that for a while until my now husband came up with the French version "Devon La Du" which quickly turned into just "La Du."  So that name stuck with me...which brings me to my blog title.  Are you asleep yet? 

In other news, I think it might get really close to hitting 40 degrees by the end of the week!!!  Doesn't sound that exciting but it just means that we are getting closer to spring, which brings us closer to summer, which brings my hand closer to a beerita (which takes place of the other adult beverage I have been holding onto all winter long).  I am so excited for warm weather so KB can play outside and not be so cooped up!  I can't wait to feel the warm air on my skin and wear flip-flops!! I am also excited I won't have ogre foot this summer due to being very pregnant!  I am looking forward to running outside, relaxing on a boat, setting up a kiddie pool in our backyard for KB, and chilling out maxing, relaxing all cool out on our patio.  Fresh cut grass smell come to me!!!!!!

Welp, that's all I have for today.  See ya later suckas!

Hot Diggity Dog!

I decided to start a blog.  I have been thinking about it for a while but never had the urge to pull the trigger....until now. 

Why you ask?  Well for a few different reasons.  One, I want to document my life since I just had the cutest baby in all the land this year.  I want to be able to look back at our new life as parents and remember the good, the bad, and the crazy.  Two, I have a some what creative side that has been locked away due to a job in insurance (bleh - just kidding, I like my job a lot) and I thought this would be a fun way to bring that back out.  And three, maybe someone will stumble upon this blog that can relate to something in my life and at the very least, we can laugh about it together. 

My husband and I met almost 8 years ago and have been married almost 3 of those years.  A story about how we met will most likely take place in a future post but I will keep things simple since this is my first post (and I don't want to bore you right away). We bought our first house this last summer when I was 7 months pregnant.  Then we welcomed the love our lives into the world that fall.  Needless to say I am one lucky lady.  Follow along and you will hear all about my every day happenings and probably a bunch of random thoughts.  I will tell you there will probably be alot of pictures of this guy:

How could one resist??  That's KB.  He is the best baby in the world.  :)

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Sunday night and that Monday doesn't creep in and slap you in the face like the bizzo she is!!!
