Blog Schmog

As you can see, Even my hands are fat. Therefore I am not going to post my fat face or butt. Just the belly, that is all you get. I am 33 weeks and counting. So far its been a really healthy pregnancy as far as blood work, blood pressure ect.. The time is ticking and not fast enough. I am quitting work as of the 27th of this month. Parts of me want to keep working and parts of me do not. Mainly my back and feet tell me not to, oh and my hormones. (They cant put up with my boss :) Mom is throwing me a shower at her brand new house on the 7th of March. My dearest friend Rheanna and Kim are planning on coming from Utah! They are my only friends that have made the drive to see me since I have moved here over three years ago. I LOVE YOU TWO! This seems more like a journal entry. As time grows near I keep wondering how my 3 dogs will fare with the bambino. I think it will be ok. They are my family too! Here is a picture of the two that will be most jelouse. Man is our life gonna change.......

IM SO SORRY!

So..... I have not posted a blog in centuries! Lets see..... I have been growing a huge belly filled with kicking baby. Woah is he a little kicker. I have been working and that is about it. I need to put a recent belly picture up here. Last night a lady was looking at me and said "Dang! When is your due date you are HUGE" I said "Thank you" . I guess there was not much else to say to her. I am thinking if she only knew I had 10 more weeks! Other then that, Grandma fell down and broke her femur, Steve took a wild ride to the ER and Mom and Dads house is almost ready to move into! Mom is going to throw me a baby shower in March. That should be fun. I will have to throw some pictures up here tomorrow cause I just noticed I cant find my camera!

What the new year will bring.....

A lot has happened for Steve and I in 2008. We are ready to bid it farewell and start the New Year. We are expecting a little boy the first week of April and could not be more excited. What a life changing experience! We were so happy to have found out and are sure we can handle what is to come. Here's to a GREAT and Exciting New Year for everyone! May God bless your families and hope that it only gets better!

Yes we need a little Christmas.....

Last year I threw a l ittle Christmas party with my siblings and it was a lot of fun. This year, my parents and Grandma live here so it added more fun! The thing I required for entrance was that they wear a turtle neck and/or some form of obnoxious Christmas attire. It was funny to see what my brother showed up in. We had tons of finger foods and games and of course white elephant. Loved it! Thanks for coming and being a good sport about the Christmas attire~!

Refining Fire

"The thorns that prick, that stick in the flesh, that hurt, often change lives which seem robbed of significance and hope. This change comes about through a refining process which often seems cruel and hard. In this way the soul can become like soft clay in the hands of the Master in building lives of faith, usefulness, beauty, and strength. For some, the refiner’s fire causes a loss of belief and faith in God, but those with eternal perspective understand that such refining is part of the perfection process." James E. Faust


This year has been a real challenge to a lot of people I know including us. I can not help but to be grateful for what I have and know that the things that seem unbearable and horrid right now are to refine us and make us better.

Let it snow!

Last year we had like 4 feet of snow all winter long in our back yard. We had our first snow storm Christmas Eve (and it was just magical) and it never stopped till may! Steve was working in Logan during the week all winter and that meant I had to shovel the walks. The worst part was the driveway, because the snow plow would come by and leave a huge wall of ice in front of your driveway two times a day. What a pain! I am glad it has not snowed yet. Last year was miserable. I am having a family Christmas party this saturday and I cant wait! I will post some pics cause I told everyone to wear a turtle neck and/or some funky Christmas attire.

1. I am thankful for Jesus Christ and his Gospel.
2. I am thankful I have a handsome hard working husband.
3. I am thankful my parents live here close by and are the most giving people I know.
4. I am thankful for my sisters and brother and their examples.
5. I am thankful for a warm home and food on the table.

Those are only 6 but those 6 have been on my mind lately. Happy Thanksgiving!!
