Sorry for the Absence!!!

So, it's been awhile! I don't even know if I have any readers out there anymore!!! :-( Sorry it's hard to get anything done when you have a human being growing inside you. :-) That's right...I'M PREGNANT!!! Due at the end of February. We had our first ultrasound today. And that's the little blob alien thing you see in the picture below. We're super excited. I've been pretty exhausted so I don't get much done except what I absolutely have to. Besides that...things have been going pretty well. I finished my summer class and got an A- so I'm happy about that. We had a great romantic anniversary on the 11th. My little brother moved to Iowa State this week and I've been really sad about it but I'm happy for him and love him very much. School starts on Monday so that will be crazy. I'm not quite sure how it will be waddling around campus when I'm totally huge but hopefully it'll all work out. :-) Anyway, have a good day and I'll be posting soon. (I promise!!!)

Bittersweet

Last night Tyler's Grandpa passed away in his sleep. While those of us here are grieving I know couldn't be happier than to be with his sweetheart again. Last time we saw him was on his 90th birthday. I just want to tell my husband I love him and to his mom I hope we can help her through this tough time of loss.

Wonderful Weekend

This weekend we went down to MIL's house and spent the weekend. It was so much fun! Friday night we went out to eat with her and the guy she has been dating. On Saturday morning we went to the temple. I love the Manti temple it is just breathtaking. After we finished the endowment session a worker asked us to step in and help with sealings so we got to do that also! It was awesome. After that we went four-wheeling up Ephraim Canyon. It is so pretty up there! I have only driven them a couple times but I actually drove the whole way down the mountain!!! It was amazingly fun but extremely terrifying but we are still in one piece! It was fun to spend time with Ty's brother and his family also. It is so serene and beautiful down there, it just breaks up the stress from being in the city.

This is when we got back. Notice I'm driving :-)

Who is this handsome guy? ;-)
These are when we got to the top of the mountain. So pretty! I love being able to hear the stream water running and the leaves blowing in the wind. It's so relaxing! There are a bunch of wild cats and my MIL feeds them her leftover scraps. Well I fell in love with this kitten. It is so cute!!! It's mom died :-( I wanted to take it home so badly! We even lured it to us with food and got to hold it!

Updates

So I know it has been about a year since I blogged. Oh well. Things have gotten crazy! I got a job up at the admissions office at school so that's good. And it's lots of fun. Plus the management is way cool and accommodating(I don't think you spell it that way oops)! What a change :-)
This is after my brother's graduation. He got to speak at it and did amazing so that was awesome. So congrats! He's the sixth kid from our family to graduate from good ol' CHS.

We took a family vacation up to Pineview Reservoir and we had lots of fun. It was really pretty up there!

Stop And Think

On Thursday morning I went out to the car at about 6:45 am to go to class. I saw that the driver side window was totally shattered and someone had gone through the whole glove box and had stolen our radio. And broke our cup holder. :-( Ty had to drive me to class. We were both really upset and I was so mad and sad when I was walking into class. I thought why would someone do this? How can they even sleep at night knowing what they put people through. I was stressing about the money that we would need to fix it. Anyway, while I was totally feeling bad for myself...I sat down next to my project partner in class. He seemed down so I asked him what was up. He replied that a friend of his had died the day before in a car accident. Suddenly all my hard feelings shattered. Here I am wallowing in self pity and someone else is grieving over the death of a loved one. I thought to myself, everyone I love is just a phone call or a short drive away. I have a roof over my head and food to fill my stomach. And while I'm still not happy about what happened to the car, I have a total different perspective on things. I'm grateful for all that I have and I hope that I can always stop and think and remember how blessed my life truly is. :-)
