A bummer and a GREAT blessing....

I'm 7 months pregnant. With some pregnant women, myself included, comes the wonderful world of edema, aka, swelling. I didn't have any swelling until about a week and a half ago. Now I have swelling in my feet. It wasn't too bad, and even now it's not horrible until the very end of the day. It's uncomfortable and it's really unattractive!! That's the bummer part of this post...and it's not that big of a deal. Really, I can't complain because I know it could be much worse, but it's still a bummer. So in the midst of my bummer is my greatest blessing...my dear husband! Last night we were at our friends house and I put my feet up on him and he proceeded to rub my feet to help with the swelling. Then when we got home he helped me to put things away before bed so that I could hurry and put my feet up. When I went to put my feet up on one of my pillows he proceeded to give me his nicest and biggest pillow to add to my "prop up" pile. Then he put ice packs on my feet to further help with my swelling. When it was time to say our prayers together, he knelt down at the side of our bed beside me and made me stay on the bed with my feet propped up while we prayed.

Every time I feel the need to complain, I am always humbled. I am so blessed to have a great husband who takes care of me in many ways. I know that it is so easy to find the negative in things and even easier to complain about them! How much greater is our joy as we count our blessings amidst our trials! I know that I have greater trials to face that far out-weigh swollen feet, but I take comfort and courage to know that I have a loving husband by my side who listens to the Spirit. I also take comfort in knowing that I have a loving Heavenly Father who will not leave me comfort-less in my times of greatest need! He cares about our every trial - even if it is merely swollen feet!

Josh is a more powerful machine

So i am a Corvette and terra is a porche i think we are a good match let us know what you think!!

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Apparently Terra is a Porche 911

I saw this on lots of other people's blogs and I thought it was fun...so I went ahead and took it. I don't mind being a Porsche...vroom, vroom!

I'm a Porsche 911!

You have a classic style, but you're up-to-date with the latest technology. You're ambitious, competitive, and you love to win. Performance, precision, and prestige - you're one of the elite,and you know it.

Camping!!!!!!!!!!

I love camping! I thought i would just say that first. So when the opportunity arises to camp we jump on it. The University 57th ward that we are in had a ward campout and it was a success. We needed to make sure we had all the poles first to our tent. And after arriving home late we decided that hey lots of people put up tents at 11 p.m. in their parking lots. So we just wanted to be like everyone else and do that. So we did and success, it was all there and the tent was bigger than we thought.
We had the shindig out at a ward members family cabin area. We had about 30 people show up between coming out the night before, the ones staying the night, and also coming for breakfast the next morning. We are greatful for the members in our ward and the fun times we have with them. Everyone started arriving and putting up tents and sitting around eating dinners and having conversations. Then we started playing some games. We played volleyball with some of the members of the ward. Everyone seemed to have a ton of fun. It was fun to sit around with some of our friends and just talk and see how they are doing. If you look at the picture of me and Drew Roska, directly above Drew's head is our tent. Above left is our friends Mike and Jessie Hylton, we are so glad Mike gave a serious Face. I could not resist putting this picture of drew with his cowboy hat sideways. He went from Cowboy Jim to Huckleberry Finn. As the night went on several of the ward members started playing a game called Pirates Dice. It is the game from the 2nd pirates of the caribean movie. And some of us just sat around the camp fire talking and getting to know one another. It was a wonderful evening in Logan Canyon, there was a slight breeze that made it perfect for camping. The next morning we all got up and cooked some breakfast. How can you go wrong with Bacon and Eggs? And to top it we added pancakes, hashbrowns, and Chocolate Milk. Yum Yum. Then we took down our tents said some goodbyes and went home and took a much needed post-camping nap. We also did some stuff around the house. Then we were invited up to our friends Dave and Kendra Biggers house for some food and games. We were excited when finding out that we were having Hawaiian Haystacks. It was a yummy feeling in my tummy that is for sure. We sat around and talked and enjoyed our time with the Biggers. Dave and I, i don't care how maybe girly this sounds, are going to start a book club. Since we are both adamant readers and enjoy a lot of the same genre of books. I am excited. We are hoping to get this up and going around August. So any suggestions of books you may have is much appreciated. We had a funny experience during dinner. While Kendra Bigger was eating her grape salad she kept stabbing at her grapes on her plate with her fork and missing them. When she would hit the plate her son Grant would laugh cause he thought it was the funniest thing ever. We didn't get the one of Grant laughing so hard that we all had to stop eating and laugh. But this video will show what happen. We are greatful for these fun experiences we had this weekend. These are memories with friends that we won't forget and that we are glad to have had. We are greatful for all of our friends and our frienships with them and the things they do for us like the Sandbergs who brought us cookies today on their anniversary. We told them they were crazy but we are very appreciative. We hope that all are doing well and we miss everyone very much.

Don't you hate it when.....

Don't you hate it when everyone complains that you don't update your blog and then when you do, you only get 2 comments on it? I even posted lots of pictures for everyone's enjoyment! Ah well! Perhaps this was a bad week for everyone and you were all on vacation, or it's even possible that you've lost a little faith in the Huff blog and so you've just stopped looking altogether...so sad. We are sorry and I do promise some very exciting posts coming up! This week my little brother cut the tip of his finger off so we will be posting about that - yes, there will be pictures! AND, we're going camping tonight with our ward so there will be some really fun pictures with that as well! And just because I like all of you who read our blog, I'm posting a picture of me and my best friend Beth in the recording studio - on the road to fame! I took this from your blog Beth, hope you don't mind! So there you have it folks, two blogs in one week and I even included pictures. I try to be accommodating!

FINALLY....SHEESH!

Well, we're blogging slackers. Sorry to our faithful blog readers...how boring are we? Well, we're not that boring, just busy. Lame excuse to some, but very valid to us! Down to business. We will start with Memorial Day. We had tons of fun. We went to Layton for the first part of the day and then ended up at the Biggers for some delicious shish-ka-bobs! Here's a picture of the Biggers, Wallaces and Terra. Josh is taking the picture, but his empty plate is there. Grant Bigger wanted in on the picture action too....and Josh took plenty of pictures of him! Josh decided to take a picture of me pregnant, so here's one of me in pregnant clothes looking very pregnant...not the most glorious picture, but what do you do? At the end of May we had a bbq with our apartment complex. It was quite fun and entertaining. We have some pretty good neighbors. So here's a picture of all of us eating and what not, we are quite the social butterflies. :-) The first weekend in June my best friend, Beth Bernards, came into town with her husband and cute daughter. For Beth's birthday in March I told her that we were going to record a song and that was my present to her. So she and I got to record and we sounded hot! We'll probably go big sometime soon because we're pretty much amazing. Just kidding. But in all seriousness, we had a great time and came out with a wonderful recording. That Saturday night we got together with the Bernards and Becca, Anthony, (AKA Anthecca) and Lilly Wilkenson for a barbecue! They also gave me a mini baby shower and brought this wonderful cake! I LOVED it...not only was it cute, but it tasted soooo good. We ate and played a game of marbles where the girls came out victorious! Then we had fun talking and hanging out. Claire got everyone to take her in to see the bird...Josh even took her after she was told that the bird was asleep - he's a sucker for the kids! The next day Beth, Paul, and Claire were able to come to our sacrament meeting and it was fun to be able to see them one last time before they had to leave to go back home to the land of Texas. We're so glad that they were able to come! I wish Texas wasn't so far away, but we are grateful for the fun memories! A couple of weekends ago we had the opportunity to build a fort in the basement of the Bigger home. Let me tell you, I've never seen men so intense as they plotted out their building strategies. But it was the women who came up with the winning building scheme in the end - what a great fort. After it was finished we watched Dan in Real Life! As you can tell, it was Chelsea Sandberg's idea for the tent - hence the reason why she's the MOST excited. Swen was a little upset...not really,
it's just how the moment was captured - too funny! That same weekend we were able to go to a Salt Lake Bees game - thanks to my brother-in-law for scoring us some GREAT seats! We were in the 4th row behind home plate! We went with our friends the Howe family and also the Watkins family. It was such great fun. It was a double header with fireworks after the game. We stayed for both games, but left before the fireworks. We had to beat the traffic, and Josh had Bishopric meetings the next day. He's so diligent! I sure do love him! And the last thing I need to blog about, quickly before our laptop dies, is the newest member of our family...no I haven't had the baby yet - thankfully. But Josh has his own little baby right now. He got a new bike this weekend. After we bought the bike we went right out and got him a new helmet. He was so excited that he wore his bike helmet all the way home while he drove the car. He's so funny. Josh took it out for its first test ride that day and he rode it to school and back today! So that's the fast version of what we've been up to lately. I promise that we will be more faithful in our blogs, so don't give up on us yet!

New Post Coming SOON

So I promise that we will be posting something really soon. I'm sorry that we haven't posted in a really long time. How very embarrassing. Everything is going well, though. We are doing great and loving life. We'll have more details and also some snazzy pictures sometime this week. :-)
