It's a baby (you fill in the blank)!!

Hey everyone! I'm 16 weeks along, so we are getting an ultrasound on April 30th! Yes, we are going to find out the sex of the baby. We're taking a poll of what you think the sex of our baby will be. You've got a 50/50 chance. :-) Just a little background on me and Josh to help you out. Josh has 2 sisters and no brothers with more girl cousins than boy cousins. I have 5 brothers and 1 sister with more boy cousins than girl cousins. So there's a little somethin' somethin' that might help...if not, sorry. Now vote and tell us if you think we'll have a boy or a girl. We'll announce the winners when we find out...we hope it's on the first ultrasound....we hope.

Birthdays, papyrus, and a baby....

For the first part of Spring Break Josh and I worked - BORING! But on Thursday of Spring Break we got to go to Boise, ID for Lincoln's 1st birthday! Lincoln is the son of my brother, Blake, and his cute wife, Trish. Lincoln is just so adorable. One funny part was the fact that he wouldn't dig into his cupcake or cake...in fact, the whole thing made him rather upset. You can tell by his picture that he is just so excited about that cupcake. Actually he was more confused at why everyone was looking at him and taking pictures. But when he wasn't being stared at like a tiger in the zoo, he loved the camera - mainly because it's an adult electronic toy. But you can tell by these pictures just how cute he is! He's even cuter in real life! Another fun part about our stay in Boise was that we got to stay at a hotel. We were with my mother, so between the three of us we had a lot of stuff. In my mothers defense she brought stuff for the birthday party, and the sewing machine to fix Josh's suit! Which, by the way, looks SO great...especially on Josh. Anyway, to haul all of our stuff up to the room we got one of those handy dandy luggage carriers. And, of course, my cute husband had too much fun with it. It's a good thing that my younger brother wasn't there...DANGER! We had a great time in Boise and it was hard to leave. It all happened so fast, but we were so glad that we got to spend that time with my mother and Blake and Trish - we love you guys!
Even though the next week meant school, I was really looking forward to Wednesday. That happened to be my bestest girlfriend's birthday - Mrs. Beth Bernards! The saddest part was that I only got to talk on the phone with her for only but a moment because she lives in the third world country of Del Rio Texas. Ha ha. So I decided to celebrate her birthday in a way that I knew she would want me to! I went and got my hair cut and colored! I am such a nice friend! So here's a picture for you Beth Ann - Happy Birthday!
And lastly, we FINALLY got our papyrus all framed and hung! We got it for our wedding and it took forever to finally finish it. Pictured here is the last one of our sequence of three. I wish I could've gotten all three of them in the picture, but they're so big...this way you can see it close up. We did all three of them for around $60 total...yeah, amazing! We got the frames for $5 each and two of the frames already had mats we could use...it was great!

And for REAL lastly - I am 13 weeks pregnant this week. I am due September 27th. I'm pushing for the 25th so it's on my brother's birthday. ;-) I have had "morning sickness" that lasts pretty much all day. But luckily I've never thrown up and now I'm slowly moving out of that stage. Wahew! I am grateful to my sister-in-law, Jen, who gave me some of her maternity clothes...what a blessing!!! I'm still in my same clothes, but I know they'll start to get tighter pretty quick. We are excited and yet very nervous. What a huge responsibility the Lord has given us to raise one of his children in this world. We are so grateful for the love of our Heavenly Father and we know that He will guide us in our weaknesses. We love you all and thank you for your love and support! We are so blessed!

The Week O' Valentines

This week was a fun week! On Tuesday I went to the best enrichment ever! Why was it the best ever? It was all about CHOCOLATE! We made chocolate covered strawberries, peanut butter cups, chocolate cups filled with cheesecake, and chocolate hearts. It was oh so yummy! Josh was not feeling in the mood for strawberries so I got to eat all of them. The next day was a crazy day! It started snowing around 11 a.m. and by 2 p.m. it was an all out blizzard! The wind was blowing so hard! The campus closed that evening and my boss sent me home an hour early. I went to pick up Josh from class and the road closest to his class was closed! Poor Josh had to walk all the way across campus with just his hooded sweatshirt on! Here's a picture just outside of our apartment. We never get snow on our steps, so this goes to show you how bad the wind was blowing! I'm ready for Hawaii! Of course Thursday was Valentine's Day. Josh and I had an amazing steak dinner with mashed potatoes and corn that we cooked ourselves! Josh also gave me two roses. We didn't have a vase for them, so I got the next best thing! An A&W 2 liter soda bottle! The things you do when you're poor! Of course this week wouldn't have been complete without some sort of cough. It ended with Josh getting sick - no pun intended. He had a fever and was feeling awful. Luckily, my younger brother was home and was able to come over and give Josh a priesthood blessing - thanks EVAN! By the end of the night, his fever broke and he was able to sleep beautifully that night! It was a wonderful ending to a great week!

Introducing the newest eyeglass models

Josh and I recently got new glasses and we wanted to show them off. We also like taking pictures with our laptop - we can be entertained for hours! As you can tell, there is something on the screen of our HUGE (sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm) TV in the background. Josh was just playing some basketball on the PS2. Don't worry, he won, and according to the game, he makes millions of dollars. He also plays golf on the PS2 where he just happens to be Tiger Woods. You can only imagine the loads of money he makes being Tiger Woods! So needless to say, we will be flying everyone to Hawaii soon! We'll keep you posted on that!

We Thank Thee O God For A Prophet

We, like so many others, are so grateful to have been here on the earth while President Hinckley was our prophet. We have learned so much from him and have come to know Christ better through him and his example. Though it is hard to know that he is no longer on this earth, I get chills every time I think about who he's seeing and what he's doing now. How exciting it must be for him to be reunited with his dear sweet wife and to be furthering the kingdom with all of the prophets of old. We are also very excited for our new prophet and we know that he will do great things because this is the Church of Jesus Christ restored to this earth in the latter days. We truly, "Thank Thee O' God for a Prophet!"
