Then Comes Baby in the Baby Carraige!!

Well finally i can announce that me and Brandon are going to have a baby!!!! What a blessing this little one will be. After trying for as long as we did and it finally being here, it almost seems unreal...but we got our babies first picture taken today and saw his(her) little heart just a beating. I am 7 weeks pregnant and my due date is June 22, 2009.
It is so amazing what can happen when you stop to listen to the Spirit and follow His promptings. I got pregnant the very next month after giving up my graduate school. That is something that i really really wanted, but I had to show just how much more i wanted a baby, and once i gave up the fight, i won. Our Heavenly Father is so aware of each of us. He wants the best for us all and we just need to be willing to give ourselves to His will, and everything that is good and right will come our way. I am starting to see that I have to give up one thing to get a better thing.....if you all don't know the story behind me meeting Brandon i will give you the readers digest version.....
I was at BYU-Idaho loving life. I was loving the education i was receiving there as well as the many friends i gained there. But one day--the second day of school in fact. I woke up crying and knew that i was not supposed to be there anymore(i had just left USU a year and a half ago because i felt prompted to go). So i knelt down and prayed about it and received my answer. So after that semester i got my AA from BYU-I and headed back to USU to finish my BS. The next semester i was there, i met the most wonderful man in the world...i had to give up BYU-I to get the man i had always dreamed of marrying.
My testimony is growing in that our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to succeed. He just wants us to give of ourselves to Him and trust Him to lead and guide us to where He wants us to be.

Promises Promises

Ok so now it is just pathetic at how long i am taking to update....but i can promise promise promise i will post tomorrow!! PROMISE!!

Slow as a Turtle

So i am sorry i am such a slow poster...i am planning on updating tomorrow!! Promise, i just need to find the camera cord!

In the Blink of an eye

So are you sick of me not updating?? I am so here i go for quite the update!
I cannot believe how fast time fly's and how much we are able to do in such a small a small amount of time. Yet, more i wonder why we have aspirations that are nearly impossible to meet tin the few hours in a day that we have.
You ask why do you say that? Well......
Two weeks ago i had to quite graduate school because of the lack of time.... and sanity to be totally honest. My job is good, just more time is needed there then i could have ever anticipated. I also am loving my husband, and would like to be a wife for him, cook him dinner, do our laundry, clean the house, and be nice and friendly (not short and ornery) to everyone around me--i hide it well, so Brandon just gets the brunt of it. Sad. These are all quite good reasons as to why I choose to drop out. Also, not many people know but me and Brandon have been trying to have a baby for a year now, and thought that it might be better if i was not crazy stressed out all the time. So there it is, my excuse for dropping out. I am so sad to say that i am not in school anymore. I love school, but i love my life too. I am considering starting later on in my life.

Also i have to say Happy Birthday Honey!!! Brandon turned 26 yesterday. We had a good fun night. I surprised him with a tent, dutch oven dinner and a movie last night. Dinner was good, and just being with him up the mountains was an awesome evening. We layed in the tent and watched a movie....that is until the DVD player ran out of battery....so then we packed up and watched the rest at home after blowing out the candles--twice. Well not really twice, but i had to light 2 candles after he had blown out the 24 on the cake---sad we are getting so old that there aren't enough candles in one package. SAD DAY!!!!!
I love my man more than anything in the world!! He is amazing, and i am foreverly thankful i have him for all eternities.

Something in the Air

So last night was a huge storm. I loved watching the lightning and listening to the thunder. I love rain storms, especially thunderstorms.
I have this theory, that there is one huge storm the end of August or first of Setember that turns the season to fall.....and yep that storm last night did it. How do i know, you ask.....cause the temp outside is WONDERFUL!! and there is that fall smell that is the most wonderful and comforting and memory building smell. When i smell it, it takes me to high school, that first fall of collage and all the many others after. It brings such a smile on my face to remember that smell and all those memories.
I LOVE FALL!! So happy fall to you all!!!!

Something Fishy

On Monday i tried a new recipe and it turned out great, So i am sharing with all you other women out there wanting something new, and a more than the same ol same ol. It is called Broiled Tilapia Parmesan. Just for information sake, when i made it i changed the serving size to 2, and instead of celery salt i used dill, and instead of onion powder i used onion salt and it was WONDERFUL!

Starting a new job is like.....

So I started work....yea! Well its not always a yea at first, more like a tornato has hit a filing cabnet (your head) and there is new forms and paper flying at you at every direction and you are trying to sort it all into files with all that is already there, that is now in the wrong folder!! But the happy thing is that in the end you can have a rainbow, somthing beautiful comes at the end of something so messy and life changing. We have such an amazing world, where nature can be so symbolic of our lives...and be so so beautiful. I found that picture online, and just thought that if fit. We are all so very lucky to live in this beautiful world, created just for us.

Just thought i would update and let you know i am alive--just have the after math of a tornato to clean up and rebuild!! :)
