News!

OK so I know everyone on here probably already knows, but i just had to blog about it anyways because I finally have something totally awesome to say. I'M PREGNANT!! Yay! We are so so so excited (and a little bit nervous at the same time)! I've been baby hungry for a while, but now that its actually happening it's kinda freaky. Is that an appropriate word to use, freaky? I don't know, but it really does freak me out sometimes. The little bean is due May 20th and we should find out what it is around Christmas. I think that will be a good present don't you? We are both kinda hoping for a little boy, but I'm kinda thinking it will be a girl. My mom thinks it's a girl because I've been pretty sick so she said that "she's already being a little brat" haha. I thought that was pretty funny, and probably true. Plus the Chinese birth calendar said it was going to be a girl too. Oh well, either one would be nice really. We keep calling it a "he" just for fun though. Well that's the not-so-secret news. I'll try and keep you more updated on how things are going from now on, but no promises =)

New addition...

I forgot to mention we got a new addition to the family. Paul and his brother Devin went in together on a fishing boat that they have been wanting for awhile. I haven't been out on it yet, but it looks really fun! And all Carter wants to do is sit in it, he played in it in the garage for like 2 hours tonight. It was so funny.

Sorry, but...

I think I have the greatest parents in the world. I was sick with a kidney infection (so not fun) this weekend and so my parents came down to help take care of me and give Paul a break (he was starting to get bored). They came down and cleaned my house and Paul and my Dad went fishing while my Mom and I did some crafts. There really is nothing like a mother taking care of you when you are sick, they seem to know just what to do and say. Thanks again for coming down for a quick visit, it meant a lot! Love you guys!!

One Year Ago...

One year ago yesterday Paul and I got hitched! I can't believe its already been a YEAR! Its been the best year of my life, and I hope Paul can say the same. To celebrate the momentous occasion we went down to St. George and did a little shopping for school, went on a hike up Kanarraville Falls (which was where he proposed to me, and yes we totally reenacted it. It was super cute.) and then went out to dinner at this really fun Chinese restaurant. All in all it was an amazing day spent with my love. Oh and he sent me roses on Friday at work! They were so pretty! He is too cute. Thanks babe for an amazing year and many more to come. Love you so much!!

Summer lovin'

Wow, I can't believe its the end of June already, this summer has flown by! We have been so busy! I'll try and update you on what we have been doing since May, we have been so blessed recently I can't even believe it. So Paul made the Dean's list for like the third time (smarty pants!), and thanks to his good grades we were able to be accepted into scholarship housing, which will be free for us while we attend school for the next two years. It will be soooo nice not to have to pay rent, we will be able to save so much money! The same week we moved into our new place was also finals week, and I was so stressed about getting everything moved and cleaned up. Thankfully our family (especially my mom) and friends came over and helped clean and move. Thanks so much! That same week I took a few of applications around trying to find a job. I was so nervous and not very hopeful because it has been so hard for people to find jobs down here, but by some miracle I got an interview at a pediatric doctors office that I had been wanting to work at for forever. I got hired and started there about 4 days after I had taken my applications around, it was so amazing! I love my job so much, it's really the best, and I can't believe I actually got hired there. I love love love working with little kids (even though I have to give them shots and make them cry).
And two weekends ago Paul and I went down to California for a little vacation in the sun. We stopped at my brother and sister in-laws house in Vegas and it was so good to get to hang out with them for a little bit. In California we stayed with Paul's aunt and uncle and we had lots of fun playing games and hanging out with them. Paul's Aunt Sunnee also taught me how to make yummy toffee, it was really fun to get to know them better. We also went to an Angel's baseball game (I think I'm a converted fan for life) which was crazy fun because they hit 8 home runs and fireworks went off every time (I love love love fireworks). But the funnest part (for me at least) was going to the beach and renting bikes and riding along the beach for an hour. It was amazing!!
Well I'll try and get on and post more often about our summer adventures, but we don't have the Internet at our new place, so I'm making no promises!

Wedding Pictures

I was a little bored today and decided to put some of our wedding pictures up too. Enjoy!

Spring Break in the Carolinas

Ok I seriously think I'm the WORST blogger ever! It's been like 5 months since my last post and I'm just finally going to tell you about our Spring Break that happened like a month ago. So sorry I'm so bad at this. Anyway, about a month ago Paul and I had our spring break and decided to go back to Paul's mission in South Carolina. My Aunt and Uncle who I hardly ever get to see live in North Carolina so we thought it would be a great chance to go visit and stay with them while we were out there. It was so awesome to go visit some of the families that Paul taught while he was out there. They couldn't say enough great things about him and it just made me feel so lucky to have such a great husband! I could tell Paul really cared about the families he had the opportunity to teach the gospel to. It was amazing to go and visit with them. Also, since North Carolina is the NASCAR capital of the world, we decided to go and visit some of the shops and race tracks, and needless to say I came back a fan ha ha. We had so much fun!! Enjoy the slide show of all our pictures =)
