Ok so I am not in the mood to fix my last post, so I am only going to post one picture for now. I think I have put off posting about this long enough, but WE ARE PREGNANT!! Its true and kinda crazy but we are so so excited!! The picture is a terrible terrible picture, but it is the only one I have right now, and I was just messing around. This picture was taken about 3 weeks ago when I was only 17 weeks along, but now we are half way and cant believe how fast the time has gone. We are now 20 weeks and will be having our official ultrasound on Friday. We had a unofficial ultrasound about 3 weeks ago, and they suspect that it is a girl, but wouldn't guarantee it, so I guess we will find out how right they were on Friday!! Its been a rough 5 months, but things are starting to get better and as you can guess yes my stomach is getting much bigger!! Well that mostly explains why I haven't posted in a long time and gets you up to date with our lives!!! I cant wait to see Russ with our little one, he is already so excited!!

A Post at Last!!

Ok, so it has been a crazy 4 months!! So much has been going on, I don't really even know where to start..... Well first of all I started my job back in July and I love it!! Way better than student teaching!! My class is so fun and my aides are wonderful!! Its been a good year so far. One of my dearest friends Carli got married in October and it was so so fun to share the special day with her and Chuck.

Our Halloween was so fun, my family always has soup and breadsticks while we pass out the candy and I absolutely love it!! Jess and Scott came over and played games and it was the best Halloween ever!! Russ and I also had the opportunity to go and see my little brother test for his black belt, that was fun!! He did a great job!! We are very excited for him.

So I promised my wonderful friend Anna that I would take a picture weekly and post about it, well obviously I have been very bad at that promise!! But in all fairness, so has she!! lol Just kidding Anna I love ya!! Well here are a few pictures from the last few months!!

Boring Life!!

Well it has been forever since I have posted, but our life is really not that interesting!! But I thought that I would take a minute and post about Russ before school starts and I really don't have time, so I thought that I would post a few pictures of us from over the years!! Again I always forget to type this part last!! Oh well....Russ and I have had a wonderful 2 1/2 years, and are looking forward to ETERNITY!!! To be Continued.......

Sub Zero!!

I am in LOVE!!! This is seriously the best ice cream I have ever had!! I am not a huge ice cream person, but this is so good!! I am so in love!! Maybe that is why we had this ice cream four times in one week!! I am totally embarrassed!!

WaHoo!!!

The Day I have been waiting for, for as long as I can remember, finally came and went!! No I am not talking about my wedding day, but that already did too!! On May 8th, 2009 I GRADUATED!! I graduated from the University of Utah with my bachelors degree in Early Childhood Special Education!! I absolutely love my major and can not wait to start my career!! There are a few people I would like to thank for helping me get through all this!! First I want to thank my mom and dad, without them I might have given up! I love them!!

I would also like to thank Jen Macfarlane!! I was her student teacher, and she has taught me so much. Without her help I don't think I would have found my passion!! I aspire to be a great educator like her!! Thanks Jen!! I would also like to thank Danielle!! She knows the reason why, but without her help 25 credits and student teaching in two placements our last semester of college, would have broke me!! Who else is crazy enough to try totackle that task with me??!! I also want to send a shout out to Erin!! She is so great, and has become a great friend!! She helped me through the last couple of semesters. She was pregnant for most of our last semester, then had a darling little guy!! I owe a lot to her!! I know that I have gained life long friends with these three amazing women!!

I would like to thank my best friend Jessica!! She is the greatest friend anyone could ever ask for!! She understands me when I don't understand me!! She is the best!! She was able to come to my graduation which was the best gift ever!! Jess I love you!! Jess is graduating from the U this December with two degrees. She will have a degree in sociology and social work. She is such a great example of hard work and dedication, my venting buddy, and truly the sister I never had!! I love ya Jess!! (and our husbands are better friends than we are)

Lastly, I would like to thank Russ!! Without him I would be lost. He is my soul mate!! He has done so much to support me through school, it was a huge sacrifice for him, but I love him for it. He is the best husband!! I can't imagine my life without him. He is so loving, patient, and helps me be a better version of myself everyday!! He has put up with a lot during these last two semesters, he pretty much didn't have a wife!! I love you baby!! You are my whole world!! Thanks for the best two years, can't wait for the rest of our lives!!

My mom, me, and my wonderful grandma!!

My grandparents were able to make it up from St. George!!

My Family!! My brothers totally look like dorks, but loved that they were all able to come!! My in laws also were able to come!! I am so grateful for all these wonderful people in my life!! Now I just need to find a JOB!! WISH ME LUCK!!!

Apparently I couldn't add the rest of these to my other post, so here they are!! As you can see we have had a fun couple of months!! Russ is doing so well in work and school, I am so proud of him, and I just started my last semester of school and couldn't be happier!! Well Maybe not!! Jess this is for you!! Are you proud? This is how we celebrated the new year!!
