Oh, the holidays!

Well, it has been far too long since I updated this thing, so I think it's about time!  Jared and I are both keeping extremely busy with school and work and other activities, aka...trying to have some what of a life.  We are both very excited to have next semester off, however Jared may take a class or two because they are not offered during the semesters he is usually in school. I'm defering next semester because our little cutie is due the week before finals week, so I didn't want to be in school and work lots and so that if there are any complications later on in my pregnancy, I don't miss a bunch of school.  Plus, I will be plenty ready and excited to get back to school next fall so that I can graduate next summer!!! YAY! I can't wait to get a 'big girl' job :) 
Baby is growing very well and so am I.  I found out what the sex of the baby is but Jared wants a surprise for the day its born so I am stuck with a very big secret.  But I'm getting pretty good at tricking him so that he has no clue.  It's kind of fun actually.  Anyway, that's about it.  We are going to Jared's Grandma's house for thanksgiving tomorrow.  We are sad that none of our immediate family could make it down here because of this crazy weather but we are sure they are much safer staying home since the roads were and still are so bad!  We will head home to Moscow for christmas so it will be nice to see family then.  

We're Pregnant!!

So as many of you have heard, we are expecting the first little addition to our family next spring!! My official due date is April 1st (april fools day, kinda cool due date if you ask me).  Anywho, we could not be more excited for our little family to grow! So far, from our first ultrasound, there is only one baby in there, but my belly seems to be getting bigger than I have heard that it should be at 12 weeks along.  Hopefully our next ultrasound will still only show one baby!  I feel very blessed because I haven't had hardly any morning sickness at all.  For a few weeks I had to keep something in my system pretty much all day everyday otherwise I would start feeling nauseous.  But other than that, I have been feeling really good and am getting lots of energy back.  We go in for our second appointment this coming friday to make sure everything with our little peanut is going really well!  I'll try and write more frequently and I will also put up more pictures and ultrasound pictures as we get farther along in the pregnancy! 

Livin' It Up

Well, it's been quite a while since I last posted something.  We are both working as supervisors for Pickett's Bambino in Rexburg and have finally decided to go on our honeymoon!!! We are going on a 7-night cruise to the Mexican Riviera at the end of August - which means we get to go to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.  We are really really excited to go and have fun together and be pampered for an entire week!! Woot.
We head home for a long weekend for my older sister, Cassie's, wedding on June 26 and get to spend some time with my extended family.  Not much else is happening for us right now, Jared is busy with work and school and I am mostly just keeping busy with work. 

Married Life

Wow! It's been a long time since I have posted something on here! Well, we have been married for a month today...seems like just a few weeks so time is flying by.  Married life is not quite what both of us expected but we are getting past our getting used to living with each other stage and it is getting a lot smoother!
Jared just found a job so he is getting into the swing of working again...he seems to be happier already...he likes to work (and I am ok with that). I am busy with school...my 7 credit EMT basic class is keeping me very busy but I enjoy everything about it so it is great!
Other than that, life is pretty good.  We have had a few fun outtings in the past month.  We stayed in Park City over the last three day weekend and had somewhat of a honeymoon, which was wonderful and fun exploring. We went and saw a bunch of people doing the skeleton at the Olympic park and that was quite a fun experience. 
This last weekend we went on a day hike at Clark Canyon Reservoir.  We walked across the ice (which was like three or more feet deep and looked really cool, but a bit scary in some places...then hiked up the island and ate lunch then headed home. It was a really sunny day and so much fun to get outside again! Although, we are both excited for winter because we like being outside but don't enjoy the snow and cold nearly as much as the sun!
Other than that all is well! We love our apartment and everything seems to be coming together really well! I will post pictures of our adventures soon hopefully! As well as some wedding pictures since I haven't done that yet either!
