APRIL! can you believe it is spring already?

It is Spring? Then why is it still snowing? We wake up to over 6 inches on the cars? THIS IS APRIL! QUIT SNOWING. I wish I was going to Hawaii this week. I want to lay on a beach!

So, I have basically done a overview of the year till now so now I just need to remember to update this. I will try my best. Chris is going to read what I have written and probably call me a geek for writing what I did. Then he will remind me of a million other things that I could have posted about. Oh well. What has happened so far this month?
Whats new? Well my parents are moving to a new house on south mtn. It is beautiful. They have all new furniture. ...Yes, I am a tad jealous. It has an AMAZING view of the valley. They will be moving in (hopefully) the second weekend of April. Chris and my family are working on the finishing touches this weekend, while I am at work.
Chris is done with school for the semester at the end of this month. That should mean that he is studying, but he hasnt done a whole lot of that yet. I guess he figures he will later or something. We (chris and I) are really good at putting work second and fun first. Hopefully he gets enough tiem to study before the test. That is one part I dont miss about school-the finals.

Last night Chris and I went and saw the movie "21". We both really liked it. We were reminded why we love watching movies at home though. I wanted a drink. That will be 4.50. Popcorn 5.00 candy 4.00. It was just insane to me that it has gotten that expensive. Then we get into the theatre and end up with this group of high school or younger kids next to us. That shouldnt have been a problem its not like they are not old enough to sit still for two hours. Well, WRONG! they climed over us like 6 times. (we were sitting on the end) Is it impossible for them to tie the bathroom trip into the snack trip as well? For this group the answer is yes. The girl right next to me sat texting on her blackberry the whole time. My problem with this is A: She has a blackberry and was maybe 15. Why in the heck does she need that much phone. Is she running her own business or something? That would be the only reason I see necessary for her to have internet access at all times. Problem B. The screen is fairly big on her phone and bright, and she is not even trying to sheild the light from it. I wouldnt care if she got it out to glance at time, or send a message once. But, she was actively texting thru the ENTIRE MOVIE. It became funny to me. She wasted 8 bucks to sit at a show she didnt watch. She could have just stayed home and talked to whoever it was. Well, I think thats about enough ranting about that.

MARCH! finally... March 3rd at 3:30.

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!

Chris and I are Going to be DADDY AND MOMMY

and we are so excited we can hardly even stand it!

and this day was the first Dr. appointment. So, we get there. Sign in, and begin the wait. Waiting waiting ....thats that part that sucks about being one of the last appointments. You have to wait for them to catch up from all the other appointments that have either taken longer than anticipated or for the people that showed up late and threw the whole day of scheduling off. Finally the nurse calls me back to a litte room and says the Dr. will be in shortly. WAITING AGAIN. Another long while has passed and the dr. shows up. We talk, she answers tons of questions for me. Then we got the hear the heart beat! That was something that was so crazy. First we could hear mine...she explains that is the slower one as we hear another one that is much faster. THAT IS A BABY! OH WOW----suddenly the few mornings afternoons and nights that I have seen my meals come back up are not so bad. That sound is a little miracle growing in side of me. No, I didnt cry, but its a sound that definitely could trigger that. Chris and I are so incredibly excited to be parents!
The rest of the month--- work work work. Not much to tell. I have not been sick very often. till the last week of the month. But not like really sick, more tired than anything.
Chris has been an amazing sport. There has been lots of sitting home watching tv nights rather than out and about. He makes me dinner and lets me just lay on the couch while he takes care of me. He is so wonderful!

February!

Happy Valentines Day! Chris brought home flowers and had a sweet card for me. Due to the way work schedules went that day we made dinner at home and watched a movie. It was a great Valentines Day! I LOVE CHRIS!
The rest of this month went by fairly slow...we were waiting for an appointment that was set for MARCH 3rd.

Catch up for the year of 2008

January...

Happy New Year! We cant believe how fast years go by. This was our 4th new years eve together. Wow do I love having someone to kiss at midnight! I also love knowing I have someone to have new adventures with thru another new year. We went snowmobiling a couple of times. We went to the cabin (by scoffeild res.) and spent the weekend playing. It is always so much fun to get away!
One weekend Chris and I decided we would drive up to the cabin on a Friday night. Well, we took our time getting there. Stopped for new gloves. Stopped and had dinner. This and that. Suddenly it was 8 pm and we had not even past Provo yet. It only takes about 1 1/2 hours to get there but the canyon is FULL of deer, and at that time snow. We decide that even though it was dark we would just drive slow and get there. Well, the canyon drive went fine. We didnt hit any animals. We did count over 20 dead dear on that particular drive.
We got to the lake and the road that takes us up to the cabin had been plowed but had ruts that were super deep. Chris puts the truck into 4wheel drive and starts driving. It was a silent truck cab. I was just holding on as the truck slid back and forth. We made it clear to the top of the hill. This takes about 10 minutes most the time. We had spent 45 making that part of the drive. Now we are at the top of the hill and should only had to spend like 5 minutes getting to the canyon. Oh, no. Not this time. The road that would take us there the fastest is not plowed wide enough for the truck. So we take the long way around. Another half hour has passed at this poing. We are finally at the driveway of the cabin. The only problem is that the plow has not been to it yet. There is like 10-12 feet of snow blocking our way. Hiking in would be an option if there was somewhere to pull the truck off the road, but there isn't. There is only room for one vehicle on the narrow plowed area, and no turn-around spots have been plowed. So, Chris got to back the truck up till there was enough room to turn around. We are both laughing at this point. We had been so determined, and now there was nothing we could do but go home. The sad part was the camera had been left home so there is no pictures to show the road we tried to drive. It was a serious 4 wheeling adventure! So, slowly back down the mountain we went....home again. At least we have fun driving together seeing as how we had plenty of drive time that weekend!

A blog..... i know, i know, its about time!

So, here is our blog ...finally. I had started this back in January. I created a username and password. I spent a while playing with colors. Mostly not realizing that you can change things when you want. While playing around I also realized that I can just delete if I decide a post was dumb. After playing with colors for a while I had to get to work. Time flies, and I forgot to log back on here. I have never published (or whatever they call making this visible to others) it because I had not written much. I decided I would just make it visible to other people then I will update it from time to time. I am not making any promises on how often. I know some weeks will just be better than others for time to write on here. With that said, we hope everything is going well for all our friends! I will write a bit to catch up with what has happened this year so far. Yes, I realize its April now so I will just include important stuff.
