Baby Gender Announcement Pictures.

 We decided, well...I decided, that we should take cute pictures to announce the gender of our little baby. These two are probably my favorite. :) 

Girl OR Boy?!

Here are some others I liked as well....

It's A Girl!!!!

Today we found out the gender of our baby!, along with a couple other surprising facts. First and most important....its a girl! As you can see in the bottom photo there is an arrow pointing to the genitalia and in the upper right hand corner it says "girl parts" haha. I thought it was funny that they didn't use more professional language but I guess everyone will understand that. :) In the top photo we got a good profile view of our little girl sucking on her thumb. So neat! The surprising facts we learned of today was that one, my due date isn't Dec 10 its Dec 2 and the other is that I am only 18 weeks along. I don't know how all that got mixed up but oh well! We know now. :)

Happy Father's Day!

Hello Everyone!

It has been a while since we updated our blog, but we have had some exciting changes this semester. Kitrick was pretty torn about what he needed to do with work this semester because his school schedule is pretty heavy and he can get his tuition completely paid for the next year if he gets good grades again this semester. We prayed about it and decided that it was more worth it for him to quit his job and focus on grades, and that gives us a lot more time together! It's been nice to have more time for each other, but I start 12-hour clinicals for nursing every Saturday from now until the end of the semester, so we're going to have to make sure to still spend quality time together whenever we can. Other than that we are just studying our little brains out!

In other news, we finally developed the pictures from the waterproof camera that we had in Mexico! We went snorkeling and took a bunch of different pictures. Pretty exciting stuff!

Our First Semester as a Married Couple is Already Over!

Wow, we can't even believe it has been almost 4 months since we tied the knot! This semester was definitely a time of growth and hard work. We are so ready for a break from our demanding schedules and to be able to just have a lot of FUN! :) Kitrick has one more grade pending and we anxiously wait to see if he was able to pull off another 4.0 this semester. Next semester he has an even heavier load, not only in school but at his work as well. He is finally done with all of his foundation classes and is jumping head first into all of his accounting and econ classes. My load next semester is also going to be 3 times as busy as it was this semester. I am taking my nursing classes, pathophysiology, and a religion class with Kitrick. Our religion class will probably be one of the only times we see each other in the day except for when we go to bed at night. I have also gotten a job but my job starts when he gets off work. :(  It is so difficult to find a job here in Rexburg I sometimes wonder how people survive, especially since everything is expensive and hardly anyone gets paid more than 7.25/ hr. We are very fortunate though because we both found jobs that pay a little more than that. He will still be working 1:00-5:00 Monday- Friday and I will be working 5:00-7:00 Monday- Friday. I am excited for my new job! I was blessed to find a job that is related to my field of study. I am working as a home care giver and I will take care of this elderly gentleman by cooking his dinner, cleaning up after, and doing his physical and occupational therapy with him.  I start my 12-14 hour clinicals next semester (which I am not looking forward to). One good thing is that the clinicals are here in Rexburg and I don't have to drive all the way to Idaho Falls every Saturday. Its another mild winter here in Rexburg so far. We have only really had one good snow fall and then it all melted. I don't mind at all because winter is definitely not my favorite season and if the snow doesn't come I don't mind a bit! :) 

For my Birthday....

About to open my presents from my honey!

YUM! my favorite candy :)

YES! make up :)

My princess robe

Today I asked Kitrick how much he loves me. His respons, "More than you know, but less than tomorrow." thought it was pretty clever of him and very cute :)

Yep, that's me blowing out my match on my birthday cake :)

So, today was my birthday and I am not even going to tell you how old I am now. It was a great day! One of Kitrick's presents to me was his time. He took off work today so we could spend the day together :) Best. Present. Ever! I went to all his classes with him this morning and did my homework in them. Then, we came home, ate lunch, and went on a hike up R mountain. Didn't realize how out of shape I am! Shortest, hardest hike ever! But, it felt good to get outdoors and get some exercise together. After the hike we got a couple things to make dinner and cake. We came home and Kitrick presented his presents to me. I loved them! He got me my favorite candy, make up ;) AND a princess bathrobe that is really soft and cuddly. Then we started dinner and made a red velvet cake with chocolate chips in it with chocolate fudge frosting! His sister came over and surprised me with more gifts! Then Josie came too and brought a lovely gift. We all ate cake together and swapped awesome stories. Then dinner finally was ready. I know I know, we totally ate dessert before we ate dinner but it's my birthday so I justified it :) For dinner Kitrick made me home made sweet bread and I made steak, mashed potatoes and gravy. DELIGHTFUL! Here are some pictures from today.

The sun was REALLY bright

Epic picture of Kitrick

I loved spending the day with my amazing husband! He is so good to me and I am so grateful to have him in my life forever!
