First Ultrasound

So my doctor was thinking I was a little further along then we thought so I had an ultrasound to see how big this baby really was. They ended up moving my due date up to May 17th, which is fine with me I want that baby here safe and sound as soon as possible. The joys of pregnancy have already started to show. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and mega colon. I'm on a medication for the thyroid problem but the colon issue is never ending. I will most likely have to have surgery after the baby is born to have part of it removed. I figure that's why I didnt get morning sickness basically because the Lord knew I would be faced with all these other problems. Needless to say I love being pregnant and we find out what we are having on the 29th of December.

BIG NEWS

iWell for those of you who don't know and PS I have decided to skip what I've missed in my updates and just move forward! So here we are with our big news

Jason and I are going to have a little addition to our family!

As of today I am 10 weeks along. Holy cow seems like it takes so long I actually found out when I was 3 weeks so I know, I know its going to be a long pregnancy. However, we are so very excited! I just want to express my gratitude to my wonderful husband who even when I go a little crazy he is so patient with me. I know he will be such a wonderful dad. He is the sweetest, whenever one of us leaves he kisses me and then he kisses my belly tells us both that he loves us and then he is on his way. I just can't even wait. We will find out what we are having begining of January so stay tuned for that. Hopefully I will be better about blogging so we will see.

We are off to Hawaii on Sunday to get away from the cold and embark on the gorgeous sunshine. Wish us luck!!!

Life Goes On...........

Well we got back to Colorado and the next day Jas was put to work. And when I say work I mean work. The first 2 weeks, don't ask how, but he managed to work 212.5 hours. Needless to sayi rarely see my love muffin! This was the plan though to work work work. In the mean time I manged to get in 2 car accidents. One of which was not my fault and the 2nd was. However, the one that wasn't my fault the other guy involved is lying and saying that it was my fault. It has made my trust in people run a little thin. Still fighting it still going crazy and losing sleep over it.

Not all is bad! Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Lots of snow, unfortunately(this is what caused accident 1) Too bad its pretty! Here are some pictures

these are from the first snow

These next pictures were taken out of our bedroom window. It scared the crap out of me but luckily I was able to grab the camera and sneak up on them. The last one was pretty funny I was right up against the window trying not to move a muscle, my contacts were going dry due to the lack of blinking but this one got curious and stuck his head down to take a peak at me.

Second snow storm.....



This is a car...yeah you can't even see it at all! Ridiculous!
It snowed a foot and a half over 2 days. I couldn't even believe it.

I have been applying for a job for a little while and I started my new job today. I'm working at an Oyster Bar called Oscar's Tejon as a waitress. I'm excited to get out of the house and to contribute to the good of our house hold.

With all bad there is always good. I've learned a lot. Trials and tribulations are always a test to see how we will react. I'm really trying to be more positive and not fret about things that aren't going to ruin your life or kill you. I owe a lot of this change to Jason's mom Laurie. She is such an inspiration to be nice, kind, uplifting, and positive regardless of what happens. Because its true. Life does go on...

The Start of Our Adventure

We left Salt lake on the 29th and stopped to see Jason's mom and sister(and family) It was a nice visit just like it always is! On Monday we headed out for Colorado. Bye Bye Utah!We were able to spend time with my mom and Pete as well as meet his new girlfriend Hillary who appears to be nice enough. I wish we would have been able to spend a little more time with her to get to know her better. While we were in Colorado we talked to my dad about coming back after the wedding and working(as opposed to going to Georgia) Jason would be able to do some remodeling on the 6 Denny's my dad just bought. So it was settled and agreed that we would come back and Jason would be put to work. So Thursday we left Colorado.

It was a long 14 hour drive with nothing to see!

So we decided to entertain ourselves with some shadow puppets (I was trying to be a goose and Jas was a turkey)!
We finally made it to Missouri and it was too dark to get the welcome to Missouri sign, sad day, but we made it none the less. We go there at 1 am and then managed to stay up talking with our good friends Sam and Matt.

The days went by fast. There was wedding this and wedding that. Luckily Jason was saved by Ben Broadbent who was so nice and took him fishing and skeet shooting. I would have really felt bad if Jason were stuck with the girls twiddling his thumbs. It was so good to see Ben and Cammie and I swear sometimes I'm so good about pictures but other times I really suck! So next time we will have to get more photos! It was good to see all of my friend and for them to meet Jason at the wedding. This was the first time he has been back since before we got married. Here are some pics from the wedding. (And a special thanks to Jason's sister Danielle for making my dress for me!)

I was so glad we stayed an extra day to spend time with Valerie and go to dinner with her and Ashley. I am so blessed to have great friends.

And at the end of our trip I took this picture of the Missouri River. I miss the scenery in Missouri!

Change of Direction...

So Jas and I are off on another adventure. We have really been trying to get jobs and save money and ultimatly go back to school but in our current situation it has been near impossible. We decided to weigh our options and look for other possibilities that may help us get to this goal of ours. Our dear friends Jessica and Kaston moved to Texas last year, where Kaston worked for Apx installing security systems. They absolutly loved it and came back with a pretty big chunck of change. So we decided to talk to them about it. Seeing that we have nothing holding us back or down here in Salt Lake we decided to investigate this whole security thing. We talked with the company Pinnacle and decided to jump on board. Georgia came up and it also has an opening for the office manager position of which I have applied and hope to get. So we are supposed to be in Savannah on the 28th of April. But here is where it gets tricky. My best friend Valerie is getting married on the 4th and because we are driving and because it is 24 hour drive we really do not want to have to drive back to Utah to have to drive back through Missouri again so......we will be most likely staying in Missouri until we have to be in Georgia. I am so excited to be around my dear friends for that short time. We are trying to get some short well very short time work for ourselves while we are there so we can have some sort of income for the month. My dear friend Sam is going to let us stay with her and her husband for the few weeks so we are very excited for that. We are a little crazy and choose to move a lot but we are really just trying to find our calling in life. We are really hoping to come back and go to school and better our lives. Thanks to all of you who support us in our crazy lives!

New Years

I know I know I am a serious slacker but I'm really going to try and be better at all of this. Holidays are our big life happenings and so I'm grateful to them for giving me something to post on here. This New Years we were lucky enough to go down to Moab and spend some time with Jason's good friends from high school. We got to go to Brad and Kira's cabin. What an experience it was. It had snowed a massive amount at the cabin and we tried four-wheeling and we all failed. We tried in the truck and failed. We were forced to shovel our last 75 yards to the cabin in the cold and in the dark.

It was pretty when we got there but turned ugly pretty quickly

We were trying to have some fun with it

We were all shoveling fools and I think we shoveled for 2 hours well at least it felt like it.
The next day was a brand new day and we really wanted to make up for our night by having some fun.

Jason was bound and determined to build us a nice igloo.

Kira and I were going to go for a four wheeler ride
Then we decided to get more ambitious and make our own sled....

I managed to get the four wheeler really really stuck and the boys were no where to be found so Kira, Nicole and I had to dig ourselves out. Pretty funny.

It was a masterpiece I won't lie

Kira on our homemade sled

Trevor and Nicole brought some real sleds so we decided to give it a go. Here is Brad

The four wheeler didn't work to well in the deep snow so we decided to just to go down the road
