2 Year Anniversary!!!

On Monday we celebrated two years of being married! I really can't believe it's been two whole years...I feel like the time has gone by so quickly...but at the same time it was just yesterday we were in the temple for the first time together.  We have been reminiscing about all the adventures we have experienced in the past two years....

we've moved 7 times, lived in 3 different states, worked 6 different jobs, bought 1 new car, driven through 5 different states and along the Mexican Coast, visited 12 different temples, took a combined 194 more college credits, welcomed 1 new dog into the family, and started buying supplies for 1 new baby!!

What a crazy two years it has been....but we couldn't me more happy with life and the things we are experiencing...because we are doing them together!! I'm married to my best friend and I love him SO much! I look forward to many more wonderful years together...and the adventures they will bring!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SHELDON!

Spring 2012

So far this has been the best semester EVER!!! Granted it has only been two full weeks...but still I couldn't have asked for a better time to have a very relaxed school load!  Right now I have 4 credit hours...which equals 2 classes! I have class on Tuesday's and Thursday's and the rest of the week I have plenty of time to do homework.....work....shop for baby accessories....look for apartments in Ohio....and rest! 

I've never had a school schedule that allowed me to spend so much time on homework...I feel like I can really get into the material and learn it because I don't feel pressed for time!  There really are some times that I get a little bored...but I'm am not complaining!! The next few months are going to start getting crazy...so...I don't feel bad not having a lot to do right now.  

I'm loving Sheldon's schedule too...he has 6 credits, 2 classes...more homework than me and he is tutoring...but we get to eat lunch together everyday and our goal is to be done with homework at 5:00 each evening. (We've been able to keep that goal so far!)

 I feel pretty lucky!  

What a good last semester!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

I can't believe it is already April! The internship went by SO quickly.  I was really sad to leave Sandy, I feel like I was just getting used to it and finding my little groove in life..and now we are headed out again! Sheldon got really busy the last few weeks of the internship...so I went with my family on Spring Break to Moab! I was hard to leave Sheldon for a few days...but it was nice to not be alone and enjoy some time with my family!

We had so much fun and I was quite proud of myself for going on most of the hikes! In two days I hiked nearly 10 miles!! (I'm glad I've kept up walking during this pregnancy or I wouldn't have made it!)  I made sure to take it really easy, drink lots of water, and not get too hot! I was really grateful my best friend Michelle was there! She was so good to stay back with me! We had so much fun remenicing and catching up!

When I got back from Moab it was time to really crack down and get everything packed, cleaned, and loaded up!  My mom and sister are AMAZING and helped me get everything done! I really don't know what I would have done without them.  Saturday we borrowed my uncle Mikes trailer and packed our belongings up to be moved for the 7th time in almost 2 years......I think we are pretty much pros at moving!

Sunday evenining we made the long trek back to Rexburg, Idaho! I can't express how grateful I am for my wonderful family.  They really have done so much for us...(I'm getting teary so I better stop there...I'm blaming it on being pregnant!) but they really are so amazing and I love them SO much.  I'm also grateful for Sheldons wonderful family! Really I don't know what we would do without their love and support!!

And so here I am...sitting on campus...again...going to school, working and hoping the next three months go by fast....but not too fast!

Sandy!

It's official...we moved to Sandy, Utah! (well only for three months!) But I'm so excited to be in Utah for a few months!  Sheldon is amazing and got an internship this winter with an accounting firm in Salt Lake City.  It's weird to think that a year ago we were in California doing the same thing...and I was freaking out! This time seems much easier.  We have a cute little apartment that we love...it's amazing the difference you feel after living in an apartment that is 30 years old...had cottage cheese ceilings...dark brown framing...and lights and fans that came from the 60's to something that is only 5 years old!

We love it here! I also Love it because Super Walmart is literally 100 steps away! At first I was skeptical, I though it would be noisy all the time....and annoying to have all the traffic....but really ITS AMAZING!  If we want to get a red box...it takes 2 minutes....if I'm missing a key ingredient...it takes 2 minutes! I don't have to get into the car and drive around the corner...I just walk through the fence and the front entrance is right there!   I know it sounds weird...I really do hate Walmart...but they are so convenient...and after being deprived for so long with the so called Walmart in Rexburg....this one is AMAZING!

Okay enough about Walmart....Anyways Sheldon isn't too crazy busy with work yet so we've been able to do a lot of fun things like....

Go to a Jazz game! It was a really fun date night and Sheldon was able to find seats for $15!!

Sheldon's favorite part of the game is going an hour early so he can watch everyone warm up!  I won't admit to it...but it is pretty fun!

This is the view from our seats...yup...4th row from the very very very top!...but really they weren't bad and the people we sat around were really fun.  So the Jazz game was a success and I think we will go again!

We also went to....

Brian Regan!! The worlds funnies comedian!! He is my all time favorite and Sheldon surprised me with tickets for Christmas! We ended up having amazing seats...and we didn't stop laughing for 2 hours! By the end my voice hurt, my face hurt and my head hurt...but it was well worth it! Listening to Brian Regan is funny...but watching him in person is hilarious!

So it's been an amazing adventure for us so far... and we are loving it!

Oh and one more thing....

We are 13 weeks pregnant!!! Second Trimester here we come!!
