Update!

I feel like I should apologize every time I blog because my posts are so few and in between! So sorry....I have been bad at keeping up!

So many things have happened since last month!

Now that we let the cat out of the bag, I should probably up date you on what is going on!

So...here it goes :)

• We are 18 weeks pregnant! (wahoo!)
• We are having a little baby GIRL! (couldn't be more excited!! especially cause this mama likes to shop and can't wait to dress her all up!) Plus I have LOTS of sisters...so I am glad I am getting something familiar to me! :)
• I would post some pictures, but we are still waiting for her to make her appearance. So...pictures to come...
• We just had an appointment last week and got to see her and she is doing great!

I have learned a lot of things while being pregnant, some more personal, and others just simple learning experiences and am continuing to learn. The greatest thing I have learned though through different experiences is what a blessing all of Gods children are. Every single one! And I am surprised more and more every day how I could love something so little so very much! I would already do anything for her and pray for her continually (I already feel like an overprotective mom haha). I love that all of us have journeys that we go through and each one is tailored to our own life and the experiences that we need to have to progress.

It's amazing how well Heavenly Father knows us, and by trying to follow His will, we learn more about ourselves. Pretty amazing journey we all have to travel don't you think?

As for an update on the lives of us two crazy college students...here it goes...

JOEL-

Joel is one busy guy! He is currently in his senior year at Weber State, studying PR and advertising. He is minoring in Japanese! So hopefully that will help him with his career later on working for some business. He is very smart and doing awesome! I am so proud of him. So, on top of being a full time student, he is also doing TWO internships...yikes...(now you know what I mean by being busy) and working at his job. Luckily we still find a little bit of time to hang out :) thank goodness!

He also just recently got called to be in the Young Mens as the Teachers Quorum advisor. So now we get to go to mutual together! fun fun :)

He is also extremely excited to be a daddy but probably gets tired of me always saying, "Should we put up the crib today!? :) haha

As for me, I'm staying pretty busy myself. I am studying Family Studies at Weber with a minor in Criminal Justice (I know, interesting combo, but they surprisingly fit together quite well!). I am doing my internship at McKay Dee Hospital in the Pediatric unit as a Child Life Specialist intern. I love it! It is so fun to work with all the kids and their parents. I learn new things everyday and try to learn things quickly so I can be more helpful on the floor. I am also working at the University too in the Campus Rec

office. Also, I am in the YW's and absolutely love it!! I am with the beehives and think they are the coolest girls ever! They teach me new things every week. :)

So, that is what is going on with us in a nutshell!

Oh, also I want to give a shout out to my baby sister Tiff!! I got to go spend the weekend in Cache Valley with my family and we got to go to one of Tiffany's bowling tournaments. It was so FUN! And she did so good! She really is awesome and scores way higher than I ever could! She got 4th place and I was SO proud! :) You go girl :) LOVE you!

Also...one more shout out. This one is to Brittny. She is one of the most amazing people I know. Sunday she spoke in church and did such an amazing job. And I am not just saying that because she is my sister! Really, it was outstanding and everyone was touched and learned so much. She is going to be serving a mission pretty soon and I just don't think I am ready for her to leave! She leaves on the 23rd of February and I keep praying it will never come. Don't get me wrong, I am SO excited for her and she will be the best missionary the Netherlands and Belgium has EVER seen! I am just going to miss her....a LOT. But she truly will be amazing and I know that the Lord needs her out there spreading the gospel. I can't wait to hear all of her awesome experiences and stories (she always has the best stories to tell!) I love you Britters and will miss you everyday!
