Also, pregnancy update. The dr has moved my due date to March 13th! I am now 22 weeks and 3 days (before I was only 21 weeks and 6 days). It doesn't look like that much of a difference but for some reason it really has me freaked out! I was hoping to go past my due date, not sooner! There just seems like so much to do before then!!!

This Has Been The WORST week ever!!

Sorry everyone, but this is going to be a complaint post. It just needs to happen. I have been sooooo sick this week and it's kicking my butt! I started out with the stomach flu and now it's ending with the worst heartburn of my entire life! I have only been able to eat (and keep down) a few things this week and am mainly trying to survive on tums and water/gatoraid/sprite. I haven't been getting much sleep and I have been losing so much weight too. I hope things get better soon. This is miserable.

It's A.....

So, It's a BOY... probably!! The doctor is pretty sure but didn't feel comfortable giving us a positive yes. We are way excited!!

14 Weeks Today

So, I am 14 weeks. I think this picture makes me look larger than I really am. I NEVER look this big at work and people are always telling me they can't even tell I'm pregnant. Big dinner maybe?

Worried :-(

So, I am 14 weeks... and worried. I don't have morning sickness anymore. I'm not gaining weight. I don't feel like my tummy is growing. And I can't feel the baby yet. I am wondering if the baby is still in there??? And is it happy? Anyone else ever have these feelings?

13 Weeks!

Here is Baby Phister at 13 weeks! I think this picture is amazing! The baby has grown so much in the past 4 weeks. I can't wait to see it next time. And hopefully by then we will know if it's a boy or girl!

Our great "buy"

So, I'm back after a short little break from blogging. I missed a post for July so I thought I better get one in before August is through.
Things have been crazy around here lately. Many of you may already know this, but Daniel and I are having a baby! I am 11 weeks now and due on St Patrick's Day!! I keep thinking that if it really is born that day I want to name it something Irish but so far I am not coming up with any cute names. Any suggestions? And DON'T say Patrick! We are not naming our child Patrick (no offense to those people out there with that name.. it's just not for me.. or my child). So anyway, we're having a baby! Yay!
This picture below is of out very first "purchase" for the baby. We were out on Saturday morning and I saw this highchair as we were driving past a garage sale. We decided to stop just to check it out. We asked the owner how much and she said "Oh, you can just have it for free. I have 8 kids, my youngest is 3. I am just glad not to have to use a highchair anymore!!!" She really did sound relieved to give it away. It was filthy though! After abot 2 hours of cleaning, it came out all shiny and new!

I'll will say this though. It is really weird to have "baby stuff" in our apartment! But very exciting! I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl!

I Got A Calling!!

Finally, after 2 1/2 months in our new ward, I got a calling. I know that doesn't seem like that long to wait, but it was for me. I am now the Valiant 8-9 Boys teacher in the Primary. My first lesson will be on Sunday and I am so excited!! The boys in my class are so cute! Daniel said last week (my first day in primary) I was "vomiting happiness" and that I need to tone it down a bit, but I don't care. I am so excited to finally have a calling!!!!

Has it REALLY been a year already???

WOW!!! This year has gone by fast... and slow at the same time! Marriage is definitely awesome though. I highly recommend it!

Anyway, I guess I will reflect on some of the things we have done this year... lets see. We did lots of Civil War Reenacting, some disc golf, lots of dates :-), moved to Farmington, changed wards, we have gone through like 3 different callings (I am still calling-less in my new ward), we have had exciting news that we were going to have a baby... and then some not so happy news that I had a miscarriage.....

And NOW, for our 1 year anniversary, WE ARE GOING ON A CRUISE!! We leave on MONDAY!!! I am writing this a little early, but after Friday I wont have access to the Internet for about 10 days.

Happy Anniversary to US!

The Delete Button Is My Friend

So, I have written like 4 posts in the past 2 weeks and have deleted them all. I can't come up with anything to say that means anything. Everything seems so trivial... So, someone give me a topic to talk about. Anyone??? We can make it a game if you want...

.....

I wish I had a pensive like Professor Dumbledore sometimes so I could just take things out of my brain that I don't want to think about and put them into a storage container (stone basin in Dumbledore's case).

P.S. I really don't like Best Buy right now. Grrr!

P.P.S. OR trying to level a washer so it doesn't SHAKE all over!

The End!... life can go on now.

We Moved!

We moved to Farmington! I am so happy with our new place! It has 2 bedrooms and tons of closet storage!! We have almost found a place for everything and it is so nice to have an extra bedroom to store the big stuff in! Our neighbors are really nice! Our ward is nice and quiet! We have a dishwasher!! AND.... we bought our first washer and dryer this weekend!!! NO MORE COIN-OP LAUNDRY!!!! I am so happy!! Now all we need to do is clean our old apartment and we will be done with it for good!

Re-evaluation of my New Year's Resolutions

So, it's been just over a month since the new year started and I have only kept 2 of my MANY New Year's Resolutions (see previous post). The only 2 I have kept is to take more pictures in 2010 and to ONLY drink caffeine on Fridays. I decided that I need to set some more goals, or retry some of my resolutions. The 90 Day Challenge (see previous post) will help me to keep one of my goals, and I also REALLY want to find a way to keep my house cleaner. Any suggestions??? Because that one is a killer. My friend Melanie posted on her blog that she stresses more about cleaning that she actually cleans. I realized that I am the exact same way! I need to figure out a way to get motivated and STAY motivated!!! Really though, does anyone have any suggestions to help me keep my goals??? Let me know!

The 90 Day Challenge

Last night as I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep I came up with what I call "The 90 Day Challenge." It's pretty simple. I am going to read the Book of Mormon in 90 days. My deadline is May 8th. I just decided that I could use a big spiritual boost right now and I couldn't think of a better way. And, it actually sounds like a reasonable challenge too; only 6 pages per day. Anyone want to join me???

Pro Wrestling and the WSU Wrestling Club

On Saturday at Weber State University, the NWA (a professional wrestling team out of SLC) came face to face with two of WSU's wrestling club, one of them being my husband! He even made the front page of Weber State's newspaper, the Signpost!

It was quite an event! For those of you who don't know what pro wrestling is, just think of Hulk Hogan, fake blood, and smashing chairs on each other. That just about sums it up. Daniel had a lot of fun and so did every one else!

Ward Talent Show

Our ward had a talent show back in January! I was asked to be in a quartet singing "Swinging on a Star." That is a very fun song and we all had a great time getting to know each other during practices!

Being asked to sing in the talent show made me also step out of my shell and do a solo performance. I haven't done a solo in the past few years because..... I'm a chicken. But I finally gave in and did it! And it felt great! I sang "The Prima Donna Song." All the little girls were standing on their chairs trying to get a better look at the "girl in the princess dress." They still call me that on Sundays too. It's adorable!

Friends Reunite!

A few weeks ago I went to dinner with my best friends from high school! It was so fun to catch up! I can't believe it's almost been 5 years since graduation! I love you guys!!!

Out With The Old....

Last Saturday we were able to get rid of our old, mismatched bedroom furniture! Before we were using old furniture that we have had for YEARS.

The improvement is HUGE! From this:

To this:

We have Adam and Stephanie to thank for this! They got some new furniture and just GAVE us theirs. Thanks guys!!!

We're Going On A Cruise!

I have been wanting to go on a cruise for a long long time but never really had a REAL reason to. Our ONE YEAR anniversary is coming up in a few months so Daniel and I have been looking at cruises (since October or November). Daniel's parents are going on a cruise for their anniversary and I think it finally got me moving. We decided that if we REALLY were going to go, we needed to book our cruise TODAY!! So we did! We will be going on a 4 night Mexican Riviera cruise and I am soooo excited! I really want to see a whale. There is only going to be 2 stops on the cruise, but that didn't matter to us because from what I have read, there is a TON of fun stuff to do on the boat. We got a really good deal! I am super super excited. Now... we just need to find out how we are getting to California... hehe.

More posts to come... as soon as I find my cable to upload my pictures!
