So the last month of summer was super busy for us! Jared was done with school on the 11th of August and got a 2 week break! and ended up with an A in O chem 2 what a smarty pants! we headed to Boise for some boating the weekend then San diego with my my brother and his wife and their cute little 2 year old for about a week and had so much fun! We walked around LA and visited the Santa Monica pier and spent a lot of time at the beach. It was so nice to get away and relax.. We headed home and spent three days here being lazy and then took off to rexburg for a couple days. It has been a year since Jared's mom passed away and so it was nice to be with his family for the weekend. Time flies its still hard to believe she has been gone for a whole year. She is truly missed. So our 2 weeks were totally filled with go go go but it was a lot of fun..


The baby is still getting bigger and bigger which means this belly just keeps growing and growing!
We are now going on week 27 yayy! Its crazy to think we only have 13 weeks to go! A little scary i have moments where i freak out cause we're going to be PARENTS but most of the time i am very excited :) Jared is thrilled and cant wait to meet him its so cute when he talks about things he is going to do with him and things he is going to teach him! He kicks ALL the time and if anything is sitting on my belly he kicks it he doesn't like things touching him he likes his space just like his daddy! haha

The first day of school was today and i was a little nervous cause getting this big makes it really hard to sit for a long time but it wasnt too bad! my teachers are going to work with me if this baby decides to be stubborn and come late. Lets all hope he is one time! I am so excited that this is my last full time semester! how exciting :) Jared was supposed to graduate in December but he met with his Law advisor and she wants him to take 3 more classes of chemistry so he can do patent law because he has a science degree. He is kind of bummed he has to un-apply for graduation a little depressing lol but it will all be worth it in the end.

I have been awful at taking pictures and i know i am going to regret it but i will try to get some up this week!

Ok up by popular demand heres our little man at 20 weeks.. :) Its been quite the adjustment having a belly.. haha. I thought it would be a lot harder to get bigger but it really hasnt been that too bad. I feel him kick all the time and it is so fun! Jared felt him the other night and he thought it was a little weird but very cool. lol Looking at cute baby stuff if so fun! I love shopping for him.. we found the bedding we are going to do and have already bought clothes.. His room is currently the office so we are having to move that stuff out which has been a process.. Jared is gone all day long and there is not much i can do when it comes to moving the furniture so its gonna have to be a weekend job.. I didnt realize how being pregnant would affect the both pf us so much! i have to think about bringing snacks ALL the time. Jared has been so good about everything i really am so lucky. I do miss being tan in the summer that has been hard! i love laying in the sun but its all worth it :) Jareds sister is also pregnant and we are 4 DAYS apart! This is there first one too and the first 2 grandkids in jareds family so it is going to be a crazzy time! They just found out they are having a girl so it will be so fun to have both a boy and a girl! We are so blessed and just love our growing families.. My mom is coming out for the whole month of December which i am so excited about..it will be such a comfort to have her there cause i will have no idea what im doing!

4 Months to go :)

Exciting news! long post but i promise its worth it!

We're having a baby! yes its true and finally happening.. we have alot of funny stories about this whole baby thing we wanted to wait till i got out of the first trimester to tell everyone so we did and at about 14 weeks we told all of our close family and friends! About a week later i started getting really bad abdominal pains with throwing up and everything else not fun. Which i have been having for about 6 months and have had so many tests run and nothing has ever come up! it was quite annoying. Well this week it got bad it started wed night and by thursday i was in the ER to figure out what it is. Of course they run tests on my gallbladder and nothing so they sent me home with some pain meds. Well being pregnant i was getting nervous. The next day i woke up with a fever and worse pain went to my OB and he said the baby was fine but he sent me to the ER cause he thought it was my appendix.

*** Mind you while all this was going on i had finals and Jared and a HUGE OChem test to take not a ideal week for all this to happen.

So my dear friend Jenny came with me to the ER to see what was going on so Jared didnt have to leave school for no reason. Go into the ultrasound for my appendix and sure enough right away he told me i had a appendisitis--> no idea how to spell that... while in there he checked on the baby and said i was actually almost 16 weeks and he could tell what we were having and asked if i wanted to know. well jared wasnt there but i couldnt resist YES! and he said see that right there its a BOY!! I was so excited wasnt even thinking about the pain. I called jared right away and told him i would be going into surgery and that i knew what we were having. He was ok not being there because the circumstance and is very excited he has wanted a boy since day 1. He arrived and jenny's husband Rob arrived to give me a blessing. I was so worried going into surgery being pregnant but all the doctors assured us it was ok. I spent 2 days in the hospital because they scraped me uterus while in surgery and wanted to make sure nothing happened. They checked on the baby every 2 hours and he was always doing just fine. I am now home and jared is taking amazing care of me i cant walk much but im sure the baby needs time to just chill after all we have been through. So there you have it were having a baby and its a boy what a great post! we are so excited and im ready to be done recovering from this surgery. thanks to all our friends and family that have been there we love you guys!

UPDATE:

I was doing so good at this whole blogging thing then finals happened it all

went down hill..

So our semester is over! but dont you worry a new one has started for me ohh the joys of taking summer classes. Jared has a week off before his semester starts is this fair?

NO! :)

He only has 4 classes till he is done! how exciting then we have a couple options not sure which one we're gonna take yet.. Job or grad school? we'll see!

He has recovered very well from his surgery and is ready to knock out theses classes. Summer is Organic Chem for him which is the hardest class of his college career so summer might be a little stressful in our household but he is always so good about coming home in a good mood :)

As for me I am supposed to graduate in December but because of one class will not be until April but hey thats ok we'll be in Utah so one class wont kill me! YAYY for us almost being done!

other than school running our lives nothing exciting has happened.

NBA finals are about to be the death of me.. That is ALL Jared watches

No exaggeration.

You know what sucks as soon as this is over guess what we watch

Baseball.

I swear it never ends.. I told Jared you know we watch sports too much when i know all the names of players. Awh well at least its not something really dumb. Ill survive some how :)

well there is an update to out little life.

We are still happier than ever and i seem to love Jared more and more everyday even if he is trying to kill me with sports.

So Jared and I have this new obsession with snowboarding we go once a week and its been great A couple times ago my brother came with us and it was lots of fun.

It is something that Jared and I can do together and we just love it! Wherever we end up after we graduate the amazing mountains we have here will truly be missed.

We were talking last night about how good Utah has been to us and i thought i would

never say this but i'm really going to miss Utah. I absolutely love it out here.

The winter and summer sports are so amazing and you cant get that anywhere else.

I'm starting to panic a little bit about moving. Though its at least a year away, a year goes by

so quick! I really hate the unknown sometimes but then again its also so exciting!

MONO-SKI!!

Wonderful news! Jared FINALLY got his monoski put together! How exciting it has been a 2 year process trying to get all the right pieces after making a million phone calls and a billion emails we finally got in contact with who we needed and got them all. He gets to try it out on tuesday! I got new boots for my snowboard too. I love going its something we can do together and im pretty sure ill get to watch Jared because ill be falling on my butt as he flies down the hill so we'll see!!

Valentines this year was pretty low key because it was a school night who would have thought we would still be following the "not staying out late on a school night" rule after your on your own and married! but anyways we went and got yummy thai food and of course Jared went over and beyond. He got me the hunger games book series which i have been wanting to read forever! i was totally surprised because i didnt even mention him getting those for me! He knows me too well :) and for him he wanted dumb supplements to work out with so thats what he got. totally boring right. His birthday present last year was the same thing but hey they are expensive so i guess a holiday is the best way to get them!

Before our date! i love going on dates with him

My Beautiful flowers from Jared and his dad! i am one lucky girl. I have the best husband a great father, great brothers, great fathin in law and a great brother inlaw. The men in my life are the best i am truly blessed :)

..GO PACKERS..

As most of you know i have quite the packer fan as a husband. He gets nervous and so into the game. its quite cute ;) but this year they made it to the SUPER BOWL so as you can imagine he was more than excited. We went to Jareds Aunts house in toelle with his brother Alex and his sister Brittney and her husband Phil. Jareds cousin chase was there too. We had a great time! Ate wayy to much food and had fun catching up with everyone. AND the PACKERS WON! yayy maybe next year my Redskins will win it! ;) just maybe.

So its not mothers day obviously but i saw this and thought it was so funny because who out there doesnt think their mom is super women cause i for one totally think mine is. She is the best person ever. i love her. i talk to her at least twice a day (not even kidding) AND we never having to not talk about. I cant wait to live by her one day hopefully to learn all her tricks :) i miss her a lot but ill see you in less than 2 months thanks Drew and Lisa for getting married so i can see my momma! :) Love you mom!

HAPPINESS

So i have been thinking a lot about everything that has been going on in our life lately and how its not easy things we're dealing with but we have never been happier. I love our life together. I know its because we have god, eachother and tons of faith. I am totally content and happy with where we are right now. Finshing our education it is SO important and im excited to be getting to the end. I have been taking a moral theory class and it talks all about you are the only one that decides how you want to live your life not your past, not your present and not your future. I 100% believe that, are people gonna have bad luck yes! are things going to go wrong? yes! are bad things going to happpen that are not fair? Yes but it is how YOU control the situation that will end in happiness. you are only as happy as you want to be. I choose to be HAPPY.. and thats how we're gonna stay. :)

Sorry about the Novel.... i have been awful at updating.

So it is a Saturday and Jared is at school studying and taking a test so i'm home all alone so i figured it would be a good idea to update the blog. We have been some busy people so busy that we havent even had time to take pictures! Im awful at that. We have a couple from the holiday break but most of them are on Facebook too. Anyways here we go the holiday break was great we went a cruise to the Bahamas and it was so fun! we got to eat we wanted, lay out in the nice hot sun and play in the gorgeous water, however the water was FULL of sand! our bathing suits got filled with them not just a little i bet me gained 5 pounds of sand after we left the beach but it was still so fun! We got home on Christmas Eve and had a great time. The smiths are the best in laws ever. My family has a tradition of matching on a lot of holidays and they think that is rather weird. Poor Jared had no idea was he was getting himself into. well Christmas eve came and we opened presents of matching pajamas! i started crying lol they are really the best :) here is evidence that Kevin matched all of us! ;) well we spent the break in Boise went snowboarding and just hung out as a family it was very relaxing. Then we had to come back to school. Boo. But i can honestly say i LOVE my classes this semester. I am learning so much and love it. Jared's O chem class started a summer course so he'll have a rough summer semester coming up but then he'll be done in December! yayy go Jared. We'll stick around here till i finish in April then who knows where we'll end up. its exciting though i love change..Being a military brat i guess you get used to it. Jared finally got his Ski so we're going snowboarding next weekend and i'm really excited about it i love going I'm not that good yet but we're working on it.Probably never master a flip or anything but going down the hill without falling would be nice. Can you beleive our 2 year anniversary is it 2 months! time has gone by so fast. Some days i feel like we have been together forever and other days it feels like just yesterday! We are just loving being together and working hard to finish school. there are a lot of decisions we will be making soon some are exciting and some are scary but we are so excited to see what life will bring. I told Jared as long as i with you i dont care where we end up. I am so lucky to have him as my husband he keeps me unstressed and makes me laugh all the time he makes light of bad situations and always put me first. He's the best! Love you Jared :)
