Update

My dad is better, we don't know what really happened though but he's still alive and has seen doctors. Thanks for your support!

Tragedy

I just got a phone call from my father saying that he might have had a heart attack or stroke or something like that... I don't know what is going on exactly and he won't call anyone for help. He's had lots of health problems and needs help from those around him but won't take it. I am very scared... I don't know what to do from here in Cedar other than to pray and hope that everything will be alright. Earlier this week, Brent Christensen, or Skye's father passed away from a stroke. That hit me very hard because I respected and loved that man quite a bit as I came to find out. I just plead that all of you will keep my dad in your prayers, along with the Christensen family. I think the neighborhood has seen too much sadness recently and doesn't need to have another death.

First Day of School!

Yay for the first day of school! It was pouring as I was driving to school this morning and I thought to myself, what a way to start out the year! I hope I can make it through this semester, I'm sure I will! I'm excited for my classes and to be just one more semester closer to getting my degree... woot woot woot! I'm glad that I finally have something to do now, like papers and homework, isn't it great?!

Woo hoo!

So my boss came up to me and asked if I wanted to be a supervisor this up and coming year. I was so stinking excited! That means, pay raise!!!!! And since Todd just got a $3 raise.. that's right $3 we're going to be doing a lot better than we have in the last little while. Which means we can save up for our wonderful little package coming in February. Life is great! :)

My baby!

Well ok. so I finally just scanned all of my ultrasound pictures in... they aren't the best quality on here but here they are! Yay for my baby! Everything is going well and it's growing just as it should.... it's healthy and things are just fine... but isn't it cute?! The top pictures are from when I was only 9 weeks along so are the colored pictures.. the last two ultrasounds are from today August 13 and I'm about 12.5 weeks along... so that's how much it's grown.. woot!

Hurray For Doctors!

I just love my doctor! So basically, Wednesday I had a VERY rough day... They told me that if i couldn't keep anything down for 24 hours that I needed to go see them immediately... well that's basically what happened. I called him Thursday morning and they brought me in and checked on me. Not to mention that I was about to hurl all over the nurse, which I contained for the time being, but they checked me for dehydration and all that fun stuff. Then they prescribed me this awesome drug called fenergen or something like that. Basically it's just a cream that you put on your wrists and it goes right into your blood stream so you aren't as nauseous. Then they sent me to an infusion lab where I got to sit for two hours while they put two of those bags of fluid inside of me... yes like the one in the picture.. that's a lot of fluid! In two hours... basically I didn't know it was going to take that long, so I got to sit there, bored for two hours! But, then I realized how cool it is that they put me right up front as a priority to make sure that everything is fine with me and the baby. Everything is fine now and I can eat again! Yay for food! You guys really shouldn't take it for granted... there are things that I so wish I could eat... seriously! But yes, now I'm 12 weeks and almost full fledged into my 2nd trimester which is CRAZY! Just thought I would let you all know what is going on with me.. now that I'm out of vacation land... unfortunately!

San Diego Temple

Ok this place is AWESOME! It is such a beautiful temple. In the center of the temple is this atrium where you're inside and there are glass walls and inside of the glass walls is this BEAUTIFUL garden. I just wanted to go between the glass and smell them. I'm sure they were wonderful. But it looks right out of the temple. basically the square part right in the middle of the two steeples is where it sits, if you ever get to go, go there! Plus, the seats in the session are very comfortable!
This was right after we did a session there.
Todd was very happy!
I was basically excited that we got to serve there!

LA Temple

We like the LA Temple!
We went to the LA Temple on my Birthday and our Anniversary... it was awesome! The session we went through was the Spanish session. It was so cool because the rooms were HUGE and it was so cool to see hundreds of Latino people in Our Heavenly Father's temple speaking Spanish. It was a testimony to me that our Heavenly Father loves all of us and he blesses us and no matter where you go in this world, the Church is still true as it is here and it is definitely for anyone, no one can say, oh it's just not for me. Because.. well basically, it is!
The coolest tree ever! We couldn't find anyone to take a picture for us so we just have separate pictures of us on this tree on the LA temple grounds.

Our Trip! Cont....

Right after the play... which was AMAZING! Holy Crap it was awesome! I have to admit... I was crying. I'm not sure if it was because I was so excited or because it was so good, basically we loved it... even Todd!
If you look really close you can see the stage.. These were our seats. Right after we took this picture the picture nazi usher yelled at us.. it was kind of funny.... but we were excited!
We took this picture right out of the Theater.. at this point I was hyper ventilating!
This is us at the very edge of the pier... we were very happy because in just four hours we were going to see Wicked! woot!

We went on the ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier... it was fun! We needed to relax after such a long drive and what not...it was so beautiful there.. but very expensive.. but still beautiful!

Thanks Katelyn... Our M&Ms!

We basically Rock!

Anniversary!

OK since our first anniversary is on Saturday we're now in San Diego and LA on our wonderful trip. We'll be here until tuesday and then after that, I"ll update you on our lives! I'm sure you'll understand...
