My First Prego Pic

My little Baby is at 4 months in my belly today!
Here is my first picture~

A little one on the way

Once again, its been like forever since I was last on here. But I have good news to post that might make the wait worth it! I'm having a wee baby! :) Right now I'm in 12th week and I go in for my first Ultra Sound in three days! How exciting! Its been a whirlwind so far. I have been suffering the symptoms of early pregnancy; morning sickness (more like ALL DAY sickness), major heartburn, dizziness, high sense of smell, head aches, moodiness, EXTREMELY exhausted, yada yada. But I know in the end all the pain and suffering will have been worth it!
To add to the caos- we are in the process of moving out of our cute little apartment which has been our home for the past two years :( But its time to move on to a new chapter in our lives. Aaron is leaving after finals next month and will be in Pittsburg until I fly out there to meet him in mid May. I will be out there with him until about a month before our due date when I will fly back home to Utah and hang out until its time to welcome our little one. Aaron will fly here to be there as well for the big day :) Then I will be so sad to say goodbye to Aaron again because he has to go to Chicago for his 3 month internship. It will be so hard to be apart for those three months but its a small sacrifice for our future.
So there ya have it! Ill try to keep things up to date on the pregnancy and all that. :) See ya!

Life as I know it...

Well, as usual it was been a while since I was last on this thing. It has been eventful the past couple of months. In November Aaron a I went on a fabulous cruise over Thanksgiving to the Caribbean! It was my first time in the Caribbean! We had a room with a Balcony and all the ice cream we could ever want! It was awesome! We had four stops; the first one was at a tiny private island owned by the cruise line- Princess Cays, the second was Saint Marteen- we were on the Dutch side, the third was Saint Thomas, and the fourth and last and my FAVORITE was Turks and Caicos!!! All of the stops were beautiful but I think that our last stop was the best. The water was crystal clear and it wasn't as crowded as the other stops. Anyway, Ill probably post some of those pics one of these days.
December was crazy as usual! Christmas time is my favorite time of year but I always feel like it goes by so darn fast! I get all hyped and then all of the sudden Christmas has come and gone. It doesn't help that our families (mine and Aaron's) live 2 minutes apart from each other. If there isn't something going on at one house there is at the other- we literally wore our selves out going back and fourth. But nonetheless I still love it! Im the type of person who just loves the family gatherings and parties!!! I love it all!!! Aaron and I were extremely blessed this year with everything that has gone on. Aaron just started his Winter semester at BYU and I recently finished my makeup course and am now a certified makeup artist!!! Yay! Now Im just looking for a job and Aaron is set on going out again this summer to sell.
Oh, I also recently found out that I have Celiacs disease- so my diet has completely changed! But its probably good for me. I now have to eat much healthier- no more pillsburry cookies :( but I did find a really good Gluten Free chocolate chip cookie recipe that I have made a few times already. I took them to some parties and family gatherings and they were gobbled up so quick- no one could tell the difference. As long as I have cookies I can eat I am Bueno!
My brother Ward and his wife Amber found out that they are expecting a baby! So happy for them! And to top it off they are going through the temple to be sealed later this month!!! I havent seen them since the end of this last summer so it will be fun for them to fly home so that we can spend some time with them!
Anyway, I am so happy and blessed! Aaron is wonderful even at the times when I might not be. ha! But we get by and really dont need anything- we are blessed!
until the next time Im on here---
ba bye!

Some newer pics of mine

Back in the saddle...

We have officially been back from Atlanta for about two months now and I couldnt be more happy to be home! Our little apartment in Provo was never more welcoming. It is just so nice to have your own furniture and belongings about you. I love our little cozy place! :)
The last month that we spent in Atlanta was proabanly the best month there. We had a day boating with the team and it really was a nice break for the summer. It was the only real summer activity that we had. So of course I took some pics and videos- Ill be posting those dont you worry ;) The ride home was a lot of fun. We stopped by Ward and Ambers place in Missouri and spent a couple of nights there! They are out in the boonies and only ten minutes to Adam-ondi-ahman. So of course we went to check it out. We also went to Liberty jail where Joseph Smith spent some time. I dont need to get into the details of that story. Butbasically, we had a good time.

Since we have been home we have been oober busy! Aaron started school and has been excelling as he always does and I am super excited to be starting makeup artistry school on the 11th!!! I will be going to school until the first week of December and then I will officially be a PROFESSIONAL makeup artist!!!! So if you are reading this and you or someone you know is in need of a makeup artist for like senior portrait or wedding/engagement pics yada yada... Let me know! I would live to help out- for a very minimal fee that is ;) But seriosly... Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, we celebrated my dads bday and then this past week we celebrated my 23rd birthday! Aaron took me up the Provo Canyon where we went on a walk and enjoyed the seasonal colors and beautiful weather. Then we went to Tucano's and we saw the movie Easy A. Which was pretty good. The following day I met up with some friends; Natasha & Bridger, Allyse & Blake, and Marcie & Dave at Wingers. Its kinda a tradition I've made each year for my bday. Good times. Then I also celebrated two more times with my family and Aarons family! My mom even got me a princess pinata (cant spell) for my family party! I was super spoiled for my bday! I am one lucky girl to have such awesome friends and family! It means so much to me and I couldn't have had a better birthday! Thanks to everyone for making it so wonderful! Enjoy the pics my peeps!
