Big Update!

Well it's official we heard the heartbeat and Nate and I get to add to our family! I'm so incredibly excited, I'll be due late December and can't wait to find out what I'm having. It was such a relief and wonderful experience to hear that heart just beating away. It's crazy to think I'm growing a human inside of me but it's so amazingly cool. I can't wait to meet our little one. Which by the way has officially been compared to a gummy bear. :)

Stats+Calculus+Biology+History = NO LIFE!

Seriously school is my nemesis right now. But on a high note I passed my pre-test for Stats 11% points above the cut mark. SO RELIEVED. History is going well I'm hoping my sister will be able to help me study soon, though her BF is coming into town tonight...I guess maybe next week. As for the Biology I'm half way through and now I just get to do an experiment and write about it. We decided we are going to test bubble wrap, because what is better than bubble wrap, breakable items, and dropping things off our balcony? I submit to you, nothing! I'm thoroughly excited, we are going to buy some little vases or something from the dollar store, and then different sizes of bubble wrap and then wrap the item stick it in a box and drop it from our deck. I can't wait! Calculus is going alright I'm just trying to get some of the other classes out of the way so I can focus on just that one and work through it quickly.

Well that about sums up my life as of late. So sorry I haven't blogged or talked to anyone... Work, working out, and SCHOOL have pretty much over run my life.

Oh small shout out to Michelle good luck with the delivery (having a little girl today or tomorrow) I love you lady, I wish I could be there with you!

Biggest Loser!

Alright so I haven't been a huge fan of this show, though I feel it's fantastic that instead of setting up the 'hottest' people they can find; someone is addressing a real problem for our nation in these reality shows. Anyway I like plenty of shows on NBC and the other night noticed biggest loser had just barely started so I thought, why not I'll watch a bit, and I am hooked. As I listened to their stories I felt like most were telling my story and I knew I could do it. I have had a goal to loose weight and it has had many mixed results, but I happened upon the two books of theirs that I wanted to buy in Smith's of all places and decided this was too good to pass up. I bought them and started reading I finished the first one in a day. The second I'm about half way through. I went shopping for the meal plan for the first week, I was so excited and started the 30 day jump start today. I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing but it's only a weekly weigh-in system. Wish me luck I'm going to be the Biggest Loser. Seriuosly I am going to look freaking hot!

3 'You gotta blog about this.' Posts

So over the past few weeks we have had a few moments that we have deemed must blog moments. So here they are.

1) Nate's schedule has been switched up for a month, so he works Saturdays and has Wednesdays off. So we have made Wednesday lunches our date time. Well this last Wednesday we decided to go to The Smoked Apple. And it was soooooooo good. I sat there eating my delicious meal and we realized that we were so glad we decided to go there, with their melt in your mouth meats, and a wonderful selection of sides... I highly recommend their fries, fantastic! They also had apple beer which we loved. And for a heaping plate of food for each of us buying the extra fries and both getting drinks it was only $22. Now granted that is not our normal date of maybe $9 by going to del taco but for a really nice meal it is way better tasting and priced than most sit downs.

2) For the past little while Nate and I have been watching LOST, not the last season but from the beginning, neither one of us made it past season two before we decided we would only watch the incredibly slow moving show once we could watch the entire thing, so now we have started knowing that we will reach the end about when this last season is over. Anyway last night we were asleep (I don't sleep to well because of my back and hip problems) So I was pretty awake when all of the sudden Nate calls out into the night, 'I gotta find Walt...(then mumbles) I should have been the assistant captain.' I started laughing and wanted to know if he was awake so I asked him, 'Nate are you awake?' 'Yeah I'm awake' 'Did you really just say that?' 'Yeah I did' 'Okay' Then this morning I asked him if he remembered talking in his sleep, he says no, I actually slept incredibly soundly it was awesome. I told him what he said and he goes, 'We're watching way too much LOST.' Bwahahaha.

3) We just received a new calling, we will be going on our ward handcart Trek in June. When we first received the call(we're over historical like pictures and stuff) I was so excited. Then I thought of the best joke to play ever... Lately as most of you know I have been getting a lot of pressure to start a family, yes we get it we've almost been married for two years, and yes we are 'old', anyway Julie has REALLY wanted me to get pregnant so as a fun little joke I gave her a call and this is how the conversation went:

Me: Hey Julie, Nate and I have an announcement.
Julie: Oh really?
Me: Yep we're going to be a mom and dad.
Julie: (with contained glee) So how far along are you?
Me: Well we're going on our ward trek in June. (I think she thought I said around our ward trek)
Julie: Well luckily you won't have to go on that.
Me: No we're going to be a mom and dad on our ward trek in June.
Julie: (With sudden realization of what I'm saying) this is the stupidest phone call!
Me: (laughing uncontrollable and trying not to pee my pants)
Julie: No seriously I am so mad at you right now. You had better go upstairs and get knocked up, goodbye. *click*

It was incredibly fantastic and I seriously laughed for 5 minutes afterwards. And that is all. I hope you enjoyed our stories.
