8 weeks to go!!

So, I tried to take a picture by myself and I gave up trying to include my face in it. Oh well- here's the belly.
I can't believe how quickly it's gone by, but we don't mind- we can't wait to meet this baby girl! Pregnancy has been fun. The worst part has been dealing with the heat and the extra weight. The best part has been sharing this experience with Jordan, picturing what she'll look like, and feeling her move... a lot! Sometimes that worries me because she is very active and we're hoping she wont be too hyper when she's born. Still, it's all fun though.

PERFECT!

Yep, that describes this last year being married! I wouldn't change one thing about it. I can't believe its been a whole year already. Time flies when you're having fun with the one you love. The weekend started off with us going to a show on Saturday night. We saw one of our favorite bands- Slow club. They were amazing, their voices sound so good together and I can honestly say they are the best band I've seen live vocal wise. Then on Sunday we headed off to my aunt's cabin in Green Valley Lake. This is where we got engaged, so we had to take a picture and hopefully can make it a tradition to go back every year. (I was sitting on this same table when Jordan proposed!)
We had a lot of fun. We BBQed and made s'mores...

Then we went to Big Bear lake and and rented a Kayak.
It was a little scary at first, but I got used to it... although I think Jordan did most of the work.
It was a really fun weekend and it was nice to get away. I can't believe how blessed I am to be married to my Jordan. He is far more than I deserve. He helps me to be a better person because he is so good. I've never met such a hard worker or someone so patient. He continues to impress me day by day. I'm so glad that we are both layed-back and we get along so well. We have never had a fight or an argument and we plan to keep it that way. So many people told us when we got married to enjoy the honey moon stage while it lasts, because after that marriage isn't so great..pssh who says it ever has to end? We agree it will last forever. So like I said, it was a perfect year and I am so excited for many more to come. I never thought I could ever be this happy! I love you Jordan, happy anniversary!!

jordan fell down

here are my right and left ankles on tuesday last week. i fell down at work and sprained my ankle pretty bad. lots of fun. now i get to spend 8 hours a day calling past customers to see if they want to sign back up with us. most people seem to have distinct reasons for canceling their service. needless to say, work has not been fun for me.

More about little baby...

So we had our appointment today , and when the nurse came in she said all we had to do today was hear the heartbeat and take some measurements- Oh and had I had an ultrasound yet? I told her we had not and she said they'd have to order one. I was feeling pretty sad because I thought for sure we would get to find out today. So I asked her how long it would take to order an ultrasound and she said they may be able to do it today! Yippee, we were all for that. We only had to wait about a half hour and I drank about two water bottles. Then we got to see our baby girl. It took a while... this one doesn't keep still! It doesn't seem real yet. I can't wait to meet her. She already looks like a beautiful baby and we love her!!

BIG NEWS!!!

My very best blessing

I feel like I need to share with everyone what an amazing husband I have. I've always thought myself to be very blessed to have him, but he's really impressed me lately. Ever since we found out I was pregnant, he's done all he can to meet my every need. and I never have to ask. We'll just be sitting on the couch and he'll pick up my feet and start rubbing them, or he'll start to rub my back. I don't even ask him to- he just does it! Every day he asks "what can I do for you?". He cooks, he cleans, he goes to work and school and he NEVER complains! He does all he can to take care of me and I honestly feel like a queen. And he always maks me laugh! He is a wonderful husband- I know he's the best and most perfect eternal companion for me. He will make a great dad. I love our marriage. So many people told us the "honeymoon" stage wouldn't last. We both disagree. It never has to end and we don't want it to. We know as long as we put each other first- it never will. So I just thought I'd share that with everyone. Thank you for all you do , Jordan..I love you!

Oh Mamas!

I am very blessed to have a mother and a mother in law like mine. My mom is great. She has the best sense of humor. I know she has been through a lot in her life, but she still has a strong testimony, and is happy. I love to hear stories about her childhood and even better, her college years ( she liked to play pranks on people =) ). She is there whenever I need her- always willing to help me out. I think she is absolutely gorgeous and always take it as a compliment when I'm told I look like her- something all my sisters do as well. She has been a wonderful mother to her 5 children. She has also been an example of many things; love, sacrifice, endurance, faithfulness, a good wife, and just taught us how to run an home and take care of each other. I love you, mom!

Then there is Sheryl. How I got so blessed to marry into a family with such a great mom? I don't know. She is someone I have always looked up to. My mama- in- law is someone who lights up the room and always makes people feel their best . I have never seen an ounce of selfishness in this women. I am amazed that she had 8 great kids in 10 years and continues to teach them good values. She is always willing to help everyone out and is very good and noticing people's needs and tending to them. I feel like we can never repay her for all she does for Jordan and I. It is so much fun being her daughter- in- law. And I am so happy that she raised Jordan- He is the best Husband in the world. I love the relationship he has with his mom.

So thank you , mamas for all your love and all you do. I have two perfect examples of mothers and wives. I can't wait for our baby to be showered by your love!
