Its a boy!

I am so bad at posting, just so much has happened this month, we found out that we are having a boy! We are so excited, of course nothing is ever sure, but they didn't really question it, the ultrasound tech said she would be surprised if it was not a boy. Of course my parents are still spectacle & think it could still be a girl. I am nineteen weeks right now. We found out at 15 weeks, it was still early but after a little motivation we got him to move. I called my mom when we found out & five hours later she calls me telling me she went crazy & bought him lots of clothes. Thanks Lexi Rollender for our pictures!

Baby Peanut!

We have a bun in the oven! We are so excited to meet our little one in December. We wanted to wait a at least a year before starting a family but we felt differently a few months ago. We found out during Spring Break. We were in California & I started not feeling well that Monday & I was suppose to start my period. When I packed I brought a box of tampons & a pregnancy test just in case. I took the test but it was invalid  It didn't give us a positive or negative. I figured it was to early & their was no way I was pregnant, we just started trying & many of my friends have been trying for six months with no luck, (Yes I know it only takes one time, but I figured it couldn't happen to us) so I figured I wasn't feeling well because of the trip. On Wednesday we went to Disneyland & I felt so nauseous we had to leave early because I felt so bad. I had a feeling so we stopped at the store to buy another test. I took it & their was barley a line so it was still questionable. We went back to the store got another cheap test & one that was idiot proof. I had Tyler take a test just in case. I took the other test & we had to wait, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Then it blinked pregnant & I was so excited I screamed & started to cry.

My mom & Grandma came in thinking I was hurt but as soon as they walked in they knew why. They hugged us & started crying too. I love them so much, I am so glad my entire family was their with me at that moment. My dad knew before he came in. After all that excitement we sat down & it started to sink in. We had agreed not to tell anyone except our parents but that escalated quickly. I couldn't hold it in, I texted our family & a lot of friends. Tyler is better at keeping things to himself than I am. We have a joke that the first test didn't work because that day Ronnie & Chelsey got engaged, so we didn't want to steal their thunder. We left the next day to Arizona where we told the rest of Tyler's family.

I have had two ultra sounds & have heard the heart beat twice! It is so little, we call it peanut until we find out the gender although I do say he & she a lot. We decided to keep it off of Facebook until I am in my second trimester because first time pregnancy's have a slight higher chance of miscarrying  We went to the doctor on Tuesday & the baby is health & happy, we saw it move, it was just moving all over the place & we heard the heart beat! It is is active! It is amazing to know a little baby is growing inside of me.

 Week 7 Ultrasound

Week 11 ultrasound

I have been blessed not to have a bad pregnancy  I am just so tired all the time. I don't want to move, so mixed with senioritis, this semester has been a struggle. I feel nauseous at time but haven't thrown up. Also I have very bad pregnancy brain. I am starting to show so I am excited. I am moving into my second trimester so I am starting to feel better. We are nervous to become parents but we are ready (as ready as anyone can be) to start this new chapter & are thankful for all the love & support we have had.

Six Wonderful Months.

Well not everyday is always wonderful but today Tyler & I have been married for six months. I can't believe how fast it has gone. We have had our ups and downs, they say the first year is the hardest, but it hasn't been that bad, so if this is the worst, I can't wait for the many more years I have with my wonderful man. Tyler is so sweet to me everyday and does his best to make me happy. He brings me home sweet surprises and is always their cheering for me in whatever I do.

In our wonderful six months we have:

Gotten married

Went to Mexico

Went to Arizona for Thanksgiving

Went to California for Christmas

Adopted a puppy 

Learned how to fish

Went to Vegas

Tyler & I first met our first semester at BYUI. We were in the same ward. We were best friends and always wrote to each other when he was on his mission in San Diego. I told him I would not wait for him because he needed to focus on the Lord and not on me. He didn't like that but accepted it. He came home and the next day sends me a message on Facebook. We talked & the next day started dating. We knew we wanted to end up together, we had a lot of obstacles to overcome and we knew it was going to be a long hard journey, but it would be worth it. He came down before Thanksgiving to be with me in Idaho. We went home for Thanksgiving and Christmas and that was hard on us. He came down to visit me in California before I went back to Idaho in January. The day after he came we went to Disneyland were he proposed. I knew it was coming so I wasn't all that surprised but it didn't really hit me until we were watching the fireworks. I broke down and cried realizing I was going to be with this man forever and how long I have waited for this. It was so real now, not just talk. We went back to Idaho but I returned to California shorty after. I finished up my Spring semester at BYUI and went back home but Tyler stayed in Idaho. It was a long three months but I met up with him in Arizona two weeks before the wedding. We spent some time with his family and went back to California where we got married. We had a nine month engagement and it felt like forever at the time but looking back it went by so quickly. Now I have been married to the love of my life for six wonderful months and I can't wait to see what our future has in store. 

Easter.

Happy Easter everyone!

Tyler & I celebrated our first easter together. It was so much fun, We woke up and I gave Tyler his easter basket. It had some candy, a t-shit, a bunny, and Lincoln DVD. Then I had him search for 49 easter eggs hidden in our apartment and a chocolate easter bunny. It took a good 20 minutes for him to find them all but all of them were found! He then gave me my basket which was a ballon full of surprises! Their was a big pink bunny, some candy and a flower! He is the sweetest I loved it. Then we went to church and had fast and testimony meeting which was sad, I wanted to hear some great talks but oh well, what can you do? Then we went & had dinner with the family. It was delicious, I made dessert and it was super good & cute.

Tyler & I have recently taken up fishing & we love it. We went three times this week, I caught one first the first time & Tyler caught two on Friday! He is so good, we take them home & I clean & gut them and cook them for Tyler. He really likes it.

Oh yah, Merrik enjoyed fishing too!

Loud. Muse. Vegas.

Last weekend Tyler, and I went to Vegas to go see Muse in concert! We went with our cousins Devin and his wife Lexi. It was my first loud in your face concert. We left Friday after class and got there at around eleven, we ate at Cafe Rio and it was delicious. Once we got there we went out, we went to the Fremont Casino. We were looking at around at the bright lights and sounds when a guy who is in charge of the casino came to card us. We just looked so innocent and scared.

We went back to our cheap dirty hotel and found it wasn't that clean. Their was a dirty towel on the floor next to the door and of course, it wouldn't be Vegas if their were used cans of Bud Light under our sink. Our key cards did work and we were afraid of bed bugs but don't worry we didn't. The next day we went out and party. We went to the Paris Hotel, then Planet Hollywood, the Cosmopolitan then went to go eat the most delicious (& expensive) buffet of our lives in Cesars Palace. They had everything you could ever imagine.

After that we headed back to the hotel, we were beat and took 3 hour nap, we couldn't believe we slept for that long. After that we went back out and went to Casino Royal. By the time we were done we had missed the last shuttle so we decided to walk home. It was amazing warm, we have been in Rexburg for so long we forgot what warmth felt like. It was a nice two mile walk but I got huge blisters, thankfully I am a dancer so it doesn't hurt for long. The next day we went to the Pawn Shop store, from the show Pawn Stars on the History channel. It was pretty cool but not what I thought it would be. 

After that we went to go see the other half of the strip. We took the monorail and looked around the MGM Grand Hotel, then the Excalibur and played at the kiddy arcade. Then we went to the M&M factory and the coke factory. Tyler loved it and I love always going their. We took the tram to the Mandalay Bay where the concert would be playing. We got their when the doors open, and I got a Muse shirt! I love it, but it was so empty until Muse actually started playing. Dead Sara opened for them, I didn't like them that much but everyone else did. Then Muse started playing. I loved it I was screaming and singing as loud as I could and no one could hear me. For me it was a different experience, it was loud with lots of lights, but we don't go to concerts every day. The lead singer tossed his guitar int he crowed and apparently it hit some guy in the head & made him bleed everywhere. Their was this other girl that got her hair stuck on the top of the guitar and everyone was pulling on it and she ended up getting a concussion and went to the ER. After that we went back to the MGM Grand and went back home. It was a wonderful trip to get me back on track and finish the last three weeks of school
