Photography Class and Vandalism

I'm in a photography class at UVU and I'm really enjoying it!

For one of our assignments I had to do a plrevisulaution photo.

David and drove up the canyon and then into Sundance.

While up in Sundance I really liked the birch trees and was taking some pictures of them but they were too plain. So I took a marker out of the car and wrote on one of them, with all the signs around that said no trespassing, and houses on the other side of the road. (Yes I know I vandalized, but the picture really turned out!) Since I was doing film I had noway of knowing if the picture actually turned out until I developed it. I think it turned out great!!!! I took a picture of the final print with my digital camera so I could share it with everyone.

This is a picture of the picture

Really Yummy Recipe

Here is one of our favorite recipes

This one really doesn't have a name but I guess you could call them Chicken Spinach Bruschetta?

Ingredients:

2 Large Chicken breasts

1 1/4 cup Italian Dressing

1 bag Spinach

1/4 cup Sun dried Tomatoes

Sourdough Bread

First take the chicken breast and marinate them for 2-3 hours in 1 cup Italian dressing.

Tear spinach into medium pieces place in bowl and add sun dried tomatoes

Then grill the chicken (I use a George Forman but if I had accesses to a real grill I would try that). When cooked all the way through cut into small bite size pieces and add to spinach.

Add 1/4 cup Italian dressing to salad and mix well.

Cut sourdough bread slices in half and brush each side with olive oil. Grill for a few seconds each side (this is where the George Forman comes in handy because it grills both sides at the same time).

To serve place the spinach chicken salad on the grilled bread.

Again this is really really good!

I hope you like it!

Night in the ER

Yesterday was an eventful day.

We of course knew that I was going to miscarry we just didn't know when.

When we were leaving school around 5 pm we noticed that I was bleeding...a lot

after an hour and no improvement we decided to go to the ER. My blood pressure dropped several times to 80's/40's and then once into the 70's. I was very light headed and a little nauseous but once they hooked me up to an IV i felt a lot better.

I was still bleeding pretty bad and I was kinda in pain so they gave me 8 units of morphine which was amazing!

They did deiced around 11, when I still hadn't stopped bleeding, that I should get a D and C (DNC?) So I went into surgery which I did really well in and recovered really quick. But we still couldn't go home till 3 am.

We are now home and I'm relaxing and taking it easy. I'm on all sorts of medications and my favorite is the Percocet!

So this has been a very fun and eventful week!

The Lord has other plans for us

It seems that the Lord has other plans for us.

I went to the doctors today because I was concerned about somethings and I found out that it was just not our time to have a baby.

It's really hard to face but I know that I am not alone, I have my wonderful caring husband who would do anything for me. Wonderful parents and in-laws who are so loving and caring. And whole ton of friends. I also know that Lord is always here with us and he understands every thing that we go through and he cares for each and everyone of us.

Like I said this is really hard but I also know that its not the end of the world.

I turned 23!

I know its a little late but Happy Birthday to me!

On November 5th I turned 23! On the 5th we went out to dinner with some friends and family and it was so much fun! I also love that I have both my brother and sister living up here so they could come too! We then had really yummy ice cream cake back at our place.

I of course had to watch "V for Vendetta" because a movie all about the 5th of November!

Since my birthday was kinda in the middle of the week and David wanted to give me a whole day of pampering we decided that we would do the real celebrating on Saturday.

On Saturday David took me to Remadez in the the University Mall and I got a 90min facial which was amazing and so relaxing!

We then went the the Provo Mall and saw "A Christmas Carol" which was really good and is now one of my favorite versions of that story (The Muppet Christmas Carol is still #1). I would however not take small children to go see this movie! It was quit scary. There was a poor little 4 year old girl sitting next to us and she was hiding most of the move in her mom and dads arms and then several other children were crying and had to leave!

But I really did love it!!!!

After leaving the movie ( and then going back to get my phone) we went to the Cheesecake Factory! I loved it! I ate my calamari and I got my Dr. Pepper! Since I have gotten pregnant I have avoided soda and caffeinated drinks and of course seafood. I did ask my doctor if I could have the calamari and he gave me the "OK". Oh it was all so good!!!

And of course the best part was the Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheese cake we split for dessert!

It was a very good birthday!!!

PS I have a new song on my playlist for Thanksgiving so turn on your sound!

Halloween 2009

We actually had a pretty lame Halloween! This was the first year that we didn't carve a pumpkin. We just had a lot of other stuff going on and then when we did have time it was like midnight.

And then our ward wasn't doing anything for Halloween. No trunk-o-treating or anything which I thought was kinda lame.

We had no other parties to go to either so we really didn't know what we were going to do.

We decided to just get dressed up anyways and go out to dinner anyways. We ended up going to Red Robin at the mall and everyone loved our costumes. We did have fun but next year we will have to find a good party.

My sister and her friends were going to be dead Ute fans that were attacked by the BYU cougar. They wanted me to do their makeup for them and this was the result.

9 Weeks

Today I am 9 weeks pregnant!

I am starting to get a small baby bump.

Nothing to exciting going on though I went to the doctor for the first time yesterday and they basically told me everything we already know.

My due date is June 3.

I am healthy and so is the baby.

I will have another appointment next month and thats when we will get to have a sonogram and here the heartbeat. So hopefully that one will be a little more exciting.
