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.

Baby... Baby... Pirate?

Can you guess our secret?

Rugby and LSAT

It's been awhile since I posted something so I thought I would give an update of what is going on in our lives.

I am doing another semester at UVU and its already fun and exciting. I'm also playing Rugby for UVU and its a ton of fun and I love it!!!

David just took the LSAT and now we are just waiting the results witch will take about 3 weeks. We are now filling out applications for law schools.

Ok so that was a really quick update but there ya go.

New York 2009

OK so I know it has been forever but I thought I would actually blog about our trip to New York. And I promise it will be short...

So we stayed in a hotel right in Time Square which was great! It was close to everything! The first night we just walked around and tried to take everything in.

The next morning we took a tour guide bus around New York. The very first bus we got on was quite entertaining. The tour guide was either drunk, high, or both!

But we got off at the next stop and then the rest of the day was a lot better.

We also got to see Wicked at the Gershwin Theater. HOLY CRAP! I loved it! I was so happy! I mean i was so happy that I actually had to try not to cry! It was amazing! I had been dying to go see it forever and then I got to go see it on Broadway! WOW! I was so excited

We went to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. That was awesome. We were able to go up into the base. It was a lot of fun.

The last night that we were there we even got to see a New York Yankees game in their new stadium. And of course they won.

We went to Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, we went to some amazing restaurants and tried some new things. Over all it was a blast and I'm so glad that we had the oppetunity to go. Thanks Dad and Teri!!!

The Adventures in Lava Hot Springs

This last weekend was Davids and mine 1 year anniversary. We wanted to get away and do something but still keep things cheap so we decided to go camping.

On Friday the 29th I was working before we left and a guy comes in with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and says they are for me! I was so excited! The

re was one rose which David said represented the one year we had been married.

After work and after packing up the car we were on the road going to Lava Hot Springs in Idaho. Lava Hot Springs is a very small little town south east of Pocatello.

I saw this van on the drive up and I told David that I wanted one just like it!

When we got there we set up our tent and started a fire going and started making S'mores and Doughboys. Doughboys, for those of you who don't know, are the best camping food ever!

This is how you make them: You need 1 can of biscuit dough. (I like to use cresant dough). Then you take one biscuit and wrap it around the end of a 1 in wooden dowel. Then you roast it over the fire. When its done you slide it off the end and fill it with jam, honey, butter etc. They are so good!

Heres the fun part:

(WARNING: Pictures of needles and IV's)

Saturday morning David woke up and said I think I got bitten by a bug and he was itchy all over. It wasn't a bug bite but hives. David was covered in hives. I told him we needed to get some Benadryl. And on the way to the store his throat started to close luckily we got to the store and he popped 4 pills and then it was off to Pocatello 30 miles away to get to the closest ER. The Benadryl stopped his throat from closing. They got him hooked up to an IV and gave him a steroid and epinephrine.

We figured he developed an allergy to Penicillin since he has been on 3 or 4 different kinds in the last month. After being at the hospital for a couple hours the hives disappeared and he was feeling better so we left to go back to camping.

So back to camping. Later that afternoon we finally went to the hot springs. They are all natural they just built pools around were the stream come in. And they are hot! It was so relaxing and it was pretty empty when we went so it was really peaceful.

So there rest of the time was just more camping and enjoying our Saturday.

Sunday the 31st was our actual anniversary. We packed up camp and decided to drive to Soda Springs. We heard that there was a spring that produced natural soda. We drove all through this little town and couldn't find it and then on the way out we saw a geyser that was going off down some back street. We find it and read the little sign. The whole thing was man made. The waster was natural but they put a cap on the stream so every couple of minutes it goes off. I found that kinda lame. Oh well

Later that night we opened up our cake topper we had on our wedding day and ate what we could. It was actually pretty good it was just really big.

I'm so happy that I was able to spend this last year with the best man I know. I feel so blessed and lucky to have such a great man in my life. I look forward to the many more years to come.

EDIT: Gifts: David wrote me a beautiful letter and I got him a subscription to his favorite magazine. (Your 1 year anniversary is supposed to be paper if you didn't know)
