Bigger by the day!

So today i am officially 18 weeks along in my pregnancy! I feel small some days, but big most. Everyone is asking me if I'm sure there's only one in there! (As far as I know, there is) I love watching my belly grow everyday! It really is amazing, and by seeing the growth I know that baby Roman is doing a-okay! Lets just hope I don't get too big! :)

Animal Kingdom

This Saturday my sweet husband took me to animal kingdom! It was a whole lot of fun! Although being pregnant, all the cool exciting rides were off limits we still found a few rides that we were able to enjoy. The water ride was probably my favorite because it was so stinkin hot out! We needed to cool off a bit! We also went on a jungle safari ride that was so fun! Lots and lots of animals! Needless to say it was a very successful day!

My wifely attempts

Look at this amazing yummy looking dinner! Garlic herb chicken, steamed green beans, and onion roasted potatoes! It looked and smelled soo delicious! I was so so proud of myself for making this...that was until my husband got sick! After eating, within a minute he was heaved over the toilet! I don't know what happened! Needless to say, I quit after the one bite I had taken and threw the rest away! So much for spending all that time cooking!

And her belly grows

I love love love being pregnant! Sometimes I just feel like a beached whale, but other days I feel like a fertility goddess! I have learned to embrace this growing belly and love every moment of it (even the bad). After all, how many times in your life are you pregnant? :)

A Woman's Best Friend

This is my wonderful puppy Koda! Isn't he the most adorable thing ever! I've had him since he was 6 weeks old and he is now 1 whole year old! He has the most wonderful personality in the world! He has to be the most loved and spoiled dog i know! he eats more people food than dog food! P.s. he's not fat...he's husky :) tehehe

The Fires of Love!

This was my dear husband and my first valentines day together as a married couple and it lived up to high expectations! We stayed over night in Daytona Beach and boy was it beautiful! To get away and enjoy the company of each other was so wonderful and much much needed! We had a wonderful steak dinner at outback and enjoyed the night together! Couldn't have been any more romantic!

Ever feel like pippy long stockings? Lol

Dressing the Bump

Bring on the cravings!!

Hello camo, football, and bugs!!!!

After 16  weeks, and mommy here dying to find out if baby Reid is a boy or girl we finally found out! What i was so absolutely positive was a girl turns out to be a sweet baby boy! How exciting is that!!!

And then there were two..and a half.

As seeing we have been together for almost three years now, after getting married, we both decided that we wanted to start a family and that we would let it happen if it was Heavenly Father's plan for us. Well apparently it was! We found out when i was four week pregnant, i took a test wrapped it in a baby outfit, put it in a box and gave it to joey to open. He was so excited! and a little confused because he didn't know how to read the test! What a typical man right! non the less he knew what the outfit meant. and that meant life as we knew it was about to change! But oh so for the better! And we were ready!

                                                              10 Weeks! hellloooo baby bump!

                                                        13 Weeks were getting somewhere!

The Honeymooners!!!

For our honeymoon we went on a 6 day cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel Mexico! So much fun!

And They Lived Happily Ever After

       After dating for two loooong years, i got what every girl dreams of their whole lives, a ring and a proposal. Joey did what i call the 12 days of proposal, so just like there were gifts for each day in the 12 days of Christmas, there were gifts in our 12 days of proposal that my true love gave to me! And with each gift were the cutest stories! I had no idea he had it in him! It was so sweet and romantic! So lets fast forward to the good stuff.
       It all began on our two year anniversary and the countdown began. I waited every day for what surprise he would have for me next. The best part about this is all is that i was in Arizona and he was in Florida! So he was doing these things from across the country with the help of his mom. Awesome right! so skipping to day one. June 1st 2012, The proposal. He had my favorite dinner (olive garden) ready for us to eat and gave the most romantic speech ever. I was so happy and surprised and well, swept off of my feet that i forgot to say yes! poor joey was down on his knee for almost 45 seconds without me saying anything!!!! Finally i spit it out. YES!!!! and the planning began!
       Months passed, and the date was getting closer! October 27th 2012! October 27th 2012! Oh i was so excited! It felt like that day could not come soon enough! I couldn't believe that i was getting married! I couldn't believe that i would have my best friend for forever. No matter what. He was going to be all mine.
and then the day came...

        The most wonderful day of my life. I was sealed to my husband in the Orlando Florida LDS Temple. A day i will never forget. A day that we began our lives together. Our story together.

My Fairytale: How we met

        Probably the biggest and most important event in my life happened with meeting this prince charming. It all started when we met at his job working at the chiropractic office. I would go with my mom in the mornings before school because my car was broken down and then she would drop me off afterwards. At the time i was dating another guy and hardly gave Joey the time of day. Well after a while i got my car fixed and quit going with my mom. months passed and i ran into Joey but this time i was single...and attracted. Not that i wasn't before because how could i not be, but it hadn't been in my interest back then. With those feelings arising a few more months later i searched for him on facebook and after viewing a couple profiles that were undoubtedly not the Joseph i was looking for, i found him! He accepted me shortly after and we began talking and then texting and then we had a date planned!      

  Our first date was May 21st 2010 at mimis cafe, and might i say i remember exactly where we sat, exactly what we were wearing, and exactly what we ordered. I also remember exactly how much i liked him. After dinner we sat in his car for hours just talking about nothing. well actually he couldn't get a word in with my big mouth. I couldn't shut up about my interests, my favorites and my dreams about aliens and zombies! Great first date talk right? Needless to say i guess he liked my big mouth because the dates continued!  It didn't take long before we were inseparable. Before we were best friends. Every fairytale story has a kiss in it right? well our first kiss was more than memorable. it was embarrassing! I literally started croaking! My throat made this strange sound that i can only describe as a frogs croak! How awful is that!!! Turns out i was the frog waiting to be kissed by the right one!!!

Hello world of blogging! I am Completely new at this and am learning as i go. I wanted to start this blog as somewhat of a journal for my children to read one day so they can know who i was, what i did, and where it all started. I wanted them to have memories and stories to read. Since I'm awful at keeping up with writing in a journal I'm hoping that typing in one will be a little easier for me. Also i have all the time in the world and need a good hobby to keep me busy. So here it goes. Here's my story! :)
