More from the New Year

Well I finished my 4th semester of school! I have 4 left now! Half way done! I am stoked about getting done this much, I want to quit, but I am gonna keep on going! Lol.




It has been an interesting year so far and we have been having the most fun that we can.

We bought a townhouse! Yay for us! So we have a nice big back yard, an electric fence, and tons of fun! We can leave our dogs out all day and they won't go anywhere. We can go out and BBQ and entertain and we absolutely love it!





Jesse (our baby..puppy) is about 8 or 9 months old now. She is getting so big and soon will dominate in the "play fighting" with Ellie. It is so fun to watch them! They LOVE to be outside, even when it snows. There are 5 dogs behind us and they have found their way into our yard from under the fence! Oh well, not our dogs! :) Jesse loves to greet them!





Ellie is a year and a half. She isn't growing anymore, but isn't maturing either! Lol. She is still a youthful energetic puppy and plays more than Jesse! The two together are adorable, and they are so inseperable. I love it!






My mommy and Danie came out to visit for a week. My mom was looking for a job out here so that they can FINALLY move!!! YAY! It was so fun having them. Because of my mom I am trying some new food dishes. It is fun. I love cooking, and I had a great teacher! I can't wait until they move out here so that I can see the whole family more often! It was definitely a blast having them, and I am so glad they came!




One of the dishes I made

Basil Orange Chicken



Still trying to get pregnant, the time will come when it is our time. No rush. Can't wait though! Until then I have been enjoying my sleep, my nieces and nephews, and my hubby. <3>

January 26th 2010


Well 2010 started and we were so excited for the BIG news! Yes Pregnant.
We were very excited when we found out (New Years Eve) that we were going to have a baby!
As exciting as it was our first doctors appointment was January 25th, and were kind of nervous to go and hear the baby's heart beat.
January 25th came, no heart beat. We were very nervous and scared about what was going to happen. The doctor sent us to go to get an ultra sound the next morning to see the baby and make sure everything was okay.
Tuesday morning we woke up and headed off to the doctors again. The nurse didn't say anything to us except "are you sure about the time of your last menstrual cycle?" and left the room. When she returned she told us we needed to go over and talk to our doctor. We walked across the parking lot, waited in the room for the doctor. The doctor walked in and immediately told us that we had a fetal demise, which means miscarriage. I immediately broke into tears. Our little baby didn't have any cardiac movement. Unfortunately the baby didn't make it.
To make matters worse, I miscarried about the same time I found out I was pregnant. Therefore, I have been carrying the baby for four more weeks than I should have. Now I need to have surgery. They told me that I could have waited a little more to see if I would pass this myself, but I didn't want to. I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. Wednesday morning I was in the hospital for my first surgery.
It is not easy hearing those words. But I know with all my heart that I will meet my baby sometime! Jake and I still love our baby so much and we will have children someday. As sad as it is for me to know that I am not pregnant anymore, I will be when the time is right. I am definitely excited for when the time comes.
I am still having some extreme pain, and so I have to have some more tests (maybe) to make sure that I don't have another pregnancy (an eptopic pregnancy). If that is the case, I will have to go back into surgery. The doctors seemed very hopeful and not concerned that this was the case (because it is VERY rare). So I am just keeping my head up and I am not going to worry about it. One day at a time.
I want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts. We truly appreciate it. I have been emotionally doing better than expected, I think it is because of my knowledge of life after death, and all the loving family and friends that I have. Life is precious, don't take it for granted. Enjoy every moment and every little thing that you have.
Oh, and HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY DANIELLE (January 26th!) Love you!
Also, HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY RACHEL! (January 31st!)

WORK

Well I finally got a job...!! YAY!! After I received my job at Chili's, I was offered 2 more jobs at some daycares. I went for 2 more interviews, but then didn't go with either. I figured working at Chili's keeps me busy enough!! :) I love it there. It is so fun. The people are great too!

Jake is still working the same job, but going to school too. Things have been good since I got my job. Less stress, more fun! Just the other day I had another interview for Olive Garden as well. I am staying at Chili's and only Chili's though!! Come visit and give me your money!!! Haha, JUST KIDDING!!
P.S. I can't wait for my family to move to Idaho and be close to me....I am spreading the news to all now, so it isn't a shock when the time comes!!

New News

Well, again, it has been a while since my last post, but here are some updates!

We moved into a new apartment at the beginning of June. We are all settled in, except for a few things that we have NO idea where to put. Ellie (our puppy) was quite confused and didn't know where we were. Actually one time when we drove by our old apartment, she whined for a bit. I think she wanted to go "home". Poor dog. She is doing well now though. The apartment is a two bedroom and has a lot more room in it. We have our own washer and dryer as well, which I LOVE! The apartment complex also has a dog field which is nice, we just take her over there and lock the gate and she just runs and plays.


Jake has been working a ton (which is good cause we need the money). He was working here in town (Idaho Falls), but just today was transferred back to Rexburg to work on the BYU-Idaho buildings. He starts at ISU at the end of this month. I think he is excited. He just bought tickets to go to 2 BYU games this fall as well, and he can't wait! His birthday is coming up (so is yours mom!) It is September 4th, Nana's birthday. He says he "feels so old" because he is going to be 23! Haha I just told him to wait til he turns 30, then he will be complaining that he is not 23! (which his oldest brother Jason just turned 30!) He started growing his hair out since the wedding and it got really long! A little past his eyes. Well yesterday, he decided he was going to cut it for me. HE IS SO HOTT! I love his short hair! He told me he was in the bathroom thinking to himself how he forgot how good he looks with short hair. Haha, it is so true though! :)

I am in the middle of transferring to Idaho State University, I have pretty much finished getting everything sent. Just waiting for one final thing to get there. Hopefully it'll be soon. Jake and I were thinking about what in the world we were going to do with our dog, and we decided I would try to get classes here in Idaho Falls (because ISU has a campus here) so that I can be in town and come home and make sure she doesn't chew everything and go potty in my house! I am excited. I also have been looking for a job since...May/June. It is so hard to find one! I have been to over 30 places, and still...Nothing. I got an offer at a daycare, but then the lady never called, so when I called her she just said that she didn't need me because the girl she was going to fire "got her act together" and she said she'd call me back that following week to let me know if anything would open, but no phone call. Oh well. She doesn't seem to reliable. Hopefully I will get one soon!!!
Ellie is just being a puppy. She gets super rowdy before bed. It gets kind of annoying and funny at the same time. She just runs all over the apartment like a pyscho dog jumping on everything! She is so fast too! Then a few minutes later she crashes. She is so fun though. She hates baths, but she loves to roll around in puddles and mud. I don't get it. It makes it so difficult because I have to bath her practically every day because she ends up dirty all the time! But she is a doll. I don't think I could ever give her up! We have been thinking of getting another one, but realized we probably shouldn't. Although we think she would love to have a puppy to mother. If we did we'd have to pay extra, and we don't want to do that.


We tried a kitten. She was ADORABLE!! She was black with a tiny bit of white just like Ellie. She was so sweet and cuddly. She would climb up my leg to my shoulders and sit under my chin (when I was standing). And when I was lying down she would sleep under my chin. It was so fetchin cute! Except Ellie was jealous and didn't like the idea of not getting all the attention. She tried eating her a few times (well, she just snapped at her and what not), so we decided for the safety of the kitten, and both of their personalities, we gave her back to the humane society where we got her. I go visit her sometimes. She just sleeps in the cage with her brother. I haven't been in a while though.

We signed Ellie up for an obedience class. We had one class already. It is fun. She is so funny with the other dogs. She is the biggest on there, except 2 of them are gonna get bigger (German Shephard and Huskie). She just goes crazy with all the dogs around. She was really hyper at first, but after a bit she was being the best behaved. I am excited for this class. It'll be fun! :) She does really well with commands. We started her WAY earlier on sit. She has that one down, except when she gets excited about being around other people/dogs. Haha, then she has ADD and doesn't listen.


Jake and I went to Vegas at the end of July for Jolynn Wolford's Wedding! It was so fun! We drove down Thursday and got there late that night (with quite a few stops on the way). It was so fun seeing Sherrie and Dwayne, and Danny! He is so big! We then spent Friday on the strip just site seeing! It was beautiful, and REALLY HOT! 112 degrees every day we were there! (and in the 90's at night!) We did some shopping and lots of walking, then ate at Planet Hollywood. Then we went back to the Wolford's for a nap and to rest a bit. When it started getting dark out we went back to the strip to see the Bellagio at night. That was fun. We walked around for a bit longer and even went to Circus Circus and road the rollercoaster.

The next day was Jolynn's wedding, which was BEAUTIFUL! We were there til about 3 or 4 and then it was over, so Jake and I headed back to the strip. We ate at ESPN zone and walked around some more. I got a Hooters shirt for my collection, and an apron! It's funny. Saturday night I was looking for the larger garbage can to put our stack of garbage from the truck, and when I was leaving the garage, I opened the door and (NO JOKE) 5-7 inches away from my face was a spider about as big as the palm of my hand sitting on the wall. It started to crawl, I screamed and ran in to the house. I locked the door and freaked out that maybe it was on me. Jake just laughed. No one could find it the next day, but I swear on EVERYTHING it was there!




After struggling to get to sleep because of that MONSTER, Sunday morning came and we woke up about 9. got dressed, said our goodbyes and headed back home. It was nice being home again. It always is nice to come back to my home and my own bed. :) I definitely cannot wait to go back though!
