Updates!

Well we had our first Christmas together! We had so much fun! :]] But getting used to balancing time with both our families for the holidays is definitely going to be a learning experience for a few years!

Well I am definitely starting to show! I've been lucky and have been able to hide it for the last 5 months. But it looks like since I've started my 6th month and almost into my 7th it has definitely popped out! I'm so excited for our little guy to get here! He is moving more and more every day! Jud can even feel him now! :]] We went to a double feature tonight with Jud's family and through both movies he was kicking like crazy! He also seems to know when his dads hand is on my stomach; he will dance around for him!

For the last month or two me and Jud have been working towards the goal of going to the temple and getting sealed. Since we started this journey it has definitely had its ups and downs. I have learned that patience is a virtue. We have been reading our scriptures and praying together each night; and it is amazing how such a little thing can impact your relationship so much! I can honestly say that I have never loved Jud more than I do now! My stress has also been cut in half, Jud is helping more and more everyday with helping me keep the house clean with both of our busy work schedules. I'm sure he is going to be lots of help when the baby comes and he will be an amazing father! We are half way done with the missionary lessons and then we get to start the temple prep classes! Before too long we should be getting sealed! :]]

During the Christmas break one of my friends came down to visit. Unfortunately we were unable to get our busy schedules to match up; so we were unable to get together. Which sucks, because I miss hanging out with all my old friends. But ever since we all got married and started college and graduated from high school it seems like we all have so many different things going on. Life just seems to keep getting faster; and with me becoming pregnant and working and everyone else working along with school and moving to different states we don't ever see each other. Some days I just wish we could all go back to high school days. Like they always say, you never know what you have till it's gone. Hopefully one day we can all take a vacation together or something. Ha someday! :]] But you can always hope.

The last couple months I have grown really close to Jud's sisters. I have always wanted to have an older sister, mostly just because I have always been the oldest in my family! But now I have 5 older sisters and 3 younger ones! (counting my own little sister)

All in all I would say that I am loving life right now! I have a healthy baby on the way, a cute little puppy to keep me company when Jud is gone, the love of an amazing and supportive man who I get to call my husband, supportive and loving parents, and everything that I could ever ask for!

So that is basically what has been going on the last couple months and how I have been feeling! I feel a little better having said all this. I will hopefully have pics of my belly and ultrasound pics up after the new year. I have my next Dr. apt on the 14th of January and I'm supposed to be getting an ultra sound too. So once we get those pics I will see if I can get all those posted! :]]

Welcome Home

Well Jud is home again! Thursday night he surprised me by coming to my house- when I thought he was still in Georiga! On his way home from Chile! I think that is one of the best surprises I have ever gotten! :]] Needless to say wedding plans are going wonderful! We ordered flower girl dresses, and baskets, and some crystals for the lights. All of which are now here! Lexi, Josh and Tish's crazy girl, tried on her dress last night. Its a little big, but super cute! She is going to be the ring bearer, while emma, another one of Jud's nieces and my little cousin Brooklin, are going to be the flower girls! So cute! Me and Jud have also decided to buy a trailer, or manufactured home if you will. We have found one down in Millhollow, a cute little community about a mile down the road from my parents. But the house that we are looking at is going for 14,500 obo. So hopefully we can talk them down on the price! And of course hopefully there isn't too much of a catch! So tomorrow we are going to look at it, and go to banks to discuss getting a loan or a mortgage. So depending on which option and bank suits us best, we will trasfer there, buy the house and live happily ever after! :]] Or so we hope! :]] If we do buy the house, Jud and Jessie will move into it in January when Jud and I start school again, and Jessie will be graduated from Evans on January 19th. So hopefully all works out as planned! It would be awesome if the house works out for us and has what we want! :]] Another thing we are doing tomorrow is going to the cocoabean, and tasting cup cakes for our wedding!! :]] SO excited for that! And lastly, we are going to go check out how much a tux rental is! Which hopefully shouldnt be too bad! :]] Everything is working out nicely, and I sure hope it continues that way! OH also, I finished my second semester at EITC last wednesday! So I am done with School for a month! :]]
