jinxed

Ha well what do you know... guess who gets to speak in church this coming Sunday....why yes that would be me (and Ryan) I knew my 4 year streak would end soon, I was just hoping it wouldn't be for another ohhh 10 years or so?
On the bright side I get to speak about Temples and have a wonderful husband who loves speaking to receive help from. Wish me luck! 

I so look forward to this Wednesday I can't hardly wait *ahem not* I have to go to a drivers class for a ticket. Awesome I know! for the hour and a half I will be making my grocery and to do list, maybe come up with some baby names while I'm at it. Even though Ryan and I are on a strict no talking about baby names since we can't seem to agree on either of ours. If it's a girl we are good to go, if a boy...well he shall be nameless for perhaps the first year of his life. again, wish us luck on that one too!

Well the weekend has come and gone way too fast! as always. It is some times such a bummer to have mine and Ryans work times so different, he's mon-fri 9-5 job and mine depends on the week with including every saturday obviously. So my weekend is whenever I have a day or two off together.
This weekend was more of a relaxing hanging out one with a surprise birthday party dinner for a friend, dinner at Ryan's parents with their delicious taco's. (Trust me, they are THAT good) and walks around our complex feeding the 2 different baby duck families, baby geese, and finding a turtle hanging out on the bottom of the stream. Hogle Zoo for 10 bucks or come to our complex for free!

We got our callings in our ward, and excited we get to serve with each other as ward missionaries! And I'm pretty sure my streak of not speaking in church is about to end. 4 years with out speaking in sacrament is going to end i'm sure soon. dang. I also added on my ''Getting to know you'' paper in Relief Society on the question 'What callings would you like to be a part of'' or something to that effect. I answered "Anything but teaching! ;) ) yes I included in the wink face.
I can't help it, I would love to help in any way shape or form...but teaching or speaking. I get tongue tied, I sound like I'm going to start crying in any second because my voice is shaking so bad. Yes this is me we are talking about, even miss social butterfly is not a fan of public speaking.

Give me, nursery, primary even young women's any day! but speaking and teaching adults...I'll leave that to the professional of Ryan. That boy could seriously teach and talk all day long, he loves it!

So that was our exciting weekend, that and the tummy is officially poking out! In just a week I went from a tiny lil barely noticeable bump to now an actually 'belly' what, are there 3 in there? jk! but seriously knock on wood. We are loving it and can't wait to find out what we will be having :D

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers day!!  I am truly blessed to have this woman as my mom and friend


She has always been at my side rooting for me, looking out for me and wanting me to be happy.
I have learned so much from her, I hope to be at least half the mother she has been and still is.
She has taught me to be kind to everyone, that family and the gospel are the most
important things in life; everything else is just a bonus. She is a fabulous cook! 
She continues to inspire me when I see her reading her Book of Mormon, finding and telling 
me about a good church book to read. (Currently I have started reading ''The Work & The Glory")


She is one of the most giving and selfless people I know. Even through my ''stubborn'' teen 
years I have learned from her and now as I look back I can say 'yeah, she 
really did know what she was talking about! Mama does know best!' haha
I'm so grateful to have her in my life and to learn more from her as I become
a mother in 6 months (yikes!) 
<3 Love you Mom!
