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!

hmmm to know or not to know

So apparently you can go to the mall and do those 3-D video/pictures of your baby and know the gender right then and there! (yes I knew they exist but didn't know about finding out the gender so early on)
Ryan was telling me our friend Kara told him about it. I am so tempted to try this out in a few weeks when I am to week 14.

By the way, bless my client or the clothes I was wearing the other day because she said she couldn't tell at all that I'm pregnant,  because I sure see it and feel it! It's exciting but frustrating at the same time cause I just feel ''fat'' right now. Clothes are tighter, certain shirts are definitely a no go right now. I can't wait till I finally look pregnant so people don't think "hmm she is looking a bit chubby these days..."

So I posted the poll to the side, so let's see who is right when we find out! I don't know if I can hold out till the midway point to find out if a little buddy or princess is growing inside of me.

lately...

Lately I've been feeling a lot like this little guy

All I really want to do is this

Clothes are getting tighter and more uncomfortable to wear.

I'm praying and hoping my ''lady lumps'' do not become to look like these

If you haven't caught on yet.... We are expecting! 

Come November Ryan and I will be parents! We are thrilled and can't wait till our little one arrives.

Hoppy Easter!

I know cheesy title, but I couldn't come up with anything else... 

The Easter bunny made it to our place! leaving a trail of candy to our "baskets"

 Well one basket at least. Because SOMEONE may have left her basket

at her parents, so the bunny improvised with this awesome mixing bowl..
maybe a tad ghetto? but definitely creative

slumber party at uncle ry and aunt jannali's!

Ryan and I were able to have a sleep over party with 3 of my sisters kids. We ate sloppy joe's, ate popcorn and ice cream while watching ''Tangled'' (adorable movie btw) and spent the next day walking around the apartment complex enjoying the weather.

cutest lil smile right?

Hailey was a bit iffy on the ducks and geese but finally came to

like them and couldn't get enough of feeding them bread.

The weather may not entirely show it's spring but in our apartment complex you know it is here! Beautiful cherry blossoms, the water running through the creek, and every single dang morning the sound of stupid geese honking constantly. Who needs an alarm clock with they wake everyone up by 7/7:30 am.

Oh and loving that we can't go out on our porch and enjoy the warmer weather yet because our lil pigeon friends like to visit us and sit on our lights and take dumps in the corner.

Happy early one year to me!

Ryan came home the other night and told me to come in the bedroom and see what was on the bed,

I had no clue what he was talking about so I was shocked to see all of this pink when

I walked in. ''Happy early one year anniversary!"
heck yes! a new camera! Don't worry I 

reminded him he could get a me another present on our actual anniversary (jk)

 First picture playing with the camera!

Can't wait to play around with this baby and all of it's new features.

HD video so I can actually record things in our life, fancy smancy settings 

to play with. I am a very happy and lucky girl :D 

don't mind the sick picture, (and not sick as in cool, but sick as in gross)
this is right before going to bed

This weather is making me depressed! I am in major need of a vacation, when Ryan asked where I said anywhere with some sun. Do you have times where you just feel like every day is the same. I feel like I'm in the movie groundhog's day. I'm so over the doom and gloom weather.

I'm ready for 70 degree plus weather.  If only I could afford one of these pretties...

 

I'm ready to eat mouth watering watermelon and any other fruit, spring cleaning (i know right?) flip flops, smell of coconut tanning oil, swimming pools, bbq's, driving with the window down and over sized sun glasses on, no more coats! laying on the grass, tan lines, camping for a first with my husband, flowers blooming

anyone else as ready as I am?
