Updates Coming Soon!

Alright I know our blog has been extremely boring, but don't worry I will be working on updates this weekend.

It's A Boy!

So we went to the doctor yesterday and found out we are having a baby boy. Pretty exciting! I've always wanted lots of boys so we are off to a good start. Our little guy is extremely active and is apparently happy to be alive. Buying blue is going to be a whole new experience for me.

$Have you ever held a $600 purse? I have$

So last night I went to a party over at Sarah Ames house. I had a great time hanging out with girls. I even bought myself a Salt City Candle, Vanilla Spice. As we were getting close to leaving, Mackenzie went to get her purse and Sarah asked her if it was new. To make a long story short, yes the purse is new and it is adorable. We after much questioning, Mackenzie finally told us how much the purse cost, $603! I was dying. I have a hard time spending $30 for a purse. I just HAD to touch the purse and hold it. I was worried I would do something to it. I was giving it a lot of TLC. Man I felt high class holding that purse. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to hold your purse Mackenzie!!!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

So last year we went and cut down our own Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving with Chill's family. It was so much fun and we decided we needed to do it again this year. In order to cut the tree down you have to have a permit. We needed three permits (Chill's parents and brother were out of town) so we made my brother Brent come with us. They only allow one permit per person. Very strict!!! We left the house at 5:30 a.m. and drove to Soldier Hollow in Midway. We got there at about 6:20 a.m. and had to wait in line for over an hour and a half. They open the doors and start selling the permits at 8:00 a.m. You had to get there early though to get a good place in line. It was a little chilly and I was exhausted, but it wasn't that bad. We finally made it through the line and were out of there by about 8:30. I know we'll be happy when we have a "Special" Christmas Tree again this year.

Our first Christmas Tree, isn't it cute?

It really wasn't this cold, but I went prepared for anything. I was acutally burning up under all my layers!!

If my husband won't support me...the GOVERNMENT will!!!

Okay so the good news of the day is that we got accepted for medicaid. We had to jump through a lot of hoops to get approved, but we finally did. You have to pretty much give your blood in order to get approved. Okay not really, but because I have two jobs it complicated things a little. I was stressed because we started getting our Dr. bills from our first appointments and I was not sure how we were going to pay them. We want to thank everyone that "made" us apply. I was afraid that I was just making WAY too much money. Apparenty not! Life is good and now we can get that big screen t.v. we've always wanted.

I'm Getting Bigger!!!

Okay so I have been loving life that I can still wear most of my clothes. I thought by now I would have just popped. I thought I was hiding it pretty well until I went to work and one of the secretaries said, "you're totally showing" I ran and looked in the mirror and I just look fat. I know I am totally in that awkward phase where people wonder if I am fat or pregnant. Oh well. Anyway after work I made Mindi take a picture of me so I could get a better view. I think the picture makes me look bigger than I am, but I'm still starting to show....barely! Ha Ha

Back to the Books

So we have been trying to enjoys our weekends as best we can during Chill's Psychiatry rotation. He's had every weekend off which has been really nice. He starts his next rotation on November 5th at Huntsman. He is going to be doing his Oncology rotation which he is really excited about. He'll be back on a crazy schedule again which is hard to get used to, but we survive. Because his rotation is almost over, he has been hitting the books again for his test that he has to take at the end of the week. We were able to go out with some friends Friday night to Rodizio Grill and then we headed up to Park City to watch Warren Miller's Playground. I had never seen a Warren Miller film before and I thought it was awesome. We had a great time and it was fun to be with our friends. On Saturday we relaxed most of the day and then I cleaned the house while he studied. He was very content sitting on the couch, studying while eating Dill Pickle Spitz. What more could a boy ask for. We didn't have plans Saturday night so we decided we'd spend it at Barnes and Noble. Chill really wanted to find a book he could read on Sunday afternoons. I spend most of my time looking at parenting books and what not and he spent his time looking for "the book" to read. Chill ended up with Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life by C.S. Lewis. That should keep him busy for maybe a day or two. I bought a book called The Preschooler's Busy Book: 365 Creative Games and Activities to Keep Your 3-6 Year Old Busy! It was on clearence so I thought I'd buy it. I won't be able to use it now, but it should come in handy down the road a few years. (Nat I got you a copy too) We had a great time and it was nice spending time together while we can.
