It's a BOY!

We had our 20 week ultrasound today! I was so excited I was up at 6 this morning! It felt like Christmas morning! I went into work and left a half hour early because I just couldn't wait! We couldn't see the baby very well in the last ultrasound because I was only 10 weeks along so this was amazing! It was so cool to see all of the bones and organs. I was trying not to cry so the technician didn't think I was crazy. We both saw that it was going to be a boy before she announced it but we weren't positive. Then she said, "Well he isn't hiding anything!" We were so happy! Jared even gave me a high five! HA! I have been having crazy dreams about having a boy lately and now we really are! We still aren't set on a name. I am.... but Jared isn't so sure about it. We'll just see about that! :) Here are some of our ultrasound pictures:



He kept hiding his face so this was the best we could get.... he looks a little frightening but I'm sure he'll cuten up?

It's a boy! :)

This is kind of confusing and we wouldn't have been able to tell what it was without being told. Over on the left are his legs. He was crossing them like a gentlemen! I couldn't believe how much he moves! He is wild!

Cute little profile! His arms were up by his face the whole time!

Halloween 2009!

On Halloween Eve, our friends Paul and Marin invited us to a party. We got our costumes all ready the night before. I LOVE Halloween festivities so we were so excited! There were a few other couples there and we played some fun games and watched a movie!

Here are our lovely costumes! I didn't think of how we would attach the "thing" logos so we had to modge podge them on at the last minute! You could smell us from a mile away!

We won the best costumes award!

Apartment 2!

After we came back from Minnesota, we found this little townhouse to live in while we were driving around Logan. We have a fun ward and it is not too far of a drive to school! When we moved in I had a super strong sense of smell because I was pregnant and the carpet just freaked me out for some reason. I just don't do well with old carpet!! We are hoping to get new carpet before the baby comes. I just don't know how long I can take it! :) (You'll have to ignore the Halloween decor!)

The first apartment!

I decided it would be fun for our kids to look at this someday and laugh at where we first lived after we were married! Jared moved into this apartment two months before we were married and we stayed there until we moved to Minnesota. We absolutely loved it! Sure, it was old and our washer and dryer were pretty much in our kitchen, but it was our first little place together! We were pretty excited to only have to pay $450/month for a place to live!



The bathroom! (The shower/tub had didn't need a curtain because it had a partially see through door..... yikes!)

The laundry room which was really in the pantry....

Extra room turned office/exercise room!

Living room!

Our lovely bedroom....with burnt rust colored carpet! :)

The new job...

This week I will be starting my job as a treadmill tester at Icon Fitness. My best friend Nikki worked there, testing out the exercise equipment before she had her baby and gave her boss my name. She called me last week and asked if I would like the job! I will work a whopping 2 hours a day, Monday-Friday testing exercise equipment! I guess this will be my way to stay in better shape until this baby comes out! :) We love Icon!

Halloween Party!!

Jared has been one busy boy with working and going to school full time so I decided to throw him a Halloween party when he got home from work last weekend. He probably thought I was a little crazy but I love Halloween! Here are a few of the things that went down:

My pumpkin!

Jare's pumpkin!

We made/decorated sugar cookies!

We ate mummy pizzas!

We ate mummy dogs! (We also had a few other creepy Halloween dishes that Jared was very impressed with!)

Jared won pin the nose on the jack-0-lantern! Since he won he picked the last activity which was watching the Addam's Family to put us in the Halloween Spirit! :)

Workin' 9 to 5!

After we got back from Minnesota, Jared and I both had jobs working for Middle Schools with resource students. It was really nice to be able to see each other so much because we were both only working part-time, but we realized we needed to be earning more money to have our baby! Jared had been applying for a lot of jobs as soon as we moved to Logan. He had a few interviews at Icon Fitness to be one of the two Sales Representatives for Latin America. They told him he would know if he got the job within about a week. Well a month past, so he took the job with the school district and randomly got a phone call to come into Icon and meet with the man who interviewed him. He told Jared they had interviewed a dozen people after him who were graduated and had open schedules but they still wanted him! We were so excited!! They work great with his schedule, offer full benefits, and let us work out there for free! Jared has loved being able to use his Spanish at work. It is really busy and he works some long days but we are so blessed. It is an awesome company to work for. They control 61% of the exercise equipment market! He is going to be able to do some traveling (which I'm not too excited about, unless I get to go). I am so proud of him! He deserves a great job!





I, on the other hand, quit my job. I know, lazy! It was really early in the mornings and I just flat out hated it. There were some nice people I worked with, but some of the students were just makin' me crazy! Camille has taught me some of her skills of selling cute clothes and Pottery Barn items on ebay. I love it!! I pick my own hours, and it is addicting! I have sold quite a bit so far and need to stock up on some more to sell. It is really nice to stay at home and wear sweat pants too. :) I try to doll myself up really quick before Jared gets home!

Life is great and we feel so blessed to have the work that we do!
