I'M PREGNANT!!!!!

As many as you know I'm PREGNANT! YAY we're so stinkin excited! The only down side of this is how the heck am i going to wait 9 whole months for this baby to show up!? I'm definitely wishing the stork would just bring him or her to me! Chris was the first one to find out we were pregnant. You should have seen his face. I took one of those clear blue tests that flat out says pregnant or not pregnant and set it on the sink. Chris came in and gave me a weird look while looking  at the pregnancy test behind me "Whats that!?" as the test has an hour glass spinning. All of  a sudden his eyes get HUGE "NO WAY! NO WAY, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! IT SAYS YOUR PREGNANT!!!!" I'm pretty sure we were jumping around with a smile ear to ear for the next hour until we could finally calm our self down enough to sit! In that second hour i took two more tests just to make sure, another clear blue and then a crappy dollar store test and both had the same answer! I'm having a baby. Its so weird to think there's something growing inside of me right now. I downloaded an app to my Ipod that tells me everyday/week what the baby should be looking like how much it should weight with how far along i am. It also gives me lots of facts and lets me keep track of all the things that are happening to me and i can talk to women and see whats going on with some of them. It calms my nerves when i get a little crap or something i start freaking out and think somethings wrong. So i usually look up other people who have the same things going on and find out for the most part that's pretty normal. I feel so blessed to be able to have this opportunity to raise one of our heavenly fathers children, and to have an amazing husband who loves kids and wanted some just as bad as i do. I'm so lucky he is such a sweet heart and takes care of me even when he doesn't need to. Like last night i got home from work and was really tired he made me lay down and take a nap so he could make dinner. I love him so much and I'm the luckiest person alive to have so much love in our home. I'm so excited for our future and adding one more person to our little family!

BYU football

We're gone to a few games this year and had so much fun! This last time Les Schwab gave us tickets we were three rows from the front! We could see everything it was so much fun.

Look at that view!
Chris and his friend Dallas.


Lagoon!

I've been really bad with posting. (Sorry mom) One of the things Chris and I did this summer and fall was go to Lagoon! We bought season passes and spent alot of time at lagoon-a-beach and riding roller coasters! Chris' favorite ride was the white rollercoaster. I have no idea why though i HATE that one. Its so old and rickody i'm afraid its going to fall apart. Another fun thing they do is in October they docorate the whole park for halloween! Its so cool we love going to the haunted houses and spending time together. Here are some pictures we took the last time we went.
Everyone that ran ragnar knows runnings not always good for you!

Do you remember the hole in the wall?



I'm sure you remember the hole in the wall. Well last weekend Chris decided he would try and fix it. Its a good thing too! We're about to move and i was worried it wouldn't get done and our landlord would KILL us! So i here are some pictures! Chris did an amazing job especially with out having the right tools. I love that i married a handy man!

 

The finished product! He did such a good job!

I LOVE CHANGE!

 When I moved out to Orem I worked at my apartment complex at a cleaner/whatever they wanted me to do. After some changes that were made do to mistakes made by the previous secretary I got promoted after three months of working there to Secretary. I worked with Ledgers and rent with everyone that worked there. I don't know if it's good luck for me or bad luck for everyone else I've worked with but the manager I was working with at the time had no idea what she was going. She was terrible with computers and with managing apartment. It got the point where the residents would come to me and ask me to help them with their problems because they knew if I was told something was wrong it would get done! I worked with this manager for about seven months until I was finally so sick of it that I went to the owner and explained what was going on and things that needed to be changed. Well not even a week later she was fired we had a new Manager (Who I love working with!) and I was promoted to Assistant Manager! I was getting pay raises and paid vacation my first part time job started feeling like a real career the funny thing was I didn't even apply for any of these jobs there were just given to me and offered! I've loved working with student and managing apartments. Well about a month ago David one of the owners told me about a job that was going to be opening up soon at another property they own called Alpine Court. He told me if I wanted the job as manager its mine. It would work perfect if we were planning on having a family and until then I could still work as Assistant manager at Village. I was so excited of course I wanted it! But it wasn't going to open up until May or June. I put it to the back of my mind and didn't want to get over excited because it was so far away and what if the current manager changed her mind and wanted to stay. Good news! I had my year mark (more like year and a half) review and David told me the job was available DECEMBER 3RD!!! I was so excited I think my jaw DROPPED! So I'm starting December 3rd. I'm moving into the CUTEST little house right around the corner from the complex. It has so much character and lots of storage something we don't have right now. I'm so excited and glad that they see I'm working hard and earning their respect! Below is a picture of the new place i start managing in December.

Getting crafty!

Sage you've inspired me! I've been following all of sages fun projects along with other fun craft blogs. And I've started crafting! I've made two shirts so far and love them! Here's the first shirt i made. I used this tutorial. Now keep in mind its the first shirt i did so it doesn't look exactly like the one shown. But i still love it! I'm going to make another one that looks more like the tutorial. I don't have a picture of the second shirt i made but its adorable and i love it! I'll post some later.

Now the third one isn't really my shirt. Kaylea liked these shirts so she asked me to make her one. I started with this cute yellow striped shirt. But there's not much i can do with a bunch of numbers so i had to pick off all of them! It took me almost ALL day. Good thing there was nothing to do at work that day huh.. Second i cut the neckline made it bigger and added some ruffles. To finish it off i added a flower to tie in the pink! I think it turned out pretty cute don't you!  

Its a good thing i love you...

Yes i know its been a while sense I've blogged and I'm sorry. I need to do better. So i apologize in advance because I'm going to post a bunch at the same time. Here's a fun little story. Last week Chris was in an extremely good mood. So randomly he stood up and said "I feel like climbing on the wall" Now in the back of my head all i can think about is "what is he talking about walking on the wall?" Come to find out he meant it! He put his back on one of the door frames and hes foot on the wall. And starts trying to walk up it when suddenly CRASH! i closed me eyes hoping for the best opened them again and this is what i saw.....


And there goes our deposit..... Luckily Chris has some guys he works with that's going to let him borrow some tools and fix the HUGE hole in our wall! Its a good thing i love my husband some much! There's never a dull moment in our marriage. I love so much Chris!

Happiest time of our lifes!

Life has been CRAZY!!! Chris and I were married a little over a month ago! It was such a great day! Very stress free (For me any way... i feel bad for my poor mom who had to deal with EVERYTHING!) We were married at 11:00am in the Salt lake temple it was beautiful! My grandpa Wright preformed the sealing and it was such an amazing experiance! It was so nice to see all my family and friends that could be there! After the wedding we took pictures for two hours! But it was well worth it because the pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL!

 We had a yummy lunch at sizzler and went to our reception which NEVER ended! We were planning on standing in line for an hour. But the line NEVER ENDED! We hardly had any time to cut the cake! We didnt get any food. So once we left to our hotel we stopped off at Del Taco! Our honey moon was so much fun! We stayed in the anniversary inn for the first night in the Phantom of the Opera room. Then flew off to disneyland!
We had such a good honeymoon! We have so many people to thank! Chris' brother Jon paid for our plan tickets to california so we wouldn't have to drive! My parents paid and made all of the hotel arangments! My uncle david was so sweet and gave us a very generous gift for us to use at disneyland and let us in two days in a row! And everyone that gave us money to help us with the costs of eating and just having fun. We didnt have to worry about anything! Thank you everyone for all you did for us! We had such a good time at Disneyland. The biggest suprise to me was chris had NEVER been in a rollarcoaster! So you can bet i had a fun with with that! The first ride we went on was Tower of Terror. It was so fun and once we got off chris was seriously shaking! The picture on the left has to be by favorite picture of chris on the rides!  Disneyland was PERFECT! The weather was around 70 degrees the whole time. All of the rides had about a 10 minute wait. and the only reason it was 10 minutes was because we had to walk through everthing to get to the rides! And once we were in line it only took two minutes to get on the ride! We rode space mountain and indiana jones at lease 20 times! We got to eat at the pirates of the carabian restraunt. It was so cool. Chris forgot we were inside a couple time. He kept telling me how nice of a night was. I had to remind him we're inside the pirates ride. Another fun dinner we went to was the rain forest cafe. It was so fun! There were giant fish tanks and different plants every where! We had the best time and we're so greatful that we could go and enjoy being married. We cant wait to go back!

I murdered my fish....

Chris has a huge fish tank that is FULL of gold fish. And as a lot of you may know gold fish are really dirty! We decided to get rid of them and buy new cleaner fish. So our fish tank now consists of two molly fish one black and one yellow, two neon fish that are TINY and super fast, and lastly we decided to keep one of our white gold fish.

When we first got the fish my FAVORITE was the little yellow molly, because every time you go up to the fish tank it would swim up and follow your finger if you put it up against the glass. But the Black molly was such a jerk! Occasionally he would start fights with all of the fish. I didn’t think much of it, I figured he was just adjusting to his new home. But a few days past and it got worse! He was constantly chasing all the other fish. The once friendly fish who would follow my finger was now cowering in the top corner of the fish tank, and even still the black molly would chase her!

I got so frustrated with him that I finally took him out of the fish tank and in to a green cup where he wouldn’t be able to see any of the other fish. Yes that’s right I put my fish in time out! Just like your parents had you put your nose in the corner for ten minutes I put my fish in a cup for a whole day and thought it would teach him a lesson.

So the next morning i dumped him back into the fish tank. I thought he had learned his lesson. But when I got back from work later that day he was doing it AGAIN! What a jerk! So I took the little net we have and chased him with it until i thought he was as terrified as the other fish and then I proceeded to put him in time out again. After two hours of solitary confinement I again dumped him into the fish tank while Chris and I went to dinner.

When we came home he was fighting with my white gold fish! And worse the gold fish was now bleeding!! I felt so bad for him and I was SOOO Sick of this jerk I took the little net scooped out that black jerk and headed to his worst nightmare! The bathroom toilet! As I was standing by the toilet I looked at the fish and asked him any last words! He looked up at me almost egging me on! Yes that’s right i dropped him in the toilet and flushed him!!! Some may say it was murder but in my defense he was in water and he was alive when I flushed him. GOOD RIDDENS! So now I’m free of that black molly. The yellow molly has started to come up to the tank and follow my finger again. And all is good again!

So if anyone ever wants to get a fish DONT get a black molly. I've posted a picture below of what they look like.

Our sunday adventure!

On Saturday we were shopping for our Sunday dinner and desert. We decided we hadn't had brownies and ice in such a long time and just thinking about them made my mouth water. We bought all the thing was needed so we would be okay for Sunday. after church on Sunday we can back from church and made dinner and tried to start dessert. But there was a big thing we found out we were missing. We didn't have a mixing bowl! And the pot we would have used was already full of stew for dinner! So we had to be creative and find the only other thing big enough to mix it in. Here are a few pictures. I thought it was pretty funny!






After dinner I was eating the left over brownie batter. And asked Chris said he wanted some but after I gave him the whisk things got a little out of hand ha ha!



Needless to say we're very unique in our cooking techniques!

I'm going to start blogging again!

I've been told by my mom i need to blog. So i'm going to do my best! As most of you know i'm ENGAGED!!! I'm getting married Febuary 27th to Chris Hoskings and i'm so excited! We just got all of our engagments done and they turned out awesome! Amber did such a good job. You cant tell it was FREEZING when we did the shoot. Here are a few pictures.







I also moved out of my apartment and into the apartment we'll be living in. Its 2 bedroom one bath. And i love it so far! The only down side is we have no internet or cable! We were able to save up enough money and get our couch which we brought home yesterday. Its so nice to have a little bit of furnature. But we still need all of our bedroom furnature and things to make it feel like home. I had no idea how many things to had to buy when you get married! Even little things like forks and spoons. Lucky for us theres a DI right down the street i could pick up a few things untill we save up enough money for everthing and in the mean time i was able to take one of the mattresses from the apartment complex i help manage.

Its really fun getting everthing going with the weddings and pretty much starting my new life. But then again i'm not really doing any of the hard stuff. I have to give that credit to my mom and everyone helping her! She's so great i've been so busy with work that with out her this weddings would never get planned! So thanks so much mom!
