A Winter in Portland

At BYU-Idaho they have a system with three semesters and they only assign you two, so me and Michael are on the Fall/Spring Semester and have our off track in the Winter semester.  Now that we are married, we spend the winter in Portland.  This was my first winter away from Driggs and Rexburg.  It was also my first time being away from home this long, so I was worried that I would have a hard time adjusting.

Our winter semester in Portland was a lot of fun.  I also got a job at a gym called Club Sport and worked at the juice bar for them. It was so nice because I also got a free membership, so it was nice to have a place to workout at when it was freezing out side. I loved that job though it was a really good one for three months. I hope that I can go back to it someday even if it is as a personal trainer.

We did a lot of fun things while in Portland we went to 3 Blazer games and 1 Hockey game. We got to go up to the beach house in Washington where we had our honeymoon, it was a lot colder though, so we didn't get to do much, but it was still a lot of fun.  While in Oregon we got news that my grandpa past away, so me and Michael drove up to see my family in Moses Lake.  We also stopped in Seattle to do some site seeing which was a lot of fun.  When we got to Moses Lake it was so good to see my mom and my sisters, I was starting to have a hard time without my family, so it was good to see them.

Here are some pictures for part of our Winter break.











We also got to see the premiere of Hunger Games, which was a midnight showing, we had a lot of fun and loved watching all the crazy people around us and what they dressed up like.  It was a good movie, but the book of course was a lot better.  One last big thing that we did before we left Oregon was babysat the bishops kids(the Dickson's).  They have 5 boys all under the age of 13, so there was never a dull moment. I actually had a lot of fun the whole time.  The kids are really good, they listen to everything you say and they a lot of fun to play with.
Here are some pictures of the boys we watched.



The two boys names that are missing is Tyler's and Cole, they are in the I love you picture though.

We got to spend Easter with them to is was so fun hiding there baskets and having an Easter Sunday lesson for them to do. We also went over to Michael's house and had Easter dinner and they got to go find more eggs, so I think Easter was a success for them.






 Play Time!









We had such a good time in our off track and barely made it with out my family! I am excited to go back and have more experiences with my wonderful husband.  ps we also did go you San Francisco, so look for that in my next blog.

Two Down and Eternity to Go

    This year we decided to do something simple for our anniversary  All I knew for this anniversary is that we were going to eat somewhere in downtown Salt Lake.   To my surprise I have the most brilliant husband ever because he took me to my most favorite restaurant ever!!    Cheesecake Factory!  Don't ask me why, but it is the best restaurant ever! I know you might be thinking.  "wow this girl is crazy",  but just trust me nothing can beat The Cheesecake Factory.   My favorite's there are:  Avocado eggrolls and sweetcorn tamale cakes for appetizers.   For the dinner plate their garlic noodles with shrimp and some parmesan on top.  Then of course for dessert I love love love there ultimate red velvet cheesecake and their Oreo one is pretty good as well. Anytime we go somewhere new and they have a cheesecake factory we have to go.   It is my goal to go to as many as I can in my li...

OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN IS DUE MAY 9, 2015

Yup you read that right we are having a baby, May 9, 2015!! I surprised Michael by sending him a picture of my pregnancy test. So when he woke up that was the first thing he saw. I did the same with my mom because I needed her guidance on what I needed to do. It was defiantly killing her to not be able to tell anyone the news, but I definitely appreciate all the advice I have gotten as well as another person to talk to about it. We were so excited when we found out, we just wanted to tell everyone right away, but we waited and learned patience. I would have been so heart broken to have to tell everyone if we had a miscarriage. When we found out I was pregnant, I was 5 weeks along, so for my first appointment they had to take a blood test.  For those of you who know me, know that I do not do well  with needles and veins in the same sentence. As you can imagine I did not do well.   I kept moving an...
