!Bienvenidos Hermana Nava!

Welcome Home Cami!!! One of my very best friends came home from her mission in Chicago on Thursday. It was so good to see her on Sunday! Cami and I have known each other since before we can remember...we went to preschool together, we were each others first enemies in second grade, we rode bikes together, we played jr. jazz bball together, we walked to YW's together, we were doubles partners in tennis, went to college together, and have made a lifetime of wonderful memories. I don't have a scanner so I resorted to taking pics of pics...not the best method for high quality...but they're pics of my bff nonetheless! Here's to you CC!

I seriously can't believe I posted this pic... one of the ugliest of our times!!!

Life as we now know it...

WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!! September 5th is the due date. Here's a pic of the gummi-bear, the biggest circle is the head, the smallest circles are the arms, and the other one is the "nub"...ha! I'm 11 weeks and I have been so wonderfully lucky to have not been sick one little bit!

We're in Colorado visiting Marc's dad. Friday we went skiing, Kelly hasn't hit the slopes in two years, but you would never know! His form is so precise! The conditions were perfect for a wonderful day of fun!This is what Marc does while Kelly and I ooh and ahh and take the pics. As long as he's on a board or ski's he'll never be too old for these tricks! I'm just glad he didn't brake any ribs this time...:)

Valentine's Day was certainly one to remember! We went to the VFW (veterans of foreign wars somethin' somethin') dinner and dance. It was pretty much a nursing home, but a party one at that! Marc and I were the youngest by at least 20 years!

PROOF!!! Marc is actually dancing! That's right, we are on a dance floor doing the sway. I made sure Kelly got a pic of this! Kelly danced with me and Roberta danced with Marc to teach us some groovy moves. We got the two-step down! We had a blast!

These are the beautiful flowers from the most wonderful man in the world! I love Marc so much! He truly is my dream come true. I could've never imagined a better man to be with for eternity. I look forward to every day with him. I am so comforted to know that he'll be such an amazing dad, Happy Valentines Day Sweetheart!

We're Alive!!!

So I know many of you have been wondering if we're alive, and yes, we are! A few reasons for no blogging 1) the internet is down at our place 2) we were striving to survive the last few weeks of school, and 3) I've started reading Harry Potter! I've been looking forward to reading Harry Potter 1-7 continuously for about 6 months now. Of course I had to wait until I was graduated otherwise it just wouldn't happen, and now I'm graduated! Well, not really. I'm done with school but I won't be "graduated" till Spring. WooHoo! I finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone yesterday and started Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets today... what a wonderful life!

Much has happened, and many pictures have been taken, and I do plan to post about significant events in the last couple months, but until then, here's a sneak peak: I ran my first 5K on Thanksgiving (which was really 5 MILES!!!), we were stranded in Deer Lodge, Montana, Marc turned the big 2 5, and we went to an ugly sweater Christmas party...

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (Perhaps I'll post again before then, but no promises!)

Wickedly Spooktacular Halloween!

Well, I'm well aware that Halloween was a mere 12 days ago, better late than never! I spend just about every waking moment trying to unbury myself from the pressures this semester so frequently provides! From Resveratrol to Celiac Disease, and High Fructose Corn Syrup to South Korea, well, let's just say this is my life in a nut shell!

Halloween...we had an awesome Halloween full of good food, good friends, cool costumes, and fun family! We attended some pretty sweet parties as well as hosted one of our own at none other than the MORTUARY! Marc and Richard lead tours through the scariest place on earth, the MAUSALEUM! It's where people are in caskets out of ground...thanks to our awesome neighbors and best buds Rich and Rach for planning it in such short time!

I don't know why some of the pictures are sideways...all the costumes were so creative I had to post pics of all of 'em! Enjoy! Rich and Rach are missing in action...check out their blog linked Rich and Rach for their awesome polygamist pics...:)

The Wonderful World of Disney!

Well, as you know, we just went to DISNEYLAND and had the most magical time ever to be had! We left early saturday morning and came home wednesday evening. Saturday we just struggled to manage our way from the airport to the hotel...what an adventure! Saturday night we had a girls night out (thanks to my wonderful mother in law:)and went to the all amazing WICKED musical! It was so awesome! I've been lucky enough to have seen it twice now, and I could see it a million times more! Sunday we went to the beach. I'm always amazed at the beautiful waves... then Monday brings us to CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE!!! This was my first time here, and it was so fun! Some classic favorite rides/moments: tower of terror, soarin' over california, toy story mania, california screamin', and of course the pixar parade. When California Adventure closed we headed over to Disneyland to catch the magical parade. I loved the parade! Tuesday we spent most of our day at Disneyland. Cherished moments include: matterhorn, space mountain, indiana jones, splash mountain, pirates of the carribean, big thunder, jungle cruise, getting free mickey mouse hats, and Toon Town (so cool!) where we met Mickey. Our niece Abby just turned 4 and she was so fun, I’m excited to take our little ones one day! Wednesday we celebrated my brother in law Kody's birthday (Happy Birthday Kody!) with a makeshift cake and candles, then we headed for the airport and flew home. I can't wait to go back, I love Disneyland so much more now that I'm older! Enjoy some pics below of our magical moments at Disneyland! (Alyssa, notice I didn’t do a slideshow... just for you:)
