A New Addition

Justin and I are pleased to announce, there will be a new little addition, coming to our family approximately, October 6th.

We found out tonight, January 30th, that we are pregnant. We had planned on waiting a few years to have children. But, obviously God wants what he wants for us. We already love our little bundle of joy.

Basically how we found out that we were pregnant was, for the past week and a half my boobs have been really sore (I know a little tmi, but it's part of the journey, right?) Then, on Saturday, I realized I was 4 days late. That was the sign that put us over the edge. I usually am like "clock work", last month I was 3 days late, which was odd, so I figured if I don't start tomorrow (Sunday) then we needed to take a test on Monday morning. Well, tonight, Sunday night, when I still hadn't started yet, Justin freaked out and went and got 2 tests. I took one and it said positive. I walked out of the bathroom IN SHOCK and told Justin. Right then, I just started bawling! Justin held me and told me everything was going to be ok. I don't know if I was crying because I was upset, shocked, happy, or all of the above. We each called one friend and talked to them, and they calmed both of us down. Then, it was time to call our parents.

We're waiting to "tell the world", we're still freaking out, but we're really excited!

people who make me want to barf and punch people in the face

So, people have been driving me CRAZY lately, and I don't know if it's because people are really dumb or if I am just becoming a lot more intolerant. Here's a list of things that people do that really irritate me!

1. when people who get pregnant who have stated several times previously that they can't stand children, especially when I have several other friends who LOVE children and cannot have them for one reason or another.

2. when people who NEVER liked sports (except golf, but that's not really a sport) are into decorating their children's room in sports. Wth? If you never liked sports and I highly doubt you would be the kind of person who would put your children in sports, WHY would you decorate in sports?

3. when people who don't know what they're talking about try to correct you, when you're doing it the right way to begin with.

4. when all people do on their blog is complain (yes, I realize that's what i'm doing right now. but why have a blog JUST to complain about everything going on in your life and the world. if it's that bad, fix it!)

5. when everyone tries to tell me a. I'm too young to be married b. that marriage is hard c. that I need to wait as long as possible to have children d. that I need to have children as soon as possible (I think when we're ready, we'll make that decision without your help)

6. when people tell you you're doing an awesome job at work and then cut your hours

7. when people think that they can use all the same things you used for your wedding, as theirs. I mean, I put the work in, I think if you want to use it, you should pay me to be your wedding consultant

8. people treating me like crap when I've apologized for something I didn't even do

Basically, I'm just tired of people. I'm glad for myself (and for the rest of the population of West Jordan) that I have 2 more days off. So, maybe I'll be able to chill out and be more tolerant. Who knows, I can't promise anything.

writers block

I hate this, when I feel like I have to write something, but can't think of anything to write.

So, I guess I'll just write what's on my mind...

I love my husband so much. He's amazing and super sweet to me. He takes care of me and makes sure that I'm happy. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. I can't believe that I'm lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! The past year has been quite the interesting year for me. Who would've thought on January 1, 2010, I would be where I am today. I definitely wouldn't have. But, I LOVE where I am and I wouldn't change anything that happened in the past year.
