I don't know why...

Chris and I have decided that Heavenly Father must be expecting A LOT from us because He truly has blessed us with more than we ever imagined! Sometimes it feels like we're never going to be able to repay Him even for what He's given us so far. We both have secure jobs, we're able to go to school, we have the promise of being together forever, and of course we feel so blessed to be adding to our little family and that things are going well in the pregnancy. And now, He's blessed us to be able to afford to buy a house. We got the good news on Tuesday that the bank accepted our offer and that we now will get a place of our own! Really the timing couldn't be better because after two years of extrememly quite neighbors, a new neighbor moved in who has a drum set and plays all day until about 11:30pm, which wouldn't be that bad...if he weren't a beginner...practice makes perfect right? Anwyay, we have jsut been in awe at the blessings that we have received and how much He has guided our lives. We're ready and willing to do whatever He needs us to. Where much is given...right? :)
We are absolutly thrilled and can't wait until we get to move in. We are closing on March 26th. I can hardly wait. Our little apartment that we have now has been wonderful for us, and we really have loved living there and have so many wonderful memories! But with Boston coming we are running out of room, and just need a little more space. We weren't planning on buying a house for another couple years, but things have just fallen into place for us so we decided to try. We spend hundreds of hours looking at Town houses and houses all over Utah County. We found a house in Lehi, and put in an offer...and thank heavens we were outbid. I'm so glad we didn't get that house. A few days later we found a house in an amazing neighborhood in Saratoga Springs and we put in an offer on that one...we still haven't heard anything back. lol. We were frustrated and so tired of looking, and then Chris found a house a street away from the one we were waiting to hear back from. I was working, so he went with a couple friends to check it out. When he got home that night he told me that if I were out of the country he would feel great about making an offer. He said it was his favorite house out of everything we'd seen...and we'd seen a lot of houses.
We went back the next week to see if we could see it, but the family is still living there. So we knocked on the door and pretended like we were looking in the neighborhood for a house and just wanted to get some of the neighbors opinions on how they liked the area. We talked with the guy for a while, and he let us in for a minute to give us his realator's card who was selling their house. So I got to take a really quick peek at the main floor...but other than that all I've seen are the pictures online. lol. Chris has good taste so if he says I would love it, then I believe him. lol. I'm just happy that everything has worked out so well! I'm so EXCITED!

Valentines Day

This Valentines day was really nice, different, but nice.
Around 4:00 am I woke up and could not go back to sleep. After a pointless hour of trying I decided to just get and start my day. After takeing a shower and getting mostly ready I started to make Chris breakfast. He had said that he had never had breakfast in bed before, and since he's impossible to shop for food is usually the best thing you can get him. lol.While I was cooking in the kitchen his breakfast surprise he came walking sleepily downstairs. He said he couldnm't sleep anymore without me, so he laid down on the couch and just hung out with me while I cooked. I sent Chris back upstairs when his valentines day breakfast was ready. I made french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and had a bowl of fresh fruit all ready to go on our new breakfast tray. We made it through breakfast without spilling almost anything.

We left to Salt Lake around 8am for my cousin Christy's Wedding.It was a beautiful ceremony, and Christy and James are so perfect for each other. They were sealed by Elder Scott, and it was cute, after giving them some advice he asked "do you have any questions of me?" The look on their faces was priceless. I mean what would you ask if you had the opportunity to ask an apostle of the Lord anything you wanted. lol. After the ceremony we all stood outside in the snow taking family pictures for what felt like an hour. I made the bad decision of wearing open toed high heels. Needless to say my feet were freezing and killing me. Because they had their reception the night before we were finished and home by 4pm. We both weren't feeling very good so we went to bed and slept until 7pm. We considered going out but didn't feel like waiting forever for a table. So we went to the mall, got some flamming wok and an orange Julius, went home and watched the all star slam dunk contest.

So that was our Valentines day. it was really low key, but exactly what we wanted.

The Best Two Years

Today is our two year anniversary. I couldn't let it pass by without saying it really has been the best two years of my life! Chris is such a blessing in my life. He is so patient when I'm not, he can always make me laugh, and he knows when all I need is a hug and 15 minutes with him. Heavenly Father really blessed me when he brought Chris into my life. I love you der!
