We've been keeping a secret...

I think it's safe to tell now though.

(preggers)

That's right! We're going to have a wee baby! I'm about 3 months along now. (Due late June or Early July)

We still haven't been to the doctor yet. I don't have insurance until February, so for now, we're just reading the signs. I've been super tired and nauseated for the past 2 months, but it's starting to go away now. I was supposed to go the doctor on Monday, but they cancelled on me when I got there! To get validation that the baby was in there still, I took this pregnancy test and took a picture this time. 

We're incredibly scared and excited all at the same time.

Christmas Festivities

Christmas this year was nice. We had both our families close by so we spent time with both. On Christmas Eve I worked, but after work Keith and I went to visit my brother and sister in law - Mike and Megan. We ate lasagna, opened presents and enjoyed each others' company.

On Christmas morning Keith and I went to church. I was kinda unhappy about waking up so early, but it was totally worth it. We listened to some great talks, and sang Christmas Hymns. After church Keith and I caught up with some friends visiting the ward, including Eric and Kim Dudley (who are expecting a baby now!). It was a nice Christmas morning.

After church Keith and I got ready to go to his parents house. Everyone was all dressed up and we all looked so classy! We took some family pictures opened presents like that, and then we changed into our pajamas and played games. We also got to watch some of their old home videos and that was a riot! The ones we watched were from when Keith was a teenager, so we didn't see much of him, but it was fun to watch the kids when they were little. lol


When I was looking at the second picture tonight, I realized that we had a similar picture taken a long time ago.

Look how young we are! Crazy.

Another year older.

My birthday was the 13th. I did most of my celebrating on the weekend before though. On Friday, Keith's family had dinner celebration for all the people who have birthdays on the last half of the year. Keith's grandmother (Nana) took us all to the Olive Garden. On Sunday we had a birthday party for Nana and I at Keith's family's house. Nana's birthday is the 12th, so we shared the celebration.

On the 12th Keith took me to the Hard Rock Cafe downtown (just like old times) and we had an enormous amount of food. It was kinda sad though, because they are remodeling the Hard Rock so we weren't able to sit in our normal spot (or even recognize it!). I had been working all day, so I was pretty tired and just wanted to go home and relax.

I had to work on my birthday, which was a huge bummer, but it wasn't a terrible day. I got to sleep in, and when I woke up, I woke up to this bad boy:



So far, I love it. It's super fast and it's got a webcam built in! I have an external webcam for my old one, so this is exciting to me. My old laptop is falling apart. It's 6 years old. The screen is falling off and it started leaking! No bueno. So Keith let me get a new computer. It's beautiful. I'm using it right now!

Keith's New Jobby

Keith has a job now! He works with me at Hobby Lobby! hahaha we're back to where we started.
Last week my boss was talking to me before I left to go home and asked me what Keith was up to these days (Keith had introduced himself a couple of months earlier and mentioned he might need a job if things don't work out with the job he was with). I said "nothing" and he asked if Keith wanted to work in the home accents department. I laughed and said "no, I don't think he would like that".
You see, that's the department I was working in before I quit the first time, so he knows what it's like to work with the lady who works there. I told this to my boss, but said I would ask him anyway.
As I was leaving the building, Keith was there to greet me. So I had him talk to my boss and Keith left him with an "I'll think about it".
The next morning he was working there. It was super quick! We had talked about it the night before, and decided that if anything, it was a great temporary job. My boss was so desperate for him to work there that he told him he could stay until something else came along. Also, he's full time. It's kind of a big deal.
So far it's been weird seeing him around work, but it's kinda like how it was when we first got married and worked together. It's fun.

We're pretty excited about something else...

We're going to Disney World next month! Yayayayayaa!!

After the Christmas season I'll definitely need a break from work, and Disney World makes me sooooooo happy! It pretty much gets me through hard days already. Just knowing that in a month we'll be there. Ahh...

We were going to go on a Disney Cruise, but I was too late in deciding and getting time cleared, that I missed that opportunity. So now we're just going to hang out at Disney World for a week and just take it easy. Maybe next year we'll go on a cruise.

We're still planning on moving back to Florida. It will probably be by the end of next year. At least that's the plan for now. We'll see if things change...
