FINALLY!

So for those of you who may not know......We are adopting! Yipee!!!!! Aaron was dropping me off at school after my lunch break and we recieved the much anticipated phone call. So on 10/24/2008 at 12:36 Aaron and I found out we are adopting a baby boy in January. January 18th to be more specific, but who knows if it will be a little sooner. I am so excited. I had to go back to work after I found out and told all of my coworkers. They were so thrilled for me. Of course I called my parents and my sisters first. I haven't called everyone in my family yet but it has been kind of a crazy day. When I ended the phone call with our case worker I just started bawling. Tears of joy of course! My sister is having a baby in early January so the two babies will be very close in age. How cool. I always thought it would be cool to have a baby the same time as one of my siblings and now it may actually happen. WOW! As always there is a risk with adoption. But my wonderful friends (thanks Dot and Kara) and family reminded me that there is a risk with regular pregnancy too. I really feel that I deserve to be excited and also nervous that everything will go okay (just like a mom who is having her own baby biologically). Anyway we have less than three months to get ready! CRAZY. Luckily we have lots of infant and 0-3 months baby boy clothes, a crib, stroller, car seat, toys, blankets, and some other random stuff already. Well I guess we will see if I can patiently for three months. Yah Right!

Busy, Busy, BUSY!

Do you ever have these moments when you seem to be busy every night and yet nothing ever seems to get accomplished? My week was so busy and I didn't get anything done, but it was really fun.

Last weekend: I went to Rawlins to watch my little brother play some football and of course his team won. It was really fun but really cold. Laramie was pretty warm and so Aaron and I left with out any warm clothes. Luckily Aaron's sister Jenna and her Husband let us borrow their jackets. After the game we visited Jenna and her two little ones and then we visit Camille and Leah (this is aarons brothers wife and daughter). I was so good to see everyone. We went back to Laramie and just chilled the rest of the week. Sunday I went over to some friends house and had some really good desserts and just chatted.


During the week: Well I had to work. I still like my job! Afterwork on monday i had to attend a blood borne pathagens training and then went home and cleaned. Aaron Has been working like mad painting our apartment complex (for a little extra dough) and so he was busy with that all week. He did take Thursday off to go to my sister heathers special olympic Dinner. Kind of a tradition now. It has been the third year in a row that we have got to attend. So Thursday was really busy. Before the dinner I had a relief society meeting and then the dinner and then home to prepare for our new weekly "Office Party" a few friends from our ward came over to watch "The Office". Last sunday we all started talking about how much we loved the show and we made plans to have goodies and watch the show together. It was a blast and we hung out way past our bedtimes. Just to show how much we like the show Monday aaron and I watched season one of the office for our Family Home Evening. Friday was date night for us and we went to eat at the best Thai food restaurant - Anongs. I had Pad Thai and Aaron had a Yellow curry. We shared poststickers for and appetizer and fried bananas for dessert( is this with one s or two?). Anyway, I know we did some other stuff in between but not much worth mentioning.


This weekend: Saturday Aaron went to the Utah vs. Wyoming game and..... we lost but he still enjoys going to the games. I stayed home (no way do I want to freeze my butt off to watch a sport I dont typically enjoy). I actually had to prepare a Relief Society lesson. I stayed home to do that and just watched a movie. Later that night we went to visit our good friends Brandon and Dot and thier two adorable boys. We had not seen them in a while and it was fun to visit and then play some games. I was wide awake when I came home at 11 pm and thought it would be fun to watch a newly purchased dvd (short circuit 2). Some movies are funnier late at night. I had not seen that movie in years. I went to bed at 1:30 thinking -I am going to regret this. Luckily sunday(today) I went to sacrament meeting and the rest of the meetings were canceled after sacrament meeting. Our Gym floor just got refinished the varnish smell was so strong that several people were not feeling well. I really didnt notice it until they opened the overflow and the smell just flooded in. It didnt give me a headache, But I did notice it bothered some of the pregnant moms and older people- so I think it was a wise choice. I didnt have to give my lesson in relief society- I guess I will save it for January. So I went home at nine sunday morning (yes we have 8 am church) and took a long nap! and I loved every minute of it. This evening I got together and Tim and Karas home, with them and Charlie and Vanessa, Robert and Lindsey, Dot and Brandon, and Spencer and Brittney to have a little pot luck dinner and some games. It was really fun and a great stress relief for me. Now I am home typing this insanely long blog while aaron is doing laundry and cleaning the second bedroom. Life couldnt get any better! LOL. Enjoy the pictures of Korts football game. He is such and awesome brother.

More funny photos

I created more funny photos of us. I think these photos are of the same decade. We make a cute couple now but I think we would have made an even cuter couple then. lol! ENJOY!

Blast from the past!

Okay don't miss the blog below, but I could not resist putting these pictures up. They are styles from different decades that I cropped aaron and I's faces into the picture. I hope that everyone enjoys a good laugh.

Family Fun

Grandpa, Abi, and Grandma

This last weekend Aaron and I went to visit my family in Wheatland. It was so much fun! My sister, shanna, came down from Utah and so we got to see her and my Niece. We just hung out and visited most of the time. Dale, Heather, Ben, Kort and Aaron played some football, while the rest of us watched. The most enjoyable part of watching them play was watching Abi trying to figure out what in the heck these growns up were doing and how she could get in the middle of the fun. She is such a fun little girl and so smart. She has such a good sense of humor. One of my favorite things she does is Meow really loud when she sees a picture of a cat (which is her most favorite animal). She gets so excited. It is kind of contagious. Anyway here are a few pictures of the weekend.

I am not ready to go to bed yet!

Hey Guys, I want to play too!
