Life!!

Life is pretty crazy right now! I have really gotten into sewing lately, and I am having so much fun! I am trying to make most of my christmas presents this year. My friend also is awesome at sewing without patterns and is teaching me how to do it. I'm making a pencil skirt that will hopefully turn out well! I will post some pictures shortly! Other than that Logan is going to be a year old next month! I can't believe it, he is growing so fast!!

Logan-11/30/10

It has been a really long time since I have updated my blog. It seems the last time I was on here I was having a girl. Surprise he was a boy. We named him Logan Douglas. I absolutely love his name. My husband wanted his first name to start with an L in tradition with his family: grandfather-Luigi, father-Louis, Luke, now Logan. His middle name is after my brother who was killed in 2004. It's amazing how much you can love such a little being! We had beautiful pictures taken by Kelly France. She was amazing! He was 4 days old. He is so much bigger now!! On Friday I get to go to my cousins wife's baby shower in SLC. I can't wait!! Well, I will update more later but for now, I'm going to bed!

Time...

I'm so ready to be done with my house!! I feel like we have been remodelling forever! I am just so glad we are almost done!

I don't know if I have mentioned but we are having a little girl! We are going to name her Lily Maryjane. Maryjane after Luke's Grandma. We still have so much to do until she comes. I haven't even started the nursery. It's crazy how time just seems to slip away from you! Oh well, it's so worth it!

I get my 3-d ultra sound tomorrow. I'm so excited to see what Lily looks like!

Being pregnant is pretty crazy! It's amazing how you can want something for so long and then you finally get it. It was really hard for me to get pregnant. It took 2 1/2 years of trying. I almost got to the point where I didn't think it would ever happen. I actually had severe anxiety over it. About 9 weeks ago I was having anxiety attacks every day. I took some time off of work to get my head straight. My Dad bought me a little plaque that said "Faith in God includes faith in his timing" by Niel A Maxwell. Probably one of the best presents I ever got. I put it in my car so I could see it everyday. Whenever I started to feel sorry for myself I would think that. I also had a really hard time finding out other people were pregnant. When my sister got pregnant I was really upset. Angie and Grandma really helped me with that. Angie told me she had read an article that whenever you feel envious or jealous of someone you just say "I'm happy for you" to yourself. And you say until you believe it. It's amazing how those two little sayings changed my life.

The Thursday before I was supposed to go back to work I found out I was pregnant. I can honestly admit that never even crossed my mind! I was shocked. I called my husband and he was just as happy as me. It's amazing how much my life has changed in the last 3 weeks. Mostly the fact that I've gained like a pound in my chest! Not something I would usually comment on, but it's crazy how much bigger and sorer they are! I had to buy a new bra.

Last Wednesday Luke and I got to see the baby's heart beat. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen or heard. It was amazing how something so little could beat so hard and fast. It's our little miracle! I can't wait to see what he/she will look like!

Well after two years of trying I am finally pregnant!! I am about 6 weeks along and due the first week of December. It is amazing how much joy peeing on a stick can bring you! Luke and I are so excited to bring this addition to our family!!

Da Bears! and the rest of the summer

Well, this summer has been pretty fun! Luke finally passed his Players Ability Test for golf and is now an official member of the PGA! 16 times the charm! For his present for passing I got him tickets to the Bears-Broncos game. He is a huge Bears fan and had never been to a professional game. It was a blast! Especially since the Bears won!! We has awesome seats at the 20 yard line, about 16 rows up. It's amazing how different the games are when you are there watching them! It was like a little kid in a candy store allowed to have whatever he wanted. We cheered till my throat was raw!

This is the picture right before a touch down!!! Go Bears!!!

For labor day weekend we went down to Pagosa Springs to visit Luke's parents. We went down to Navajo lake on the boat and did some water skiing! I have never done it before and it was a blast!! This is a picture of Rocky hiding in the side of the boat. He got a little hot so he was trying to find shade. A few minutes later we threw the pups in the lake to cool off. They have never gone swimming but they were pros! Below is a picture of my Mother-in-law Sue water skiing! She was a pro! We all had such a good time on the lake! We are going to try to go down one more time before it gets to cold to get in the water.

This is Luke and me on the boat. I have to admit we got some good color out on the boat! What a sexy husband I have! Well that's about it for now. I'm sure I'll have some more updates shortly...

Life changes...

So do to my previous episode last week I decided some things needed to change. So I took up running. I've always wanted to do it and have tried but I never seem to follow through. So I have been getting up early and running. It is so excilerating to plug in my ipod and just pound the pavement! My boss runs in a marine marathon every year in DC. I would love to someday run in that. I know I have to run a year before I can start training for a marathon so I'll have to keep on it. I just think it would be an awesome goal to acomplish.
