Happy Anniversary of Sorts

Three years ago today Brian and I went to go see the Christmas lights at Temple Square, went on a romantic carriage ride, and ended up 'officially' starting our lives together. I can't believe it has been three years since Brian proposed to me. It has been the most amazing three years too. We have made so many memories together and there are many more to come. One of our favorite traditions is going to see the Christmas Lights. We have gone every year since we started dating, with the exception of the year Brian was in Iraq. I think that is why it was so special that he proposed where he did. I love this man with all of my heart and I can't wait for the future years to come and share with him. This year we went to see the lights with my Andy, AmyLyn, Ryan and his girlfriend Holly.

The night was perfect. We didn't freeze too bad and we finished the evening at my house with Hot Chocolate and Cinnamon Rolls. Here are some more pictures of the evening:

Even though I hate the freezing cold weather, Christmas time really is such a special time of year. I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope that everyone enjoys their holiday with their families and has a wonderful and safe Holiday!

Ugly Sweater Party

Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the year. I love spending time with family and friends. This year Brian and I went to an "Ugly Sweater Party". The idea was to find the most hideous Christmas sweater and wear it out for a night of dining and bowling. You would think it would be easy to find something "ugly" at the store right? Nope. After a couple of hours of searching, my friends Lyndsey and Valarie gave up and settled for some "semi ugly" long sleeve shirts we found at Walmart. Next time I will be sure to go to D.I. because I am sure we would have found our treasure there. All I could find for Brian was a Snoopy T-shirt. The shirt said " I put the cool in Christmas" Ha ha. I thought he really made it classy with the collared shirt underneath and the top hat.Here is Valarie and I. We had matching shirts and I sported the beautiful wreath design and she wore the Christmas tree.
This is Lyndsey and her husband, Mike. Lyndsey also wore a matching shirt with Santa on it. Mike was very proud of his bow tie and Lyndsey was very proud that she tied it. Thank you You Tube!Lyndsey and I found these great socks at JCPenny. Of course we had to roll our pants up so everyone could check them out.

Oh and word to the wise...Bowling is not that comfortable when you are 22 weeks pregnant. I felt like my belly was ripping in half. I think I got an 85. At least I broke 50! Needless to say, I sat out the second game and Brian got to bowl for me. Well I hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas! Enjoy the Holidays!

Guess Who's Half Way?

Can you believe I am 20 weeks already? I sure can, but for those of you that think, "Wow, it's going by so fast!" I thought I would give you the official Half Way Milestone Update. First things first, here is my belly:
I can't believe how much it has changed in the last two weeks. Brian teases me that my belly button isn't going to be an innie much longer. It's already half out. I wonder if I am getting too big too fast, but I don't care. I love it. I love seeing the transition of my body (for the most part).
Right now I feel great. I still throw up once in a while, but nothing like before. I just keep thinking how amazing it is that I have a child growing inside me. There is no feeling in this world that I can compare this to. I guess you really have to experience pregnancy to know what I am talking about. There is just a joy inside me and I am so grateful to have this little girl coming. I just wish that she would get here fast, I am already getting impatient. Only20 more weeks :)

Opinions Please

I am trying to pick out bedding for the nursery and I am having a hard time making a decision. I have narrowed it down to two :) I really wanted to make the bedding, but fabric is sooo expensive and I haven't been able to find the exact fabric that I want. Plus there is all that work involved. This is what the room looks like now:My original plan was to go with bedding that wouldn't require me painting the room. I did this room a few months back and I love the way it turned out. I really don't want to paint it again.

I like this one, but it would require painting the room. Plus it is a lot cheaper.

This is my favorite. It is exacty what I envisioned when I was planning on making it myself. The only problem is, it is custom made which = very expensive$. I guess its not too bad considering some of the sets I have seen for over 300$, but we don't even have bedding in our bedroom that is as expensive as this set.

The think I like about this set is that you can change the fabric color if you want like this:
Anyway, help me decide! Which one, which one? Paint the room? Spend more money?

Guilty

Yup...On Friday night I joined 15 year old girls everywhere and stood in line for an hour to see New Moon. Am I ashamed? Nope. Did I LOVE the movie? Not really, but that could be just because out of the 4 books, New Moon was my least favorite. It was fun to see the book come to life, but of course the movie is never as good as the book. And P.S. they really should have potty breaks during the movie for us pregger women. Gees, maybe that's why I didn't love the movie! Anyway, I am just curious what my fellow Twilight fans thought. Did you like it? What was your favorite part? Let me guess, all the shirtless hunks. Am I right? *wink!*

Horray It looks better!

Well its not exactly fixed yet, but at least it is where it is supposed to be...the BACKGROUND...Thanks for the tips. I think now if I can figure out how to get rid of the white background on my title I will be in good shape.

OK all you Smarty Pants

Does anyone have any idea how to fix my blog? I have been pulling my hair out all night! Why, OH WHY, is my background only in the middle of the page? I am out of ideas...Anybody got some?
