Our Lil Peanut

I was talking to my friend Nattie last night about writing in our journals when we were little and how we always started it, "Dear Journal, Hi! How are you? Sorry it's been so long since I've written in you. I promise I will do better"! Oh funny kid us.


Dear Blog,

Hi! How are you? Sorry I haven't written on you in so long. I promise I will do better. So here is an update on my life these past three months I have been so rudely away.

First off, and most importantly, Dan and I are going to have a baby. How cool is that? The due date is December 23rd. Christmas baby! My game plan is to hold off and have the baby on December 30th so it isn't born right on Christmas. I think I have complete control in the matter so that is the plan. We found out we were with child back in April. It was pretty funny to see Dan's terrified face as he choked out, "I'm so happy." But we have now been able to hear the heartbeat and see our cute little nugget, plus my belly is poking out so the whole thing is more real and we can not wait. Our baby is going to be so awesome. I am now officially in the second trimester (as of today)! I am hoping to say good bye to the nausea and hello to more energy. One can wish but we shall see. Any way, it is crazy that there is a little human growing inside me. Pretty cool thing. Here is a picture of our allstar.
Doesn't it look just like me?
On to other cool stuff we have been up to... I went to Texas back in May to visit my bros Whittney and Ryan.



Back on the home front:
Dan and I both had birthdays! We are so much older and wiser now!

I went to the Toby Keith concert with my sisters! They are trying to turn me country. I do think cowboy boots are really cute so I guess there is a possibility.

It has been SO warm, and luckily, Dan got a slipnslide for his birthday.

We have been hanging out with our awesome friends! Bonfires, festivals, and the Rodeo. Man oh man I love summer! 

Oh and also, back in April Dan and I celebrated our 4th year anniversary. How romantic. Sure do love that guy! I'm so happy to have him in my life and can't wait for the next year we have ahead of us.

Under the Mistletoe (shorty, with you)

911 911 911 away. oh how much fun it is to ride in an ambulance all day! Hey!

That is the version of Jingle Bells my primary class has been signing to me each Sunday. I wish I remembered the rest of the words because it is pretty funny.

So it is one right now and I am still lying in bed. I have the worst sore throat ever, you know the kind where you can hardly swallow and talking takes too much effort to deal with? That is where I am at. I hate that! The good news: I am going to watch a serious chick flick today and love every second of it.

Just finished an amazing series- The Maze Runner. I thought it got better and better as it went on. It is about a boy who wakes up in this maze and can't remember anything about his life. There are a bunch of other boys who have been there for a while and none of them remember anything either. They have to work together to survive and all they know is someway, somehow, they have to solve the maze. Sound intense? It is. Read it.

Dan is really doing so great at his new job. I'm so proud of my sweet nugget for being such a hard worker and so good looking at the same time. I went to a work party, it was saweet. I couldn't find a dress I loved so I decided to make one, and it actually turned out to be one my favorite things I have made! Maybe I am bragging but whatever.

My sister and I ran in a 10K for my work. I wasn't prepared and it was kind of hard. Really fun tho, I am glad we did it. I wish that I would keep up with my running so when I do decide to run a race, it isn't a near death experience for me. I say that, but I haven't ran since that race, not even once. Oh well, laziness brings such joy to this life.

We went to St. George for Thanksgiving. All my cousins came down too so it was totally baller. The trip included some football, golf, black friday shopping (where I scored a sweet storage ottoman... I made my lil sister run and fight the masses to get it for me and she ended up hitting a lady in the head with it... so proud), minute to win it games, swimming, and food. So much food. It was such a fun trip- I love getting together with my whole family.

Now that the Christmas Season is upon us, my fam went up to Temple Square and checked out the lights. It is gorgeous up there. Christmas brings such a peaceful feeling, especially on Temple grounds. We ended the adventure with dinner at Tucannos. It was such a nice way to end our night- with pure gluttany. Seriously, I ate until I almost died. Vair Vair enjoyable.

It snowed the other day. It hasn't really snowed a lot so far this year, but I just love it. Let's be honest, if it snows too much more I am going to hate it, but for now the light snow every now and then is so pretty and makes me feel all homey. I love this time of year. I put Christmas up before Thanksgiving because I was too excited to wait, but now it is really Christmas time so it is wonderful. Plus I get to listen to my Groban Christmas CD every second and no one can tell me to turn it off. Man that guy can sing. And speaking of the great JOSH, did anybody see him on The Office as Andy's little brother? That was really funny. Anyway- I still have so much Christmas shopping to do. There are only 10 more days and I am sort of freaking out. I did however get my brother's present and it is so funny. I can't say what I got him in case for some weird reason he decides to read my blog, but just know, it is a winner.


Now I would like to entreat you to a billion pictures documenting our every move. All of the Thanksgiving trip pics are from my wonderfully talented cousin Katie, not me... all my pictures come from my phone.

Texas Forever

I am eating Peanut Butter M&Ms right now. They are really hitting the spot. mmm.


This last week we went to TEXAS! It was fabity fab fab! I haven't been back for 5 years so I was SO excited! Our Evans buddies live in Corpus now so we went to visit them! Oh I love it there. I would love to move back some day, but I don't think I would be able to convince the boy I live with. We went to San Antonio for two nights but just stayed down town so I wasn't able to go up to my old stomping grounds, but it was just good to be back in the heat and beautiful south. and it was the BEST EVER to get see Whittney and Ryan. I miss them so so much and can't wait til they move here. (they don't have a choice). Last minute, a bunch of our other friends decided to come down too so it ended up being quite the partayyy! We went to Schliterbaahn Waterpark, The Alamo, the beach, yummy restauants, annnd I got to see Whitt's amazing boutique she works at! It was the best.











Ryan just wanted to go get some ice cream...




we made up a sweet game called CORNCCI- mix between corn hole and bocci. Vair fun game.



Our sand turtle RoseMaria


Breakfast in the ghetto. It was DELICIOUS.







We beat the boys SOOO bad at corncci. Go Team Texas Forever!



We ordered calzones and they brought out the biggest things I've ever seen.

I HEART RYAN and WHITTNEY. I HEART TEXAS.
