Taylor and I have LOST our live as we watch episode after episode of LOST! We love it! We do miss Jack Bauer, but LOST is exciting in a whole new way. We have already watched almost 2 seasons in just 2 weeks!

Besides our latest obsession we kinda have just been surviving. We both have been working a lot and I have not been feeling so good so LOST has been it... nothing too eventful to report. Taylor has been so good to me and so good to help around the house and fix dinner for us. He does way more than his share. I feel bad, but I am starting to feel better so life can get back to normal. Although who am I kidding? Life is not going to get back to normal... life is going to become a new normal, which we are both very excited about. I am just about done with my first trimester! Taylor is now convinced that we are having a little boy. We both have felt since day one that it will be a girl. Time will tell.

School has started for me. My last semester and last 3 classes! I am going to try and enjoy them! Taylor starts back on Monday. He is taking a full load this semester and will also have a full load in the Spring. And then he will be done too! He has added a minor in psychology and has started thinking about and researching grad schools... Life is good, life is great, life is wonderful!

You mean I get to see my husband every night?

Tonight is one of the last nights I will have to spend alone! Taylor was offered a position on the Monday, Wednesday, Friday morning shift! He will be greatly missed on his current shift, but will be much more appreciated home with me! Lunchtime will become a little sad on those days, but I would much rather have him home in the evenings!

A Much Needed Weekend Away

We had the most relaxing and fun weekend in St.George. We left Thursday evening when I got off of work and got there late Thursday night. Mary, Michael and Grandma were already up there. Kristy's condo is absolutely beautiful. It is so much fun. We are grateful for her letting us stay there and wish she could have been there too. Next time! But we had the best time! We played the most fun game on the Wii which is all dancing and a real workout, not to mention quite the show to watch! Michael, Mary, Taylor and I all played it together. There are several songs to choose from and a person dancing on the screen which you are supposed to mimic the moves in order to get points. It was not easy. We were all sweating and out of breath. I had to sit out a few and it was so funny to watch the boys shaking their hips. I know Grandma enjoyed the show too. We watched movies- Michael Jackson's This Is It, My Sisters Keeper, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II, and several episodes of The Office. We also laid out on the rafts in the pool a couple times, which was so nice and so relaxing. Friday we stayed out there for several hours. We also went to dinner at the Pizza Factory and ordered the best BBQ Chicken pizza. Saturday Katie, Steve and Caleb came up. It was fun to hang out with them too. Caleb is just so stinkin cute. We played a few games with them which was a lot of fun. We played Things In A Box and True Colors with Mary and Grandma also. Saturday night Grandma got Michael, Taylor and me tickets to go see Cats at the Tuacahn. She tried to get us tickets for Tarzan, but it was already sold out. Cats was fun though. It is just so fun to watch their high energy and dancing. Their costumes were really cool too. We loved it. We also got a lightening show, which canceled the end of the show. We missed the last 20 minutes or so. They are letting people reserve tickets for another night so hopefully Katie and Steve can go and enjoy it as much as we did. And between Michael and Mary both loving to cook we ate like Kings and Queens. They made a big breakfast every morning. We had scones one morning, blueberry pancakes another, crepes another, and waffles another. We also ate yummy steak, baked potatoes, corn on the cob one night, empinadas for lunch one day, chicken enchiladas another night. It was all so good. We loved spending time with all of them and didn't want to leave, but Taylor had to be back to work this afternoon and I have work early in the morning. We thought about calling in sick for the week, but decided we would like to be able to pay our bills! So, Taylor is at work and I am sitting at home trying to motivate myself to do some things around here. We are back to real life. Life is good though. It is hard work and everyday stresses that help us to really enjoy and appreciate the relaxing and fun times like our weekend.

Taylor is working today and I am so lonely without him. Although I woke up at 10:00 am, prepared my lesson and got ready for church, got home after 4:00 and was asleep by 5:00 and just woke up at about 8:00 pm. I don't like when he has to work, but I am glad he got a few hours off of work so he could come to church... We both taught today. The lesson was from President Uchtdorf- Continue in Patience.

Taylor just got home a few hours early!!!! What a nice surprise!!! I thought someone was breaking in... it scared me. But I am so happy he is home, so I am going to make this post quick!

We had such a fun day yesterday. We slept in, went to the pool and then to dinner at Chili's with Jill, Dan, and Lacie and then went to some Pioneer Day festival thing with them. It was a lot of fun. I love the time we spend together.

First comes love, then come marriage...

then comes baby in the baby carriage!

Well, the news is out! We wanted to keep it a secret a little longer, but I think we are both just too excited! We couldn't help but tell everyone right away! We're gonna have a baby! We are soo happy! We told Taylor's family a few weeks ago and told my family last week.

Where it all began!

Taylor and I spent another weekend in Paradise! We love it up there. It was the 1 year anniversary of our first date! I am so grateful for Taylor. He is so patient and loving. We were going to recreate our first date, but I was not feeling very well, so instead it was relaxing and we finished the last season of 24! We both cried! There will be many, many more years to celebrate!

No pictures this past trip, but we hope to go back up there again in a few weeks.

4th of July Weekend

We had a great weekend in Paradise! We left Friday night after Taylor got off work. We picked up Michael on the way and got up to Paradise about 1:45 in the morning. Saturday was so much fun. We visited, rode the 4 wheelers, took the boat out onto Porcupine Dam, and made yummy smores. Michael went home with Tony and Jeanne Saturday evening and Dan, Jill, and Lacey left also. We had a great time with everyone and also had a nice evening Saturday and enjoyed our Sunday together also. We went down to Salt Lake Sunday afternoon to celebrate Tony and Lexi's birthdays and the 4th of July. It was nice to see everyone, including the grandmas. We ended up staying the night up in Salt Lake because Taylor and I stayed up late with Jeanne playing Rummikub, which is a new favorite game. Taylor won 2 games, I won 1, and then Jeanne won 1. We played again this morning. Taylor and Jeanne both won a round. Taylor and I came back home and watched several episodes of 24 before he had to go to work. I have the day off of work and class, but will be spending the afternoon/evening working on my research paper.
