Owed to our 2 Year Anniversary (a little late!)

We were married 2 years ago on November 16 in the Idaho Falls temple for time and all eternity.  It was a great day to remember.  I know there are going to be a lot of pictures on here but pictures say a thousand words and because I am not good with words there are a lot of pictures!

Here is what our annocements looked like.

The day started with getting my hair done really early.

We took our pictures in the morning and then we were married at 11:00am. The luncheon was after the ceremony at Golden Corral.

The reception was that evening. I didn't want a wedding cake so I chose an ice sculpture instead (Dad made a tradition with Becky's wedding to make each of us a Hostess cake, he didn't carve the temple for us but he did make us a cute cake out of Zingers and Snowballs.  I didn't have a picture of that or I would have posted it too.)

We waited a week to go on our honeymoon because of Thanksgiving.  We went back to were Blaine served his mission in Southern California.  We went to Disneyland and it was set up really cute for Christmas. It was Blaine's first time to the "happiest place on earth" and I think I might have made his experience not the "happiest"...this picture was taken after I conviced Blaine to go on Splash Mountain and I promised that we wouldn't get wet hardly at all, having been on the ride a few years back.  Well needless to say I ate my words, we got soaked and it was freezing.  It was memorable and fun even in cold clothes!

We also were able to go to the San Diego Temple twice while we were staying in California.

(The manger scene is set up in the back of us.) It was a beautiful temple, I would love to go again.

We drove to Las Vegas and met my mom and dad there.  They were setting up for their art show, 'The Cowboy Christmas.'  So on our way back we helped them set up.  They took us to "The Tournament of Kings" and Merlin made us stand up infront of everyone and raise our hands and say "Hezah".  It was really embarassing.  Mom and dad thought it was great because they told him we were on our honeymoon. 

Now 2 years later, a baby on the way and I couldn't be happier! Wow it is crazy 2 years has gone so quickly.  I truly married the man of my dreams and I am living my fairy tale, "Happily Ever After."  Yes, there are the ups and downs but the ups out weigh the downs by far!  We love being together whatever it might be; going on the tractor, being with family, driving in the car (we drive a lot because everytime we go somewhere we have to drive long distances), going camping, cook outs in the canyon, snowmobiling, sitting around on sundays after church, watching movies and just spending as much time as we can together! (Farmers don't get much time off, so our time together is valuable.)

Blaine, I love you and I can't imagine my life with out you and I don't want to.  You are my best friend.  I admire and love all your qualities; you work hard and don't quick until the job is done, your patience reaches beyond the stars, you have a fun and likeable personality, you are a faithful priesthood holder, you are honest and loyal, you bring out the best in others and yourself, you respect women and their callings, and the list goes on and on.  I am excited to start this next chapter of our lives together, there is no other person I would rather enter the chapter of parenthood with then you.  I know you are going to make a wonderful father.  Our baby is blessed to have you for a dad!  Thanks for being you.  It is true that I loved you the least on our wedding day because my love for you will never stop growing.  I love you 'to infinity and beyond'!

Baby Update and Swine Flu

The other day I had my Dr. appointment and things are going good.  The doctor was a little concerned because I was measuring big.  He had me go in for an ultrasound to see if the baby is ok.  The ultrasound tech said that he is growing just fine and that he weighs 3 lbs and 3 oz so far at 30 weeks and that he has a little peach fuzz on his head. 

Here is a 3D picture of the face.  It is a little tricky to see but look hard.

This is our first big investment in baby gear.  It is cute and we are starting to get prepared.

Last week Blaine was not feeling good on sunday so I made him stay home from church...yeah it was a hard choice for him to stay home from church.  But on monday he was still coughing and wasn't in the best of shape so I drug him to the doctor because I didn't want things to get worse.  Well the doctor said it was all the signs of swine flu though he didn't test him for it, but he did treat Blaine for swine flu.  It was pretty bad for the first few days and now that a week has past he is doing much better!  It is pretty sad we thought living in the middle of no where had its advantages when it came to grems and sickness but I guess we have to be just as careful as anyone!
