MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND

We went to Richfield for Mother's Day to of course spend time with our AMAZING MOMS! We had a great time with both families,the usual going back and forth to both houses... So fun! I'm actually still deciding if it's easier that our families live in the same town or not. Don't get me wrong I LOVE that we get to see both families every time we go, but it's just hard to leave each house everytime and I'm always worried about spending too much time at one house over the other. I don't want to make anyone feel bad, ya know?! Then I feel like we miss out on a lot with each family because we're not "completely there" like everyone else...I don't know if it makes any sense, but you know what I mean?!! It was really nice to be home though. I didn't really think about it when Mother's Day came, but then I actually got my first Mother's Day gift!! :) I know I'm such a great mom and all already...I just have the BEST baby, she's the easiest child to take care of! :) ha Gees after this weekend, I just can't wait to hold my sweet little girl. I held my sis-in-law Amanda's new baby boy (so handsome!) and played with Cami's cute twins and I'm even more excited to meet her and just hold her ALL day! Anyways...My cute husband gave me these way cute gold (to match our theme) crown hooks to put on the wall in our nursery, which I absolutely LOVE! Lately every thing I get is for the baby and her room, it's so great what could be better right! I'll post pics of the nursery when it gets closer, it's looking so cute :) Then my cute sisters JaKelle and Chelsi gave all of us the cutest aprons. Here's a picture of all of us cute girls wearing them...

They say, "Nobody Cooks like MOM"

Thanks Jak and Chels, you're the best!

I'm so blessed to have such great motherly examples in my life. I have a mother who supports me in EVERYTHING I do and who loves her kids more than life itself, a mother-in-law who is the greatest example of service and LOVE, a sister who is SUPER MOM and is the most patient person I know, and of course the greatest, most talented sister-in-laws I've ever known.
I'm surrounded by GREAT mothers and I love you all! THANKS for all YOU do

It's about TIME!

I know I'm lost past due for an update so finally here it is!
We celebrated our 1st Year Anniversary on APRIL 29th which was fun! Who would've thought I'd almost be 7 months pregnant on our first year anniversary...NOT ME that's for sure! ha But I definitely could not be happier, I'm so excited and it's coming so fast! Which is a good thing right, it's just so crazy! I really do feel that it's gone quite fast, most say that it goes slow but luckily so far it's gone pretty quick I think. (Watch the next 2 months will be the slowest months of all!:) ) We've been getting the nursery ready, which has been so much fun! GIRLS ARE SO FUN! Jesi, Jake's amazingly, talented, gorgeous designer sister :) has helped us pick out the paint colors and design the bedroom so it's been really great and I can't wait til it's all done. I'll for sure be posting pictures as soon as it get's further along.
Well...Jake and I are both taking Spring semester! yes, I'm back in school...it was such a nice break last semester to not have to study! I loved it! I'm only taking one class, Art History 202 so I'm hoping it won't be too bad. My professor seems pretty nice and classes are usually a little more laid back during the summer so I'll keep my fingers crossed. It'll be fun, besides the subject he's teaching! ha It's actually kinda interesting...I'm just not a big fan of History so it's hard for me to study, but it's only spring semester so I need to just stay dedicated and stick it out.
Jake's still working for an Optometrist, which he really enjoys. It's been a great opportunity for him to gain this experience for his future occupation (we hope, he needs to get accepted into grad school first :) I'm really excited, we have a lot of school ahead of us it'll be so great! I'm still at the good ole' Happy Sumo serving away :) We'll see how much longer I'll last with this prego belly of mine! I'm almost 31 weeks now, but I think I can handle it at least til I'm 36 weeks or so. I'm just playing it by ear, luckily my managers are awesome and they just told me to work till I feel like I can't anymore and then they'll give me as much time off as I need. Who could ask for a better job right?! (well it is serving tables...)
Oh and about posting pics of my belly...I'll see if I get BRAVE enough!! I don't know why but I just feel a little funny putting pics of my fat body on the internet! ha So give me some time!! :) That pretty much sums up what we've been doing lately...I'll try and get better at this blogging thing! Hope everyone's doing great Love ya!

Jon Schmidt arrangment...WOW!

"LOVE STORY meets VIVA LA VIDA" I just saw this on my friend's blog and it's amazing! Jon Schmidt is such a talented composer and I loved this! (I used to play the piano and loved playing his songs...sadly I don't have a piano so someday I'll get back into it) I just had to share it, ENJOY! (it's kinda long, but wow it's good!)

I thought it worked better if you just click on this link then putting the video on my blog.
