Oregon Trip

So this last weekend Correy and I had a mini vacation to Oregon for my cousins wedding. I thought, 15 weeks pregnant, no biggy. Boy was I wrong. A few days before our trip, the bathroom became my home, I had to pee all the time, and we were about to take a 13 or 14 hour trip. YIKES!!!!! But then we plugged it into our gps and it only showed up as a 12 hour trip, and I just thought cool, 2 hours less in the car. Well we started our journey and by the time we got to boise we had already stopped 3 times, and we stopped in Boise for an hour since we had to go to the bank, get gas, eat, and pick up a few things at old navy. Then we were back on the road, the next major city was ontario, which was only 45 minutes out of Boise so we didnt stop cuz I didnt have to pee and we just got gas. MISTAKE NUMBER ONE. So we continue to follow the gps, and before long, we aare no longer on a highway and on a county road with no one else around. And then I have to pee, we end up going 160 miles before we saw an outhouse that was gross but better then nothing. And as we continued our journey, we realized our gas was getting low. we usually try and fill up when we have gone 200 to 300 miles. But as we keep going there is no gas stations anywhere, then I realize we have no cell reception, so if we do run out of gas we are stuck. Our fuel light goes on and I am searching the map to find a town and when we finally get to one, we literally roll into the gas station with over 400 miles on it, luckly we got really good gas milage or we would have ran out. By that point we were less then 2 hours from Medford and hitting more small towns and getting cell service and I finally could relax. We pulled into Medford, got some food and went to hang out with my cousin. And I knew no matter what great time we made we were not doing that route again.
The next morning was Heidie's wedding. She was soo beautiful and I was glad that I was able to be apart of it. Here is a picture of Correy and I will Heidie, isnt she sooooo pretty and dont you love her flowers. See my baby bump?
And I really like this picture even though Heidie's head is cut off, I just like seeing my cute baby bump.

This is Correy, me and baby, outside the Medford temple, which is technically the first temple our baby has been in.
After the wedding, Correy and I went over to help set up for the reception, well Correy helped, I sat around and slept a little since I couldn't do very much. After we finished work for the day we went back to our hotel and went swimming and then went to bed, so we could wake up early and finish with all the setting up. Unfortunatly I have no pics of the reception or how the decorations looked in the end, so I will have to wait for someone else to post them. But it was sooooo very amazing, although I still have to say I liked my decorations better, but that is the way it is suppose to be. After the reception Correy and I went back to the hotel and soaked in the pool for a while cuz my feet and back hurt so bad. Then went to bed so that we would get up early for our long day of travel. My favorite part of Oregon is the pretty forests, so I made Correy stop so that we could take a few pics.
We ended up getting home at midnight and poor Correy ended up getting a service call at 6:30 in the morning. But I can say we will not make a trip that long when I am pregnant, unless we fly.

To Move or not to Move is the Question

Image
So Correy and I have been looking more and more into moving and have finally decided that it is going to happen. It is just a matter of when and where. When have really been looking into two different areas, Rock Springs, Wyoming and St George, Utah. When we were first discussing where we would want to move I was leaning towards Wyoming, and now the more research that I do, I think that I really want to move to St George. In St George, Correy would be able to continue doing HVAC work and could still possibly open his own branch of High Tech Comfort in a few years. Also, there are more housing options, in our price range, that we could bring our puppies. We are hoping to rent a two bedroom house, that has a yard for the dogs. I have seen a few that I like a lot. We really want a two bedroom because if we have family come and visit we would like to be able to accommodate them instead of having them stay in a hotel. Also I think it would be nice to make it into a office too. Because we no

We Are Pregnant!!!!

Image
After being married for a year and going through life's many ups and down we are finally able to announce that we are pregnant. We are due December 17th, so its an early Christmas present to us. So far we have been to two doctors appointments and had two ultrasounds. The baby is doing great with a strong heartbeat. I have been lucky enough not to have morning sickness, the only symptom I have had hasjust been exhaustion and the aches and pains that come with pregnancy. I know it only looks like a blob, but you can see some limb buds and the head in some of them. We cant wait for our next appointment, June 3rd, when the baby will look soo much more like a baby, and I will be at the end of my first trimester. Her is a pic of me the first day we found out. And as for our Baby Bottle (the coke bottle bank we got on our honeymoon) we counted it a few days after finding out and we nearly had 160 dollars, we figure by the time I am in my third trimester we will have enough for th

Nursery Under Construction

Image
When I got home from California, the nursery was textured and ready for paint. On Friday after work, Correy primered the room so that it was all ready for paint. Saturday we had to go into town to get white paint for the ceiling and closet, and we got a paint that went on pink and dried white so that we would make sure that we weren't missing any spots. It was really cool but the pink doesn't really show up in pictures. But if you look close you may be able to tell that it has a pink tint to it. On Sunday, when we got home from Church we painted the nursery and I love the way that it turned out. Afterwards I was exhausted so I laid down and took a nap, while Correy helped his parents move furniture and when I woke up he was just moving the last bit of furniture. He decided he wasn't tired and was feeling rather productive so he swept the Nursery and started to lay down carpet, as he was getting to the end and just needed to to the closet I started vacuuming and by the time
