Avery's 1st Bird-day!

2011-03-30T08:18:00.001-07:00

I cannot believe that it has been a year since Avery was born! Time really does go by so fast. She is so big and learns new things everyday. She is always our best and most enjoyable source of entertainment. We had her 1st bird-day party on Saturday afternoon at my parents house. I wanted to do it on her birthday but since it was smack in the middle of the week it didn't really work because Kurtis would be at work and its not like she knows anyway so it worked out well to do it on Saturday. I am so glad that most of our families got to be there. Kurtis's parents came up from Salina and Krista, Kim, Kathy and Karla were there as well. Kelly had to work and Kenalee is of course in Las Vegas. I always love when we can have an excuse to get almost everyone together.

I kind of went a little crazy on getting ready for the party. It is my first child's first birthday afterall, isn't that what you are supposed to do?! I spent most of the week making the decorations, the cupcake picks, and the cake but it was worth it.

I had a picture in my head of what the cake was going to look like and it didn't turn out exactly how I planned but it worked out well and was pretty cute for the most part.

Avery had a blast and I was so impressed and proud of how long her attention span was. There was probably a good 40 minutes of present opening and she sat on Kurtis's lap the whole time and opened her presents.

She was so funny with her cake at first. She just picked at it very carefully with her fingers.

Then she got all into it and smeared it around all over, and wanted the share with everyone else!

This is the clean up afterward. It was much easier to stick her in the sink then to haul her upstairs to the bathtub!

Lately....

Thank you Kayla. You always remind me when my blog is way overdue for an update. Its not that I'm super busy or anything, its just I really don't think my life is very interesting. And for some reason I always feel like I can't blog unless I have pictures to go with it. Well, I do have a few pics to go with this blog. Two weekends ago we decided it would be a good idea to go down to Las Vegas and visit family and friends we haven't seen in a while. Well, it will be the last time we try to fly stand-by on a holiday weekend. Who really cares about Presidents Day? :) I guess a lot of people must have had a long weekend because it took us a day and a half to get there and the same to get back. Thank goodness my sister lives in Bountiful so we just stayed with her on Saturday night and Kurtis's sister Kenalee was gracious enough to let us stay with her in Vegas and drove us to the airport at the crack of dawn to make the only flight that looked like we might possibly get home on Wednesday. Kurtis had to miss a day of work but oh well, thats what you get when you fly stand by. But, we did have a great time seeing the family and friends and we got to see The Lion King at Mandalay Bay. Thank you Kenalee for watching Avery! It was amazing! Im so glad we got to see it. It was a late Valentines for us, so worth it! Here a few recent pics of the child. She is growing from a baby to a toddler and its crazy how fast it is going! One year in one month! Crazy!

She gets SO excited sometimes that she holds her arms out and shakes! Its really funny!

Just chillin reading the paper at Nan and Papa's house.

She loves bath time!

Christmas 2010

2011-01-11T14:10:00.000-08:00

I know, its a little late but I am finally getting around to blogging about Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas. Avery loved it, although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she loved that everyone was together and so excited. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house so everyone was there on Christmas morning. She kept looking around and clapping her hands saying "Yay!" That is why most of the pictures of her are so blurry because she wouldn't hold still long enough for us to take a picture! We probably should have just stuck to getting her wrapping paper and empty bags because that is all she was really interested in but oh well. Santa brought Kurtis and I a iMac that we love. We are still trying to figure out how it works but it has been great so far. We had a great day and then we went spent that night with Kurtis's family. Kurtis's sister Kathy gave us the best gift ever! It really was what I have always wanted...a MONEY TREE! Okay, it was more like a money flower plant but it was so great! Thanks Kathy! The only sad thing about Christmas was that it always goes by so fast. But we had a blast with Avery and all of our family!

This is the season...

2010-12-09T09:45:00.000-08:00

I love Christmas. I think everyone loves Christmas, but I am really enjoying the season this year. I really think it has something to do with the fact that I got all my shopping done so I can just enjoy it! I have been very contemplative the last couple months, for no peticular reason. I am so grateful for a whole month where we are celebrating the birth of the Savior. I feel like I always try to be a good person and to live a good life but the last little bit I have been trying extra hard. Im so thankful for Jesus Christ in my life and for the knowledge that I have that even though I may make many mistakes ( alot of really dumb ones) that I can move past them and try again to be better. I think maybe one of the reasons I have tried to step up my game the last little bit is because of Avery. I have this little person in my life now who depends on me for everything. I want so badly to be a good mom to her and to teach her how to be a good person. I know she is only 8 months old and I may be jumping the gun a little bit but I figure if I want to teach her all these things I better make sure I am living the things as well! Im not saying that I have not been but I just want to always make sure that I don't get complacent with where Im at. I hope that I always am trying to do better. Im so thankful for a wonderful, patient husband who is such a good example to me and makes me want to be better and at the same time makes me feel like I am already the best. I am so grateful that we have the priesthood in our home because Kurtis lives worthy and is always trying to improve himself. Im grateful for people around me who improve who I am and who are amazing examples to me. Anyway, I love Christmas and I hope in some small way I can find little ways everyday this season and throughout the year to help others around me come closer to Christ and be happier, because I know there are so many around me that do that for me!

Just Because

2010-11-12T15:54:00.000-08:00

I know it's been some time since Daddy has posted on the blog. Well, I wanted to talk a little about my amazing little family, just because. It's not a special occasion or day of the year. I just need to say how crazy I am about my wife and how much I love my little Avery. Sometimes, while I am away, Aubrey has rough days. Many times it is because Avery is cranky and tired. I cannot be there for Aubrey on those days except by phone. Even then I may only have moments to comfort and support her. Not once has she complained about me being away. She has never said she wishes I had a different job. She just pushes through those rough days and keeps telling me how much she loves me even though I can be insensitive at times. She is the most brilliant and amazingly loving mother. Avery is such a blessed little girl, and I, a lucky man. Being a dad is the most incredible experience. There is nothing better than having your little girl lay her head on your shoulder and fall asleep because she is just so tired. Or have her give you such an amazing little smile when you get her out of her crib after a nap. I love that little angel more than I thought I could love anything. It doesn't hurt that she is so dang cute. Each week when I come home from work she has changed. She is growing so fast. We are so lucky to have wonderful family and friends who are close by and support us. Again, another great blessing. In order to keep this post a reasonable length, I will end by simply saying that my beautiful wife and insanely cute daughter are my rock and my light. Anytime I find myself complaining about my life I simply stop and think about how happy I really am. The End!

Halloween weekend

2010-11-02T13:07:00.000-07:00

So, I decided that I really like having Halloween fall on a Sunday because its a good excuse to celebrate the whole weekend, which is exactly what we did! Friday night was our 2nd year at the road rally. This years theme was Alice in Wonderland, so Kurtis and I went as the Tweedle twins! We never decided who was Dee and who was Dum, oh well. We had SO much fun! The clues were so great and it was so well done. Heidi and Andrew came with us and with all 4 of us we figured out where we needed to go pretty well. We thought we might win but I guess for only our 2nd year 6th place out of 20 teams isn't bad eh? My favorite part was when Heidi and I were booking it through University Mall to find a clue and we totally got yelled at by the Mall Cop! He was like "if you enter the mall you need to walk!" We were just like "okay" and started running anyway! I was laughing so hard because he probably thought we were 16 and little did he know that I have a child at home!
Then on Saturday night we got Avery all dressed up and took her to my mom and dad's. She looked so adorable in her monkey costume! We put her to bed at their house and went and played games with some friends. We did more this last weekend then we have done since Avery was born. We are SO grateful my parents live so close and are willing to watch her so often!

Sunday we went up to Bountiful to have dinner with Meghan and Steve. They are living in Steve's parents house right now while they are on a mission. We all dressed up and had a great time. Steve even made name tags with a different picture on each one. We waited a little too long to take the picture because Avery was ready for bed and screaming when we actually took it. Overall, it was a great weekend!

What makes a bad day all better?

2010-10-04T19:51:00.000-07:00

Isn't she the cutest thing ever?! I was kind of bummed when I was done with work today because Kurtis had a short weekend and had to go back to work for 4 days today. I went to pick Avery up from my mom's and she gave me the biggest smile ever. What made all my icky feelings go away you ask...I picked her up and she wrapped her cute little arms around my neck and gave me tons and tons of kisses! This is a pretty new thing for her and she has to be in right mood but she totally knows what she is doing and she wouldn't stop kissing me. It was just what I needed to shake my bummed-out-ness. I can't believe she is 6 months old already! Time has really flown by. Although she drives me crazy sometimes, Avery is the sweetest, cutest baby girl ever and I don't know what I would do without her. I really feel so blessed to be able to be her mom!

What we have been up to

2010-09-21T14:02:00.000-07:00

Its been a while since I updated my blog. I'm not a very good blogger anyway, but when your HOA cuts your internet off without notice and then the wireless on your computer totally quits working, its a little bit harder than usual to update it! So, I'm back now and I could write a really long blog about what we have been doing but... I don't really want to so I think I will just post some pics and say a few things.... One of those things being how much fun Avery is and how much I love this little girl. I'm not going to lie, 5 months is so far my favorite stage. Her little personality is coming out and she learns new things everyday. She is always a great source of entertainment! We had a great summer, which included a two week trip to the cabin in Montana. Kurtis got the full two weeks off of work so that was awesome. Avery was so funny in the water. I was worried she wouldn't like it because it was a bit chilly but she didn't mind. She didn't mind at all actually, she is so chill about everything. She just sat there in the floaty with no expression. We went to a park for Labor Day and it was the most beautiful day ever! I'm so glad we were outside. Avery loves being outside. I want more weather like that day, its been too hot lately! Well, I think thats it for now. I promise it wont take me this long again to blog. My brother Nathan gets home from his mission in 3 weeks so Im sure I will blog about that!

Laughing!

2010-07-23T08:49:00.000-07:00

I should post more because we have done a lot of cool things recently but for right now this is all. Avery absolutely loves her daddy! He can make her laugh anytime he wants! Her first laugh was on his birthday, such a good birthday present. She is a daddy's girl already.

Birthdays and beautiful weather!

2010-06-23T12:53:00.001-07:00

So, Kurtis's birthday is June 18th and mine is on the 19th. He turned the big 31 and I am now 28. We are both pretty old! We had a great family birthday dinner at my parents house on Friday night. We got a backpack to carry Avery in when we go hiking and since it was actually beautiful weather this past weekend we decided to test it out on Saturday. We hiked up to Stewart Fall and it was so beautiful. I have never seen the run off as big as it was and the weather was perfect for hiking. The trail is mostly shaded so that was nice. Avery loved it! She did so good all the way up to the waterfall. She loved looking around and hanging out in the backpack. The way down was a different story... She started to get hungry and I was really hoping she would hold out until we got back to the car. But, she didn't and she started fussing in the backpack and got upset so I took her out and carried her down the rest of the way. Well, while she was fussy in the backpack she must have been kicking the back of it which is mesh and not very soft and she rubbed two of her little toes raw! I felt like the worst mother ever, I didn't have socks on her and I didn't bring a bottle. When we got back to the car I was crying along with her but we eventually got her settled down (and me as well!) and went home. At least we learned some lessons for next time! Then that night Kurtis and I went to dinner while my wonderful parents stayed at our place while Avery was in bed. We both had great birthdays and Im so glad the weather was so nice!

Avery's blessing day

2010-05-12T19:48:00.001-07:00

We got to bless Avery on Mother's Day which was pretty cool for me. She looked so beautiful! She was such a good girl during the blessing too! She just looked straight up and didn't make a peep. Kurtis gave her an amazing blessing. I am so glad to have a amazing husband who is a worthy priesthood holder and can do that. It was a beautiful day, we got so lucky with the weather. We had a bbq at my parents house after and had all of our family and some friends there. The picture in the middle is with my mom and nona. My family always has girls first and so ever since my mom was born we have taken a four generation picture. When I was little I told my grandma gregson that I was going to be the first one in the family to have 5 generations in the picture because I knew that she would still be around when I had a baby. Well, she almost made it. She past away about a month before Kurtis and I got married. But, the blanket that Im holding in the picture is one that she made for me. She said she wanted me to have it for my baby in case she wasn't around. So, in a way there are 5 generations in that picture (I am of course crying at this point while Im writing this!) Anyway, it was a great day and Kurtis and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing little soul in our family now!

1 month already!

2010-04-29T14:32:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that Avery is a month old already. Time is going by really fast and she is chunking out! She is such a good baby! We are really lucky. Kurtis is back to flying 4 days a week and Avery and I are doing pretty good at home. We all went through a little bit of withdrawl last week but thats okay. When Kurtis got home on Thursday night he was so anxious to hold her that he was begging me to let him give her a bottle in the middle of the night. I gladly agreed. :) Im finally starting to feel back to normal. What I mean by that is, that I can have a baby and have a life too! The first couple weeks I thought "If I have to do anything before noon ever again Im screwed!" But I actually got Avery and I ready and went to 3 hours of church last Sunday at 9:30 am. I was pretty impressed. Well, I don't have much more time because she is being really good right now while I blog but Im sure she will demand my attention soon, so I'll leave with a couple pics.

Introducing Avery Lynn Glover

2010-04-05T14:45:00.001-07:00

So, I would attempt to organize these pics but it would just frustrate me because it wouldn't turn out the way it looked in the preview anyway! So, you'll have to figure out the order. Getting Avery here was a little bit of an adventure. I was supposed to be induced on Wednesday the 31st. We had an appt. for a non stress test on Monday and then they were going to do this gel thing twice on Tuesday to help when they started me on the pit on Wednesday. So, we went to the non stress test on Monday and they decided they were going to do the gel stuff that day because her heart rate was a little up and down and they said it was a sign that the placenta was weakening. She wasn't in any danger but they decided since I was over anyway that was the best option. They kept us in the hospital till 3 when they did the first dose of the gel then we were supposed to come back at 9 that night and go home and sleep and then come back Tuesday morning at 6. When we went back that night they had changed from the gel to this pill thing and I needed it every 4 hours so we were there, in the hospital, for the long haul. When they came into check me at 2:30 I was at a 3 and the nurse broke my water on accident and I went to a 5 in like a half hour. I was thinking this was great because I would probably have her in the morning and it wouldn't even take that long! Then at 4 am I was at a 6 and stayed that way until 3:00 pm when they told me it would be best to have a c section. I knew this was always a possibilty but I really had not thought about it because I wasn't ever planning on it. I thought I was fine while the doctor was explaining it to us and then I burst into tears. Hormones going a little crazy I guess! But, I just wanted to make sure we had a healthy baby so a c section it was. Don't you love the pic of us after she was out and I have the barf bag by my head? :) Thank goodness I didn't have to use it. She was born at 3:55 pm on March 30th weighing 7 lbs 5 oz 18 in long. Screaming her head off and sucking her fist the minute she got the chance! It was so cute though, when she was screaming I guess Kurtis came in the room and started talking to her and immediately she stopped screaming and was just looking at him! So, that was it. We got home from the hospital on Saturday and had quite the first night home. She slept all day and was either eating or awake ALL NIGHT LONG! We all seriously got like a half an hour of sleep. But, last night was ten thousand times better so we are hoping for the most part things go like they did last night. She is getting bigger everyday and we love her so much. Kurtis and I both still feel like it is sureal that WE actually have a child that we are responsible for but we couldn't be happier. Im sure you will get sick of seeing pictures of her because we will be taking them all the time. My parents actually have probably taken 5000 more pictures then even we have! They are really excited to be grandparents. We are very lucky to both have amazing families that love and support us!

My AMAZING Dad and more baby stuff

2010-03-18T07:07:00.000-07:00

So, my mom and I finished the quilt for the crib. It turned out so cute! We decided that since she really can't have a quilt in her crib for a long time anyway that we would just hang it on the wall. Its too cute not to show it off! Also, my amazing dad made us a changing table to match the crib he made for me when I was born that we are using. I never doubted of course, but it turned out so awesome! As with anything my dad makes it is super heavy and it will probably last until the millennium is over! Thanks to Steve, Kurtis and my dad for hauling it up our three flights of stairs! The nursery is completely done now and just waiting for a little someone to occupy it. We are patiently (sometimes not so much!) awaiting her arrival! I still have 6 days to go until the actual due date but I'm really hoping she will decide she wants to come sooner. Hoping but not planning on it! My doctor said he will induce me a week after my due date if she hasn't come yet so I figure April 1st is as late as it could possibly be. Kurtis and I met on April 1st two years ago so that would be kinda cool but I'm still hoping for sooner. I haven't been able to feel my fingers for about 2 weeks and my feet look like Miss Piggy's feet shoved in shoes by mid day! I'm really hoping all the water retention means I'll drop some of the baby weight quickly after she is born! Well, that is about it for now. I think I'll treat myself to a pedicure today and maybe I can get them to use the pressure points on my feet to start labor. :) I'll keep everyone updated!

And...what now?

2010-02-23T13:21:00.001-08:00

The first month of no work was great! I got all the sewing done for the babies room including curtains, pillows, even flowers made out of the material for the wall. I still have quite a bit of material left over. I cleaned up a storm, made meat pies with my mom and sister, even did a little shopping. Now, I don't know how this next month is going to go before the baby comes. Im now trying to come up with things that keep me busy at home so I don't go out and buy things for myself and the baby that we really don't need! I have two more baby showers so I really don't need to buy her anything. :)
Kurtis got his schedule for next month and although he didn't get any two day trips like we had hoped for, he did get 4 day trips Tuesday thru Friday that come back into Salt Lake everyday so it shouldn't be too hard to get home faster if something does happen early. I really doubt anything will happen really with this baby though. If I take after my mom they will have to force this baby to come. With all three of her kids, my mom was at least 2 weeks late. Only time will tell what my body will be like though.
Since I am bored and have nothing else to do I think I'll write about our weekend. It was a great weekend. We went to Salina on Sunday because it was Karren's (Kurtis's mom) 70th birthday. All her kids (except Kenalee, we missed you guys!) surprised her by showing up her house before church on Sunday. She was really surprised! It was great, so we had a good day down there with the fam. Then Sunday night we got a phone call and Kurtis now has an appointment to meet with the Stake President next Sunday. We know they are spliting our ward on Sunday so we are anxiously awaiting what the meeting could bring. I had to laugh a little bit because my husband is such a good person and member of the church that he volunteers himself or both of us for whatever is needed in the ward. He also has been saying a lot recently that he could never be bishop or elders quorom pres., or this or that because he doesn't have enough patience with people. I kept telling him he was asking for it by saying and doing what he was saying and doing! So, we will see what this means. In all seriousness I am so grateful for a wonderful husband who is a worthy priesthood holder and goes above and beyond what he is asked to do in the church. He is such a great example to me!
So, I think thats it for now. If anyone has any suggestions of things to make or do while Im trying to stay busy at a low cost let me know!

Valentine's Day

2010-02-15T06:51:00.001-08:00

I had such a great weekend. Saturday night was so great. Kurtis and I went to Gloria's in Provo and had some amazing Italian for dinner ( I really, really want their recipe for the tomato cream sauce!). Then Kurtis surprised me with tickets to the Desert Star Theater. It was really funny! We saw Twi-lite. With neither one of us seeing the movies we were hoping you wouldn't have to have seen them to enjoy the show and you didn't. We both laughed really hard. Then yesterday we had a great dinner at my parents with my sister and brother in law and then came to our place for dessert and watched episodes of Modern Family ( our new favorite show). It was just a great weekend!

The countdown is on now! I guess we have 37 more days to go. Im trying to tell myself to focus on April 1st because if Im anything like my mother they will have to force this baby to come out! That would be kinda cool though if she was born on April 1st because that is the exact day Kurtis and I met two years ago. We will have to wait and see what happens. Im just hoping that Kurtis is actually in town when I go into labor. The anticipation is killing me! Patience has NEVER been one of my strong attributes. I'm pretty much done with the baby's room so now we are just waiting for her to get here!

Baby's room pics

2010-02-05T10:36:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics finally of what I have been up to since I don't work anymore!

The room is not finished yet, but its a pretty good start don't you think?! Pictures don't really do it justice, its a lot cuter in real life!

Getting ready for baby

2010-01-27T07:46:00.000-08:00

So, I am officially done with work for a while. I was pretty proud of myself that I made it to 32 weeks. By my last week I was kinda whacking people with my belly as I walked down the asile and it was getting a little difficult to bend down and get things out of the bottom of the cart but I made it. I have a lot to do in the next two months before she gets here. Hopefully it will keep me busy so I don't go crazy. I think one of the biggest adjustments until she gets here will be just being at home everyday. It may sound weird but when you are used to flying around the country being in a different city 3 nights week it will be a little weird to sleep in my own bed every night. Especially when Kurtis will still be gone at least 3 nights a week! We are used to not seeing each other everyday, but not every single week for 4 days a week. I think I will miss him a little. :) I'm sure we will all adjust though. Right now, I'm working on the bedding for the baby's crib and getting the nursery ready. Kurtis and I went and picked the paint out on Monday so hopefully this weekend we will get it painted! I promise to post pics when we get it done. I will probably be working on the bedding today so tomorrow I will post some pics of the work in progress. I also made her a blessing dress so I will add pics of that with the bedding pics. I don't think pictures do it justice though, the dress is so cute. Its not your typical super fancy blessing dress, as my mom calls it...its shabby sheik. Well, that's it for now. You will probably be hearing a lot more from now that I don't have a job!

Blessed

2009-12-21T15:45:00.000-08:00

Lately, especially since it is Christmas, I have been feeling overwhelmed by how blessed we are! Kurtis and I have the best families in the world, we have great friends, good jobs, we have everything we could ask for and more. I love this time of year, (except maybe the mall parking lot and all of University Parkway!), I love Christmas music, Christmas lights and being with family so much. I love the opportunity we have to think about the Savior and how much he and Heavenly Father love us. I can't even express how grateful I am for the amazing gift of the atonement. I am so so so grateful for the knowledge that whenever I am completely overwhelmed and stressed about whatever it may be I can pray and I instantly feel better. Again, just so blessed. I don't think I say that I appreciate it enough. With this really big event coming up in our lives I am so grateful for everything that we have and that we are going to be blessed to have a baby girl come into our lives. I am so thankful for an amazing husband who I know is going to make an amazing father. I can't wait for the next step!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

2009-12-12T09:02:00.000-08:00

I realize I have been a total slacker of a blogger lately. And you know what, Im not even going to apologize. :) It is pretty crazy how busy things have been. To give you a little example...we decorated our house on December 1st for Christmas and everything got done but the decorating of the tree. Last year when we took the decorations down we noticed that half the lights on our prelit tree were out and we didn't want to deal with it then so we decided to wait until this year. Much to Kurtis's dismay it took him about 6 hours to figure out which lights needed to be replaced and restrung. He was not very happy about it but when all was said and done it look great. Now if we could just find the time to decorate the tree! Seriously, its kind of ridiculous how busy we have been. We go to work throughout the week and come home and it seems like we are immediately off to something else. Oh well, I guess that is how is goes this time of year. We are excited for Christmas and especially excited that both of our schedules for work mean we get home in the early afternoon of Christmas Eve and don't work the rest of the year! That sound so good to me! I'm about fed up with work. My feet hurt after like an hour of flying and I get cranky a lot quicker. But, that said, after talking to my doctor about how long I should and can work I am going to try to make it through most of January. Hopefully I can stick it out for 3 weeks in January. If anyone knows where we can get a money tree then I can stop working now! Yeah, I keep hoping for that but so far to no avail. :) I am so excited to have some time before this baby comes to get the nursery all ready and everything prepared. We can't wait for our little girl to be here!

5 month Prego Pic

2009-11-08T12:36:00.000-08:00

Here it is. Me at 5 months. I guess I should just be glad that its starting to look like a baby in my tummy and not just that I have a gut or am getting fat!

We are having a baby GIRL!

2009-11-07T15:52:00.000-08:00

WE ARE HAVING A GIRL! My 20 week ultrasound was yesterday and can I just tell you how crazy I was going waiting for it to come!? Pretty crazy! We went in yesterday about 3 and found out that our baby is a girl. We are really excited. Kurtis was hoping for a boy but is just as happy with a girl. He even admitted he kind of knew all along that it would be a girl, plus he says he gets along better with girls anyway! It was so amazing to see our little girl move on the screen. She kept putting her little hands up in front of her face. Its amazing how much she has grown just since my last ultrasound a month ago. Everything looked good, she has all the right parts in the right places so we are very grateful for that. Its amazing what they can do with technology now! After the appointment we went straight to the Baby Gap and bought the cutest little knit dress I have ever seen! I can't even express how happy and excited we are. Now, I can get working on decorating the nursery, that should keep me busy and then before we know it she will be here! It really is so crazy to think that soon we will have a little human that we are in charge of. Sometimes I still forget that this baby is going to come out soon and our lives will most likely change dramatically. We can't wait! For right now, we are getting all the sleep we can and going on some pretty cool trips (which I have been lazy about blogging about but will soon post pictures!)

Painting some walls and beautiful Fall!

2009-09-30T08:08:00.000-07:00

So, recently I decided I wanted to do some painting in our house. Kurtis was super excited about it! :) Anyone who knows my husband very well knows that he is a perfectionist to the max! So, he wasn't thrilled with the idea but he went along with it because he loves me so much. First we took on the front wall in our living room and then when that was finished I liked it so much and was so thrilled with it that I decided I wanted to paint a wall in the kitchen the same color. Again, Kurtis was really happy about this. But, it is all done now and I love it! He does too actually! Now I just can't wait to find out what this baby is and then we can start on the nursery.

This last weekend we went to my families cabin at Fish Lake and we couldn't have picked a better weekend! It was so beautiful. I thought for sure it would be fairly cold but it was so warm, not a cloud in the sky and the colors of leaves on the mountain were amazing. We also went to Capital Reef on Saturday and that was also amazingly beautiful. We are so spoiled to have so many beautiful surroundings so close to where we live! Today we are headed to Park City for two days and apparently we will be in the snow the whole time which will be fun for a change and then we are going to Costa Rica on Sunday for our 1 year anniversary! I'll be sure to posts pics from that amazing place. Oh, and just a random side note...I felt the baby move last night for the first time and it was probably the most amazing thing I have ever felt!

Sick and tired...

2009-09-06T14:25:00.000-07:00

So, I really don't have anything that great to blog about. I was just bored sitting here and thought I would. I have to admit too, this might not be the most positive blog I've written. Last week was a really hard week at work. I had a 4 day trip that lasted forever and I had to get up at like 3 am for 3 days in a row! I thought it would be okay because Im so tired all the time anyway that it usually isn't very hard for me to go to sleep early. Anyway, I did go to sleep early and got all the rest I could but obviously that wasn't enough. I started bleeding again Thursday and by night it was worse then its ever been. Needless to say, I was totally freaking out but knew there wasn't a lot I could do about it at 11 pm. So, I called the doctor in the morning and went in to check the heartbeat. It took the nurse like forever to find it and we heard it beat like 3 times and then we lost it again. She said we could do an ultra sound but she felt good that we at least found it. I said I trusted them and if she feels okay then I feel okay too. They said I should take it really easy all weekend and pretty much do nothing. So, thats pretty much what I did, Nothing! It was hard to just watch movies and stuff when I had a lot of things I wanted to get done but it was worth. Im doing better today and trying to decide whether or not to call in sick tomorrow of just suck it up and go to work at 6:30. Im really looking forward to the next few weeks when I should start feeling better. Oh, yesterday I tried to put some pants on and they were a bit tight. Yes, I wore them with the top button unbuttoned all day! But Kurtis and I decided to take our first prego pick so I sucked it in best I could so I could at least have my pants done up in the picture! Let me just add how thankful I am to my amazing husband. He really goes above and beyond what he should have to do for me!

First Doctors appt.

2009-08-17T14:57:00.000-07:00

So, today we had our first doctors appointment. Although, we kind of cheated a little and got an ultrasound last Monday. Okay, I guess I should back up a little bit even though I won't go into too much detail because that part is all over now. Lets see...last weekend I got a little paranoid about some bleeding that I had been having so I called the doctors office and they had me go in a get a blood test done on Friday and again on Sunday so they could measure my hormone levels and make sure they were going up like they should. So, we got that over with and then they had us come in for an ultrasound last Monday. Everything looked really good and we even got to hear the heartbeat! It was the most amazing sound ever and made me feel so much better after I was trying not to think the worst all weekend. Then today was the official appointment. It went really well. I really liked the doctor I saw and everything looked good. We also found out why there was some bleeding going on which was really reassuring and nothing to worry about. I also got a prescription for hopefully some pills that will make this morning sickness (pretty much all day sickness for me!) at least a little better. Oh, and the doctor said that even though the ultrasound showed that I was not quite as far along as they thought I was he said it wasn't a big enough difference to change the due date. So, looks like it will be March 24th! I kinda have a feeling it will be a little later than that but who knows. Kurtis and I met on April 1st so that would be pretty funny if that is when the baby was born. Our whole life would be a joke! Okay, lame I know. Well, thats it for now.

A little surprise....

2009-08-06T20:12:00.000-07:00

So, I can't keep it in any longer! Kurtis and I are going to have a baby!!! We are so excited! Im not very far along and I was going to try to wait to say anything until I had my first doctors appt., but anyone who knows me knows I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. I have a doctors appt on the 17th and we are anxiously awaiting that. Until then, when we should find out a more definitive due date, the date we have is March 24th. We are so excited, a little surprised that is happened this quickly after going off birth control, but we are not complaining at all! Can you tell Im happy about this? :) I took a pregnancy test about a week and a half ago and I think I have been pretty much in shock so that has what has kept my mouth shut for this long. I have to admit, I feel like crap a lot of the time but I guess that is what happens. For someone who loves food as much as I do its kind of weird to have absolutely no appetite at all. Every time I think about any kind of food it make me want to throw up, I actually did throw up at work on the plane in the galley today! That was an adventure! But, bring on the sickness because I will have a little miracle to show for it next spring! Crazy!

Crazy, yet super fun month of July!

2009-07-26T17:59:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness! Okay, so I have been a slacker blogger but I do think I have a good excuse. I have slept in my own bed for 2, yes 2 nights in the entire month of July. Now, don't get me wrong, it has been a very enjoyable month but it has been a crazy one. First we went to Salina for the 4th of July with Kurtis's family which was so much fun. Seriously, if you have never done Salina fireworks (which you probably haven't!) they are the best fireworks I have ever seen! Really! Then it was back to work again for 6 days in a row (yes, my very favorite thing, working 6 days in a row!) but then it was straight up to Echo Lake in Montana. Kurtis met me at the airport on the 12th and we headed up there. It really is my most very favorite place in the whole world. I promise I will post pics soon. So, it was 4 1/2 days there then back to work for 4 days and then another 5 days in paradise. Laying on the dock in the sun, tons of time with my mom's family, and plenty of card playing. We had a great time. We didn't HAVE to do anything. Kurtis went golfing with my dad and Grandpa Fritz and I got a tan. The lake was the perfect temperature this year, it rained for the first 2 days but was beautiful after that. Now its back to real life. Still a little crazy but we will be at home a little more this month. We might have to pull out the tent and go camping one of these weekend soon! So much fun to have, so little time! Isn't work so inconvenient? :)

Back to real life and another birthday for both of us!

2009-06-20T09:55:00.000-07:00

So, I know we have been home from our big trip for almost two weeks and I am a slacker blogger but we have been home for about 24 hours since then. We have been working none stop since we got home. Anyway, the vacation was amazing! We both just feel so lucky and blessed to have been able to have that experience! We did and saw so many amazing things. Thankfully everything worked out how we planned on our trip home (the whole 36 HOUR journey!) We even all got business class from Tokyo to LA!

Now that we are back to real life, work is crazy like usual for the summer. Kurtis and I flew together this past week so that we could be with each other on our birthdays. Kurtis's birthday is the 18th and mine is the 19th. So, we thought we would get home from work late afternoon and his birthday and go to dinner. Well, thankfully it worked out that way, we were thinking we might be spending his birthday in Souix Falls, South Dakota! For work we were there on Tuesday night for a very short layover. We flew out the next morning at 5:30 am. About 2 minutes into our flight we had some major problems that made us land back in Souix Falls. The plane was broken for the next two days so we were stuck hanging out in S.D. until it was fixed! Not my favorite place in the country but at least we were together and they figured out the problem and fixed it so we were safe and we got home only an hour after we were supposed to.

I have the best husband ever! For my birthday we went to Park City and rode the Alpine slide and coaster and had a blast! It was the most beautiful day ever! There was not a cloud in the sky and the breeze off the mountains up in Park City was perfect. We didn't even know before we went but there was a jazz festival going on on Main St. so we had a wonderful dinner at an outside table at the Eating Establishment on Main with live jazz and amazing food! Then, as we were getting ready to leave this guy in the visitor info booth snagged us and gave us a 2 night stay at a brand new resort hotel at the Canyons for $40! We can use it whenever between now and December! So, needless to say it was such a great day! I can't believe I am 27, pretty old. My husband is even older! He turned 30 this week! I love you babe! You are wonderful!

Riding the lift up to the slide and on the coaster

Eating on Main St.

Still in Malaysia and loving it!

2009-06-03T17:16:00.000-07:00

So, I had a minute this morning and I thought I would write on our blog and update anyone who reads it on what an amazing vacation we are having! We are so lucky to be able to do this and it is so fun that my aunt and uncle live here so that we just get to enjoy it and didn't have to do all the work of planning everything we do. We went to Cambodia last weekend to visit Ankgor Wat. It was the most amazing, breath taking place I have ever been! I'll try to get my dad to help me post some pics from his camera so you can get a taste of what I am talking about. It was built back in the 12th century and never lost to the Cambodians but the western world didn't know about it until the 1800s when a British guy discovered it. Pictures do not even do it justice. The temples were massive and the carvings are so detailed. Plus, the place we stayed was the nicest hotel Kurtis and I have ever and probably will ever stay at in our lives! The Cambodian people are so nice and friendly and the kids are so cute I can see why Angelina Jolie picked one up when she was filming Tomb Raider!

We have had so much fun in Kuala Lumpur too. Yesterday we went on a canopy tour over the jungle and went to see Batu caves. Batu Caves are the worlds 2nd most visited site next to Mecca so that was pretty cool. The caves themselves were amazing and then the Hindus have built temple inside of them. Today I think we are doing a pool day and later on heading out to see the fireflys on a canoe down the river. Pretty exotic stuff! My only concern is that I might die of mosquito bites! I have so many it is quite ridiculous, I woke up this morning with ten fresh bites, 3 of which are on my face! I seem to be the one they like the most because no one else seems to have nearly as many as I do. But, if the bites are what I have to live with to have this experience then I think I will survive! Well, thats it for now. We only have a couple more days so we will enjoy every second of it before it is back to real life.

Malaysia

2009-05-12T17:02:00.001-07:00

So only a week and a half before we head to Malaysia and we couldn't be more excited. We were talking yesterday about how we feel like we are kind of just going as part of the group and we have no idea what the group is gonna do once we get there. I mean Aubrey's aunt Laurie and uncle Spencer live there and are gonna take great care of us. It's just that they have some fun things planned to do over there we just don't really know exactly what or when. So when people ask what we are gonna do there we don't really have an answer. It's gonna be amazing and we can't wait to share it with you all. We will try to take tons of pics so we can document this once in a lifetime experience.

Yesterday, we helped the Fullmers, Aubrey's parents, take off the wallpaper in their bedroom and then paint. I haven't taken off a ton of wallpaper in my life, but it was actually not too bad. We rented this steamer from Home Depot, got some scrapers, and went to town. It took us about 4 hours to get it off, with a lunch break. Then we painted and now the room looks much different. It was Wendy's b-day present from last year. We finally got it done. YAY!

Mother's Day was great. We got to talk to Nate. He sounds great and it was really good to talk with him and hear about his experiences so far. Hopefully all the moms out there had an amazing day. We love and appreciate all you do!

Well, that's it for now. I need to go eat dinner. And watch America's Fattest Loser Idol, or whatever that show is called.

Spring is here! Then again maybe not...

2009-04-27T15:59:00.000-07:00

So, I was so happy that things are turning green and the weather has been so nice and then this last weekend came! I was not a fan of how cold and rainy it was but I guess I am thankful for the moisture. I feel super bad for my friend Nancy because it was her wedding reception on Saturday and it was supposed to be outside. It turned out wonderful anyway even though they had to move it indoors. Let see what else can I talk about....I was freaking out about my crappy work schedule for next month but thankfully someone picked up the trip I had that went over the time we are going to be in Malaysia so Im super happy about that. I bought my first pair of Chacos today (awesome hiking sandals) and I am excited about them. I have wanted some for like 5 years now and I finally got the guts to spend that much on sandals. My excuse: going to Malaysia for two weeks and needed good shoes to hike around in! We are flying out on May 24th and are really getting excited about it. Kurtis and I are going to try to fit all of the things we pack in our carry-on bags to avoid checking any bags. We will see how that works...I have my doubts for two weeks in a foreign country. Especially when we have the lovely underwear that takes up so much room. :) Flying stand-by and checked luggage doesn't really go along though so hopefully we will be able to fit everything in our carry-ons! So, thats about it with us for now anyway....

A Big Trip Coming Up...

2009-04-01T07:25:00.001-07:00

So, there really isn't too much going on in our lives. Nothing really blog worthy but I was told by a good friend or rather threatened that if I didn't update my blog she would be forced to shun me. Of course I don't want that to happen so here I am writing about nothing really. I am really excited for conference this weekend. It seems the older I get the more I count down the days till conference. I love to hear what the leaders of the church have to say to us and things I can take from their talks and improve on. I always need a good kick in the butt for what I need to do better. Next weekend Kurtis and I are going to St. George for the weekend for Nancy and Danny's wedding! That will be really fun and hopefully the weather will be nice and we can get out of freaking winter weather! Probably the biggest news for us is Kurtis and I are going to Malaysia at the end of May. My aunt and uncle are living there right now so we are tagging along with my parents and heading over there. It will take place of our Costa Rica trip we were planning for our 1st anniversary. We figured going to Malaysia and being able to stay with and be taken around by people we know who are living there is probably pretty rare so we couldn't pass it up! Hopefully everything works out okay with the flights and things since this will be our first time going foreign on stand by. If everything goes well we should get first class the whole way! Yay! Well, thats about it for us. Im sure I will write after this weekend all about my favorite parts of conference.

Rock Climbing!

2009-03-07T07:41:00.000-08:00

So, as Kurtis said in his last post...we went rock climbing last weekend. Sorry it took a week to put these pics up but I'm slow, what can I say? My sister Meg and her husband Steve go climbing like every week at least and Steve is like Spider Man. They talked us into going with them. It was really fun. I have to admit I didn't realize how afraid of heights I was until I was half way up the wall. I kind of had a freak out. I started sweating and breathing really hard. But, I got over it. Meg was climbing by me and talked me up the wall and it got better and better every time. By the time we were done though, my muscles were shaking! It was a lot of work. Hopefully next time we go I will learn to use my legs more cause I think I pretty much pulled myself up with my arms. I don't think we will be the avid rock climbers that Meg and Steve are but we will go again for sure! So here are a couple pics from our excursion.

P.S. Can I just say how over winter I am?! We got mountain bikes for Christmas and I can't wait until it is warm and we can use them! We also got camping stuff for our wedding so I am so excited to go on road trips and use the stuff we got. Every weekend will be a new adventure when it gets warm enough!

FYI

2009-03-04T21:09:00.000-08:00

Just so you all know, we do have some new pics coming. We went rock climbing at an indoor climbing place in Provo and we took some pics. It was rather fun. I really thought I would die because I can barely lift a bag of garbage to put it in the dumpster let alone this tubby body of mine up a wall. It was crazy that I actually did. Like 6 times! It wasn't extremely graceful or pretty, but I did it and had fun at the same time. Thanks to Steve and Meg for the great day! Well that's about it for now. I do have simulator training on Saturday and I am not really looking forward to it. It's good that we have to do it, it's just not that much fun because it's stressful. We sit and fly that thing doing all sorts of emergency training stuff for about 4 hours. I have to study for the next couple days to refresh my memory on some stuff and get up to speed on changes to procedures that have come in the last few months. Anyway, that's boring and I don't want to bore any of you with stupid pilot stuff. Hopefully we will get those pictures up soon and you can see how awesome we are at climbing. Ha ha!

Blog off anyone?

We are having a blog off!! Boys vs. girls. Whoever writes the best post on their blog wins. The readers get to vote. Now I know that most of you will vote for Aubrey, but you have to give me points just for blogging because I am a guy and it seems like most of the bloggers out there are chicks. Anyway, it was this day last year, and many years previous, that I wasn't sure if I would ever have a Valentines Day where I had someone to really share it with. Now that I do, I couldn't be happier! My beautiful wife has completely made my day today. We exchanged gifts, had breakfast together, and I am planning on making dinner tonight (dominos). Yesterday Aubrey, Meg and Wendy made gingerbread cookies to give to family so today we are gonna make the rounds with the cookies. My sisters are like freaking out because this is the first time that I have ever given them anything for V-Day. Sad but true. That's just one example of how amazing my wife is. She thinks of those things. Happy Valentines Day to you all! May all your wildest dreams come true!

The best husband ever!

2009-02-14T09:13:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while and my husband has been doing a lot of blogging. I thought I would just take a second to be really sappy and say how great my husband is. He really is the best. I am so blessed and lucky to have him for my husband. He does the dishes every night, he makes the bed and actually his side of the bed is probably more clean than mine is! And besides all those wonderful things that he does, he is such a good person. He is a really good Sunday School teacher to the 14 and 15 year olds, he has a wonderful testimony and he makes me want to be a better person. Okay, I think I'm done now. He was so worth the wait!

Flying is for the birds

2009-02-08T11:57:00.000-08:00

So Aubrey and I didn't get to fly together this week. Unfortunately we don't fly together for the next two weeks either. It makes the trip go by extremely slow. It does make the saying about the heart growing fonder really feel true. So in that way, it's fun coming home and seeing her after being away. Valentines Day is coming up this next weekend and it is going to be very nice I think. I hope I live up to Aubrey's expectations. I mean, in Middle School when I had a girlfriend on V-Day it was like give a cheesy card and a box of penny candy or something and now that I am all grown up I actually have to do something special. I think we will just be spending it at home, but it will be the best V-Day I have ever had. Maybe I will even get her to kiss me! he he.

It's Sunday!!

2009-01-25T13:55:00.000-08:00

Today, we went to church and we taught the 14 and 15 year olds with a few 13 and 16 year olds mixed in. We taught about the translation of the Book of Mormon and the lost 116 pages and the three witnesses. Aubrey also made some cupcakes for the class. It was a birthday present for one of the girls who, incidentally, was not there today. It was very nice though. We have one of the most well behaved groups of kids I think I have ever seen. Granted it's only been two weeks, but so far so good. One thing I really like about teaching this class is we get to hear each others testimonies when normally we don't just share that with each other. We really should more often but it's very special to hear that each week. I married a fantastic woman! Oh did I mention that in my last post?

A husbands rambling

2009-01-24T21:37:00.001-08:00

So this is Kurtis and I am a blog virgin so go easy on me with your comments ok. So far Aubrey has been posting because she set this up and I haven't had access to be able to post. This is pretty cool though. I kind of like typing about random things that I can't imagine anyone really caring that much about. Aubrey is way better at this and I most likely will not be posting very often so if you are a frequent viewer of this blog, consider yourself very lucky.

As most of you know Aubrey and I were married in October. Let me just tell you how incredible it is to be her husband. It's so great! She is such an amazing woman. But enough with the sappy lovey dovey stuff. You don't want to hear that anyway.

Lately we have seen a lot of movies and done a lot of shopping and spending all our "hard" earned money. I put hard in quotes because all I do is sit around all day in an uncomfortable chair in the front of a long skinny tube. But we have been having lots of fun and we love when we get to work together. It sure seems a lot less like work when she is there. It's more like a vacation. I wish we flew to Paris and Hawaii and stuff. But we like going to Bozeman Montana. Or Butte. (That's pronounced like, well, not like butt) I am excited because I bought a new flight bag. It's nice. I need one because I am still using the one I have had since I started about 3 years ago. It was just a samsonite, or swanson, swammy, slappy, whatever kind of bag. It has holes in the bottom and I am just waiting for my charts and headset to fall out the bottom. How embarrassing would that be? Ok I am just rambling and Aubrey is telling me to stop so we can go to bed. Oh yeah we are teaching 14 and 15 year olds in sunday school now. Not sure if she already told you that. But that's why we have to go to bed. It's getting to be past our bedtime. I think it's 1015. Anyway, you are all welcome to critique my first post so I can improve them in the future. Thanks! Love ya! bye

Nothing too exciting

2009-01-21T17:42:00.001-08:00

So, I have to say I'm a little sad no one has commented on my last post about Christmas but I'll get over it. I don't really have anything special to write about now except that I haven't blogged in a while and I want to vent about what I have to do tommorrow. I have to go to recurrent. Which means that I have to go back to flight attendant training. They make everyone go back every year. Which is good cause it refreshes your memory but Im just not too excited about it. It will be nice when it is over. But there are some pluses about it. I get to hang out with my friend Elizabeth who I haven't hung out with in a while and well... thats about the only plus. But it is a good plus! Anyway, wish me luck. And hopefully it goes well!

Christmas!!!

2008-12-29T08:23:00.000-08:00

Christmas Eve and new Pjs!

We had a wonderful Christmas. We were at my Nona and Grandpa Fritz's for Christmas Eve and my parents house for some of Christmas day and then went to Kurtis's sister Kim's house in Alpine for Christmas night. We didn't have any little kids with us on Christmas day so that was a little different but it was nice to sleep in and do what we wanted. Here are some pics....

Meg and Steve and Kurtis and I

Kissing under the mistletoe.

Our first Christmas tree!

No work, All play, and same pay!

2008-12-18T07:39:00.000-08:00

Yay! So, Kurtis and I got to come home a day early from our trip this week because of the awful weather. We were really late coming into Chicago on Tuesday night so that meant we didn't have enough rest time to get up at 4:30 am for our flight to Cincinatti. So they got another crew to do that flight and since we were only going to Minneapolis and then home the next day they decided we could just go home! So we got to ride home as passengers yesterday. Of course our flight was delayed but we still got home a day early! And the very best part is that we get paid like we worked the whole trip! We were really excited especially since we have to start another trip on Saturday so we can have a week off for Christmas. Then last night because I was home I got to go to dinner with all my high school girlfriends. It was so much fun to talk about old times and we laughed a lot even if our waitress hated us!

Thanksgiving Weekend

2008-12-02T07:56:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We went to Kurtis's sisters house in South Jordan and everyone was there except for two of his sisters and their families and we missed them! But it was a great day and of course I ate way too much! On Friday we went down to Salina to help Ken and Karren put up their lights on the house and to just hang out with them. It was really fun. We played games, Kurtis put the lights up on the house and had a good time. Then on Saturday we had tickets to the Hale Theater so we left Salina and came back north. We went to the play with Kathy, Kurtis's sister and her friend Mary Ann. We saw Into the Woods. I've never seen it before and it was so cute. It was kind of all the stories like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, etc. put together. The girl that played Little Red Riding Hood did such a good job, she was really funny. Anyway, it was a great weekend and guess what?! I took some pictures!

The sunset was so amazing! I took the pics from the car though so its kinda blurry!

Thanksgiving is almost here!

2008-11-24T07:10:00.000-08:00

This post is not going to be very exciting but a friend who is quite demanding told me I needed to update, so here it is. The game on Saturday was pretty exciting, that is if you are a Ute fan! I honestly didn't really care who won I just wanted it to be a good game and pretty much BYU got creamed. So I was a little disapointed. Oh well. Its back to work today. I work this afternoon and Kurtis doesn't work until tomorrow and he gets home on Wednesday night so I am jealous. Im in Canada two nights this week which I don't really like just because I can't use my phone there. Another oh well. Im excited for Thanksgiving though. We are going to Kurtis's sisters house in South Jordan. I love the Holidays and Im excited to spend Thanksgiving with my new family! Im also excited to decorate for Christmas and start listening to Christmas music because I will always be one of those people that refuse to listen to Christmas music or put decorations up until after Thanksgiving! I'll take pictures on Thanksgiving so my next blog should have pics!

So, i finally figured out how to put pictures in with my posts. I seriously struggle when it comes to doing new things on the computer. So, here are some of the pictures that my sister's husband Steve took of us on our wedding day. If you want to see the pictures that our photographer took you can go to danhixsonphotography.com.

My aunt Nicole made our cake, didn't she do an amazing job!?

News of the week: North Sevier takes state in 1-A football!

2008-11-15T23:22:00.001-08:00

I was all excited to post pics of San Antonio because Kurtis and I were there for 2 days this week but unfortunatly I totally got sick the first day and didn't feel like doing much of anything! I was so upset because I was really excited to actually be in a warm place and pictures of the things we did. Oh well, maybe next week in Oakland! So, work was not very eventful and I felt like crap most of the trip but I did fly with a flight attendant that I really got along with and we had some great conversations. Also, my last flight of my trip was from Chicago to Salt Lake and there was a guy in first class who I knew I have seen in a lot of movies but I could not put my finger on it. Then I remembered one, he was the guard in Shawshank Redemption that beat the crap out of Tim Robbins! Not really that big of deal, it just would have driven me crazy if I couldn't remember it. Then today Kurtis and I went to the North Sevier, (yeah, that is where my husband went to high school!), state champion football game and then won! It was pretty exciting considering it was the only time they have won state in football! We also finally got a hold of Meg's camera and made a disk of some wedding pics that her husband Steve took of us. So, I will try to see if I can figure out how to post them!

Nothing special

2008-11-08T13:37:00.000-08:00

So, Kurtis and I got to fly together this week which was really good. And next week we have two nights in San Antonio so hopefully the weather is good and we will go down to the Riverwalk and take some pics! We went to see the Changeling last night and it was so sad but really good. We arn't doing anything too special today. Kurtis has to teach Elders Quorum tomorrow so we are reading the lesson for that. Other then that we are doing a bunch of boring stuff like getting car insurance together and paying our bills. But I love boring married people stuff!

Good bye for a little while to Elder Fullmer

Since Kurtis and I both work at the airport and can get through security we kind of cheated and went to the airport to see my brother on Monday! It was so good to see him because we were on our honeymoon when he went into the MTC so I was glad we had a chance to say good-bye. He looked so good and seemed really excited. It was just he and his comp. Elder Cook so at least they had each other! We took them to eat at the classiest place in the airport...Burger King! :) Gross! But, the company was great. I was so proud of myself cause I didn't even cry! We stayed with them until they had to get on the plane. He wasn't really nervous until it was time to get on the plane and then he said "k, Im freakin out a little!" He will do great and be an amazing missionary I am sure. After we left I was kicking myself though because I didn't take one picture!!! I was so mad! I even checked to make sure my camera had batteries, anyone I was upset and then I started to cry! I was excited to post pics on the blog and stuff. Oh well, what do you do. Its back to work tonight, without Kurtis. :(

Putting together our new home!

2008-10-25T13:39:00.000-07:00

So, our new washer, dryer, dresser and bed was delivered today and we are really excited! We love our place and it gets cuter and homier everyday. Today we are just putting things together still and hanging around at our house. We don't have to go back to work till Tuesday which is great but we are not flying together this week which we really hate. Next month we work the same days so hopefully we will be able to get some people to trade with us so we can work together. But for now, we will just enjoy putting our new home together!
