Birthday Thoughts!!

Well! This is it! Today, I turn 27! Is it just me or does it feel like getting older is going to make time fly by faster? I can't believe that it's the end of June, and I am certainly having a hard time believing that I am 27! Does that mean that I'm a grown up? I sure don't feel like one! I have spent my birthday morning online taking silly personality quizzes that Brittany found! I don't think that I'm quite a grown up yet!!! Well, let's see! I guess I ought to set some goals for the next year!! By this time next year I'll be a Senior at USU! Yeah! I might actually graduate by the time I'm 30!! (Wow, 30... ugh!) I would like to have fixed our baby making problems and be a mommy or be in the process of adopting!! (By the way, in 2 days we will be complete with insurance!! Doctors, here we come!!) I'd like to say that I'll be uber organized, but I don't think that will ever happen! Hmmm... I'd also like to say that I'll be deep involved in a steady and daily exercise routine... does that mean I have to start now though? Anyway, I think that'll do me as far as goals go! I want to keep realistic! Anyway, what are my plans for the day? I've got to go to work for a few hours where I'll have yummy cake! (My job is great about celebrating birthdays!) After work, I think we'll do dinner with mom & Blake, and then a full body massage!! I'm stoked!! (The massage won't be with mom and Blake - just in case you weren't sure!!) Anyway, I should probably go get ready for work now!! See ya later! Love, Me!

Father's Day

Hello all! I had a few minutes to kill so I'd thought I'd take a second to blog!! Things here are going pretty good! This weekend went by too quickly, but it was good, so I suppose there's no complaining! Friday night we went to the Summerfest with the Dutsons! I love the Summerfest! It's so fun to be outside, and even though it was crowded, it's fun to be mixed in with people from all walks of life! We had some dinner and walked around to peruse all of the talents that people put on display. There were some amazing photographers there - someday - maybe - that will be me!! Saturday brought a nice relaxing day! I was able to scrapbook for quite a while, which was nice, and the Nate & I took in some ALIAS! Such a good show! Today, Sunday, consisted of church - which was wonderful, more ALIAS, and dinner with Nate's family! Today is Fathers Day, but mom and dad went to Colorado for the weekend, so we won't be visiting them today! We are lucky to have two loving fathers and we are so grateful for them and for all of their love and support! Anyway, not much else has been going on! Just work, work, and more work! Time is flying by and before I know it, I'll get to see my sisters and meet my new niece! I'm very excited! Well, I suppose that's about it! Sorry there's not much exciting news! Love, Me!

New Nephew & Graduation

It was a crazy busy wonderful week last week and even though I wanted to share all of the good news, it was so busy! Nate & I got a new nephew last Tuesday! Jack was born at 9:26 in the morning weighing in at 7 lbs 9 oz and 19 inches long! He is adorable and looks pretty much nothing like Sam. They have the same tongue! That's about it! He has chubby little cheeks and he is so much fun to snuggle! Ollie is doing pretty good! Last night as we were leaving their house, she & Sam were getting ready to bake a pie, so I think she is feeling pretty good!

Anyway, another exciting feat for Nate's family is that Tom finally graduated! YAY! It was a great day for everyone when he walked across the stage (twice - once for South Campus and once for the High School.) I think that he finally realized that it is something worth celebrating! I've seen him for maybe 3 hours since then, but Nate's parents are on him about getting a job, so maybe he'll start to grow up a little!

Nate & I are doing great! We had a full house last week with Carl & Carlynne home. Carl is back in Oregon, but Carlynne will be here for another week and then she is going to Lance's graduation in Missouri! She is starting to show! On Saturday we went maternity shopping! We found her some really nice things! It has been fun to hang out with her this week!

We are so excited to see Amanda & Jen and the kids and to meet Baby Tran in a month or so!! This summer is going to fly by because of all the fun things that we get to do. We decided this morning that we are going to take a trip, all by ourselves, to Southern Utah! Nate really wants to go to Moab or the Arches, and I can't recall ever being there, so I think we'll take a long weekend soon and get away! Nate is still loving his job! I was telling Carlynne today that he is such a computer nerd (and I say that so lovinginly) and he'll come home and talk and talk about work... which is a good thing! We have been re-watching Alias and re-reading Harry Potter in order to be ready for the last book and the next movie! It's fun to have the same interests!!

Anyway, I just wanted to update you on what we have been doing! I'll be back soon! Love, Me!
