I'm Still In Love!

It's been one year since our wedding. Holy cow! Time has flown!

I am so in love with my handsome husband and love spending time with him everyday! I love him more than the day we got married and continue to fall in love with him every single day! I can't imagine being this happy with anyone else, he makes me feel so special and loved and I am so extremely happy that I get to spend eternity with him! (He's also going to be the best daddy in the world and I am so happy he'll be the father of my children!)

For our anniversary, I got Shane a projector, (because we were at Black Friday and he saw it and begged for it,) and he got his hair cut for me AND he took me to Park City for the weekend! (Park City is one of my favorite places!) We relaxed, shopped, watched movies, and ate yummy food. It was such a great weekend and I just feel so loved and full of happy feelings!

 We made bagel sandwiches in the car on the way up for lunch!

Nachos from Bandits! 

 A garden burger from Bandits!

 The kitchen sink was big enough to bathe in!

 Playing around in best Buy!

 Shane wanted ice for his drink. Hahaha.

 We both got a tostada from Baja Cantinas for our anniversary dinner.

 Playing with the toy he bought.

 Happy first anniversary!

 I'm obsessed with wine glasses!

Shane got his projector when we got home!
(Doesn't his hair look fantastic??)

Such a great weekend, I wish it didn't have to end!

Playing Catch Up

I haven't posted any pictures in a long time.

 Shane and puppy fell asleep together.

 We made caramel apples! Yummm!

 My sister's cute family on Halloween!

 Happy Halloween! (We don't do costumes.)

Sometimes when it's snowing out we like to get slurpees!

Trimester Two

The first trimester was not an easy one.

It's hard being told you're going to gain weight (when you really want to lose,)
 and that you have to be ok with it.

I could barely function I was so tired all the time!

I had a constant fear of miscarrying.

I couldn't tell anyone!! (This killed me!)

I threw up every single Monday, the rest of the week was dry
 heaving and feeling nauseous all day.

The only food that settled my stomach was potatoes.

Now I'm on my second trimester!

I wake up several times during the night, I never feel rested. . .
. . . so exhaustion is even worse now.

Nausea only hits late at night.

We finally told people we're expecting, YAY!

I'm still scared of miscarriage, but not as much as I was.

I haven't "popped" yet, I'm just getting chubby, (bummer.)

Fun Fact:

I have 15 other friends on facebook who are pregnant and due between March and July.

Emotions

I went crazy last night.

I had worked 9 hours at my day job and had to go straight to my night job.

The traffic was terrible.

Breaking Dawn Part 2 came out and since my second job is right by the theater, it was near impossible to find a parking spot.

I was almost late, (and I am NEVER late!)

There were only three of us working when there should have been five, (we didn't realize it would be so busy, party after party of women. Stupid Twilight.)

I was scheduled 6-10pm. I didn't get off until 11:15pm.

The only good news: Shane came and visited me. He ate food and I was able to snack off of his plate while we waited for my food, (we ordered it to go so I could eat it when I got home.)

I ordered a malibu chicken and a california malibu chicken, (I'd been craving this chicken all day long and was so excited!)

Side note: A malibu chicken is a fried chicken breast with swiss cheese, ham, and sauce on top. A california malibu is a grilled chicken breast with swiss cheese, ham, sliced avocado, and sauce on top.

We got my food. It was a calfiornia malibu without the avocado and sauce, and a steak.

A steak?! WHAT?!

We told my manager. They said they'd fix it. Never did.

I got home and threw away my food in anger and then cried. Yes, a bit dramatic, but I was tired and really looking forward to my chickens!!

My husband is a trooper. He just let me cry and tickled my back until I felt better. I'm so lucky. How he puts up with me I'll never know, but I sure appreciate him and all he does.

Here and There

It's hard working 8am -5pm when you're exhausted and don't feel well, not to mention I get to go to job #2 right after this one. I need to start getting to bed earlier.

It's October! What a great month! The leaves are changing, scary movies are coming out, corn mazes and pumpkin patches open, and the temperatures outside begin to drop. I love this month. I am so excited for hoodies, apple cider, and trick-or-treaters!

In November we are moving! Woo hoo! We're actually moving all of our things into a storage unit and then staying with my parents, but just until February. It's not what we had planned; the place we're going to move into was going to be available in December, and now it's not, but our lease will be up soon and we don't want to renew. So we're just going to crash at mom and dad's and save a few dollars before moving into our new place that we are so very excited for!

I love my husband! It's been almost a year since we got married and we have yet to have our first fight, or go a day without seeing each other since our first date. He makes me smile so easily, and he can always make me feel better when I'm grumpy or down. He has so much patience with me, I couldn't have married a better man! I cherish every moment we spend together. I just love Shane so much that I can't believe I haven't exploded because of all the love for him inside me!

Weekends!

Yay for weekend wear!

Friday night, the nieces slept over. We had fun! 

 Spaghetti for dinner!
(The girls were watching a movie and wouldn't pay attention to the camera. I promise they were happy.)

Bed jumping!

Fun at the Fair!

Saturday, September 8th, I went to the Utah State Fair with Shane, Brooklyn and her friend Britlyn, and my friend Alexis. We ate food, shopped, people watched, and had a blast! Brooklyn and Britlyn decided to go on rides so they weren't with us most of the time.

 Sexy boy!

 Friendship bracelets!

 Brooklyn feeling sick after all the rides.

 This picture was taken at the exact right moment. 

And by accident.

 "Touch me."

 Meant to improve circulation, but really just jiggled your bum.

 Best lip scrub!

 Shane bought a poncho!

We bought some delicious lemonade! 

Just A Few

Found a few pictures on my computer that I forgot about. 

These were all taken in July this year.

We got bored one night so we decorated our eggs.

 Hanging out at grandma's house.

 Playing guitar.

I made the coolest straw ever, but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

Cars, Cars, Cars

We just bought a truck.

Yeah we're crazy. No, not because we bought a truck, but because we have gone through so many vehicles in the past year. We didn't lose any, it was all on our terms. We just had different reasons for each car. How about we go through them, just for fun. Yes? (I have no pictures of the first few, sorry!)

Pepper
This was the car Shane had while we were dating. She was a beautiful, black Scion Tc, (I think??) The only reason we got rid of her was because he owed a lot on her and we weren't sure if we could afford a car payment after we got married. So we gave Pepper to his sister and she took over the loan for us. In return, she gave us a super ugly, but running and paid off car named Saffron.

Molly
She was the black Aveo I had bought a few years before we started dating. She was cute, but a little crappy. She was paid off, but had a lot of problems. We got rid of her in January 2012.

Saffron
She was ugly and I didn't like her. We ended up selling her back to Shane's sister in June 2012, (we were going to just trade her in somewhere, but his sister wanted her back.)

Ruby
She was the motorcycle Shane had bought a week before we started dating. We got rid of her in June 2012 because she made our insurance skyrocket and she was difficult. (You could only drive her in certain weather conditions and we had nowhere to store her.) She was red and so fun, but we just didn't need her.

Finnegan
Finn for short. We traded in Molly and got him in January 2012. He was a purple Nissan Cube, had great gas mileage, and no problems. He was adorable and I loved him. We ended up trading him in for a truck last weekend because he was the worse of the two cars we had at the time, (worse meaning he was basic and had no extras.) I loved him.

Miley
We got her in June 2012, she is not named after Miley Cyrus. She is a white Nissan Cube and she has all the extras. She's also newer than Finn was, (which is also why we traded in Finn and not her.) She is what I am currently driving.

Wendy
National Auto Plaza offered to buy Finn from us for what we owed on him, which was fantastic because every other dealer offered us $5,000 less. However, it was a big mistake. They lied to us about a lot of things and then sold us a truck, (Wendy,) that had problems the day after we took it home. They told us we had seven days to return it, (because we were so hesitant to buy it anyway,) and when we brought it back two days later they said our Cube was already sold and we can exchange it for something else, but we can't just return it because that's wasting their time. We had four, yes four, different salesmen yell at us. YELL. It was ridiculous. Anyway, Wendy was the truck we first came home with.

Buzz
Buzz is named after the first salesman who yelled at us. We picked him up last night, and he seemed great for the first few minutes, but then he started sounding weird, (not at all like when we test drove him.) Shane took him into a car place this morning and we found out there's an internal problem that will cost at least $500 to fix. I am so furious and fed up National Auto Plaza, I can't even express it in words. Once we get this truck fixed all will be ok, this is just a joke. I hate dealing with this idiotic place.

If you learn anything from this post, it's that NATIONAL AUTO PLAZA IS THE WORST PLACE IN THE WORLD and you should NEVER EVER EVER GO TO THEM! EVER!
