There's going to be a new mommy on the block!!!

I'M PREGNANT!!

Morgan and I are so excited to be taking this next step in life! We are just so excited to become parents! I'm due Oct. 15. (That puts me at being 12 weeks along). We went to the doctor this morning and were able to hear the heart beat! I really think that it was the best sound that I have heard thus far in my life. Talk about love! I feel so fortunate to have this opportunity to become a mom. We have an ultrasound scheduled in 5 weeks, that's when we should be able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. :-)
I think this cartoon is just too cute. I've felts pretty good so far, I can't complain! We'll see how I feel this summer! I have a feeling that it's going to be a LONG summer! (I'm not looking forward to 100 degree temps with 100 % humidity...) It will be worth it though!!

I've been tagged!


Yeay, I’ve been tagged for the first time (thanks Jenny!). I’m officially in the blogging world.

Anyway, here are the rules.Four people will be tagged. You have to answer the questions, then post on the person tagged, let them know they are tagged, and then they post the answers. It is always fun to learn more about people!!!

10 Years ago:
March of 1998…. Whoa. Ok, I was only 12, going 13. Man, I’m young! I was in middle school. I think the big thing then for me was playing the French Horn. I think that was the year that I picked it up. I was best buds with Becky and Rachel. I also in a "club" called the Pink Ladies with 3 other girls at school who lived in my neighborhood. We thought we were pretty cool.

5 Things on my To Do List Today!
1. Find places to put the large items I bought at Sam’s.
2. Laundry.
3. Prepare my lesson for YW.
4. Do my taxes. I’ve been a slacker this year…
5. RELAX!

Things I would do if I were a Billionaire
1. Give $$ to each member of my family.2. Buy houses in Georgia, Maine, Utah, and somewhere Tropical. I would also buy a jet to get to each place.
3. Travel the world.
4. Give money to worthy causes and organizations. I think I would be like Ira Fulton is at BYU. Man, she does amazing things!
5. Invest.

Three of my bad habits
1. After I get dressed in the morning, I usually change my mind and throw what ever clothes I had on, onto the floor and it usually piles up for a few days before I clean them up. I’m a slob. (but somehow the rest of the house stays clean, I guess I’m allowed one room to be messy!)
2. I am always making “To Do” lists. Then, when I get home from work, I never look at them! I’m not sure why I constantly do this…
3. An annoying habit… whenever I get into my car, or house, I lock the doors immediately. I think I’m paranoid.

Five places I have lived
1. Alpharetta, GA
2. Provo, UT
3. Orono, ME (just for 2 months this past summer)
4. Greenville, NC
5. We’ll see what happens in 18 months, I bet we will be somewhere new! Crazy, I know.

Five Jobs I have had
1. Mail Clerk at Mailboxes, etc.
2. Hallmark Store girlie
3. Administrative Assistant
4. Mail Clerk at BYU
5. Pre-Kindergarten Teacher

Things that people do not know about me
1. I can solve a Rubik’s Cube! I can do it in about 2 minutes! (I'm a nerd)
2. I appeared in “In the Line of Fire,” A rated R movie with Clint Eastwood in it. (Rachel, my sis was in it too).
3. I have a rather large birthmark on my forehead. Thankfully it has faded a bit, and make-up covers it easily.
4. I make it a point daily to drink 64 ounces (1/2 gal.) of water a day.
5. I have recently become addicted to reading various crafty blogs. I love the ideas they have!

SO, I'm supposed to tag 4 people now... how about if you want to be tagged, consider yourself tagged!

SO Excited!

So, I'm totally enthralled by the Twilight series. I just found a picture of what the Cullen family will look like in the movie!! I am SO excited to see this. I just really hope that it plays out as well as it did in my mind as I was reading the books!


On an even more exciting note.... book four comes out in August!!!! Hooray! I think that I know what I'll be doing the second half of July.... rereading books 1-3. Man, I'm a nerd. (I think Morgan thinks so too while I read these... I totally get sucked into them!)
