MEET THE LOVE OF OUR LIVES

KLAYTON KASH ANDERSEN

I had written this once already today and then my computer freaked out and it got lost. So last time we talked I was catching you up on our lives as I have let months go by since updating our blog. But I could not let the Birth of our sweet baby boy be missed. So here it is and I am leaving nothing out. Take it or leave it. Kevin and I had just gotten to California and before this I had begged and begged of someone from my family to come and be with me at this very crazy time in my life. Kevin had started his new job and was not home a lot. The people in our complex were new, the people in our ward were new, my doctor was new. EVERYTHING was new and I just was not comfortable being by myself of asking of someone's help that I barely knew. I was 36 weeks the day we moved into our apartment in Tustin. Lucky for me my sister Jillian drove all the way from Provo, Utah to come and help me out. She brought her kids Jace and Addison and we had so much fun! She had come a week or so sooner than my due date in case I came early. That was the least of our worries I guess you could say. We shopped and shopped and walked and walked. Nothing this kid was not coming. Then on February 7th the day hit, it was my due date and nothing. I went to the doctor and I was dialated to 2cm and 70% effaced. He asked if I wanted to be induced and I didn't and he agreed he said he would if I wanted it though. I just wanted my body to do it's own thing so we decided to wait. He said he guessed it wouldn't be longer than 3 to 5 days. We set another appointment just in case. Good thing because that boy still wasn't here. My mom had come by now and Jillian was getting antsy as she had been here 2 weeks by now. I packed my hospital bags before going to the Dr when I was a week overdue because he said he would not let me go over that because it became harmful to the baby. So I am thinking he is going to tell me to head on over to the hospital today after the appointment on the next day. So I go and I am STILL 2 stinkin cm dialated but more effaced. My Dr turns out was leaving that weekend for a trip so he scheduled my induction for that coming Tuesday. It was Thursday and I was so bummed/frustrated and mad he was now going to have me wait. He had me go over to the hospital to do a stress test for our baby to make sure he was fine. I got there and spent about 4 hours doing tests and moinitoring. At the end the nurse said I looked good and she just needed to call the Dr. Well my Dr I guess had already left on his trip so they called the on call Dr and he came in to look. He said our baby was teasing and at points his heart rate would drop a little. He asked if I wanted to be induced and although I didn't have a problem with that, everything was just so new that I really kinda wanted my doctor at least I was some what familiar with him. So the on call Dr said okay but gave me no option, I would have to come in again the next morning and do another test. That night Kevin got home from work and I gave him his valentines day present because I told him I had a feeling they were going to induce me in the morning rather I wanted to or not. He took the day off and came with me. The monitoring went well and the tests looked good so at the end the nurse once again said okay let me call the Dr and we will get you out of here. I was getting ready to call my mom to tell her we wanted to meet up for lunch when the Nurse came back in and said I know you are chomping at the bit to get out of here but you aren't leaving. I KNEW IT. She said my amniotic fluid dropped quite a bit. It was nothing dangerous but they didn't want to take any chances and were going to induce me. I was in shock I guess you could say. They took me and Kevin to the room where I would deliver had me strip down to my gown and the water works EXPLODED. I WAS FREAKIN TERRIFIED YOU GUYS!! I had no idea of what was going to happen, I hadn't been able to take classes with working going to school and moving and when I got here there of course were no openings and it was too late. After that I calmed down and just accepted it. They induced me at 2 in the afternoon on Friday the 14th and things weren't bad. They started me at a dose 3 and went from there with the pitocin increasing it by 3 every time. They got all the way to 21 and turned it back down. It was about 9:30 and my contractions were starting to have some kick so they came in to give me an epidural! Hallelujah to all you who went without is all I can say. The only problem here is that I started shaking all over out of control. Seriously I am sure it was the hormones but I also think it was because I was so anxious/nervous. Jillian and Kevin had to leave the room while they did it and let me tell you I was scared out of my mind for this too. I seriously have a high pain tolerance and am usually pretty brave about things but this just was making me into a liar. I have always been cautious when I think about epidurals because I am always thinking about how they might mess up and make me paralized forever, so needless to say I didn't think about it much. Dr. Chou a short asian lady was the one to give me my epidural and let me tell you I am sure she hated me. I could not stop shaking and I didn't curve my back as well as she had hoped. She asked me when she poked my back if it was on the left or right side of my spine which made me freak out even more!! I didn't know I was so scared I couldn't think straight. Then she told me I had to stop shaking to do it and I was trying my hardest. They gave me a pillow to hug and the nurse was holding on to me and I was holding her trying to stop myself from shaking. I know Dr, Chou was just trying to get it right and I was difficult but I swear it took a good 20 to 30 minutes to get it all done. Then after she asked me a ton of questions like can you taste a metal taste in your mouth? Noooo Can you feel it in your toes or legs are they tingling yet? NOOo so here i am thinking great after all this, it didn't work she couldn't put it in right because of me. Then it kicked in and it was great. Then later on that night Kevin and I were both trying to get some sleep. My blood pressure cuff checked my blood pressure every 15-30 minutes and my blood pressure was always low and when that happened the machine beeped until a nurse came to turn it off! It got really annoying really fast. Then at around 4 my water broke and i was dialated to an 8 and it all progressed really fast from there. I asked for them to top off my epidural as I was feeling a lot of my contractions and then they had me do a couple practice pushes. ANNNNNDDDDDDDD I had ANOTHER melt down. I just didn't i think I could do it. Kevin called my mom to let her know she should come now and the nurse was so nurse had a nice little stern talk with me. She said whats the matter sweetie and I just bawled and mumbled I don't know. She said listen this baby is coming whether you like it or not and this is the way he is coming so you just got to do it. SO I calmed down and started pushing with all my might. My epidural had worn off, maybe not all the way but I could feel Everything they were doing down there. I pushed for about 30 minutes and then I asked them how much longer I would have to push. They said about another 30 minutes. Man I wanted to give up. My mom told me is you push hard, I did mine in 3 pushes, so naturally I thought I could do that. Turns out I am a baby and pushed for about 45 minutes. My mom came in and was a HUGE help. She helped push on my back which helped more than anyone will know. Then my baby boy came into the world. They laid him on me and I just cried and cried. Kevin and I are so happy and feel so blessed to have a happy, healthy little boy. We are so happy to have our little family together. I love this boy SO INCREDIBLY MUCH. I don't know how we ever lived without him. He is 3 weeks tomorrow and we couldn't love him more. Here are some glimpses into our little family.

Playing Catch up

So the last time I posted I had news to share but I don't think I ever got to that point. Well the cats out of the bag as the time has come and gone. WE WERE Pregnant! haha Yes my precious little teensy tiny boy is here and we are so in love. I will post about it next but I will get there in time. So here Kevin and I were working and going to school just doing the married life thing and trying to get Kevin through school as quick as he could. He wanted OUT! So I continued to work full time and do school online while Kevin went to school full time and worked every chance he could. He worked so much more than I ever wanted him to. I felt like we never got to see each other. As the school year ended he started to job search because we had a baby on the way in February and we Knew we didn't want me working. Kevin had a few options that we knew of. He was interning for an investment company in Idaho Falls and we could take that route or he looked into some other jobs he looked into. One of them being DEALERSOCKET. A company some of his family has worked for and really enjoyed it and they recruit heavily from BYU-I and BYU. So as he explained to me if he got this job he would be traveling 2-3 weeks out of the month. If you know me I was not impressed, or thrilled so I really was against it. As time kept creeping we continued to pray and seek for possible job opportunities. We had pretty much ruled DEALERSOCKET out or I had because I just wasn't going to have my family be a part it just wasn't an option to me. They offered to fly Kevin out to California for a second interview and we had both decided he shouldn't waste their time or ours. As it got closer I had a change of heart and I guess Kevin did too. We thought you know what why not just go and get some more interview experience and if they offered anything we had decided that we were going to set some boundaries. See this company can place you anywhere and I only had a few places I'd be willing to go. Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Georgia where we had family and when he was traveling I could spend time with. So Kevin packed up his bag and was gone for two days! Those were the loneliest days of my life and it was then we both decided we didn't want him traveling at all. When Kevin returned home we thought that they would not offer him a job because of the placements we wanted and they could not Guarantee to place us there or in any place for that matter. So I had just kind of written them out of my mind but I guess Kevin was still wondering about them and thinking something would come through and they would place us if we were to have that job. The days came and went and they called and offered Kevin a job in California at their home office with NO TRAVELING, they opened up a new department and that's where he would work. I have never bawled my eyes out so hard. I knew that this was a huge blessing and we needed to go but I just did not want to think about it. For those of you who know me, I am very content in my small towns. I don't need a lot and to be honest I hate busy, dirty places and I feel like every city meets those standards. I had to face it that's where the Lord would have us be for then. They let Kevin start sooner because our baby situation and wanted us there Jan.6th. IT was less than 30 days away and so we hurried and gave our apartment complex our 30 day notice and let me job know I would be leaving and Kevin that he would be leaving for his as well. From there it really was all a blur.Finding housing over the internet and phone is not desire-able, but we had no other option it was all a mess and took weeks and weeks of research. California has so many stupid things they charge for like your parking spot where you live and if you have two cars you have to pay for each. Then you have your washing and drying you pay for, and so many other things I wish I could even remember and being like you have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!? Luckily we found a little place that is a commute to Kevin's work but it is not Overly priced. There are a lot of church members. It is quiet and everyone is so kind and nice. We were very blessed in finding this spot to live. So Kevin kept busy at school and work and so did I. We were packing up on a Friday and Kevin's graduation was that night. We both worked that Thursday as out last day and got off at noon. That Thursday afternoon Kevins parents and his brother and sister in law came and helped to load the big furniture. The next morning that Friday we finished packing and loading everything up. It really was a challenge and it was FREEZING COLD and snowing. Then we started cleaning around 2 that noon. Kevin had to be at the school at 4 for graduation and we are lucky we got it all done around 5. My landlord came and did the walk through and after I hurried to get ready. Kevins parents picked me up a little after 5 and we headed to our seats. The graduation ceremony really was great and I couldn't help but feel so emotional at how hard Kevin had worked to get there. He got home from his mission and in a little less than 2 years he graduated. He never skipped a semester Where BYU-I has 4 semesters in a year but you usually just go to 2 and have 2 off. He chose to go year round. It was here and he was done and we were moving on to the next step of our life! Graduation ended at around 10 and we went to our apartment to make one last walk through grab a few things that wouldnt fit in the U-box put it in the Rodeo and headed to Idaho Falls to spend the night at KEvin's brothers house. That Saturday morning we got up and hit the road. Kevin's parents came to help move and for his graduation so they drove one of our cars while we took the other. The weather was horrible and there were many many cars off of the road. We had bad weather up until we got to St. George. After that we stopped to get gas and people were out detailing cars in shorts. It was so weird. We went on to Vegas after that and stayed at his brother Bryan's house. Then our last stretch we went to Bakersfield. Stayed with his parents for a day and then took our flights to Colorado. WE had planned on spending christmas in Colorado with my family but it was difficult trying to make it all work and we had bumps along the way. WE had a wonderful week at home and were refueled. WE headed back to LA where Kevins parents picked us up and headed to Tustin. We used U-hauls U-boxs so our stuff was already in Tustin. When we got off our flight the U-haul people had called us to tell us they couldn't find our stuff. STRESSFUL. By the time we made it to Tustin they had found them. Kevin and his dad headed to pick them up and in the mean time there was like 10 missionaries Kevin had called to help us unpack it all. How grateful I am to all those sisters and elders I was 36 weeks pregnant at the time and they didn't make me lift a box! We were all moved in that night and things have been good. I will update more in the next posts but here are some pictures in the mean time!!

Here Comes BABY :)

Yes you read that right, we are adding one more to the Andersen Clan and could not be more excited!! I have to admit it is a little scary the farther it gets the more real it is becoming. Such a big responsibility to raise a little one but I know we can do it. Ever since the beginning of time I have always wanted to be a mom. Well and live on a farm but I now get to be the mom and that is one of the most exciting things for me. How it happened is a little funny but from early on I felt that I was pregnant but I didn't want to believe it for a while. Then later on decided to face it but I didn't want to spend 16 bucks on a pregnancy test that was going to tell me it was nothing. I got a cheap one from the dollar store and took it and to my suprise it was quick to tell me yes. As soon as Kevin got home I had to tell him, I wanted to do something cute but I just couldn't keep a good secret from him. So he got home I told him and of course he didn't believe me then I started crying and told him I wasn't lying!! Then he believed me and he was super excited which made me more excited cause I was totally freaked out. We are both so happy and excited and can't wait to find out the gender next Friday! Yayyy

Here a little there a little

Okay so I realize that it has been a while without an update but hey I am trying okay? HAha well not so much is new but I will still let you guys in on some of the things we have been up to. So one night we called up our friends the schilhabel's and wanted to hang out. Michelle was my roomate one semester and is from Bakersfield but Kevin and her didn't know each other before but they have become our very good friends. We went to Rigby and decided to go bowling at their bowling alley. It was so cool when we got there everything was old school. They had over head projectors so that you could see your score and you had to keep it manually! My lovely Michelle Kept score for us and put on some tunes on the juke box and we had a blast. The guy that owns it says it is only open certain hours because its just his hobby but it was so cool and no one was there so it was fun! Michelle is always saying that she wants to have a prom there with all our married friends and so we think that would be a great place!

Next we heard about this big celebration in Driggs called Celebrate America and it was the week of the 4th so we decided to go to that with our friends the Schilhabel's again and of course we had an amazing time! WE drove through Tetonia and all those small towns and they are so pretty I posted some pictures of the Tetons and they were so pretty. I just miss the mountains in general so it was nice to see some green trees and mountains! They had the Beach Boys performing up until the fireworks and that was so fun we sang along with the songs that we knew. Before the fire works we went around to all the vendors....There was only like 8 and there were a ton of people so we had to stand in line quite a while but I am pretty sure we cut in line because the lines were seriously soooooooooooooo long i felt bad after but we got our food. I really wanted some chicken fingers and fries and right as we got up they were all gone so Kevin got a cowboy burger that was actaully pretty good. IT had two patties and ham I think or canadian bacon but whatever it was it was soo delicious and we ate it pretty fast. Then we wanted to get some kettle corn and the line for that was ridiculous but we stood in it for a while anyways. Then the cook told us that he was running out of propane and he didn't think that we would get any but we could continue to stand in line if we wanted to. We left and enjoyed the music and then the fireworks were about to start. They had Lee Greenwood who sings "God Bless the USA there live to sing along with the fireworks and they had a video that went along with it and it was so wonderful. The fireworks was probably the best firework show I have seen in a long time, i'd even say better than the Melalueca Freedom ones....sorry Steve and Jill. At the end everyone started to sing along....Patriotism pass it on! I LOVE AMERICA. in fact I wish I had some jean shorts with stars on one side and stripes on the other that I could wear every 4th of July. The ride home wasn't even bad we blasted some music and set home it was such a fun night!!

Next my job as well all know can be a boring one, there was one day I was not feeling good at all and was having a rough time getting to work, none the less I forgot my lunch. I called and asked Kevin if he could just make me a sandwhich real quick and bring it to me! He of course agreed but when he got here he had made me chicken with cheese and ham. Brought me some corn and then he also brought some left over oreo's we had and some popcorn for a snack later along with a chocolate bar!!! Yeah this kid takes such good care of me I love him so much. Next I got an e-mail saying that I had to take a random drug test at work which I don't mind cause I knew I would pass and it would let me out of work for a while because you have to drive to Idaho Falls to get it. So my manager came and took over the store while I was gone and sent me in the Syringa van hahaha it is a huge van as you can see! IT was interesting to drive that is for sure. The other picture is of my sunglasses just cause I like them!

Last but not least of all some of you know that Kevin coached competitive basketball this semester and had a blast with it. His games were on Friday nights and he would coach the boys who he picked to make it to his Varsity team. He had a friend coach the JV. Turns out that his team was pretty good I am not positive but I only remember them losing 2 games and they made it into the playoffs where they lost there second game and then were out but they did such a good job and I think Kevin really enjoyed it. After the season had come to an end they had a basketball banquet for all the players and coaches and then there dates so I got to go. It was really neat they had a little spiritual meeting and then had a dinner. I can not even begin to tell you how hungry I was and how good the food was. They has garlic mashed potatoes and then this was kind of different but they had either a cheesy broccoli sauce to out over it or a beef tip sauce. I chose the cheesy Broccoli and it was bomb! They had a salad to go along as well and at the end they had all different kinds of desserts! They were divine, kevin got a chocolate cake that was dang good and I got a cheesecake but instead of nasty cherry sauce on top it was rasberries and rasberry sauce! It was so divine I may or may not have had seconds on everything!! Anyways after the dinner they had an awards ceremony for awards for all the players. At the end Kevin got the coach of the league award! He was so suprised, he didn't know they did anything like that so it was really special for him. He definately deserved that award and I am so proud of him! Well that is about it, stay tuned next month and we should have some exciting news and we will be back from all our trips so i am sure lots of stories and lots of pictures to come!

ARIZONA SUNSHINE

Okay I realize it has been a long time but let's be honest I think I am the only one who has updated in a very long time,,,,besides Candi. Anyways so let me start where we left off, So we ended school Kevin and I both finished off the semester with straight A's Go us! I am just chipping away a little at a time as I work and Kevin works his butt off taking 17 plus credits a semester, he is working so hard! So the semester came and ended and on the Thursday of our week long break from school Kevin's parents came down to watch Blayne and Rachel's kids and his mom was not feeling good, ended up that she had shingles so Kev and I spent a decent amount of time in Idaho Falls trying to help them out and helping out with the kids and we still had a blast. Amanda had her little girl that week and unfortunately with the way work is right now I don't really have anybody to cover my shifts so I wasn't able to go until the weekend. Then when I went to go see her and the baby and the kids on my way I heard on the radio there was a huge 20 car pile up between her and me and the roads were closed! So I have yet to see little Ava Burt yet! Then the coming week was well anticipated for, our trip to ARIZONA!!! IT was finally here and I was so excited to get some sun! Rexburg is still freezing and snowed on May 1st so stupid. Anyways we got to Mesa and Jill picked us up and took us to this awesome place called like farmer Joe's or something like that and it is on a farm! It was so pretty they had grapefruit and orange tree's that I was trying to pick I need to get the pictures from Jills phone of Kevin trying to lift me up to get them. Regardless he couldn't lift me so I think someone has put on some weight! Oh well haha so then we headed to Tucson and we stopped on the way and got a in & out shake and got back pretty late that night! It was just a long day of traveling so we went home and passed out! The next day we woke up and hung out a little bit and then went to get Steve from work cause he got off at noon. We got to experience Peter Piper Pizza that we have been hearing about and it pretty good. Then we got to spend the afternoon at the pool! Man it was so nice I was spraying on the tanning oil in hopes of burning and then having beautiful tan skin for at least a while when I got back to Rexburg! I don't really remember the days now and what exactly we did so I am just going to tell you all of the things we did do. We went to some batting cages which we love to do in Tucson and then we went to a little Indian cowboy town and it was so cute! They had a steak place where if you wear a tie in they cut it off! Anyways the next day was Sunday and we had to send Kev back to Rexburg so he didn't miss any school! He is so studious I definately would have missed the first week of school for Arizona. From then on it was just me, addi and JIll and not to forget Jayce man! (haha jill :) Addi is still in good standings of my best friend or I should say that I am in good standings of her best friend! Jace is so cute I would not mind to have taken him back with me! HE IS ADORABLE! He is such a good baby he never makes a fuss unless he needs changed, food, or sleep and that's pretty good I would say! Made me a little baby hungry! Addi also told me " Aunt Shayla if you would have never married Kevinator or never ever ever ever ever got married I would come live with you in Idaho." Thanks addi! hhaha she always keeps me on my toes I love that little girl to death. Me and jill and jace went for a little adventure out in the desert and I saw a frickin Jack-a-lope and it was HUGE like a kangaroo bunny. Then I found a Horny toad that I was able to keep watch of until Jillian could run home with Jace and run back with a bucket to capture! That was pretty interesting and her neighbors sure loved it! Then I got introduced to her boarder patrol neighbor and he brought over the dvd of all the footage they had of the camps and people they had come across. After that I was pretty sure I wanted to work for Boarder Patrol. Those Mexicans would not even know what to do with themselves. HEY VATO YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE! Actually the sucky part is he said you had to be very respectful to them. STUPID THEY ARE CROSSING INTO MY COUNTRY I WOULD NOT BE NICE which is why I will probably never be Boarder Patrol. But they are everywhere in Tucson! We pretty much just hung out and laughed a lot for the rest of the time until I had to come home! On the way to the airport in Mesa we stopped at this burrito shack that was literally just a shack and it had the best burritos! That was a good send off also while there we found out Steve got accepted into BYU for his masters and how great of news is this! Now they can live really close to me again! Then Jill went to drop me off at the airport I was pretty sad and ADDI kept telling me. Just stay here you don't have to get on that plane if you don't want to! IT was so hard to say no to that little face! So then I go into the airport and I am up checking my bag and ADDI came running up to me and whispers loud...My mom needs to talk to you! That girl is so funny! It was a good last laugh. The plane ride home was terrible we even nose dived for a while and I was sure that was it and I was going to die. When we landed I was so thankful and pretty sick to with all the bouncing up and down we did. Anyways my hubby picked me up and we went to eat at Olive Garden and relax a little. I had such a rough week when I got back and I got really sick with what I will just say a little bug was going around! Anyways I wasn't feeling well but Sunday was Kevin's Birthday and he ended up taking care of me for most of the day and cleaning and sanitizing everything! Then I was feeling better and made him a cake. Poor boy his first birthday wasn't exactly fantastic but he is so sweet and told me it was just what he wanted! His brother took us to the Snake Bite in Idaho Falls which is Kevins favorite restaurant in Idaho Falls. Then I went and showed him the falls because he has never been down by them just saw them from afar! So that is pretty much it sorry this is a lot of writing and no pictures but I am just going to upload all of them together! Welp we are off to another semester of school! We are so close just the summer and another semester to go! GO US! LOVE YOU ALL! HAPPY MAY! OKAY ILL ADD PICTURES TONIGHT IM AT WORK

FEBRUANY

So to be honest not to toot my own horn but I thought I had let my blog go but turns out I updated it about a month ago so looks like I am staying up to date! TOOT TOOT!!So last time we all talked we had just finished Christmas and how fun was that? So we started out on our new year! Kevin started another school semester and is still working! I am as well STILL working! I enjoy it though and I feel pretty blessed to have the job I do! These days me and Kevin feel like the Lord has been showing us so much in just these short past months. We feel as though there is so much going on around us that he is showing us look at how lucky you are and how much I have blessed you with and this is true! I love this Gospel more than I could ever tell anyone or show anyone for that matter! Just to share a short story here I remember one time in my life where I feel Courtney(my sister) and I were just going through some hard times in life! We were trying to figure out how this grown up thing goes and where and what exactly we were doing in our life's. I remember Courtney once telling my mom I don't think I believe in Joseph Smith or in our religion. I remember hearing here and just starting to cry because I couldn't deny what I knew and I just didn't understand. To this day I still think about that moment and that time in my life and think how could I ever deny that! I don't think I can! When me and Kevin started in our ward I hated it. I kept comparing it to my last ward and even my Alamosa singles ward and how there weren't so many people and everyone was friendly and here they just already had there clicks and I hated it! Over the months me and Kevin have tried to submerge ourselves in our ward and have realized HELLO wake up call the people in our ward are so fun and our Bishop is AMAZING!! We are really starting to love Rexburg and the lifestyle that comes with so the least I hope you get out of this is that me and Kevin have been blessed immensely! I have really felt the love of my Father in Heaven and know he knows Kevin and I's personally needs! Okay onto other matters of business. So Kevster and I have been on the search for a car since November and these were our standards. It had to be below 4,000 the cheaper the better. 2000 or newer and have less than 115,000 miles. Let me tell you that is so hard especially because Kevin and I are both very stubborn whether he will admit that or not. So we put it off for a while then in January I just decided to start looking again and we test drove and test drove and then we finally found thee one! We test drove it twice and took it to a mechanic and everything checked out we just had to get new tires and we offered them less so it worked out right! Wrong the day we got it I drove it to Idaho Falls to get new tires and in the midst I tell Kev that I think it is overheating! Of course he can't believe I didn't say anything sooner but I just wasn't sure if I was right or not but then finally I spilled the beans and good thing I did because we took it back to another mechanic who said it had a blown head gasket and finale.... it would cost 1200 bucks to fix! SHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA right! Not happening so my fiesty little but got on the phone and told those people either they would pay for it or it would be sitting in there drive way with in the next 5 min! Long story short they hesitantly decided to pay for it and don't worry they just needed me to give them a little push! LIKE I SAID EARLIER HOLY BLESSING!! We definitely did not have the money for that so none the less it is now our little car and is all fixed up. It needs new rotors and struts really bad to but we are trying to put that off for a little while. HERE'S OUR LITTLE BABY!! HAHA YET TO BE NAMED PLEASE COMMENT WITH SUGGESTIONS.

Kevin wants to name it Rocky cause it had a rough start but heck no I think that is lame so yeah we will wait! We mostly share cars just whoever is driving more that day gets little whitey and the other gets to keep rollin with big spender Hunter Stetson Jack ( our Isuzu Rodeo that I LOVE) So anyways thank goodness that all worked out to out benefit. I am trying to tell you what all Kev and I have been up to but I feel like we just eat, sleep, work, repeat. Oh yeah this semester we set up a bowling league with some of our friends who recently got married and that is a lot of fun. Kevin and I joined the ward volleyball team and Kevin joined the ward Basketball team. Kevin loves to go to the gym and play pick up basketball games and while he does that I go to Zumba! My old roommate teaches a class at campus and she is so great at it! I love when she teaches she always picks fun songs and not just the mexicany ones. It's so hard to get all pumped up when all you hears is AHHHHYYYYYY YYYYYYYYIIIIIIII YYYYYYYYYIIII hello I don't even know what that song is saying how am I supposed to get all pumped up by that? Oh yea right I can't! So anyways she is really great and we have fun doing that it keeps our lives sane! Oh another project me and Kevin completed this year was our dresser we bought through his work and had to build it turned our great actually and I love it! It is dark black and has 3 drawers on each side and holds the T.V. at just the right level for me to lay in bed and watch all my favorite shows!! hahaha! Love my shows. Kevin and I have taken the privileged of having Blayne and Rachel near by and go to see them to have some fun! They are always good for some entertainment as well as their kids and Rachel always makes something BOMB to eat. This week we went up on Saturday and they took us out to eat at a place in I.F. called SMITTY's OH.MY.GOODNESS. There french toast is the bomb.com and let me tell one thing more to make this blog longer than it needs to be! I HATE,LOATH,DESPISE birth control. It's these little blue pills that keep you from having a baby but make you feel like you just want to PUKE every single day of the week and make you sick and just wanna lay in bed and be a lame-O but don't worry I'm not lame I still go and do things but Kevin just has to listen to me complain about how they should make boys take it and I hate it so on and so forth. Anyways I was feeling nasty but that french toast straightened me right up. So maybe I was just hungry and NO everyone I am not pregnant trust me you will all know when that happens cause I can't wait til I have a little Bentley Ty or a little Colt Lane. ALso those names I dibbs mine and no one reading this thinking about having a kid or having a kid may not have the privileged of stealing my kids names. GREAT GREAT! Well I hope you all are doing well. We love you all and again are so blessed! HAVE AN AWESOME FEBRUARY!
