Thanksgiving Weekend

First of all, I think most everyone who has access to this blog knows, but in case I've failed to mention it ...I'm pregnant. I am 14 weeks along and am due at the end of May. Everyone asks so I'll just mention that I haven't really been sick. I feel a little icky but nothing compared to the average pregnant woman. Ben and I are happy and excited to be parents. We are thrilled. My new favorite hobby is reading the pregnancy books and learning what size of fruit our baby is. Currently, its the size of a lemon.

Ben and I had a very eventful and memorable Thanksgiving weekend. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' house. It was very yummy especially for a pregnant woman who eats everything in sight, that is if I'm not feeling sick at the time. We had a small birthday celebration following dinner that was simple and sweet.

I asked Ben for a mini vacation for my birthday so we planned on going to St. George, Utah. My grammy passed away so plans changed a little bit due to the funeral set for that weekend. Instead we spent our mini vacation in West Jordan. We went shopping during the Black Friday sales, went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, Chilli's for dinner, and then watched a cute Christmas movie back at the hotel. It was really fun to get away from Provo for the weekend and enjoy time together. I loved my birthday celebration. He's a good husband.

My new job!

I applied for a preschool teaching position a couple weeks ago and I got the job! I was so excited and after figuring out my driving situation I accepted the offer. It's in Springville and the hours and pay are great. I'm done everyday at three thirty except Fridays I'm done at ten in the morning! I started on Monday and it has been a lot of fun. The kids are really cute, energetic, and moody. We've had a lot of tears, laughter, shouting, and spilled milk. I love the teachers I work with. They are SO nice. Growing up I always heard the stereotype that lunch ladies are mean. I found out this week that it's TRUE! The lunch lady scares me. She's grumpy and has hurt my feelings a couple times! Lame, I know. But the teachers assured me that I didnt do anything wrong. I am so glad that I got this job. I love snack time and lunch time (btw, I get two lunches because I teach two classes). One of the highlights of my week was when the kids were finger painting. One child went up to Miss Julie (who was wearing black pants) and put yellow hand prints on her bottom. She had lovely artwork on her bum for the rest of the day.

here's a pic of me ready to go to my first day of school!

Our First Blog Post!

I've never blogged before so if I fail to make this interesting I apologize in advance. I wanted our friends and family to have a way to be updated on our lives without having to send out massive emails, which is always tedious and I never end up sending them anyway. So in my attempt to keep in contact I'm making this blog.


I just finished school and am now looking for a job, which I am having a hard time motivating myself to do. Ben walked with me because he'll be finished in December. It was fun, and I must say pretty cute to get pictures of both of us in a cap and gown.
