Hidden Talents

Yep, a little known fact about my husband-he can play the piano. He took lessons as a kid and played all the time on his mission and right after, but as school, work, and life caught up with him his skills got a bit rusty. For christmas he got an electric piano. According to him it feels just like a real piano, but is small enough to fit in our apartment and has a volume control so we don't disturb the upstairs neighbors. It's fun listening to him re-learn all of his favorite songs. He isn't quiet ready to show off his skills, but he is very happy to be playing again.

Happy Birthday Brian!

Brian's 25th birthday was yesterday. It's been a 3 day celebration! On Sunday we went to my parents house for dinner and cake, last night we went to his parents house for dinner and cake, and tonight I made him his favorite meal (and we ate leftover cake). It's been really great, I love birthdays. Brian wasn't so excited about this one-I guess 25 seems old to him. It is weird to think that when I met him he was only 22, it seems like just yesterday. He just gets better with each year that I know him.

Brian's birthday and my brother Zach's birthday are a week apart so we do a joint celebration.

Update...

The move:
Moving down from Logan went perfect! Since I'm not allowed to lift anything over 20 pounds I decided to go to work instead of stand around with nothing to do...we had Brian's Aunt and Uncle come and help him get everything in the truck. Surprisingly there were no unexpected mishaps, missing trucks, or snow (although it was -10 while they were loading the truck up) which is incredible since something always goes wrong when we move. Brian was met by both of our families to help unload and move into our new apartment, by the time I got off work and drove down everything was unloaded and the unpacking had begun. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped! It was very appreciated! We are loving our new place and being so close to so many friends and family. (But I do miss my Logan friends and most of my students)

Christmas:

Soon after moving down we went on a trip to Florida with Brian's family. (I don't have pictures because my camera was dead) It was a little chilly for Florida, but warmer than home. We spent the days relaxing and going to the theme parks, it was nice to be away from the worries of everyday life and enjoy doing nothing. Christmas Eve was spent doing last minute shopping and going to my family's Christmas party. Christmas day was spent between both families opening presents, catching up, and playing games. All of our siblings were able to make it to the festivies this year so it was nice to have everyone together! Yay for the holidays.

The baby:

Things are going well and growing as they should. I just started the 3rd trimester so he'll be here before we know it! Here are a few pictures to document the growth...

10 Weeks

20 Weeks

28 weeks

So all in all things are going well and we are very happy and loving life!

Can't seem to stay settled

So we're moving again! It'll be the 3rd time we are moving since May! But this time we are moving out of Logan and down to Salt Lake (the Sandy area to be exact). I am so excited! This means so many wonderful things such as Target, Training Table, Ute season tickets, friends, family, and so much more! We move on December 12th, so hopefully it won't snow that day, but with our bad luck when it comes to moving it wouldn't surprise me if it did! :) Anyway, I can't wait to be returning to the 801 area code in 7 days!

Happy Thanksgiving! (a little early)

Drumroll please...

This morning we found out that we are having a BOY!!!! We are so excited!

This one is a 4D picture...It really helps to make the image easier to see.
