1, 2, and baby makes 3

Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that a majority of everyone I know and even those people I don't know, know that I am in fact pregnant.  So I figured it was probably time to break the news to everyone that doesn't live in Hemet, Ca.  So here it is, I am pregnant! 

To be honest it still feels a little weird to say and to discuss with people but we are so excited.  I'm due December 27th.  Even though its our first I have high expectations already (I feel like that Chinese mother who became famous for being crazy strict with her children) but I feel like all my expectations are completely valid and totally reasonable.  expectation 1: the baby cannot come any earlier than Dec 7th (thats the last day of my student teaching), 2: if the baby is going to be early they need to be here by Dec 22 at the latest, 3: if the baby decides to be late it needs to be here by Dec 30 or wait till Jan 2, 4: the baby can in no way be like Jake in their weight (10.5 pounds!) honestly that's insane, I'd prefer if the baby weighed 8 pounds max. 

All kidding aside for my expectations I am so excited!! I think that it feels so surreal because my entire first trimester was spent with my head in a toilet. So instead of feeling happy, preggo symptoms the last 14 weeks have felt like food poisoning mixed with the flu. Needless to say that although I have been sick these last couple of weeks I have some amazingly funny stories I'll share later. 

I am counting down the days till we find out if its a boy or girl only 2 more weeks!  

Temporary Move + Party Central

I am seriously so excited, come this Thursday Jake and I will be spending the rest of the summer at my parents house in Hemet!  So I honestly thought I would never say the words "I'm excited to move back home" but as with most things in my life I usually end up eating my own words so why would this be any different?  Anyways I honestly cannot wait.  I love being in Utah in the summer but I cannot wait to spend a nice, hot summer in CA especially being surrounded by my family.

I know that Jake will be busy with his internship and I might be busy working, but that is not stopping my from the list of things I plan to do for the summer and make Jake do with me.  I'm so excited to spend time with my parents, sisters, grandparents and all the rest of my crazy family.  Right now though I think the main thing I am excited about is good Mexican food (I am trying to make a plan to first to Taco Shop and then to my family's house, we'll see if it really works out this way). And although Hemet has its downsides like how in the summer you tend to always burn your legs on the interior of cars, and this summer I know I will always be hot (wearing a lovingly 2 layers all the time) and it being an average of 100 something in Aug. I cannot wait to spend time with my family and eat Mexican food!

Although we were always planning to move to Hemet after Jake was finished with Spring Semester the real reason we're going down this weekend is to celebrate Janelle and Eric's wedding!  I cannot wait!!  Janelle and I have been friends since about 7th grade, and we have had our rough patches of not speaking for a couple of years because our groups of friends really didn't interact we have since fixed that and are back being best friends.  Anyways as much as Jake and I love Janelle, we equally love Eric. I remember meeting Eric for the first time and wondering what was secretly wrong with him. I love Janelle and she knows I do but her choice in boyfriends isn't ever been close to good!  Usually they are mean to her, or she has to buy everything because they have no job, or even say weird things like "did you know I  can see different energies in colors and that my gift is more strong than the priesthood" seriously that guy was a total freak... But lets just say her choice in boyfriends sucks!  So when Eric appeared normal, nice, smart, and funny not to mention he liked sports so Jake and him talked forever, I naturally thought secretly there must be something wrong with him.  Soon I realized there wasn't anything wrong with him Janelle had finally found a guy that deserved to date her and treated her like such... Jake and I then became his biggest fan!  And now we get to see them get married in San Diego!  I love that temple and I am so happy that they are finally almost at that day... there's nothing better then being in the temple surrounded by family and friends as everyone comes together to support the people they love in this special day. I am just glad that its Janelle's turn, and that I know it will be a packed house.  

PS: for this amazing road trip which Jake, myself and Mackenzie are taking I have bought Lady Gaga's new cd because nothing says 10 hr drive like "Edge of Glory"
