2012

Well we have definitely not been keeping up with our blog!!!  Andalynn Fae will be 11 weeks old on the 5th, and boy is she growing!  She can hold her head up like a champ, she loves to talk, and she is smiling more and more.  Today Shanda dyed her hair slightly red and Addie didn't recognize her for a little while.  Poor girlies.  We mention every day how much we miss our family and want to visit.  Shanda especially wants to spend time with Mom and all of her sisters!  We got a bunch of fancy new furniture for Shanda to put all of her toys on.  An entertainment center, a desk, and a bookshelf!  They are pretty.  Pretty awesome.  But not as awesome as the toys located upon them!  But that's not important.  Or is it?  Anyway now it's Shanda's turn and she'll bore you with the important stuff but just smile, nod, and act interested okay?  Love you!

BABY!!!

Me and Shane just found out that we are pregnant! I am about 7weeks along now. We have a lot to do to prep for this little blessing, but we are sooooo excited!

Finally!

We are all settled into our new apartment. Its so cute. I love having something that we can call ours. We are both still doing well in school. Shane is doing so well in math. He amazes me. I have my last clinicals for a couple semesters this weekend. I'm having some troubles with the cooking. I burned my cookies the other day. :( Shane is so sweet. He is a good sport. Things are going well. Life is amazing. Love is beautiful. Marriage is wonderful.

Waiting...

Our apartment still isn't ready. We went by today and the carpet cleaner still hasn't come. So we are waiting to find out when we can move in. Me and Shane are both still super busy with school. It seems like its getting even crazier. Shane still has no word on a job. But I pray fro him every night. I know he will find something. I had my second time at clinicals and it just gets better and better. I love it. i love Shane more and more everyday. I didn't think it was possible. But apparently it was. Our first Valentines Day together was amazing. Shane is so amazing and generous. He knew exactly what I would want. He is absolutely perfect!

News!

We got our apartment! Yay! We move in sometime this week! We have someone thats going to give us some furniture. We are so grateful for such amazing people in our ward. It is going to make having our own place so much easier and cheaper. We got to finally see our apartment last week and I love it! Its a two bedroom one bath. Did I mention how excited I am?!?
I had my first clinicals. I learned a lot. It is so different learning about it and actually getting to get in there and experience it. I made lots of new friends. Some were residents and some were other CNA students. I had to miss my sisters twin babies birthday party for it though.
Everything is coming together and I love it! We are so blessed. Life is such an amazing journey.
