First entry!

Greetings from Kansas! I am not quite sure how to do this blog thing, so it will be a work in progress. But several friends have asked if we have a blog up yet. And now we do! As boring and not cute as it may be : )

Jared and I were sealed at the Salt Lake temple on August 14th, 2008. It was literally a perfect day and we both agree we have never had one like it. The spirit was so strong that day and we were overwhelemed by the love that was there. We are very grateful for an amazing family! We really felt everyone's love and support the whole day and were grateful to have so many family members with us in the temple. We love you all so much and miss our family members that we were able to be with in Utah. But you all will be taking lots of trips out to Kansas right? : )

Also, I just have to add that Jared is the most amazing husband in the world! I completely adore him and appreciate all he does. He is so kind and patient with me. I can't believe we are coming up on a year!

Lake Quivira, KS is quite the fun place! Jared and I were fortunate enough to move into his grandmother's old house (I'll post picture soon). It has a kitchen, family and dining room, laundry room (yay!), master bedroom and 3 other bedrooms. One will be a guest bedroom, one an office, and one for the BABY!

For those of you who have not heard, we are having a baby October 3rd. Jared is so ecstatic that we are having a boy (as am I). He is so proud and it is fun to see him so very excited. We had a 20 week ultra sound today (halfway there!) and it was so fun to see our little baby boy! He sure is active! But during the ultrasound he must have work himself out because we saw him yawn! it was darling. We love our little boy and can't wait to see meet him. Here are some pics of my ever growing belly. The first one is April 3rd, then May 3rd and the last one was taken today! ( 20 wks and 4 days)





































































On the 17th we celebrated Jared's 27th birthday! We had a yummy carne asada dinner. If you are looking from some good recipoes then google simply recipies. They have great easy recipies! Anyway, here are some bday pics of the "old man" : )
