Something New!

Well since I haven't posted anything in a long time, here's an update.

Kade and I are having a baby girl!! I am so excited! I'm already going to be 30 weeks on friday! Her name is going to be Blakely Joann, and I can't wait to meet her.  I already adore this girl more than I could ever imagine.  I'm due October 18th.

Kade got his call for the Border Patrol, what a blessing that is.  He chose Weslaco TX as the station he will work at after the academy.  He reports to to start on Aug 19th, in Edinburg TX.  And they will take him to the academy in Artesia NM from there.  Dad and I are planning to drive him there and so then I can get a little look around before we move there.  He should be finished by January and then we'll be moving.  It's 16 hours from St. David. YIKES!!! Luckily my cousin David and his wife Amorrette live like 20 minutes away so I'll at least know someone close by.  I sure am going to miss Kade while he is gone for the next five months.

I think I have finally figured out what I want to finish my degree in.......Sports Medicine.  I took one Athletic training class at EAC but never really considered this as a possibility.  I already have over 100 college credits so it's time to decide what I want to graduate with since it should take me a little less that 2 years to finish.

That should be good for now!

Capturing life one click at a time!

So lately I have really started to enjoy taking pictures and editing them.  When I was younger I was always the one to video the wrestling match or take pictures for this trip or that event.  But lately its turned to family pictures and just capturing the moment.  Here's a couple...

 some pictures I took for a friend

These are two of my adorable nieces

My cousins



 My uncle Stan and Amber their BEAUTIFUL family!

I absolutely loved taking these pictures.  Maybe someday I'll make this hobby into more of a profession.  I plan on taking some cute Christmas pictures of my niece Katelyn soon.  Fall has to be the best time of year to take pictures.

Starting Out

I'm actually really excited to be starting this blog.  Sometimes I have a lot going on in this head of mine and just need somewhere to write it all down.
The title I chose for this post can fit so many different topics in my life right now.  The biggest being I was recently Married to my best friend in June and as of a few days ago we have been married for 6 months.  You never really understand what they mean by "The first year is the hardest" until you are living it.  There are so many things that you have to learn to do differently (like what you cook), learning to understand that you may not have as many of similarities as you did when you were just dating. I was having a hard time with this particular subject recently and found this quote that helped so much.

"Obviously the Lord has created us with different personalities, as well as differing degrees of energy, interest, health, talent, and opportunity.  So long as we are committed to righteousness and living a life of faithful devotion, we should celebrate these divine differences, knowing they are a gift from God.  We must not feel so frightened, so threatened and insecure; we must not need to find the exact replicas of ourselves in order to feel validated as women or men of worth.  There are many things over which we can be divided, but one thing is needful for our unity-- the empathy and compassion of the living Son of God"

(Patricia T. Holland, Ensign, Oct 1987,26)

I am so grateful for a husband who thinks differently from me and shows me new light in this world everyday.
The second topic this title pertains to is, my husband and I are moving back to Arizona.  We have been living in New Mexico going to school. But we have both been accepted to the U of A :) so exciting, so we are moving to St. David.  I am so excited to be part of the church in that town and NOT HAVE TO DRIVE SO MUCH EVERY WEEKEND! That got so tiring and gas is way too expensive.
The final topic for this title is Of Course, starting out writing this blog.  when I write I have a tendency to go off on tangents so my apologies now!
