Stitches, babies, and Iowa fun!

So  A LOT has gone on since my last post!!

1. Zach and I packed up our things and moved back to Iowa! Summer sales just wasn't for us... We just wanted to come home and be close to family.

2. Zach got a job working for my dad... and one I got a loverly phone call...from my grandma... saying if I heard about his hand... I said WHAT???... come to find out Zach got a nice little cut from some big heavy machine thinger before the work day even started. So he has had to deal with stitches in his hand for the last weekend and a half. Poor Zachie!

3. I have been helping my mom out here by shuttling my brother and other daycare children around to various camps and school functions. It has been fun being around all the kids again... but not so pleasant to have to wake up so early in the morning to get Drake from football.

4. Abbie had her baby! I have been sooo excited for this baby from the moment i knew it was baking!! So in true Abbie fashion she left every in agony and didn't find out the sex. So we were all surprised to have our 10 lb. 6oz baby boy Grayson Scott!!! He is the most handsome little fella there ever was!!! & i love him to pieces. Abbie had a little trouble with the birth just cuz he was a strudy sized boy, so she was pretty sore for the last week or so, so I have been going out to her house when her husband is at work!
    It is wonderful for me because i get to hold and kiss him all day long. && he is such a good baby.. barely ever gets fussy! OHH i just love him soo much!!! Im so proud of my sister.. She is a champ!  ( i will post a picture if i get permission from his mommy!)

5. Being back home has been really nice. Sometimes its a little rough, just because i feel so out of touch with Cedar Rapids. I feel like every time I go somewhere I should run into people I know, but it really doesnt happen that often. But I love being around both mine and Zachs family. We have all kinds of fun!

Iowa is pretty. i like it. But Im excited to go back to school.. I actually miss Idaho.
I applied for fast grad... So everyone cross your fingers i get in.

oops!

So I know I said I was going to make an effort to keep posting, but darn it.. sometimes live just gets in the way! 


 I have been pretty busy lately, and the spare time I do get, I am usually doing stuff around the apartment or actually getting to spend time with Zach. And my time in going to be even more limited now. As of today I got hired on full-time and i am the only office manager our here in Minneapolis. Which is very scary for me, seeing as I have only been working here for barely three weeks. 


This means, I will have the phones every day until they hire another one on. And i will have all of the paperwork and all of the other busy work included in this wonderful summer sales craziness! 
    I know I can do it... It is just a little overwhelming. 


For a more uplifting update.. 


My sister is getting closer and closer to her due date, and nothing, not even my job, is going to stop me from going to see the little baby! im so excited!!! I cant believe is finally almost here! I think i have probably been waiting for this since the day after my sister got married! Haha. 
Its my first niece or nephew (Besides Miss Maddy, that I get the pleasure to call my niece because i married the wonderful Zachary!) 
I will for sure let all of the blogging world know as soon as I can what the little baby is going to be.. Boy  or Girl...?   Can you believe my sister went the whole time without knowing.. .Crazy I know!


In other news. Zach and I went to Robin Hood last Saturday night, and then to Iron Man 2 (paid for!! : ) yess!!)  And in my opinion I liked Robin Hood more. I was so pumped to go see Iron Man 2, but it didnt live up to what i was expecting, and I am glad we didnt have to pay for the ticket. 


Here are a few pictures that I have taken randomly.. I know people dont like to read these things unless there is something to look at.. so here you go.. 


Zach eating..   what a cheesey smile! haha

And here are some photos of our apartment here in MinnI!


   Kitchen..

Laundry... closet...?

Living room, the door leads out to our porch! 

Our room.. and of course, everything is green!! : ) 

There is a very large field behind out apartment building and it is right off of our porch so this is the view.. It is kind of nice. We like it. : )

Tyring new things!

As I said before I am going to try to keep posting on a semi regular basis. I feel it is a good outlet, i just sometimes my brain gets a little lazy when it comes to being creative.

So i made a new blog header... not sure that i like it.. So be watching it might change soon... I just cant make up my mind.. let me know what you think? How/what  could i do to improve it. I do everything on photoshop, because that is just what i know.

But anywho. life here in Minni is going well. Zach and are I are slowly but surely settling into our new jobs. Its a bit of an adjustment, but I think we are doing alright!

My day-to-day has changed a lot since we moved here. We dont go to bed till 10 or later because Zach doesnt get home till far after 9. Then we eat dinner, and catch up on our days, then pass out. We wake up in the morning around 9.. Well I do at least. Zach wakes up much earlier, but is kind enough to entertain himself with funny videos on the computer or his ukulele and lets me sleep in a little while. ( He has quickly learned I am not a morning person!) 

Then we eat breakfast together, usually pack up his lunch, or just hang out/ get ready, and then head down to the office at 11:30 or so.

Then my day consists of lots and lots of papers, and every other day the phones... which means I basically cant do anything, just in case on of the boys calls in.

So I have been learning to keep myself busy...
      Things i do...
1. Catch up on shows on Hulu because we dont have cable.
2. Read: The Last Song
3. Crafts
4. My HW : I am taking an online D&C class. Its actually kind of cool to see how much that i already know. Zach was impressed with my knowledge. : )
5. clean & do laundry
6. make cookies: I have made 3 batches since we have been here, Zach sure appreciates it, as well as all the rest of the guys.
7. Answer phones.. which usually takes up most of the time I have.


Another New thing, I GOT BANGS!

   Nikki, the other wife i work with in the office, cuts hair! so she gave me some sweet bangs! I feel like its something you see often... girl just gets married and chops all of her hair off.. well since i dont really have any hair in the first place, i thought... Why Not? I havent had bangs in a while! So i got them. Thanks Nikki!

Enough blabbing for now.

Happy Day for Mommies!

 Today I have had a good chance to think about my mom and all of the wonderful things she has done for me. Over the last few years as most people know I have moved away from home (22 hours away from home to be exact) while going to school in Idaho. Over this time my relationship with  my mom has been ever strengthened. I think I now have a better relationship with my mom than i ever did before. I think being so far away gave me a really good perspective on how much my mom really influenced my life.
   As a lot of people also know, I am a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, and this transformation for me really wasn't all that difficult, and i attribute most of that to the way my mom raised me. We as kids always knew right from wrong, and always knew the right way to act. She is always there for me no matter what life hands me, and always supports me, even if she doesnt quite understand what I am doing, or where I am going.
   My mom has influenced my life so much and hope to one day be able to be the kind of mother she is to my own kids. She has so much strength, as seen by her courage in the last few years. She would do anything for her kids and her family and she is a wonderful example to me.

Thanks Mom for all you do. and i know i dont get to say this enough, I love you.

Long time no blog!

Well its probably about time I updated the blogging world on the on-goings in my life. 

So Zach and I got married in the Nauvoo Temple on April 17th! We never thought the day was going to come! But it was perfect and we couldnt have asked for a better day! I will post picture later... when i actually get them. haha

Now Zach and I are out in Minnesota for the summer with Pinnacle alarms doing summer sales. Zach is a sales rep, and I work in the office. We have just been out here a little bit over a week, but so far so good. 

We have made one trip to the Mall of American, and guess what?! Zach bought two shirts and I bought dinner... haha I am being a good new wife and trying to keep an eye on my spending! 

Anywho. I just got internet today, so i thought i would give a little update.. more later..

Counting down..

There is basically only one month left of school and I cannot wait!!!!!!
Since I will be living in Minnesota this summer I am choosing to only take a few online classes next semester. Even though i have only been in school one semester this year, I'm slightly burnt out! I just registered this morning and boy was that difficult! BYU-Idaho is making it as difficult as they possibly can to figure out the stupid new website!!  Anywho, Im  signed up for Media Law and Ethics and D&C. I am excited.

So this weekend Zach went to Boise for Pinnacle, and I got to chill at home. It was kind of boring, but it was nice to relax and not do anything. I did however edit some of Zach and I's engagement pictures!

& got a bunch of invites sent out! yay!! now im just waiting till my sisters list gets to me, then they will all be finished!


anywho..

more later
