Some pictures I promised

So, I'm still working on getting a team photo, but here at the pictures of Reid's leg after sliding into the bases...


Thank goodness Reid is a certified EMT because there is no way I could have bandaged that!
It's still pretty sore he says, but it starting to get better

Sorry I don't have any pictures to share; Wednesday was a crazy day! As always Reid had school and I have work, but yesterday Reid picked me up and we went to the Provo temple for ward temple night (really early though) and after that Reid had his final game of softball before playoffs next week. I forgot to pack the camera for the game, hopefully I'll be able to get a team picture up here soon. It was pretty fun.. our friend Jon came with and made feel a lot less ridiculous not cheering for Reid. He did it all, with a little help from me. (I get really self-conscious that I wont be heard or that I'll be too loud and look dumb so I normally don't cheer at all) Anyway the other team was up first and "Mark's Team" (that's the name of Reid's team) didn't let them score in the first inning. Reid was the third batter up the first time and in that inning they brought 5 home! The rest of the game was pretty close after that. Towards the end I thought we were done for. In the bottom of the last inning ("Mark's Team" was at bat) the pitcher for the other team kept walking everybody! We caught up and with bases loaded we broke the tie and we won! Our first real win of the season! Reid had an awesome catch in left-center diving and then holding up the ball to prove he caught it! I don't think I've ever been so impressed by him. He got scrapped up a bit (i'll get a picture later) sliding in to 3rd base and home. It was awesome... their team did great!

Softball

This spring and summer Reid is on an inter-mural softball team for BYU. He did it last year and decided with his school schedule, that this would be his outlet this summer. The season is pretty short, only four games and then playoffs (which we don't know when that actually starts), but then there is another season right after. I've been to all of the practices they've had and the games Reid could go to and will probably go to all the rest. This past game I brought the camera and got a few good pictures, if his team could only get a few good runs...

Okay, I had a few more pictures, but I cant seem to get them to post upside-right. Hopefully I can figure it out and add them later.

BABY GIRL

I'm supposed to be studying for a final but I had to put this up.

Can I call it sickness?

Let's just face it... I know I have REALLY been sucking at blogging. But on the bright side two weekends ago Reid and I did a lot of cleaning, last weekend we went to the Draper Temple Open House and back in January I found out we were pregnant!
Okay that's a really bad picture, but it says I'm pregnant. On the 10th of February I heard the heartbeat for the first time and then on March 11th, Reid and I both heard the heartbeat.
Yesterday morning (St. Patrick's Day) I felt the baby kick and had Reid's hand on my stomach all night so that he could feel it too, but no luck. Today is 15 weeks and unfortunately I still get sick, but Reid is such a sweetheart and takes care of me, his school, and work. What a guy! So that's why I haven't been writing, I felt like crap a lot. But it's getting better so hopefully I can keep everyone informed.
Here's me and the baby at 15 weeks

Winter 2009

Well last time I wrote was the most stressful week of Fall 2008. Things are going much better though. First I guess I should explain the picture. Yes ladies and gentlemen that is a Canon Rebel XS. Susie got it for her birthday. I would have used it to take a picture of it but that's a lot harder to do than you'd think. So we've pretty much only taken pictures of our cat. WAY too many. Above is B's tiger face.

Anyways This semester I'm taking 18 credits and so far handling it. I'm taking a piano class so I'm forced to learn the piano. Playing Christmas carols at my friend Jon's house inspired me to learn the piano well so I can play Christmas carols with my family.

Next I'm taking quantitative chemistry class which I'm actually enjoying because its a lot of math which I love. I'm also taking a Physics class that focuses mostly on kinetics. I like that part of physics but the part I love the most wont come till the next physics class I take which will discusses magnetism. THAT'S AWESOME!

Next up is a Doctrine and Covenants class, a Church History class (very interesting), and an American History/Government class. That class is sweet but a lot of reading. He let us choose how to reach expected learning outcomes and didn't want us to say a word about quizzes or tests. I totally agree. Testing is just a poor sampling exercise that doesn't reflect well what one has learned.

Anyways, I'm taking an easy physics lab and doing some sweet research down on a dairy farm. We are looking for genetic markers in double ovulating cows to determine how to breed cows that don't double ovulate. SWEET. Yeah I got to put my arm in a cows rearend. I pretty much loved it. I didnt really know what I was feeling for but it was still cool.

Last but not least my EMT class is sweet. I volunteer at least 8 hours a week as an EMT. Absolutely love it. Well you might not hear from me again for a while. Wish me luck. I feel like I'm going 100 miles per hour. Its a rush but if I make one wrong move, in this case get a little behind, I'll crash and burn playing catch up for the rest of the semester.

2009

It's a new year, so that means time for a new post (sorry I'm 4 days late!)
When Reid and I were home for Christmas, I remember thinking in bed that I still couldn't believe we had been married for over a year. We've spent a full calendar year with each other plus some, and what a year it has been. From trips to weddings, birth of a new niece, school, school, moving in with my sister, school work, some more school, our own wedding anniversary, holidays and more school and work, I can not say that I didn't love every minute of it. I am excited for this year, for the strengthening of friendships, yes more school, work, hopefully more trips (I don't know who else could be getting married soon though) and everything that life decides to throw at us. Bring it on!
We hope you have a wonderful and prosperous year!
