A Little Nugget of Goodness

As long as me and Hayley have been together we have dreamed of having a dog. Now that we are married we thought it was a possibility, however, because of our small living space and busy lives it just wouldn't be fair to the puppy. So instead, we got ourselves a cat! It wasn't planned that way, but after a a quick visit to Petland, we ended up leaving with a cat. I have never been a fan of cats but she is exactly what we needed. She has quite the personality and even plays fetch with us! It's kinda like a dog I guess, right? Anyways, we are just loving her but have been having some trouble with a name. However, I am rather stubborn so once I decided on a name I liked I just kept calling her by it. And eventually, againnst much debate, even Hayely slipped up and called her nugget. Haha, so it's final. So here is the newest memebr of our little family, Nugget!

Baby love!

Well here it is, after much waiting, the baby bump decides to "pop". These pictures are from when i was at five months and had my ultra sound, Which is a month behind where i am now so expect more! Levi and i took the ultra sound day off to make it a date. I think Levi enjoys the ultrasounds more than me. I glance at Levi every few minutes just to see his jaw droping farther and farther. "THATS SO COOOOOOL!"






Oh ya, AND, we're having a girl!

Update

Ok, so we havent been the most dillegent in our bloging efforts, but what can I say? We've just been so busy getting settled in and starting our lives together. We finally have the internet hooked up in our new place so here is the beginning of, what I hope, is a constatnt update of our little family. We are loving our new place and ward. Everything just seemed to fall into place in the last few months as we looked for a home, prepared for school, and found a ward we felt at home in. It's hard notto feel at home in a ward where we have grandparents, aunts, cousins, friends, and old youth/EFY leaders. Cooking is one of our favorite things so we love having date nights where we cook and bake and watch movies in our new home. Cinnamon Pull aparts for our date night. This was our first sunday dinner we made together as a married coupl. We love cooking and we love to photograph it. Is that wierd of us? lol oh, well.

Hayley has tried baking so many things since we have moved in but they never seem to come out right. Thats ok though, just stick to cooking Hayley, and let me do the baking. =)

Another shot of our first sunday dinner. Sitting down for one of our awesome movie nights!

MMMMMMM!!! Popcorn, chocolate bars, fuzzy peaches, peanuts, grapes, Pepsi, and my favorite.....Kiss Cookies!!!

"What Happens in Vegas"

After a doctors appointment last wednesday Hayley recieved the great news that she can start her maternity leave on only two weeks! Needless to say we are both very happy about the time we will be able to spend together. Since starting my job at Wendy's we havent got to see much of eachother since Hayley works days and I work nights. But we cant complain, cause we are still seeing more of eachother than before we were married I suppose.

In just two weeks I am heading back to school! Surprisingly enough, I couldn't be happier. I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life and to have my wife with me to encouage me along the way. I will be attending the Lethbridge College taking a General Studies Major in Psychology and Sociology. Afterwards I hope to transfer to the UofL and get me combined degree in education.

Other than that not much is going on. We are just preparing for the fall and enjoying these last bits of summer while we can. Lots of visiting family, nieces and nephews, and even animals! But thats for another time)
