It's not beautiful or glamorous. I definitely don't glow and I certainly don't get by without hiccups, but yet the reward is so great. </div><div><br></div><div>Contemplating on my pregnancy this round had me in sort of a humorous laugh. I find myself saying things like "the 10 kidney stone I passed was manageable" or " at least I didn't have SPD this round!" Or "well I've only gone into preterm labor 5 times and had over twelve shots of terbutaline...it could be worse." </div><div><br></div><div>Then this week happened. On Sunday I fell pretty hard chasing Austin at church. It put me into some serious contractions so I went in. After fully laboring 8 hours they sent me home at a 4+. At this point I realized I've had just about enough of this emotional roller coaster. I was done. So all day today I rested, and then of course half way through the day, bleeding. Turns out I have a kidney stone and a UTI. </div><div><br></div><div>At this point all I want is a little normalcy. I want to enjoy pregnancy like many people, but forgive me if I don't. Forgive me if I seem a little hesitant and negative to do it all over again. Forgive me if I look a little TO forward to being induced.</div><div><br></div><div>What gets me through is knowing God has a plan, and he knows my suffering. Only he can truly understand what emotional and physical roller coaster I have been on, and I pray that if I am to have another kid, he can also erase the pain I've been holding onto these past two pregnancies. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm just blessed to have so much support and good people for those nights I had to go in, and needed someone to take me or to watch Austin. Thank you all! </div>Ryan + Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13892661307691632530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3106049068883930579.post-70439673761719158482015-06-30T21:28:00.002-07:002015-06-30T21:34:39.069-07:00Oh Austin...The best way to record memories is to write them down. Since typing is so much faster, why not add it to the neglected blog.<br />
<br />
Austin, what a boy you have become. You are one happy, wild, free spirited little human. You keep me on my toes more than I could ever imagine. I want to write down a little bit about yourself, so in the future you can know exactly what kind of kid you were, at least from your Mother and Father's eyes.<br />
<br />
Let's start with how great of a sleeper you are. You literally sleep 12-13 hours at night! When you wake up you play in your bed with all your stuffed animals (mainly "Ellie") and I actually have to bribe you to get out. I always ask you if you want to see outside, and immediately you jump up and say "see bike, see pink car" (these are things the neighbors leave outside). You are at your sweetest point in the morning, I love my mornings with you. You love banana's and juice, and "maulk" (bless your heart one day you will say milk the right way!) You are also a huge lover of any fruit known to man kind.<br />
<br />
You are a firecracker Austin. Everything you do, you do it 140% (or more haha). You put your whole energy and concentration into everything. You want to take everything apart just to see how it works. You love bikes. Every time you see a motorcycle, bicycle, or anything really with 2 wheels, you yell "BIKE, THATS COOL." You love the outdoors in general. You could live outside. Whenever it's time to come inside, you throw quite the tantrum. You yell, you scream and you say "go ousside" over and over until we finally distract you on something else. You love the pool and splash pad. Every day we pass it you go "pool mama, pool!" You are most definitely my child. One water baby to another. You also love planes. They pass over our house frequently and when you hear a plane you drop everything your doing, look up, and say "Pannneee."<br />
<br />
Lets just briefly describe your love for Mickey. Every.Single.Day. 1000X a day we watch "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse." It's a good thing I love you so much, because I think I've seen it more than I watched Barney as a child.<br />
<br />
Let's just talk about your mischievous side. You do not like the word no, or stop, or anything that stops you from being your free little spirited self. It's landed you in time out a time or two (or 100000) but believe it or not you actually stay in time out. Although you shoot us cute looks to get your way out of it. You're also an extremely fast runner. You can out run your 8.5 month pregnant mom any day. Unfortunately it's scared me to death a few times and I had to stop you from running in the street. You also love to throw things when you aren't supposed too. Namely my phone, and balls in the house, and toys when you don't get your way. You have one heck of an arm and I am sure it's going to serve you well in the future, but for now... It gets you in some trouble. When you get really frustrated, I mean really upset sometimes you hit me, but immediately after you look at me, put your head on my shoulder, and say "sowwy mama, la you mama."<br />
<br />
Whenever your Dad or I get home or you haven't seen us for a few minutes you look at us with wide happy eyes, a big smile, and say in your sweetest voice ever "Hi mama, dada" It literally melts me and your Dad's hearts. You are a sensitive little spirit when it comes to your emotions. You are very gentle with other kids. You don't hit, or bite. You are great at sharing, and you love it when other kids come to play with you. If another kid is a little tough or doesn't want to share you back off and get quiet. You are guarded with your emotions, but you love with all you have.<br />
<br />
You love bath time - like holy cow. Ever since you were little. You live for water. Every night at bed time you have to have "Ellie" ( you have to have her all the time actually) and your "Binky" you always want us to sing two songs. Twinkle Twinkle and I Am A Child of God. You love your turtle and glow worm that light up. For a little while you were terrified of the smoke detector, but luckily you don't think it's going to eat you anymore.<br />
<br />
You truly are a special little boy. You light up my world. Although some days you wear us out, every bit of it is a blessing. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you are healthy, mobile, smart, and full of life. God has given me a true slice of heaven. Every day I see a part of my parents in you. You keep a piece of them with me always. I hope one day you get to know them, because you are so much like both of them.<br />
<br />
I know I work a lot and I lose my patience with you sometimes, but know, always know you will ALWAYS be my baby. I will ALWAYS love you with everything I have, and I will always want you to be the person you are meant to be.<br />
<br />
I also want you to know how much your Dad loves you. You're a lucky boy to have him as "dada." He is so present in your life and puts so much energy into you at the end of each day. He works very hard, but when he comes home his attention falls on you. He wants you to know that he will forever be a huge part of your life, your coach, your #1 fan. In the future, know when he may be hard on you sometimes, it's because he only wants the best for you. Know he will never push you to be anything but who you are. He is a good man, and I know you will follow in his footsteps.<br />
<br />
We love you Austin. This is for you. This is for your future. Right now you may only be 2 years old, but that will change before I know it.<br />
<br />
In a few short weeks you'll have a little brother, and I am so excited to watch how you change and grow with him.<br />
<br />
Oh Austin, how I love you.Ryan + Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13892661307691632530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3106049068883930579.post-84555783206277504992014-11-03T19:57:00.000-08:002014-11-03T19:57:19.354-08:00Learning to Live Without<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

November is birthday month for both of my parent's. My mama's is November 3rd (today) and my Dad's is November 29th. My Birthday lies right in-between on the 13th. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Someone last night asked me if I struggle with the loss of my parents on Holidays. I answered him saying, almost exactly what the quote above says.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most painful thing is living every day without the ability to have them living it with me. It's the moments I want to call them to talk about my day, something good that happened, or if I am hurting and just need my mom. I realized that its ok to hurt. It's okay if I am not always put together, it is okay to miss them, and I do. I miss them a lot.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This quote really fits the way I have felt since earlier this year. I was faced with some situations where it was really hard to have the desire to be forgiving and love my enemies. I found it especially difficult when this enemy was thought to be my friend. It can often times be hard to understand why a person would pretend to be ones friend, and put effort into something that they really had no desire to be apart of. I let myself carry this burden for a long time. I analyzed why they said the things they did about me and involved people who didn't even know me or had never talked to me. The people I shared this experience with, asked me "why haven't you confronted them?" "are you going to call them out?" "are you going to be nice to them?" I thought about all these questions quite a bit, and then after a few months I realized…"why am I dwelling on this at all?" I knew I would come in contact with this person multiple times a week, so what could I do to make the situation less burdensome. After lots of thought, and run in's with this particular person. I began to let it go. I stopped avoiding conversation, I stopped avoiding encounters. I stopped letting it hurt me. The truth is, I let it go. Now when I see them, I don't think about the hurt they caused, I think about how I can make things better between me and this person. I don't owe anyone an apology, but there is truth behind loving your enemy. It is possible, and once you learn to let the heavy burden go, and try to understand where that person is coming from, you heal. I may never understand the reasons why, but I don't need to. The only thing I need to understand is that person a little better. Sometimes if a thing weighs heavy on your heart, let it go. You'll thank yourself later. </div>

My husband had me watch a documentary that was recommended to him by his sister Michelle. It is called "Finding Joe." I didn't want to watch this at first because it was 70 minutes out of my time that was too precious to give up. However, I'm grateful I stuck it out and watched the movie. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This movie has really made me try to embrace my "real" self. In my difficult moments, and in my trials, I have tried to capture that small moment where I feel things that my "real" self feels. If you're wondering what I mean by "real" self. I mean that person that society doesn't tell what is right or wrong, that person who knows and believes they really can do anything they put their mind, effort, and energy too. The truth is, we rarely are our real selves. We get caught up in worldly standards, society standards and stereotypes for ourselves. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not going to get into detail because that could make for a long blog, but I really suggest that everyone goes to iTunes and rents this movie. It's $5.00 and it's worth every penny. It's helped me realize what I thought brought me happiness really isn't what brings my real self and my subconscious happiness.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I captured a few moments that do make me happy, all the way down to the core.</div>

Most days I try not to contemplate how busy our lives are, but somedays I can't help but feel exhausted from it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought it was manageable being a full time Manager, Student, Wife & Mom, but I was <b><u><span style="color: #ea9999;">CRAZY</span></u></b> for thinking that. Even super woman can't handle all that without feeling exhausted! Not to mention throw a social life and spiritual life into that and I'm fried! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am not pleased with the circumstance I've got myself into, but I am grateful I am healthy, able, and determined enough to finish what I started. The talk given by Uchtdorf in General Conference really made me take a step back and see how I can be grateful in times of trials, distress, and hardship. I have been through quite a bit in the past 3 years, and I used to wonder when I would get a break. Taking a look back, I feel there was always a silver lining during my times of hardship. Always an upside. It's during those dark times that I tried to find any bit of goodness I could. I feel like being grateful during those times can heal you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I continue to tell myself, this isn't forever. Soon I can simply go to work and come home to my family. I'll have my degree and I'll have accomplished a task that has been a challenge since I began 7</div>
<div>
Years ago. (Yes 7, I've had a lot happen inbetween). My husband and I can actually have time to workout, hike, camp, bike, <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">enjoy life</span>!</b></div>
<div>

<div>
I am ready, so ready. </div>

<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b><u>Today you turn One</u></b></span>. I honestly cannot believe how the time has flown. I still remember the day I found out about you. You know, your Grandma Annie was the first to know, even before your dad! You won't get to meet her in this lifetime, but she loves you, and one day you will know her well.<br />
<br />
Austin, I want to let you know how grateful I am for you. You truly are the light and joy in my life. Everyday I come home from work to you, you have your big toothy grin (<span style="color: #e06666;"><i>by the way you have 8 teeth already!</i></span>), and you clap your hands. You have no idea how much that means to me. Every time I drop you off before work, and you cry and cry because you are sad I am leaving, although it hurts, I am so glad you love me soooo much! You are growing up so fast, and sometimes I wish I could slow it down.<br />
<br />
You have such a personality already. You are one of the happiest babies I have ever seen, and I am not just saying that because you are mine. Since the day you were born you rarely cried, and you still rarely cry. On the exception of when you are hungry and tired! You are strong as an ox. It amazes me how you can crawl up on the couch like you are a little rock climber just to reach the blinds. You are so smart. I watch you pick things up and examine them like you are trying to figure out how it works. (<span style="color: #e06666;"><i>you get that from your dad and Papa Bill.</i></span>) Your curiosity is intriguing. You love the pantry. When the door is open you crawl super fast to get inside, and take all your sippy cups out of the basket. You also love the remote, toilet, and toilet paper. You are determined, when you want something you find a way to get it, when you want to get somewhere you find a way to get there. (<i><span style="color: #e06666;">I take credit for that</span></i>). You love love love food. If dad or I are eating, you MUST be eating also. There is no exceptions!<br />
<br />
Most importantly Austin, you are <span style="color: #e06666;">YOU</span>. I love <span style="color: #e06666;">YOU</span>. I am grateful for <span style="color: #e06666;">YOU</span>. You saved me! I don't know how I could have made it through certain things if I had not been pregnant with you. You truly took pain away from my heart and let joy and happiness fill it. You will do great things. You are strong and determined and will succeed at whatever your endeavors are in life. I hope to bring you up to know your Heavenly Father, and that you can be a strong man of faith. I am so excited for the years to come, and I am so grateful God gave me you.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Your mama!<br />

I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not make this a long post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply want to say, how grateful I am for...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He cleans the dishes without asking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He does the laundry when he knows I don't have time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is patient with my moods.<br />
He is patient in general.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a simple kind of love either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves me for everything I am, everything I can do, and can be, but...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He also loves me for everything I lack, for my short comings, my weaknesses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He uplifts me, instead of breaking me down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He believes in me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only is Ryan all of this and more,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is an amazing, amazing father.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He knows what it means to love his son.<br />
To be an example to his son.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be tentative to his son.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, he may not always want to get up in the middle of the night, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He does.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He never gets upset, mad, or frustrated when Austin is fussy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He changes poopy diapers without complaint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every night, he helps me with bedtime. No questions asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has nothing but love for his child, and his wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this I am grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have chosen well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Women, appreciate all that your husband does. They need to know how you feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh the New Year. I have learned it is very important to appreciate the year past and to welcome the New Year in a positive light. I see many people who say "2013 sucked, I am ready for 2014!" You never know what this year could bring. It could bring joy or heart ache. Never wish a year away, and never assume the future. Be grateful God blessed you with another 365 days of life. Each year, whether good or bad, is a gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have some pretty awesome goals for myself this year. I know I can accomplish them, if I so choose to be dedicated. I will share just a few of my goals and "resolutions."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: #e06666;">My Individual Goals</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Strengthen my relationship with God and Jesus Christ</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Strengthen my relationship with my Husband</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Take care of my mind, body, and spirit (Yoga, Exercise, Healthy Eating)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Graduate College</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Keep a steady journal (A daily journal is unrealistic in my life)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: #e06666;">Ryan and I's Joint Goals</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Do more activities together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Spend more time outdoors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Grow spiritually together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Save $$ for retirement (because lets face it, social security is a thing of the past)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #e06666;"><i>"Today is the first page of a 365 book. Write a good one."</i></span></b></div>

I felt so many weird emotions I don't even know how to explain them, but I'll try...<br>
<div>
<br>
<div>
1. I felt old. Most people told me this doesn't happen till 26. However, it happened for me...at 25.</div>
<div>
2. Reality set in that I am a quarter of a century already. Where did time go? So much can happen in 25 years. It can't be possible. I must really be 45...</div>
<div>
3. Then the positives. I began to realize I'm only 25 and I have a faithful and loving husband, a happy and healthy child, and on Monday I will officially be a home owner...I think I'm on the right track. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
So anyways despite me not wanting to grow older. My husband tried to make it enjoyable. He had beautiful sunflowers delivered to my work. I've always always wanted that. However, I've never told him that, but he must of read my mind. The sunflowers were especially special. He remembered there was a bush of them outside the house my mom last lived in. I would pick them and put them at her grave. He's so thoughtful.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
He also bought be Call of Duty: Ghosts. I know most of my girlfriends won't understand, but this was the beat present ever! He sure knows the way to my heart! I love COD. It's the only game I play though, all other video games are over my head. Yes, I am better at the game then Ryan ;)</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
We then went to Texas Road House! I road the saddle, enough said.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
It was a great day! </div>
</div>

<br /></div>
So normally Ryan and I kinda struggle with this holiday. I attempted to be festive. I even bought stuff to make a wreath, but this year like every year, it never got done. I have the hardest time getting into Halloween. I wasn't even going to take Austin out trick or treating and honestly I didn't even buy him a costume until our friends invited us out trick or treating. They picked up a cute costume for him from Costco. I honestly wasn't feeling trick or treating at all. Work was long and I was tired, but the minute I saw Austin in that precious costume I couldn't help but be excited to show him off to everyone around.<br />

He went up to about 10 houses and he grabbed his candy all by himself. Everyone loved him. I mean I am biased, but Austin is so darn cute!! I ended to having a blast and so did Austin. I may or may not have eaten a couple of pieces of his candy! </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> We are getting so so excited! Our house is almost finished. We should be moving in, in no more than 3 weeks. Yesterday I went by the house to check out the progress. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The whole outside has been finished. Except for the fence and grass. We won't be getting grass in until April because it snows all winter long so kind of pointless. The inside tile is done and all the cabinetry is in! They were painting the walls when I visited yesterday. I am getting so excited! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I haven't even begun to pack our apartment. I really should get on that. I feel like ill have time but then next thing I know another week has already passed! </div>

On Saturday night we hung out with our friends Madi and Taylor and another couple. It was a lot of fun! I always enjoy hanging out with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sunday we had Jake and Aubre over for dinner. It was nice visiting with them! It had been much to long :) can't wait for future dinners! </div>

Austin is growing up way to fast! He is now 7 months. Where has the time gone? He laughs, and copycats me all the time. He eats a lot more solid food! He sits in a high chair. He babbles all the day long. He gets up on all fours but no crawling yet. He does like to scootch backwards. He's graduated to his stroller and not his carrier. And he sleeps through the night, about 12 hours. He is perfect! </div>

Ryan and I move into our house in just under a month (assuming all goes as planned). We were supposed to be moved in right now, but the contractors got behind (not surprised). It's been a new experiencing building a home. And we got to choose so many things it was fun. Granted it is a town home, it's still out first home together. We visited it last Sunday, and here is the progress so far. </div>

Half of the house is dry walked but all of it is stuccoed now! I'm so ready to be away from commercial construction and away from loud people above me and away from Provo. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Don't hey me wrong Provo is a great city, but it's so congested and busy all the time. There is no peace and quiet. That is one of the reasons Ryan and I chose Saratoga Spring/Lehi. It's quiet. </div>

We got Austin's 6 month pictures done! (Thanks Madelyn Wayment)! He is growing up way to fast!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He laughs all the time, smiles most of the time (unless it involves naps or sleeping). He is super close to crawling. He doesn't like to roll much bc his big head is to much to flip haha! He babbles, makes weird noises with his lips and tongue, and mimics all my noises. He loves bath time! He weighs 19.5 lbs and is 27 inches! His favorite food right now is sweet potatoes and squash! He hates peas. I tried so many times and he just spits them out! He's almost 7 months old! How time flies!</div>

Austin is #1 getting to big for the bouncer (which makes me sad lol) and #2 so alert! He loves looking and grabbing at things! Today he is 11 weeks old! </div>

Austin is the most smiley, happy, morning person you will ever meet. Every morning at 6:30 he wakes up bright-eyed and talks to us for the next 3 hours! Good thing I am a morning person too :). This picture was taken this morning as daddy was talking to him! He's excited to go to the water park today with mommy!</div>

I love to read to Austin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know he is too young to really understand anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He doesn't really even look at the pictures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it feels good to read to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He always smiles and giggles when I read to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love our one on one time :)</div>

I feel encouraged to do this for many reasons. My main reason, however, is so that I can capture moments in my son's life that I wish my family would have captured. I can sadly say I have very very few pictures of when I was ages 1-4, and how I long to have them so i can compare them to my little one now. <br />
<br />
I am going to be posting pictures every day for the next year of Austin. If I miss a day, I will post two posts and make up the next day.<br />
<br />
Project 365 will begin tomorrow <3></3>Ryan + Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13892661307691632530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3106049068883930579.post-32819960038577760722013-05-28T16:28:00.001-07:002013-05-28T16:29:50.587-07:00Memorial Day Weekend<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryan and I had a wonderful weekend! We spent it with friends and family and our amazing little Austin! (Who isn't so little anymore)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday was kind of uneventful. I came home from work around 8 and did homework, and ended up passing out for the night. I felt bad because Ryan totally wanted to go out, but I was too exhausted. I am back to working full time and going to school and trying to be a good mom. That can take a lot out of anyone. Sometimes I don't know how I do it, I just do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday was such a great day. Karla came over and did my hair :) and then we went to hang out with our friend Sarah at the pool in Eagle Mountain. Later that evening Ryan and I had a bonfire with our friends Jake, Aubre, Sean, and Cari. We made delicious tin foil dinners and roasted starbursts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday, Ryan and I went up to our friends the Johnson's cabin. There we rode four wheelers, relaxed, ate good food, and just spent time with one another. It was really nice getting out of town for a bit. Everyone loved spending time with Austin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Memorial day was spent running a few errands. Later we headed up to Salt Lake City to have a BBQ with my family. We hung out at the pool and ate delicious steak, chicken, and brauts (sp?). It was nice spending time with my sister Jessi and my sweet nephew kason. I had missed them a ton while they were in Hawaii!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now unfortunatley it's back to work for Ryan and I. I hope we can take a little trip to california soon. I am in need of the beach and a little family vacation...Maybe for our 3 year anniversary. Next weekend Austin is getting blessed. I am so excited, but I need to find his outfit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheers! <3></3></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd have to say a lot has happened in 6 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mostly great things :) This year has really turned out to be a better one than the past 2.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you know, 6 weeks ago I had a beautiful baby boy.</div>

he is growing so fast, and might I add, he is a chunky one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't exactly know how much he weighs right now, but it's over <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">10 lbs.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's such a great eater, and goes about 3-4 hours in between. If I am lucky sometimes more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He barely ever cries (<i><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">he'd rather grunt lol</span></b></i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He looks so much like both Ryan and I it's crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's absolutely perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Also, I had lots of visitors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My best friend Mary came to visit from Georgia! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had lots of fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I miss her so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Step Mom <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Jenny</span></b>, My Sister <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>April</b></span>, and My <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Grandma Jeanette</span></b> came in town the week after.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was Jessi and Dustin's graduation and they came to meet Austin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was wonderful spending so much time with them. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another amazing thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are currently under<b><i><u><span style="color: #ea9999;"> contract for a new built home</span></u></i></b> that will be finished in september.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have already been approved, we will not close, however, until August.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very excited for the things to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished another semester of school with great grades.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I officially only have 1 year left until I am completely DONE with school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been hard being pregnant having a baby and continuing school, but I am proud of myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only did I complete 2 full semesters. I managed to complete them successfully with <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">good grades</span></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I have experienced a lot of bad the past 2 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am grateful for the good that God has brought into my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I miss my Mom and Dad more than words can express.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At times I get angry and wish they were both here to help me, but then...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then God reminds me of my purpose and the good I still have left on this earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"><b>I am grateful.</b></span></div>

I actually decided to give another pinterest recipe a try. However, I always end up changing the recipe up a bit for my liking. It usually turns out better than the original recipe would have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a super healthy dinner, includes NO butter which always helps to cut calories!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is my edited version of this recipe!</div>
