What an Awesome Day!

 

Today has been so awesome. I found out that Grant and I are having a healthy baby girl. I swore up and down to Grant that I knew it was a boy. haha. But we are very happy! When asked if Abby wanted a little sister or a little brother, she answered little sister every time. So it seems that she knew better than all of us. I'm pretending Grant agreed with me, which isn't completely true =). Now we just have to pick a name and Grant automatically hates the names I choose just because I got to pick Abby's name with really no input from him because I had it chosen since high school. So I will have to learn how to speak to his subconscious mind when he sleeps so he will like a name that I like to.


Another super awesome event in my day is that I graduated from USU with a BS in Family Life Studies. I took my last final and it feels awesome. I love saying that I am now an Aggie Alumni! I am looking forward to having time to clean my house and pick up some neglected hobbies like playing my piano and maybe some scrapbooking. 

I am so grateful for my little family, Grant, Abby, and "Abby's little sister" and my family and extended family. A special thanks to my friends and neighbors who would watch Abby while Grant was working and I needed to study! I have been given so many blessings throughout these experiences and I would be ungrateful if I didn't thank my Heavenly Father for helping to guide me and comfort me through the hard times.

Happy Easter







I think I definitely need to take more pictures because I never have anything to share (that aren't on Grant's phone). I need to get some pictures of Abby and her cousins Natalie and Charlotte playing.

We had such a great time playing on Friday with Katie and Reagan. We colored eggs and ate pizza and cake. Saturday we watched the football scrimmage and ate lunch with the football team. Easter Sunday we spent at church and then headed to Susan and Don Parry's house. We ate good food and played out in the warm sun. It was such a nice Easter weekend.

I am grateful this Easter season for my Savior, who suffered so that we can be forgiven of our sins, be comforted in our times of need, and that we'll be able to return to our Heavenly Father to live with Him and our families again. I just hope that I can continue to teach my daughter the real purpose for Easter and help her find a love for her Savior.
