Expecting

Yes yes yes it is true, we are expecting our first baby in July! This came as quite a surprise to us, I was having some medical problems and went in to have things checked out and found out I was expecting! It wasn't exactly in our plans anytime soon, but we are very excited about it! It makes things a little complicated with my Masters program but we will work it all out and have a little mutton buster on our hands! Its pretty crazy after we found out I was expecting my cousins also found out they were expecting about 2 weeks after my due date and Jeff's brother and sister in law are also expecting about 4 weeks after us!! Crazy crazy! Well this will be grandchild #2 on my side and #15 on Jeff's side!! Quite the family we are building up on that side! David and Shandrae's baby will make 16 grand kids!!
We had our first ultrasound last week and saw the heartbeat and everything looked great as far as we could tell, according to the ultrasound we are about 11 weeks today so that puts my due date on July 19th. I haven't been dealing with morning sickness too much, but all day sickness instead!! Ha if I keep food in my system about every 3-4 hours it helps a lot. I have also had some major lower back problems the last few weeks, I have been to the chiropractor several times but it seems that is only a quick fix and has yet to relieve the pain for more than a few hours. I am hoping that I can start physical therapy next week and get things worked out before I get much bigger and things really start to move. Anyhow, we get to find out what it is around the first of March so I will let everyone know what it is when we find out!

April Fools in December

BAH HUMBUG!!
Santa is playing mind games this winter :) On Tuesday I was online checking my bank account and as the page pulled up I noticed a rather large amount of money had suddenly made its way into my account. Somewhere along the lines of $40,500 had been deposited in my savings account the day before!! WOO HOO somone loves me..... Well turns out not really, the bank made a big mistake and took it all back today, so depressing :( Oh well it was fun to look at for the 4 days it was there!! Thats probably the last time my account will ever see that much hahah


And yes I have been a big slacker in the Christmas decoration pictures, perhaps someday I will get them posted!

First Blog!

Hi all!
Well this is officially my first blog! haha My neighbor showed me her blog tonight and I thought I was a really good idea to try to keep everyone updated on our crazy life since I don't talk to anyone very often.

Well just a quick update of life I guess, I am full swing into my research project now with 94 pregnant sheep that I feed sagebrush to every few days! Haha quite the adventure, I spend about 4-5 hours a day feeding "the girls" and if I am lucky Jeff comes out to help (which is most of the time). I'm not taking any classes this year just focusing on the research, I will have my hands full in April when "the girls" start having their lambs!!

Unfortunately the sheep require me to be here on a daily basis to feed them so we cannot leave Logan to visit family until sometime around June. Which means we spent Thanksgiving here with the neighbors and will spend Christmas alone in Logan for the first time in 5 years.

Jeff is working hard and enjoying a few days off before he starts working the busy month of January where he doesn't get any days off the whole month!! I think he is still enjoying the nice weather and riding his bike whenever he can! I've been under the weather the past week and he has been taking good care of me! Don't know what I'd do without him!!

We spent the weekend decorating the house and putting up the tree, I will take some pictures tomorrow and put them on here.
