Back in the Burg

Sorry it has taken me forever to update. We made the very long and uncomfortable drive back to Rexburg. A total 36 hours in the car and a few hours added up of gas and bathroom stops. Never the less we are here. We have moved into Hyde Park and thanks to all my very sweet friends ( Madison, Kayla and Jill) we are all unpacked and set up. I will say things have been more difficult being 22 weeks pregnant. I just don't have the energy I used to and my body is so picky and wont let me do anything to long. That includes sitting. Weird huh? So we started school on Tuesday. Ben is switching his major to History and I have switched to UNiversity Studies. I am finally to that point in my schooling where I want to be done more than I care what I graduate in. So I am kind of creating my major. It has been difficult but fun. I have decided that Marriage and Family Studies is my calling in life. Go figure;) School has been good so far though nothing too traumatic. That won't be till the end of the semester when grades come in. HAHA So yeah that is us right now!

Valentines Weekend

So life has been stressful these days with my sisters wedding coming up in a month! So with our one year anniversary coming up and Valentines day we decided it would be nice to get away for a romantic weekend. Williamsburg was the perfect little get away for our much needed trip! So we got a room in a cute little bed and breakfast and enjoyed the weekend. Of course it ended much to soon and reality set back in. We have just been busy working and trying to help with the stressfulness of planning a wedding! We have also been having a ton of fun being expecting parents! On April 1st we get to find out the babies sex. Ben feels its a boy, more hopes then intuition if you ask me, but I feel we are going to have a baby girl. It's excited to play the guessing game and we can't wait to find out!

Update

So Ben and I have just been hanging around in Va. for the past few days. It has been rough with the huge snow that was just dumped on our area. Two solid heavy feet of snow. In Idaho that might not be a big deal, but out here we have had hundreds of trees fall and cause power outages in the entire county. In Idaho there is nothing for the snow to damage cause there is only a flat nothingness! Here the snow is wet and heavier than anything Idaho has every experienced because we get moisture like nobody's business! So because of the conditions we have been stuck in the house for two weeks straight cause the snow just keeps on falling! Ben is being driven crazy because he just can't understand why nobody goes to work, school, the government everything is shut down! The roads here are much different to try and survive driving in the rough conditions. On both sides of the road, trees wait five feet from your vehicle as you maneuver around the curves. You can tell I have done nothing but think about the inconvenience of the snow when it hits a place like Va. I think I am just about done with it!

Ok so as you can see the latest news with our family is we are getting ready for an addition! I am nine weeks along and we are so excited for this wonderful blessing to come! Today was my first Doctors appointment and we were relieved to here that all was well with him or her! We are looking forward to the next few visits till we can find out the gender! Keep in touch!

Catching Up!

Ben and I have finally made it to Virginia after a very long 33 hour drive. It was nice to have my brother Matt there to assist with the driving. It has been nice to be home but the weather is not exactly what I was hoping it would be. We have already had a snow day! Boo:( Ben has been busy working up North in DC. Construction fits him well, he loves working with his hands! I have been working off and on with my my while waiting to hear back from a few places I have applied to. We are looking forward to next semester though and seeing all our friends in Idaho!

Madison this one's for you!

Ok Madison this is for you! So I will start with Thanksgiving...Ben and I decided that we would surprise my sister who was coming home from her mission in Indonesia. She had never met Ben before then and was very disappointed that she wasn't going to have that chance right away. We made the 33 hour trip there stayed for two days(She was ecstatic by the way)and a 33 hour trip back all in one very long exhausting week. All in all it was worth it...A good Southern cook Thanksgiving dinner was just enough to keep us going. When we finally got home which actually took an hour longer due to the fact that Ben decided to take a short cut which ended up being a little bit longer, we started our relentless two weeks before finals. Both Ben and I did very well on all our finals so the sacrifice to study was well worth it. We just got back from a weekend in Boise for a friends wedding a much needed vacation for both of us, and are now getting prepared for Christmas with the Tibbitts family. Merry Christmas to all!
