Just a little extra

A little hike up to Stewart Falls up Provo Canyon.
First home football game. GO COUGS!
I have a conniving look on my face...

One word...haha. Jessie says this defines our relationship perfectly. She beats me...my parents love it.

Halloween

Ok, so we're on a blogging hay day right now, so we might as well get in some of Halloween now. Jessie did the last few, so now it's my turn to hit up the blog-o-sphere. We spent the night with Jessie's sister, Katie and her husband, Cameron, as well as Jessie's cousin Becky and her husband JD. Jessie dressed up as Tinkerbell, I dressed up as a lost boy, Katie and Cameron dressed up as Bella and Edward Cullen...I had to ask Jessie what their names even were...all I knew is it had something to do with Twilight. All you rabid Twilight ladies out there, please don't kill me. And Becky and JD dressed up as...Becky and JD. We had a good night. Played some games, ate dinner in a pumpkin, and chowed on some candy. In any case, it was a good time.Katie and Cameron.
So, do I look lost?
Jessie is beautiful, what can I say.
Our beautiful little pumpkin.
Our pumpkin after hours of work...and no, I was not COMPLETELY naked.

Honeymoon

We went to Fripp Island in South Carolina and it was so fun and beautiful. The tropical storm luckily missed us and just gave us some good waves at the beach. This is the view from the back deck of the condo.

We had a spiral staircase....that Brad had fun with :D

The downstairs of the condo.

The awesome tavern we went to! They had AMAZING seafood!

Taking a walk in the tidal lands.

The tidal lands- so beautiful


Walking on the path over the tidal lands.

Very green South Carolina

Awesome sand castle that we came across.

Brad on the beach- he looks like a pirate.
Huge dead trees that were scattered along this beach.


A cool lighthouse.

Yes, we love each other.
Brad on the beach!

Such a pretty beach

The forest paths that led to the beach

The Shrimp shack-- they didn't have very good food.

Pretty sunset

Having fun at the beach!



Leaving from Georgia to go to Fripp Island!

My Eggo is Preggo

Hey everyone!

So, I guess it is time to officially announce to everyone that I am pregnant :D We found out about 2 weeks ago (the day after Halloween) and this week is week 6 of being pregnant. The queasiness has started to kick in, but not too bad. Mostly certain smells and certain foods make me feel kind of queasy especially heavy or greasy foods. But if I don't eat often enough then I also feel sick. So, I always make sure to bring snacks with me everywhere. We are so excited and can't wait until July 4th! That is the due date they gave us at the doctor's office. We have been thinking about names and if anyone has any good suggestions, especially for boy names, let us know! But for a boy we are thinking about the name Aiden and for a girl the name Kali. If we don't come up with any names we like better these will probably be what we choose. That is all our big news for now :D Besides that school is going well for both of us. Only three weeks left until finals! This week is pretty busy for me I have three papers due. But the end is in sight and we are so excited for Thanksgiving next week!! We love you all! We will be posting pictures shortly!

Sabotage

Ha ha...I just thought I would leave a little post here since I went to open up my blog and I was logged into Brad and Jessie's. This is like writing on your wall on Facebook with exclusive rights. Let's see how long it takes you guys to figure out that I posted this here......... :)

Food Drive

So, I work with a girl named Heidi. Our boss, Milt, wasn't at work yesterday, and we decided that he might like to hear from us. So, we put Heidi in a food drive container, took a picture, and sent it to Milt with the message, "We've decided to donate Heidi to the food drive." Thinking we just get a bit of a chuckle from Milt, we were pleasantly surprised when he responded, "But she's so skinny." Who says you can't have fun as a custodian? haha
