Since I am only a few weeks away from welcoming baby girl into our home, I've been thinking a lot. Probably too much. What else is new? But thinking about all the changes that are headed our way. Not only is our family growing, but I am quitting my job, and we will be moving to Logan, Utah. So many changes. For a girl who hates change as much as I do, I am feeling super unprepared. While I was at work yesterday I was listening to likes on my YouTube channel, when this song by Darius Rucker popped up. As I sat there listening while I mindlessly worked, I realized that we are right where we are supposed to be. We may have missed lights or something along the way, but all of those moments lead us to where we are now. I appreciate these quiet moments that just hit me. I know everything is going to be ok and work out how it is supposed to because we were lead to this.
When Jared and I met at SUU, it was because a class was cancelled so we could go and make the copies we needed to start our first assignment. Neither of us were ever in that same place at the same time again the rest of that semester. I know our Heavenly Father has a plan for us. I just need to trust more and worry less. Everything will work out. I'm grateful I was reminded of that in such a small way.

Exciting Times Ahead
Well life has been busy for Jared and I. Changing as we learn and grow together as a couple. We have been chasing down dreams together and we feel very blessed to be where we are right now.
We found out in September we will be welcoming an addition to our family in May. Thankfully it's now January. We know we are having a girl and so far everything is going super great. I'm feeling pretty great too, which I hear is abnormal. 13 more weeks to go!
Since we have been married Jared has been on the path of pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine. We survived o-chem at SUU, thankfully and went through the application process for vet school. He interviewed and was accepted to the Washington State School of Veterinary Medicine Utah State Campus. What on earth does all that mean? Resident Tuition. He is pretty excited to see his dream becoming a reality. He laughs when he gets home from work at the vet office and realizes he was in the shoes of the other volunteers less than two years ago and how quickly things have changed.
We will be moving to Logan sometime near the end of the summer. It gives me a little bit of heartache to think about leaving Cedar. I love Cedar and have made so many friends here in the last 5 1/2 years. It is my home and I don' t think I am ready to leave it yet.
Jared and I are enjoying the prep work of getting everything ready for baby. If you know me and my ocd you can only imagine. We have worked on a few projects for her. Like refinishing a dresser together and making little odds and ends for her room.It's been a lot of fun to work on these projects together.
Even with all the success we see in our lives we have to give the credit where credit is due. We are nothing with out our Lord and Savior who leads and guides us in our everyday lives. We know we wouldn't be doing the things we are in our lives without the gospel and we are grateful everyday for our testimony of the church and the hand that is assisting in our lives. We are truly blessed.
We announced on Facebook we were pregnant at Christmas with this picture. It was all Jared's idea and a lot of fun.
Well I guess that is it. We are excited for where things are going for us. We are looking to the future with faith as our lives are beginning to change.
