2 year Anniversary

Mitch and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary yesterday!!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. We were talking about what we were doing this time last year. We moved to Arizona on our 1st year anniversary. We spent the day shopping for furniture for our apartment and then went to dinner with my parents. We kept tradition by going to dinner at PF Chang's. Other than that we didn't do a whole lot. We went to Flagstaff on Labor day weekend and spent the day in the nice cool, fresh air. We kinda used that as our little getaway. Well not much else to tell, the Dr. said everything looks good and I go in again next Monday! My mom and sister will be here in 2 short weeks! We are so excited to see them.

New at this!

Well I am new at this whole blogging thing so you will have to be patient with me until I get caught up on the last two years of our life. :) I will make random entries to get caught up but I promise I will get there! They might be short and sweet and some may be long it will all depend on how much time I have when I start them! Ha Ha Enjoy!

Mitch and I were married on September 17th, 2010. It was such a fun time for both of us. We had the people we love most around us. Couldn't have asked for anything better. We lived in St. Anthony for a month or so and then moved to Idaho Falls so Mitch could be closer to work. Mitch started working for Pepsi before we tied the knot but had been driving from Ashton and St. Anthony. We decided it would be more logical to move there. I then got a job in Rigby that I fell in love with and things were going fantastic. After settling in to our new place we had the company Christmas parties where we met a couple who would become our closest friends, Mike and Brittney Kidman. We instantly hit it off and Brittney and I became inseparable. We did everything together! We are like sisters that we didn't know we had.

In January, 2011 I started not feeling well, I had been to the Dr. and had taken some tests and by June 2011 we found out I had Crohn's Disease. I started treatment right away and nothing seemed to work. I ended up in the hospital in Aug and then decided we needed to get another opinion. Mitch had been poking at the idea to move to Arizona to go to school at the Universal Technical Institute. We heard they had the Mayo clinic in Phoenix and Scottsdale which is one of the best places for crohns patients to be so we decided to make an appointment and come check them out. After my first appointment we looked at places to live. We then made the biggest change and moved to Arizona. We moved on our 1 yr anniversary! My parents, Shane and Penny Wright drove down here with us to help us move. That was such a big help we appreciate them very much. After being here for just a short month I ended up having major surgery because of the Crohns. I couldn't have asked for a better time because Mitch's parents, Paul & Lynda Heiner, came to see us the week before my surgery was scheduled. I was able to have Lynda here for a couple of days to help out with some things before returning home. We had the chance to meet some family we didn't know we had here. Laralee Trentman came to see me at the hospital and has been a great help to us. The ward we are in has been amazing as well. Talk about jumping into the ward! I guess that is one way to get to know everyone fast! ha ha. After surgery I was feeling 100% better, I started looking for work and didn't have the best of luck. We were able to go home for Christmas and spend some time with family and friends. They made it very difficult to drive back to Arizona to finish school.

 February 15, 2012 we found out we were going to be having a baby! It was such a surprise to Mitch and I. My parents had planned a trip to come see us on the 16th so trying to keep that a secret was hard because I wanted to make sure it was true before getting everyone excited. The day after they left I had a Dr appointment to confirm and I couldn't wait to call them and announce the news! As the year progressed I did happen to stumble on the best opportunity I could have. In May the manager of the apartment complex that we live at was looking for a nanny! After being with them for a short time we found out we were having a little BOY! We have chosen the name RUGER SHANE! Heather, the mom of the two little boys I watch, has been amazing to us! She has given us so much stuff for the baby. She has become a great friend. That was the most rewarding job! I have just recently stopped working, the family I have grown to love so much is moving to the east side of the Valley. It kind of worked out perfectly because it has given me time to get things ready for the baby. We will miss them greatly when we move back to Idaho but we also know that I will be coming back to the Mayo Clinic for Dr. appointments and such so we'll get to come see them. I have already been told I can't come unless I bring the baby.:) Of course I wouldn't have it any other way!

It’s now September and our 2 yr anniversary is next Monday! I can't believe how time has flown! We had our 35 week appointment yesterday and they told me that I am measuring at 37 weeks! I am not complaining. All I want is for him to be healthy and wait until the first week of October. My mom and my sister, Mykala, are flying in on the first! I am so excited to see them. I know they are probably more excited to meet Ruger than to come and see Mitch and I. Mazie, our puppy, will sure be excited to see Mykala. I will post pictures of the ultrasounds and some of the cute baby stuff we have received, as soon as I can figure out how to do that!

I will try to keep up on this week by week now, especially since its getting close to delivery day and you will all want to know when that happens I am sure so I will do my best. Love you all!
