A Happy Anniversary!

Last Wednesday, Jared and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. It is hard to believe that it has already been a year, but at the same time, it feels like we have been together much longer. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and for our eternal marriage. I love him so much and I am so happy that we will be together forever!
Jared had finals last week, so we had to celebrate the big day in two parts. On Wednesday, we ordered dinner and just hung out at home. On Friday, we went to Texas Roadhouse and had dinner. Our waitress was really nice and surprised us with a free hot fudge sundae to celebrate. We then finished doing our Christmas shopping. It was a great anniversary and I can't wait for the many more to come!

The happy couple!

All Is Well

We are still doing really well here in Iceburg (as it is very affectionately called). Jared has been really busy trying to finish up the Fall semester, and will probably get straight A's again! I am so proud of him for all of his hard work and dedication. He has so much going on and he is handling it all without any complaints.
I am still nannying, which I will do as long as I can. I also got my seasonal job at H&R Block back, which I will start in January. This will hopefully ease some of the pressure on Jared after our baby comes.
Speaking of babies, everything is still going well with Mr. Peanut. I went in for my 6 month check-up and our little boy is still healthy and big. I have also been doing SO much better. It seems like I am getting bigger every day, and I am so thankful for comfy maternity pants! I finally have an appetite and I am making up for being so sick by eating all of the time (right in time for holiday treats, hooray!).
This year, we are going to Boise for Christmas, and I can't wait! I am so excited to get out of Rexburg for a few days and just relax. This will be our first trip in a long time that doesn't include us having to be somewhere. We are going just to enjoy time with family and friends at our own pace. It is going to be great!

Here is a picture of our Christmas tree. It is our first one ever and every time I look at it, it makes me so happy. I am planning on leaving it up as long as Jared will let me!
