3 Years and going strong!

So today marks Jon and I's official 3 year of marriage!! I must admit with a little shame that Jon knew the date and I had it wrong... I thought the 19th was our wedding day, but alas, it is the 17th. 3 years was just so long ago I couldn't remember. Today we don't know what we are doing to celebrate, all our plans depend on when Jon gets home from work. But to celebrate today on our blog I have some new pictures to post. Our dear friend Bri does photography on the side, and wanted to try out some of her new equipment on us. She was really great, and took two not so photogenic people and our crazy dog and gave us some really cute pictures! If you or anyone you know is in Knoxville TN and needs a photographer look her up.

Here is a prime example of us not being so photogenic..... when Jon saw this one the first time he laughed and said "we dont look so good in pictures do we?!"

Here is an example of our not so photogenic dog... his freakishly long tongue is sticking all the way out in almost all the pictures we got! lol

Here is a good shot that shows just how round I am getting. Sadly, I am not one of those women who just have a beach ball up their shirt prego look, I am getting round everywhere!

This is one of my favorites, along with the one at the top of our blog.

Thanks again Bri for using us as your models! It was fun, and it is nice to have professional shots of our little family!

And happy ann. Jon! Thanks for all the good times, and the wonderful future I have to look forward to. You make every day worth living.

Wedding Bliss

So my beautiful friend Jill got married this past weekend, and I was lucky enough to make the trip to Ohio to be there. As a bonus, I got to spend time with my family too! I just LOVE Ohio! I was able to make it to the temple for Jill's endowments and also for the sealing. I have a few pictures from the happy event. I was so excited to see lots of my old and dear friends. Jill was beautiful and perfect.

The married girls with our Jill at the temple-- trying to be serious, but below our true colors come out!

Jill and I (and Adrienne) at the reception. Jill looks so great!

The group from stake dances growing up. We have so many great memories together. Just a few people are missing, but overall we got most of us to Ohio at the same time!

Overall, the week was so much fun. From seeing my family, working on baby stuff, hanging by Allie's pool with the girls, and being there for all of Jill's big moments, I was exhausted and elated all at the same time. I love my friends and family so much!

Half Way There!!

Today marks a HUGE milestone in my pregnancy... 20 WEEKS!!! I realized yesterday that I was almost half done, a part of me wanted to cheer, and the other part cry! Cheer because I am half way done with being pregnant, and cry because I still have half to go! I feel like I've been pregnant forever! Hopefully this second half will feel much faster, I'm much less sick than I was in the beginning.... so that will possibly help. I am getting a baby bump, so that is exciting! I will post a picture of that soon, right now I just woke up and no one needs to see what that looks like!

Oh and anyone out there who is pregnant or will be shopping maternity clothes anytime soon I would suggest going to Khols. Jon and I went there yesterday because we had a coupon, but found their maternity section had a clearance rack. There wasn't lots to choose from, but I got a pair of pants that were originally $40 for $8! I was pretty happy! It's worth checking out.

So I hope everyone has a very happy August, since it kinda marks the end of summer. I know I plan on enjoying my August to the fullest! I will get to see one of my best friends married, and have my 3 year ann. with my amazing husband! And let's not forget that August gets me closer and closer to December!
