Well it looks like the saying "life doesn't get any easier" is holding true. I am in the thick of school and Christy is only weeks away from having a baby. Just to vent a little, I have homework do in two days and I don't have a clue how to do it and I have homework in another class do the same day. I have a test every week up to Thanksgiving and then finals are after that. I cannot believe how busy I am, but what else did I expect? You know this isn't going to get any easier with a baby and I realize that. I have actually thought my whole life that I wouldn't let school get in the way of having a family, in fact I almost looked forward to this point of my life wondering what it will really be like. Well now I'm here and it's all that I hoped it would be. I have a wonderful wife, Christy, who takes care of me and loves me more than I could imagine and I really don't worry too much about the rest. Life just comes and you take what you get. We have been very blessed and have always had sufficient for our needs. The Lord truly does watch out for us and answer our prayers.
On a side note, this past weekend the youth in our ward went on a Treck up in the mountains. Two of them bore their testimonies in church and I couldn't help but notice how they found out the Saviour and God live by relying on them for comfort and strength to get through a hard time. That is one of the most self-motivating principles of the gospel that I know of. We can do hard things with the help of the Saviour. I am so gratefull for the experiences that Heavenly Father gives us and I know that we can come off conquerer if we rely on the Lord. He is the author and finisher of our faith.

Well I haven't written in a while but I thought I'd just talk about life a little. Zach's been super busy between work and school but he was really excited he got a good grade on his circuit's test! He's been doing a lot of field trips pretty much every Wed, Fri, and Sat. Which sometimes makes it hard to hang out but I usually meet him where ever he is going which is really nice that I can do that.
As for me well times just ticking along till our little girl is born. This morning I think I've been having some contractions which in someways worries me but I think they are just Braxon Hicks contractions. But I'm only 33 weeks Friday. I still have 7 more weeks. I guess I could have her at 37 weeks and that would be full term which means I would have 4 more weeks but honestly I think it would be best if she came around her due date. My baby shower isn't till I'm 37 weeks so I hope she doesn't come before that! Zach and I have been very blessed to have found so many things at yard sales and also to have family and friends who have given us things for our baby. Truly we only have a few more things we need that are essentials.

Our BABY GIRL!

I had my ultra sound at 28 weeks. I can't believe that I'm that far along. It's really hard to imagine but it's still great. Our baby is doing well. I had to take a picture of the actual pictures they gave me but none the less at least you get to kind of get to see. The top picture says "It's a GIRL!!" in the middle of it.
This next picture is a profile picture, so fun.
This last picture is her cute little face with her hand coming up on the side. She kept trying to hide or something during the ultra sound cause she wouldn't stop moving. By the way she is already 2 1/2 pounds, I can't believe it.

They're off!

One last picture with the braces dun dun dun...

My Birthday

So I realized that I didn't take very many pictures for my birthday but Zach did get me flowers even though he wasn't feeling very well that day. That's the day they called and told him he had Mono. He's been feeling pretty good since but we'll see how the future turns out.

Our anniversary

Sorry if you're getting board of my pictures but we'll Zach's at mutual and everyone says I never put pictures on here, we'll now here is a ton!

Zach bought me flowers for our anniversary. That was very sweet of him. But once again I'm about 5 1/2 months pregnant in this picture.

Yeah by the way he totally got me first. I didn't even see it coming and then there it was cake in my face...

But he got it back, lol...I guess it's a good memory.

Yes we cut the cake together, good memories.

This is on Aug 2nd so I'm about 24 weeks which is about 5 1/2 months pregnant. I still can't believe I've been married for one year!

Gotta love the temple. He's just proud we made it one year.

We stopped on the rim on our way back from Snowflake and ate lunch, it's beautiful.
