We are having a baby boy!

Hello again after what seems like years of not posting. There are so many things happening in our little family I just needed to find the time to share them. We are pregnant and we are having a boy. At the first ultrasound they gave us the date of October 16th, that didn’t work with our dates of how far along we are so today when I talked to my doctor he said to go off the date of my last period, and the revised due date is October 21st. I know anything could happen, but I am glad that the due date is not on my birthday anymore; I just believe that everyone deserves their own special day. I can feel the baby kick already and it is so cute it makes me smile every time, it actually took me awhile to recognize them as kicks because they are so slight and gentle and feel like a little bubble, it is hard to even describe. Tyson is able to feel the baby too and he is so happy and both of us are really excited for this little miracle growing inside my belly. Here are pictures from the last ultrasound, he looks so cute and he has a big belly. Also a picture of me pregnant I am not really showing yet, at the time of the picture I was 18 weeks and three days. I will try to be better at posting, so this way all of you can be part of this important event.

Big News

I know I haven’t posted anything in what seems to be forever; however school, working at DHL, and at the theater occasionally keeps me plenty busy. I love school it is going really well and I am learning so much. I always wanted to go to school, and I feel so blessed to be in college. Now for the big news….. No, we are not pregnant yet. We are still trying and we hope that will happen for us, but when it does you won’t find out from the blog. TYSON IS DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!! It seems like its been so long since he started, but these last four years have gone by fast, and we are glad to be done with this portion of his schooling. He finished with a 3.63 GPA (I know he’s a smarty pants) working more than full time for most of the time. I’m really proud of my cutie, and am thankful for all the sacrifices he did for our little family. Now I hope he can find a good job.

Update

My sister’s visit
My sister came all the way from California to visit me about a month ago (Tyson just want it to make me happy and bought a ticket for her). We had so much fun just hanging out and being with each other, it’s too bad that her visit was so short, but it made me so happy.

The phantom of the Opera
Last week some of my sisters-in-laws and some friends went to Spokane to watch the Broadway play The phantom of the Opera, and it was amazing, I have never seen anything like it before and I loved it. I wish we could do things like these more often. Thanks girls for inviting me.

Big news…….It is school time

I will be going to school, starting September 22!!!!!!!!I know I can’t believe it too. I took the Compass test about a month and a half ago. I think I did pretty good actually, my reading was at college level, my writing was just the class below college level/ English 101 and I didn’t do very good on math, but I expected that and I am planning to work on it and retake this part of the test. I will be taking just 1 class this quarter for a few reasons: first- I am pretty scared and I want to see how I will do at all that; it is pretty new to me, second- I work full time and then Tyson has so much school debt so whatever schooling I do will be paid out of pocket. So all I can say is that I am really excited and really scared not exactly sure which is more, but that is certainly something I have wanted to attempt for a while, and I know it is worth it. So will see how it goes I will keep you posted, and keep your fingers crossed for me.

Happy Birthday to My Cutie

Yesterday it was Tyson’s birthday, he turned the big 26, and I think he had a pretty good time. I had a surprise appointment for a massage on Saturday night, and we had small family gathering at Libbie’s house on Sunday. He also got some calls from Bulgaria from my parents, and a call from Spain from my cousin, aunt and uncle (pretty popular guy ah?).He is one of those people that don’t like birthdays, but I think he really liked this one though.
Happy Birthday my Cutie I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Family Reunion

Last weekend was the Reil family reunion, and we had a blast. It was at a church camp, Camp “Zarahemla”. We loved everything about it the big lodge, sleeping on bunk beds with the rest of the family, the lake and all the activities, the food (good job to all of the girls) and all the time we got to spend with the family. There were so many things I did for the first time; the whole camping experience, jumping off a rope into the lake, and shouting a gun-that was awesome. Some of the other things we did were canoeing, crafts, puzzles, playing all kind of games, and having really a fun talent show.

Obsessed

I am reading the Twilight series right now and I am obsessed with them. The first time I heard about them was reading a post on Libbie’s blog, but she mention it was about vampires so that didn’t sound very interesting to me. And then everybody was talking about them (sometime I look in other people’s blogs, they are everywhere), so I decided to give them I try and they are really, really good. I borrowed the first one from Gracie and the day I finish it I bought the second one. I know I am little behind but I am so excited for the rest of them and the movie. For anybody out there that hasn’t read them yet, I recommend them.
