Can I go back just to this last weekend on our anniversary and stay there? Forever maybe?

Every time I think I've wrapped my head around the idea of my all changing life I suddenly realize really quickly that I am dead wrong. My belly is growing by the day and the fact that I will have a little life to take care of in less than three weeks scares the hell out of me. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to have a baby but I am so scared. I still feel like a child myself most of the time. She will be so beautiful and I know the love of my life after I have her, but everything about giving labor and being a mom is super hard for me to grasp right now!

We had such a relaxing weekend up in park city for our anniversary! It was nice to just be there... We had nowhere that we needed to get to, no time crunch, and I spend the most money I have ever spent in my life on one meal at one time. Little did I know I booked the most expensive restaurant at the resort. Courtesy of them not posting their prices online... I should have known... but it sure was good :)

Our puppy is getting so big by the day! I can't believe it. He's been sick on and off but he seems to be getting better. Poor little guy.

Just a small update for now... i'll try to come back later :)

It has been SOO long since I've written and so much has happened. February is the last time and my life looks drastically different.

Seth and I bought our first home which at first was a hard adjustment for me but I'm loving it. It's the perfect size for us and I'm starting to get the hang of how to keep it clean :) Going from a 600 square foot apartment to a two story home is a big change in cleaning responsibilities. Not to mention the million fruit tree's we have in our yard. It's a little overwhelming at times. We have an apricot tree, cherry tree, plum tree, pear tree, two walnut tree, an apple tree, and grape vines. Talk about a lot of upkeep. Most of my summer has consisted of picking up fruit off the ground so it doesn't rot. It's definitely one of the most least fun activities I can say I take part in. We love our home and are growing into it quite nicely.

So, if we thought that buying a house wasn't enough of a heart attack, a week or two after we moved in, we got the surprising news that I was pregnant. Now, I was hysterical when I found out. Barely 7 months after we had gotten married and bought our home we had that overwhelming news dropped on us. This definitely was not the way we pictured things. However, god has surely taken care of us. The Monday after we found out my husband received a job promotion and ever since then we have been working our butts off to pay stuff off. During this crazy period we bought our first puppy Ozzy! He sure is a cutie but kind of a crazy psycho. He's so full of energy and life and it's been much harder to deal with him than I thought. I still love him every day though and he's getting SO BIG!!

So, this brings me to my current day..... I am 6 months pregnant and it's been a rocky road. I have been sick or in pain for most of my pregnancy but I'm just starting to feel better. We are having a precious baby girl that we will name Olivia Mikele Simmons. I bought my first outfits for her today and it was such a joyous feeling. She is moving around like a worm in my stomach and I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that one, my body is making a baby, and two, that I am actually going to deliver and have a child. This is the scariest thing in my opinion that can ever happen to a person. I worry everyday about my little girl and it is so weird to think of myself as a mommy. I am however, so ecstatic for it. She will be beautiful :) More to come later... Hopefully!!!

Wow, it's been such a long time since I've written anything. pretty much 3 months. I go through times where I love blogging/writing and then other times I just never can find anything to say. Which is weird because my life changes drastically from day to day. A recap on the last little while....

Being married is one of the greatest but most challenging things that a person will ever do. My body has been through the ringer since my wedding in Sept.
November and December I was plagued with sickness. It seems like every time I kicked a sickness there was another one waiting right behind it in line. It was frustrating not only for me but my husband and most definitely my wallet.
January has been the first month that I have really felt pretty normal. My sleeping pattern, which was badly disrupted when I got married is finally starting to become normal again. I only usually get up now one time during the night which is pretty normal for me. Everything is going pretty well!

Seth and I are currently trying to implement a big change in our life. We've been doing some weight loss/gain challenges. Needless to say, compared to him I have not been successful. It's pretty frustrating. I have been working my ass off at the gym, eating well, and still have not lost a single lb. The good thing is that my body (I think anyways) is a tad toner. We are going to be in a wedding on May 25 and I just really would like to not be self conscious walking down the isle again haha.

School is so awesome! I am currently taking Biology and Geography and I feel so glad to be back in school. This sounds so nerdy but I forgot how much I LOVE learning. Who would have thought that Kirsty would love BIOLOGY?? But I do. It's so interesting :) Geography is interesting too I just am liking biology much more.

For not writing I didn't have very much to say but maybe as I start to write again things will come more smooth. Until next time....
