This is very new to me, but everyone and their dog has a blog (that rhymed...unintentional) so I figure I might as well join in. Plus this way I can eventually print it out and make a book of our family. Anyway I'm probably going to be the only one reading this, but oh well. It's like a journal...ONLINE!

Our story begins in Malta, Idaho at Raft River High School. Me and Lance were really good friends. We went on a lot of adventures, helped each other with stupid high school things, and had secret crushes on each other. Eventually he graduated, then I graduated and we lost track of each other. Well I was working at Valley Wide in Rupert and went to Wal-mart after work to get something for my mom and there he stood. In his bearded glory. Lance. Of course I yelled out his name. It was an amazing reunion. I got his number and we started hanging out. About a month later, 01.13.2012, we ran off to Vegas and got married. No one thought it would last and everyone thought I was pregnant. I wasn't. Now look at us.

In April we found out that I was pregnant. Lance was psyched out of his freaking mind and I was just freaked out. When we found out we were having a boy, we were so excited. Lance yelled the phrase "SUCK IT" in the hospital after we were free from the ultrasound tech. Nice guy. Super weird.

December rolled around and I was waddling around. I FINALLY had Hyrum. I was 6 hours in labor and pushed for 30 min. Lance was so happy. I was so tired. Not to mention, I felt really weird. Epidural made me numb and loopy. Worth it.

01.15.2013 Me and Lance went through the Logan, Ut temple, and got sealed for all time and eternity to Hyrum and our future children. It was an amazing day. The best day in both of our lives.

Now it's July and we're living in Logan for Lance to go to school. He's going into wildlife science to be a fish and game officer. Right now he's working in concrete construction for a really good guy who treats him like more than just a peon. Hyrum is crawling everywhere, has 5 teeth, and loves his puppies and his ball. He's starting to try to stand on his own. He's babbling so much and love love love corn and squash and sweet potatoes. and his cereal puffs. I am looking for a job that i can take him with me and I might have found one. I would be a nanny for 2 little boys. I really hope it works out for me. I'm glad I married Lance. I am happier on my worst day now than I was on my best day when I wasn't with him. He's my better half and perfect for me, and we have the funniest little kid in the world.
