Update on Us

First of all, thanks to everyone for the well wishes and congratulations on our last post! We are very excited, even if it was a total surprise! :) We had planned on waiting until Steven graduated to start a family, but obviously the Lord had something different planned! Funny story-we hadn't really talked about it too much, but right after we moved to Cheyenne in May we starting talking about how this time next year we'd like to be getting ready to start a family. Turns out I was already pregnant :) Anyway, for those people who have asked, I'm just about 12 weeks along. I've only had a few days that I've been a little sick, but nothing like what I've heard from what others have experienced during the first trimester. I've had more headaches than anything and have been super tired. Works seems to be kicking my butt lately, but I love my coworkers for their willingness to help me out when they can. I got to hear baby's heartbeat on Friday, which was amazing and made it seem more real to me! Steven was bummed he wasn't able to be there because he's in Basin on rotation right now. (FYI, I'm OVER rotations.) We finally told our families our news on the 4th. It was super hard to keep it from them for that long, but it was worth it to get to tell them all in person. Steven's parents are super excited as it is there first grandchild, and mine are equally excited for a new grandchild! Needless to say, I'm pretty sure our child won't be missing out on any spoiling by any means.

Nothing else overly exciting is going on with us right now. Like I said, Steven has been up north all month and will be in Scottsbluff, NE next month. We enjoy our weekends together and can't wait until he's in Cheyenne for a few consecutive months. This week is Frontier Days here in town. I'd love to say we're all over it and going to the concerts and rodeo, but with Steven being gone all week the last thing we want to do on the weekends is be around thousands of other people! Yesterday we went to Laramie to see my brother Jordan who was there coaching Legion baseball. We live about 5 minutes from I-25, but it took us a good 20 to get on it. It usually takes me 3 minutes to get to work, but Friday it took a good 10. I'm not one for big crowds and traffic and was rather annoyed about it. I think I'll ride my bike tomorrow. Last night when we got back we had a picnic at the park (one FAR away from Frontier Park) and then went to the batting cages. It was a lot of fun and we got some good pictures with the beautiful sunset that we had here last night. When we got back to our apartment, we could hear the King of Country George Strait himself singing away up at the Park. And we didn't even have to pay for tickets :)

So that's what we've been up to. I only have 2 days of work this week because of all the Frontier Days mayhem, so I'm heading to Lovell on Wednesday for a few extra days with the Hubs. Have a wonderful week!
