OUR NEW CAR! :)




We are so excited- we got a new car! It's a 2007 Nissan Murano. We LOVE it.... I hope that's not bad haha. Since I got my job a year ago.. we started to save money to buy Dallas a truck for graduation. Well.. we got pregnant along the way and so we got thinking that it is more practical to buy an SUV, they are a lot safer than my car and since I'll be driving with the baby more often, my sweet hubby decided to sacrifice his truck.  We found an awesome deal on this Murano, the internet sells guy messed up and posted it for the wrong price (~$5K less than they were selling it for) but they said they would honor the price...we had sold the tiburon unexpectedly (we put it on craigslist thinking that it would take a few weeks to sell and it sold in a few days, so as a side note, if you need to sell anything, craigslist is awesome) and then with the money we had saved we put down a good down payment on it. One of the greatest things we love about it is that it's an AWD and since we are going back to Utah, we felt like that was a must have. Once we bought it, Dallas begged me to get the "baby on board" sticker, he was really cute and excited about it. Long story short, we are really grateful to now have a car that we feel like we can trust our new baby in and we're hoping it will be a great car for a very long time.

It's a BOY!

We were so excited when we went to do the sonogram. It's so cool to think that there's a little baby inside my belly. I finally felt the baby move like two weeks ago and it's awesome. The nurse said that the baby was very good size, he is a little over a pound now, so he is growing really good and according to the schedule. It was very easy to tell his gender! She showed us on the screen and asked us.. "So what do you think you're having?" It was SO obvious. I turned around to look at Dallas' face and he was so excited. He wanted a boy so bad. He just wanted to make sure that he had his boy. Before we found out it was a boy he kept making comments that we were not going to stop having kids until we get a boy. Yeah right.. like he is the one going through pregnancy! haha It was so fun to look at him move. We got a perfect picture of his arm and hand, it looked like he was waving. We also got a picture of his foot. It was very exciting to see our baby! Now I can't wait until he is here!
Here is a picture of our baby, sorry is so blurry, we took with our camera, I was too lazy to scan it. Sorry..
Here is me at 21 weeks which is exactly today. I know I'm not showing very much but the midwife said that the baby is definitely growing and everything is good. I am just waiting for my belly to pop out from one day to another. 

My Valentine

For Valentine's Day my sweet husband prepared a very romantic dinner. When I got home from work he had the apartment full of candles and he had a 3 course fondue meal ready! It was so cute and romantic! He put a lot of work into it. We started with the cheese fondue. It was sooo good. Then we continued with the meat part. He marinated chicken and beef and cut some vegetables so we could fry them. He also prepared the sauces were you can dip your meat after is cooked. The last part was the chocolate fondue. Of course we were so full by then but I couldn't say no! We dipped strawberries, kiwi, pineapple and mango. Everything was so good. Since it takes so long to eat, he thought of everything and he surprised me with one of my favorite movies so we could watch it while we ate. I loved everything that he did and it was a really fun night. I have to say I wasn't as romantic and didn't do something cool like he did but I gave him a cool present that he loved =) that makes me feel a little better.
