Sooner than later

Well we found out yesterday that Derek didn't get into the MAcc at BYU. So now instead of two years before he's done it's not one year. Yeah totally stressed and a little freaked out cuz Derek wants to move to Virginia and I thought I had two years left here but now It's one.

Our trip!

So we have been in Virginia the past couple of days well about seven days to be exact. It's been lots of fun. We flew out last Friday our plane didn't get in until about 12:30am. Then we had to drive from Baltimore to Stephens city and that is about a hour and a half to two hours. Carter loved flying he did great. The next day we went to a family party at pappy's house and Carter got to see Derek's side of the family, he loved pappy. On Sunday we went to meet Carter's great great grandpa. The rest of the week has been pretty lazy we haven't done much. Today and Tomorrow are we are going to be doing apple blossom things. well that's all for now

One Year....

A year ago my mom died. It was one of the hardest days of my life, I miss her so much. I thought I would put up a couple of pictures in her memory. I love you mom.

Not much going on

Well Nothing new really I'm just bored so I thought I would write. We love our new car it has heat!!!! (our old car didn't have heat well the fan broke so we hadn't had heat for a while) next week is my dad's birthday we are going over for dinner for a BBQ and it is definitely going to be different this year, my mom used to make my dads favorite dinner every year which would happen to be homemade potatoes and corn and hamburger patties covered in gravy (yummy) but since my mom isn't here anymore jodi is doing a BBQ so many things have changed but guess I gotta get used to the changes. Well I'm gonna put up some of the family pictures we took.

BUSY CRAZY AND MORE BUSY

oh boy where to start. Guess I'll start with my wonderful baby boy. He is 7 MONTHS I can't believe it he is growing to dang fast I don't know what to do with myself. He is crawling every where and has discovered the kitchen and now I can't keep him out of it. He has also learned how do open the bottom drawers can you say what a MESS. He is pulling himself up on to everything, I'm thinking he might be an early walker. Guess we'll see. He can stand by himself for about 10 seconds.

Derek's family was here last week to send brad off on his mission. It was an adventure to have four more people in our apartment but is was fun to catch up and spend time with his family. His youngest brother Cory was a crack up EVERYWHERE we went he was checking at the girls. boys will be boys haha. This past Saturday we went to an old family friends house for some lunch and games. When we got there some of Jodi's kids where there which we should have expected but didn't it was awkward at first as it always is but by the end I think it went pretty well. It's to the new and strange and we don't really know how to talk to each other so we just ignore each other. Hopefully things get better soon, I hate the awkward family gatherings. Well now for the big news we got a new car. It's kinda a long story but I'll try to make it short. So Derek took our car to get the inspection test and well we failed the the guy told Derek that it would cost us about $600 to fix it...CRAZY. Well we have already put about $500 into and the $600 is just the stuff to get it to pass inspections but there's some other things wrong which would cost more money. So we were looking all our options and at decided to see what is would cost us to lease a new car, so we spent about three hours at the honda dealership and left with a new car. Now we are trying to sell our old car. Hopefully someone will buy it. This week Derek has lots of test so wish him luck...

21 and more

So yesterday was my 21st birthday. How time flies. I had so much fun. To start everything off, Derek surprised me with a little get away. Friday afternoon he came home and told me to get ready cuz we were going out to dinner. He didn't tell me where but I played along, So I got ready and we left well he went to andrew and aftons and dropped carter off and he told me they wernoe babysitting. Now I was Really starting to wonder what was going on. We start driving and Derek starts going up the canyon and I was thinking what the heck is up here. Eventually he pulls in the snow covered driveway and lets me in on the secret. We were staying over night in the cute little cabin and that andrew and afton would be watching carter over night. I first I had a little panic attack because this would be my first night away from carter but I settled down. Derek had packed our bag and went to the store and got all this food without me even knowing. Well this cabin had heated floors and a log fireplace so we came home smelling like a campfire. It also had a hot tub that was surrounding my snow and had a little creek right next to it. It was so relaxing, I loved it. Then yesterday we went out to dinner with the friends and played clue after. It was so much fun. It seems like I'm going to have a super long birthday because on saturday we are going to my dads for a combined birthday party for me and my oldest brother. I think some of Jodi's kids might come I hope it's not awkward I don't think they like us very much. (Jodi is my dads wife) Then on sunday we are doing and extended family party for me and my little cousin. So lots of parties woo hoo!!! Other than birthdays not much is going on. Carter is crawling like crazy he is into EVERYTHING!!! He is also starting to pull him self up on anything and everything so he has a couple bumps on his head from falling. He is a little pig all he wants to do it eat and eat and eat. His two bottom teeth are all the way in and I think he might be getting more soon. Derek's family is getting here on saturday and Brad is going into the MTC on March 3. We are very excited to see them.

LA DI DA

Okay so I really can't think of titles that well, yeah I know not very creative. Well not much going on lately. Carter is getting two teeth at ONCE, he is super grumpy and isn't sleeping well. It's been some long days..yawn. He is almost crawling it is so cute he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. I can't wait till he is crawling he really wants to be mobile. He is going to be six months this saturday I can't believe it. Derek is still busy with school as always. Lots of family drama this week, but we are dealing, well as best we can. I am starting to get bored at home I can't wait till summer then I can go for walks and enjoy the nice warm sunshine..I want winter to be over. Well not much on my mind so see ya......
