New Milestone

So, today I went to my first midwife appointment and actually had a lot of fun. Partly because my mom went with me and also be we got to hear the baby's heart beat. Also I found out that now that I am entering the second trimester I can do more stuff like exercise and you know out around the house. Now if my body can just find the energy again. Also we are excited because in about five or six weeks we will be about have a 3-d ultra-sound picture done of our baby. Other than that all the other news is that I am officially starting to wear maternity clothes. Mostly because nothing fits! ARG! Oh, I have to say Eric is amazing he has gone clothes shopping with me more than once and seems to actually be forming an opinion of his own on women's clothing. In closing I have to tell you a cute story.
Eric is working at the Park with me this summer, well as of Saturday. This is in part because he was willing to do something that most young men would not be caught dead doing, making sloth dolls with little girls. Now the girls were pretty harsh about my husband's doll making skills. But I have to say the fact he was will to give it a major effort is more than enough. Considering he has never played with a doll let alone made one in his life. Well hope you are all doing well. Keep smiling.

An example of enduring love

Today my parents celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary and while it was hard for them to do much alone, they still found ways to express their love. I feel so grateful to have wonderful parents who have been through so much together and seem to love each other even more today. Growing up I always knew my parents loved each other. Partly because even when times looked their bleakest they were always right next to each other. I hope and pray that Eric and I can create that loving and enduring of a relationship. Again I am grateful for such a wonderful example of what eternal love really is all about. Happy Anniversary mom and dad!

Happy Birthday Eric!

So today is Eric's 28th birthday. For him it has been an experience, partly because he is freaking out that he will be 30 in two years. I tried to calm his fears to no avail. But I am so proud and grateful for him. We are back in Utah and loving it, challenges and all. I start work at the park next Saturday and will have some pictures up soon of the park and our cute little apartment. But for now I just has to say happy birthday Eric!
