Telling Zach our big news!

JUNE 13---

It was early in the morning when I drove Zach to the train station to head off to school when I felt a little different then usual. I had been extremely tired the last couple days and made the decision to see if I was possibly pregnant. After several positive tests I took that morning, I was in such shock! Happy tears ran down my face, I thought of how and when to tell Zach, what about the new job I was going to start, if we could afford another person to care for...all the emotions came over me, but most of all I was so excited!! The next day I was taking pictures of my brother and sister-in-law for their own baby announcement. Keeping my secret was so difficult! On the way home from provo canyon I asked them if I could tell them something, then I said the happy words, "I'm pregnant!" They were so excited and asked if Zach knew, they said I had to tell him asap. So we thought up an idea and went with it. When we arrived back at my place Zach was home, I grabbed my camera and a chalkboard and asked him if we could let Mary practice a few poses on us. Of course he was oblivious and said yes...he's always patient when I ask him to be my model, so he was used to it. SO we headed out to a green grassy area of our apartment complex and just took some "random" shots for Mary to "practice" He had no idea what was to come....and then finally he saw the sign and his reaction was priceless.

(Some of these are blurry, but I'm so happy for the memory of this moment!)

And yes it was it SHOULD be "you're" but I was so caught up in the moment!

This sweet guy cried like a baby...

He kept asking me, "are you serious?!" and then he'd laugh and say, "oh my gosh!!!"

 Due date: February 16, 2016

Zach's hopes and bet for our due date is February 29, 2016 (it's leap year)

Our Exciting News!

My sister-in-law Mary did our announcement shoot yesterday!! Finally at 15 weeks we've decided to tell the world of our exciting news! We can't wait to meet this little one of ours!

Boxing

Mom and I hit it hard at Title this past weekend! They just took off this morning to head back to California. For some odd reason it's been colder and snowy for the past few days. All winter long we had about two weeks of snow and then nothing for over a month, and now it decides to come. But even with that we didn't have any excuses to not hit the gym. I love my mom and all the help she has been for the last two weeks!

Valentine's Day Weekend

This years Valentine's Day was low key, just like us. My parents got into town on friday, while dad goes to work during the week mom will be hanging out at the house with us. Their visit is for two weeks, and we just got started. Yesterday morning I worked at my new job, Title Boxing Club which I love! Mom, Lauren, and Zach came in and took a class with two awesome instructors and got the crap beat out of them. When we got home, Zach gave me a dozen roses, and I made him another pillow this year. He was going to make me a surprise dinner, but we are on a strict "diet" that we can not cheat on for anything. So we will postpone the dinner part for a few more weeks. But we did go out to the movies and saw American Sniper, which was so good! We also went to see Hector play two  soccer games, his team won both! We had a nice little stay in the rest of the evening.

Peace out Five Guys

Four years of my time and energy and skills working at Five Guys to make a living. I started in Rancho March of 2011 when they had their grand opening. Soon after I transferred to Norco to help open another store as a shift lead. Not long after I went back to the Rancho store and stayed there for a bit longer. Zach joined the crew when we started dating, he was so cute in his uniform, always having his hat on with a little side slant. We got engaged and three months later we were married and done with Five Guys. Until....I moved to Utah and worked at two different locations for two years. I was blessed with working for the best boss ever, and I have met such great people, and not so great people. Even during the time in American Fork Lauren joined the crew for about a month...very short lived but it was so much fun to work together! Overall, quitting has been such a great relief and a way for me to move forward in my life. It was a long time coming for me to end the job at Five Guys, but to say it's finally over feels so so so good!! I love my new job at Title Boxing, and I still love working at the Boys and Girls Club. My photography is still happening and I look forward to spending more time on that as well.

I will miss these great great people!! So many fun times!

Five Guys took over a lot of my time, many hours flipping burgers and shaking fries...and I won't miss that for a second!!

When I let my family know of the news that I put in my two weeks, Lauren and Hector brought home these two cookies and some sparkling cider to celebrate! They have been the best support group through it all...

Life is looking good. 

New Year's Eve!!!

NEW YEARS EVE PARTY! We celebrate bringing in the new year along with our two year proposal anniversary! This year on New Years Eve Hector and Lauren invited friends over for dinner and games. We played Cards Against Humanity and Hector made us enchiladas. It was a fun night, our living room was filled up with many people and we all watched the countdown at midnight. We also lit off some fireworks in the front yard...that was pretty cool. Cheers to a NEW YEAR!
