LIfe

Life is flying by. I can't seem to keep up anymore. I have now been teaching fourth grade for six weeks and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I have so much fun with my students and love the people I work with. My belly is growing every single day. It is so fun to watch as our little guy gets bigger. Anthony and I are so excited to finally get to meet him in eight weeks. I am scared out of my mind at the same time, but I know I will be able to handle it. I can't wait to see what he looks like and to see his personality. I can already imagine what he will look like. I think he is going to be a mini Anthony and definitely couldn't be happier about that. Anthony is one amazingly good looking man and to have my little guy look just like would be the most perfect thing I could imagine. Other that work and getting ready for Chet to get here we have just been enjoying life and having fun in this new big step forward in our lives.

boy oh boy

Anthony and I are so excited for this next step in our lives. We found out two weeks ago that we are having a BOY!!!! We are so happy and feel so blessed to be able to have this little guy. We both have always wanted kids and have just been waiting until we felt like the time was right to become parents. Lucky for us, once we decided we wanted to start a family we found out a month and a half later that I was pregnant. We truly are so blessed and are so happy! This will be the first grandchild on Anthony's side and the first grandson on my side. I have 6 adorable nieces, but no nephews. Needless to say he is going to be sooooo spoiled. I am really starting to look pregnant now. I have felt huge for the last two months, but really no one could tell I was pregnant. butI am starting to really get a belly. I am getting use to my growing belly and am feeling great (no more sickness) and I absolutely LOVE being pregnant. It has been so fun and I am so grateful that I can enjoy being pregnant and not be sick the whole time like many other people I know. Anthony has been so cute about the whole thing and he just can't wait for him to get here. I watch him play with my nieces and take care of them and I can already see what an amazing dad he is going to be. I am so lucky to have Anthony in my life, he is such an amazing husband and will be the best dad ever. I can't even wait for our little man to get here!!!!

what's new

SInce it has been forever since i updated this thing i figured i would do a quick post. I just moved...again! to a cute place in PG, we love it. it is a lot smaller than our last place, but it fits us perfectly. It is a mess right now and everything is still in boxes, but we should get all settled in this week. I am still teaching and absolutely loving it! I couldn't love my job anymore than i do. I am so glad i chose elementary education because it fits me perfect. Anthony is working at a website place and is going to school so i don't get to see him as much as i would like, but it will be nice when he is finished with school and he is doing really good at his job and really enjoys it. other than that nothing too exciting is going on.

California

Anthony and I went to California to go to his uncle's wedding. It was a much needed vacation for the both of us and it was so nice to spend time with each other. The wedding was amazing, seriously the most perfect wedding i have seen in forever! It ended up not being so much of a vacation for us in the end, but we still had a great time together and it was so fun to see his family from California because we never get to see them. His family is so awesome and I wish we would have been able to spend more time with them. We got back from California last Tuesday, we had to drive all night long because we both had to work on tues morning and a bunch of stuff happened that made us not able to leave cali until like 10 at night so we had a 12 hour drive and were both supposed to be at work in the morning. Ya, no way were we going to make it. I was luckily able to get a sub to take my classes so i drove all night so anthony could sleep since he had to go straight to work when we got into town. It sucked to say the least, but after multiple energy drinks, books on tape and a lot of pit stops we made it.

Work is still going great, i LOVE my job its so crazy to get paid to do something you love. It was my niece Constance's birthday on Sat. she turned 1. i can't believe she is already a year old. She is walking already and has the cutest little personality. Jeremy and Sara (parents) had a Halloween birthday party for her with all of the fam and close friends. It was so fun and i love when we all get together. My family is so amazing and I love spending time with them and now that i don't work for my parents anymore i don't see them nearly as much as i use to. Anthony had to work though so he couldn't make it, but it was so fun to see everyone and see all of the fun costumes. My grandma Peterson I have to say had the best costume of all....she made a night stand out of cardboard and wore it around her neck, put a lamp shade over her head with eye holes cut out and had a sign that said "one night stand" haha what a hilarious costume, especially for a grandma to wear i loved it and am going to steal her idea one of these years. I have pictures of it that i haven't uploaded yet, but i will. She put so much detail into it and it turned out so perfect. Thats about everything that has been going on lately. Our lives aren't too exciting, but thats the way we like it, everything just seems to be falling perfectly into place for us and we are so thankful for everything we have. Here are some pics from California, I have some from Constance's b-day but haven't uploaded them yet so when i do i will post them too.
Starting out on our long drive.

On our way to the wedding

such a beautiful wedding

What's new

Well I have now been teaching for two and a half weeks. I LOVE it! really I have the best job i could ever imagine! I was so scared at first because I know how to set up a classroom because thats what i went to school for, so i know i could set up a class room and the curriculum for the year, but i got the p.e. specialist job at a brand new school and i really didn't know what i was suppose to do. I felt so lost, but I am getting the hang of things now. When i first found out i got the pe specialist job i was so excited because i love every sport and i absolutely love exercising and think it is very important, especially with kids getting so involved with technology games and don't really like to go outside and play anymore. So I was stoked to teach pe and really who doesn't love pe, so i already had that going for me. The school I got a job at is brand new and it is out in Saratoga Springs so it is also close to my home which is so nice(no commute) the school is not 100% finished and the gym and my office aren't done but i have been taking my classes outside since the weather is still nice and i love it and i have an empty classroom to use until everything gets finished. Really no words can even say how much i love my job. it is so fun and i love all of my students, kids are the best and are just so innocent and sweet and also so dang funny. I get to work with every grade too which is so good for me because I have never been able to decide on what grade i would really want to teach so this way i get to experience them all and then when i do get an actual classroom i will know what grade i really want to teach and i will know how to deal with the different age groups, that is if i ever want to not teach pe because so far i love it so much and can see myself doing this even when i have kids of my own because the schedule is so nice and a lot easier than an actual teachers schedule. This is the first time in my life i look forward to going to work everyday, it seems so weird and i can't believe i get paid to do what i do. i would totally do it for free because i love it so much! Anyway everything else in life is going good just being a wife and remodeling our town home which i am having a blast doing too. I feel like everything in my life the last two weeks just keeps getting better and i love it! Anthony is doing great just working and trying to get into classes to get his schooling done, hopefully he gets finished soon! I also am going to go back to school next semester so i can get my masters and i am so excited to go back. I already miss school which i never thought i would say, but i really love to learn so im excited to go back in january. and with my work schedule this is the perfect time for me to finish.

On a totally different note i just have to express my feelings about how annoying people or maybe i should say the internet can be. Okay i know that blogs, myspace facebook etc. are used to keep friends and everyone updated on what is going on in everyones lives, which i love, but i think there are so many people that really take it to the extreme. it drives me crazy! especially when people who really are not that close to anthony or i use our internet things and act like they know what is going on in our lives and then talk about it to other people, my closest friends don't even do that. It drives me crazy, but it drives anthony even more crazy. He wants me to delete my blog so bad because he hates when people that he runs into or people even text him and ask him or say something about personal things that are going on in our lives and most of the time he doesn't even know what they are talking about. yes, i know that by having these things like a blog i am putting my business out there for everyone to see, but i feel like i only put things up that i don't mind people knowing, but what really kills me is when people take what is say in the wrong way or take it in a way that i don't mean. Also why do people live by what happens on peoples facebooks. you know many things can be done or said on facebook that are NOT even done by the person that owns that facebook. I finally just deleted my facebook because for one, someone got my password and wrote some things on there and that has also happened to anthony a while back and said stupid things to people that he would NEVER say, but some people were so dumb they really thought it was him DUH people come on use your brains. I just got so tired of people texting anthony about things that are said on MY facebook. really if people want to know then why don't they ask me? NOT my husband. He thinks it is so annoying and pathetic. One day he came home and was just like PLEASE delete your blog....i have had so many people texting me and asking me about what is going on in your life haha well once i found out what they were asking him i knew it was from my facebook, not my blog. I just deleted it after that because i know that because i was annoyed about it. now i know if i write a status update it sends it to all of my friends, but at the same time things can be taken in so many ways and if you want to know whats up then ask me. obviously i don't care if you are curious or want to know what is going on or i wouldn't have posted the update in the first place. i will definitely admit that i am guilty and totally check out peoples internet sites....hello that is what they are for right? i just hate when people start spreading stuff to others when really they have no clue what is going on and they are just going off of some website. I love facebook, myspace and my blog! i love keeping in touch with everyone and keeping updated on other peoples lives thats why i have them. I know i will get another facebook eventually but i really don't even have time to get on anything and update anything anymore. with my old job i was on the computer all day everyday so i could keep up on them all the time. and plus if someone else writes something on my facebook i wouldn't even know because i don't get on there, so unless someone asks me then all of my friends are going to think that i wrote whatever was said. I just wish people would think about things and actually think hmmmm would they really write that and realize that it is not true. I hope no one is offended by this post because i guarantee that i am not even talking about any of you. There are just a few people i really am not friends with and neither is anthony, but we do know them from school or whatever and then we find out they are saying this or that because they saw our facebook or something haha i just think it is hilarious, but also annoying because so many people think so many things are going on in our lives that are not because of dumb internet sites. i just had to vent my frustrations about it because it is annoying. And if i am willing to put it on my site and you don't know what is going on why don't you just ask me if you really want to know i really won't care or i wouldn't have said anything in the first place and really don't text anthony about what i write, he gets SO annoyed and thinks internet crap is so annoying and then he tries to get me to delete my sites which annoys me haha. Anyway im done going off, but i just wanted to give a quick update on our lives, things are truly going so well for us right now. and i am truly counting my blessings because our lives are just falling right into place and we are both so happy and look forward to our futures. i hope everyone is doing good!

so behind

ok i haven't gotten around to putting up the pictures from wyoming yet, but i have been way too busy. I found out at the end of last week that i got a job at the new Sage Hills Elem. I am so excited!!!! I feel so lucky and blessed to have gotten a job last minute. i was planning on just subbing this year and hopefully find a teaching job next year, but things always seem to work out! I started working on monday and really sometimes feel like i have no idea what i am doing, but things are coming together and i am so excited to begin my career in teaching. When i finally get the pictures from my old work computer onto my new work computer i will post some pics of the rafting trip.
