All I Want For Christmas. . . .

Our Christmas list this year is a little different than most- -

you won't find anything on it that can be bought at Walmart, Best Buy, the closest mall or even the Internet. The one thing that is on our Christmas list in big bold letters that has remained on the list, and every other list for that matter, for the last few years is one of those things that Santa cannot make at his toy shop.

With the help of a very intelligent & wonderful fertility specialist and a HUGE blessing from our Heavenly Father, Bryce and I will have the merriest Christmas of all!

That's right! We're PREGNANT!

And we've never been so excited!!! We feel so blessed!!

* * *

I'm 10 weeks now and just had my 2nd ultrasound today. I heard the most amazing sound- - It was my beautiful little baby's heart beat going 169 beats/minute! And it was already waving at mom & dad.:) So cute! It still seems so surreal!

Dr.Whitten(fertility specialist) says the baby looks/sounds healthy and released me from his care over to my obstetrician.

Words cannot express how thankful, excited & blessed we feel!

S-N-O-W

I know everyone else in the Western United States is getting dumped with snow this week but it really is a rare occasion that we get snow in Lovelock. I was actually really excited to see it snowing!! I just said to Bryce the other day "I wonder if we're going to get any snow in Lovelock this winter?" And sure enough two days later I was snuggled up on the couch on a Sunday afternoon watching Christmas movies "with" my snoring husband when I look out the window and see SNOW! It was a perfect "Christmas season moment".:) Boy has it been COLD though! Ok so not as cold as lets say......Omaha but we've turned into wimps since being away for the 2nd winter and 6 degrees is cold!!!!

It was snowing again when I woke up this morning and it hasn't stopped yet!! I didn't think Nevada got this much snow! What's going on?? I know that Lovelock wasn't expecting this much snow either because I don't think we even have snow plows! I'm serious! The roads are horrible and they stay that way for days!

I'm really not complaining about the snow just yet. I'm enjoying it for now. But give it a couple weeks and I'll be wishing it was spring.:)

It's Your Birthday!!

I just wanted to wish my OLDer brother a Happy Birthday!!

I've lost track of how many years old he is.:) He still looks great though doesn't he?

So here's a Happy Birthday shout-out to my handsome, hardworking, perfectionist, funny, intelligent, and a great dad- - OLDer brother!

Love Ya!

New Moon x 2

Let me just start out by saying that I realize I may be a little obsessed and a little dorky.:)

- - -

I just happened to see New Moon two nights in a row. I went to the Thursday midnight showing with some friends and then I went Friday night with a couple co-workers. And it was just as good the second time around. Bryce was out of town so it was a good excuse to just hang out with the girls and drool over a 17 year old.:)
Let me clear something up- - I have always been an Edward fan while reading the books but when it comes to the movies I'm Team Jacob all the way. Robert Pattinson just doesn't really do anything for me and seriously. . . . . skinny & pale with a hairy chest or tan & smooth with an 8-pack?! That's a given!!

I thought the movie was awesome! The acting was 100% better and it followed the true story line much better than Twilight did. There were some funny lines in it that I wasn't expecting and the wolves were freakin' scary. I give it 5 stars!!

What did you think of the movie?

We LOVE visitors!!

. . . . . especially when they are as great as Mom & Dad Nielson!

They made the long 11 hour trip to Lovelock last Thursday and spent the whole weekend with us.

GOSH, it was so good to have them here!

On Saturday while my dad and Bryce went Chukar hunting my mom and I went on our semi-annual shopping trip in Reno!! It's usually a two or three day event but we managed to get nearly all of it done in one day. And YES.....we did stop to eat.....twice.;)

Once the shopping is done our favorite thing to do is come home & set-up all of our purchases on the bed and look at everything we got.:)

What can I say......we love to shop!!

It was so good to spend some time with my parents! Watching movies, eating out, eating in, shopping, hunting, laughing & playing Mexican train. . . . . . it was a great weekend!

Thanks MOM & DAD for coming to see us! We love you!
