Fix it man!

I'll apologize now this is kind of a long post.. but i want to remember it.


When we got married my parents gave us their old front load washer since they were planning on buying a new one and nicks grandparents had the same set and gave us their washer and dryer also since my parents dryer wasn't electric and theirs was, we held onto the washer incase we ever needed it for parts. Anyways, my parents washer was working great until about a month ago me and nick were doing laundry and couldnt figure out what was wrong with our washer.. the water would run and than it would just shut off so we pushed start again and left it and didnt think anything of it. We were watching a movie when i heard water rushing out of the washer and onto the floor..let me add that we live on the upper floor of our apartment so the first thing that goes through my head is that we were going to flood the people below us, Nick was handing me all the towels we had and it still wasnt soaking up all the water, so we threw all of our laundry on top of it to soak up as much as we could... the washer door was still shut but it was not locked which was the reason for the water coming out in the first place, it had built up so much pressure because the water never turned off, so i went and grabbed the biggest pan we had and tried to slowly empty out the water until it was gone. We had laundry spread all over the apartment and we rang water out of our clothes all night it was a mess! We thought we were going to have to buy a new washer but Nick decided to take a look at it and got on google to search for similar stories and he found out it was the pressure switch.. I literally married a fix it man we were able to get the part from the other washer we had and fix it i was so happy we didnt have to buy a new one... I'm crossing my fingers it holds on for a couple more years!

On his phone googling the problem









Its Fixed!! Google is always the answer ha!





12 Weeks-

16 Weeks-





SUPRISE!

Okay so since i pretty much suck at this blogging thing i have a lot to catch up on.... me and nick have just been enjoying the married life and keeping busy with work, but one announcement i haven't made to the Internet world yet is......



Yes the answer to your question is that is a baby, we were pretty shocked at first but we are really excited and cant wait to meet the little boog! We found out a little before Halloween so i wore this shirt when we told the family! They were just as shocked as us because we always said we weren't having kids for 5 or more years, but turns out the boog had a different plan for us and we are looking forward to meeting him/her, my due date is June 8, 2012 so we get to find out what we are having the end of January. Nick tells me all the time that he knows its a boy and i think he's right i keep having weird dreams about having a boy and catch myself calling the babe a he, we will be excited either way!



It took me 4 pregnancy tests to really believe that there was a little bean growing inside me. And about two weeks later i got hit with morning sickness and that made it even more real. I wasn't able to keep anything down, and nothing sounded good. I'm 15 weeks and so far the morning sickness hasn't really faded.. I'll think I'm finally over it and than i lose my dinner, so I'm crossing my fingers that i will catch a break soon. I cant complain though my poor sister Candace was hooked to IVs during most of her pregnancy so I'm thankful i haven't had to go through that!

West Yellowstone 9/2/2011

A couple weeks ago me and nick went up to Island Park with my Brother and his wife we stayed at Nicks grandpas cabin on Friday and than woke up Saturday and went to West Yellowstone.
Nick had this drink on the way up and it was probably the sickest drink i have ever had.. it was like carbonated water YUCK!
Shane, Mckenzie and their little boy Creed
Creed was eating his ice cream and than posing for the camera with a big grin saying "Cheeeeese" He is so cute!

Blogging?

I have been pondering starting a blog for a little while and i have decided that since I'm the biggest slacker in the world and don't keep a journal, i should at least start blogging to remember all of the crazy adventures me and nick have had and will have so we will see how long this lasts... i hope its not like one of those times where you say your going to start working out/eating better and than a week later you find yourself laying in bed watching king of queens and eating nearly every piece of chocolate you have in the house instead...(yes i have done that)
