It's a baby girl!

So on July 22nd was when I found out that the little precious one that has been moving a TON inside of me (Since week 17) is a girl! yay! My parents , cody , jody and jonathan were
all at the ultrasound when we found out that she was a girl. My dad was so touched, he said it really hit him that he was going to be a granddad when he saw the ultra sound. The funny part was before we found out that she was a girl. We all made bets on whether it would be a boy or girl. I was so sure that it was a boy. Everyone else beside jonathan and jody bet it was a boy too. So I was amazed when I found out that it was a girl! haha I guess I don't quite have the mother intuition yet :P

But a girl makes a perfect head of the family! So I'm glad she is the first! Just like me :D The oldest girl!

Blog question

Does anyone know how to delete the undefined undefined message under each of my heading? It's driving me crazy... ! Thanks

One of the many projects I worked on :D

So this summer I had the lucky dilemma to do whatever I want with my free time! Currently I am crocheting a baby blanket, making a recipe book of favorite recipes from my food network magazines, working on an online scrapbook of this year thus far, made a video of our europe trip, made a flower clip, and have actually read about five books ! I have never really enjoyed reading, so this is a huge success for me! I really love reading now! If I find the right books :D I have also been able to attend an intense 40 hour training course about domestic violence and sexual abuse. Couldn't really sleep for a while but it was surely a learning and eye opening experience and now I'm qualified to work and volunteer at all domestic violence shelters. Here is my flower clip that I made... this is one of jonathan's old t-shirts.

My new hobby!

yep :D I'm totally pregant!

This past week I got to go to my second doctor's appointment and I saw the baby move inside of me.. I had this overwhelming feeling of joy that was so indescribable. It was at that moment when it really hit me that I have been blessed to raise a child of God. I can't believe how, by not doing anything, an amazing complicated development could possible take it's own course inside of me. I am still living daily in awe thinking about it. I'm so excited to be a mom, even if it meant putting some other dreams aside and never sleeping as good as I do now :). The beginning of this journey has already made all those other dreams seem so much less important and exciting.

The lord's roles that he has set for men and women are divine, where it is a unique ingenious design that will bring us the greatest joy.

EUROPE 2010!

We had the amazing opportunity to travel to Italy, Greece, Turkey and Egypt via a cruise. For me it was really a glimpse into our past. At every destination, I was constantly amazed at the ability that god has given us here on earth to create in so many ways. I am so grateful that we are all blessed with that gift. I feel it's one of the many reasons why life is so beautiful.

Life in the day of me

I always hated those English assignments when you had to share a typical day of yours to the world. I would just type one word over and over again because I didn't know where to start. To me, my day was never typical. The assignment should be life in the ideal day of me. In which today could have been a day I would have written about.
Having finished my internship and completing school. I woke up with a day that was without obligations, stress free. So what did I do? I sat staring at a water fountain eating my favorite breakfast meal ( cereal with sliced bananas) as the blue sky hung above me. After which, I tackled my Chinese book of Mormon that has been on my to do list for way too long. Then I wondered around the house determined to play the piano and relive all those memories at my piano teacher's house. I remember the different smells of her house. Mostly smells of, I would imagine, India. I remember how she allowed me to play as poorly as I did just so I can continue to enjoy playing the piano. She taught me to love music. I wonder where she is now, and if she knew the continued impact she has made in my life. My mind wondered continuously back to the sweet moments of life.

A day that allows me to have moments where I can enjoy, reflect and grow is one successful and happy day!
