Peace Out, Finals

Life as of late has been grand. Fall semester, which has probably been the toughest one yet, is finally a thing of the past and I couldn't be happier. 2 out of my 4 professors were understanding about my whole bed rest situation, so that's a plus. The other 2, could care less. You'd think since I was taking online classes, I wouldn't have to go to UVU to take exams... but I did... and I couldn't... and the professors didn't care... so, hello to failing anatomy and nutrition. In other news, I am still pregnant (!!!) and Christmas is only 6 days away... so life is good! It's just a stupid grade anyways, right? Nothing ice cream and cuddles can't fix.. at least that's what I keep telling myself ;)

1st Day of School

Another semester at UVU has begun and I couldn't be more excited. I am taking 5 classes (public speaking, anatomy, geology, nutrition, and marriage/family relationships) all online. This semester is definitely going to be busy, and loads of fun! To start the semester off on a good note, I treated myself to a waffle, whipped cream, and strawberries in bed... breakfast is always more fun cuddled up under the sheets. 

Chad and I hiked our favorite trail on Saturday, Battle Creek Falls. We barely missed the big thunderstorm!

I am 17 weeks pregnant today! I had my checkup this morning and heard baby DeVore's heartbeat (139 bpm). It seriously makes my day every time I get to hear it. Baby is growing right on track and I can't wait until I get to hold this baby in my arms! 

Car Show

Every year, my family has a tradition of going to the car show at the Auto Expo in Sandy. I always look forward to it in January. Chad and I went to my parents house at 11 am. We rode with them and Sean to the Cheesecake Factory at the Fashion Place mall in Murray to meet up with Ryan, Christine and their family, and Ryan's family.

I love the Cheesecake Factory. The restaurant is so pretty and the food is delicious. I was craving a big, juicy burger and fries. My burger was delightful, it definitely filled my craving. It was fun to be with everyone.

After lunch we headed to the car show. The car show is awesome because there are many different types of cars that you can get in and look at the cool features in the interior. I enjoyed many cars this year. Subaru, Audi and Mercedes had some really nice cars, but my all time favorite car this year was the 2013 mini cooper. I have never been a huge fan of mini coopers, but for some reason, I LOVE the 2013. It's so cute and it looks like a fun car to drive!

We stayed at the car show for a couple hours, then headed back to my parents house. My mom ordered pizza and we watched Karate Kid. I love spending time with the family, they really are the best!

Life has been kind of crazy since the new year. Chad and I are both enrolled at UVU so we are staying busy with our classes. We are both taking online classes, so it's nice to take the classes on our own schedule and pace. We are also in the process of looking for a home to buy. I feel like I have lived on the internet the past few days working with realtors and searching for homes. I am so excited for when we find the perfect home for us. It will be nice to move into our own place!
