6 MORE WEEKS!!!!

So pretty much I have 6 more weeks with this big belly and then I'll have my little angel! I'm so excited. Yesterday Jennie (my sis-in-law) and Carol (my mother-in-law) threw me an awesome baby shower. It was really fun! I got to see lots of John's family which is always fun, AND my sister! She is my favorite and it had been too long since we saw each other. So it turned out really great and we had lots of fun and I got lots of cute stuff! Also my faces in these pics are a little weird so just ignore ;) 

Got a little bath for the baby:D

Cute swim suit!! Gotta bring her to Texas for some fun pool action!!

I love this blanket! I need to learn to be more crafty.

We are so lucky and excited. Thanks everyone for supporting us and making this step in our lives important to you as well :D

We're BACK!!!

Well, it's been FOREVER since we've updated this thing. First of all, we're pregnant! I know....it's been THAT long. I am due April 3rd. Only 7 more weeks. We are pretty pumped. We moved into a new place in August so we have a LOT more room. It was perfect timing too because we needed the extra space.

John's going to school and studying Psychology. He is interested in sports psychology so we will see where that leads. Just as long as he doesn't analyze everything I do, I think we'll be ok. He's a great student and gets really good grades. I'm glad he's the one that will be providing for the fam;) 

We went to Texas for Christmas to spend it with my family. It was a LOT of fun. My three older brothers all had babies this last year so we had fun playing with all the little munchkins! My family and friends also threw me a surprise baby shower! It was awesome to see old friends and get lots of cute stuff for Baby Girl. 

These are my "EFY Allen Girls" We haven't all been together in a LONG time:D

Little Ashlynn, Lincoln, and Natalie. The New Humphries additions. What little angels!!

My babies! Sisters, Elise and Carly. They are so BIG!

Christmas Morning. SO FUN!

Just hanging out on the couch:D Oh, and the couch was in the garage. Long story...

I think that's about all that's going on. We are excited to have our new little addition and start our family. I'll try my best to keep up to date now :D

P.S.

Aimee will be working on updating pictures and layout for this blog...stay tuned.

WOW! Ok....

It has been about three months since we have updated out blog! A lot has happened in three months! Ok, not THAT much has happened, but there are things that need to be reported. :) Let's talk about the most important thing first:

Two or so weeks ago Aimee and I took the long road trip down to Texas! :) It was a lot of fun being with her family and seeing how everyone is growing up (especially the little girls...and Dave) Aimee's little brother, Jake, got his mission call to the Provo, UT mission and had his farewell while we were there. It was good to hear him speak and bare testimony before heading off to the MTC. He is very excited to get out in the field and start working. He'll be a great missionary because he connects very well with people and doesn't try to be anyone but himself. GO JAKE! So, even though Jake's farewell was the highlight of the visit we did have a lot of fun doing other things such as hot tubbing and playing A LOT of Beatles Rock Band (I love that game!) We love Aimee's family and are trying to get down there once more this summer with our good friends, the Willmores'.

The Willmores': A couple of blogs ago (probably too many to bring up...oh well) on Sean and Summer's blog, Sean mentioned that when you are married you have to start "dating other married couples..." I originally thought that this was just a funny thing to say but now that I am married I have come to realize that it is totally true! For the past couple of months Aimee and I have been "dating" Chalyse and Ryan Willmore. HAHAHAHA! We met them in our ward and have since kicked it off with them very well. So, things are going well and we love doing activities with the Willmores' (both of whom are very good at basketball :) Wednesday night basketball has been one of the many activities that we enjoy with them. I think we enjoy it more when Chalyse scores 90% of the points on some dude who didn't want to guard her because she is a girl. Way funny.) Sometimes you make friends that you know will be lifetime friends (such is the case with the Mosmans and the Stellmons, my mom pointed out) and I think that we will be very good friends with Ryan and Chalyse for a very long time. They're great! We love 'em! :)

I don't even know what we have and haven't told you all... Aimee is working at Conservice and she LOVES it. She loves it so much that she has impressed some of the high rollers in the company and has been promoted twice in three months! GO AIMEE! She is currently the Assistant Team Lead (basically she is the Assistant to the Regional Manager ;)) and she really is liking her new duties. She stays very busy at work, which makes the day go by much faster than normally. She is awesome!

HAIL THE UTAH AGGIES! I was officially accepted to Utah State University last week and am VERY excited to try out the Sports Psychology program here at USU. I have heard that USU has a very good program for it so that is where I will start (with a minor in business) and we'll just have to see how I like things. I am hoping to only have two (three, tops) years left in school. It's fun and exciting to officially be an Aggie! Somehow I always knew that I would end up here. :)

Dan update: Dan is doing awesome in NY. He loves his mission and LOVES all the experience that he is getting. The mission truly has changed him and has made him a better person, more confident person. I have been actually writing him letters once a week to try and buffer his mail bag. Missionaries always love that. We're excited for his progress.

We are doing great and loving life! Summer is coming and we are so ready for all the outdoor activities that summer time will bring! Love you guys!

...Life...

For some reason it's still fun to keep a blog even though no one really looks at it and I hardly update it. Perhaps if I had a computer I'd update it more. Anyway, wow it's been a while. What's new with us? Well, I finally got a REAL job. The gym job was a JOKE! They never called me and....yeah....long story. So, anyways, now I'm working with a utility billing company called Conservice. I basically just process bills all day into the computer....so like a data entry type job. It definitely has its ups and downs. Maybe once I actually get better at it I'll like it more. I've definietly made my fair share of mistakes so far. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself but I get very bothered when I can't do something right.

John's still doing caterings. It's going well. I can't wait until he starts something else though. I just get sick of his late nights and being home alone at night...

Other than that, things are about the same. I'm tired of the cold weather. Maybe someday I'll see the sun again. But, what can you expect when living somewhere like Utah?

Today John and I went to watch Lily at her school. She's so funny. She got scared of a balloon and wanted to go home after that. Luckily for her it was time to leave so she didn't have to see the balloon anymore. Love that little tyke. Can't wait for their next one!

As they say in the great state of Texas: MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL

I hope everyone's holidays were just as awesome as mine were. Christmas Eve we had an interesting night though. After all of our festivities we were just hanging out at my mother-in-law, Carol's house and getting ready for Santa to come when suddenly the carbon monoxide (sp?) alarm went off. We sat wondering what to do for a while and then decided we should probably call 911 like it tells you to. So the police and fire department showed up and the reading of the air in the house was 22 parts per million (honestly no idea what that means) but it wasn't too good. So we went over to Jennie and Kaleb's for a while and then went back when the gas people showed up. They fixed everthing and we were ok, but a little scary for a bit there. It did give us a lot of respect for those guys though. They were so nice and didn't even seem upset that they had to come over at 10 p.m. on Christmas Eve. ;)

Christmas day was awesome. We all got to talk to John's brother Dan, who is on a mission in New York. He's doing great. John and I got some awesome gifts and we are just lovin' life! How could you not when you are married to such an adorable man who just treats you like a queen?

Well, that's about all I have. We'll leave it to John to add anything if he wants.
Loves! Merry Christmas, hope Santa left some goodies for everyone!!! ;)

Well...well...well...I think this is like only the second update I've written so here we go;) John and I have to speak in church tomorrow. Our topic is on "Building an Eternal Family". Fun, huh? We were supposed to speak last week but our ward missionaries wanted to so we had to wait a week, which in some ways was nice because we had our talks prepared a week in advance, but honestly I haven't thought much of it at all this week.

My sister-in-law, Jennie, let me burrow a book called A Thousand Splendid Suns. Let's just say that's all I did this week. It is SUCH a good book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for something good to read.

John's work is picking up. I hardly see him. It's NOT fun, but life goes on and some things have to happen. I still haven't started work, which has been hard. I am going to call them on Monday and if they still don't say I'm going to be starting anytime soon, I'll have to start up the job search again.

John's friend, Jackson, rented The Beatles Rockband so we've been playing that A LOT this week. LOTS of fun. Love that game.

I'm excited for Christmas. I am going to miss my family in TX but it's such a bitter sweet thing. It'll be great though, because I LOVE THE MOSMAN'S a lot.
