It's a girl!!! :D

So yesterday we went to the doctor for a check up and for our 20 week ultrasound!! We found out that our little one will be a little girl!! We will be naming her Amilee Grace and she will be here in December. We are really excited. Samuel knew all along that it was a girl. He said he had dreams about her. You know, its funny to think about, but I feel so young having a baby and all, but now that I think about it, I am following in the footsteps of my mom. She was the same age when she got married and same age when she had a baby and same amount of time being married as well, or close to it. So it's fun.
Here are some ultrasound pictures!!!







We are very excited for the new addition to our family! She has a great family ready to love her and care for her forever as an eternal family!!

The last month or so has been busy. We have both been working a lot and we had a couple Sunday barbecues. I went up to school with Samuel a couple of weeks ago and we got to take some fun pictures in Salt Lake. We will be doing the same thing tomorrow too. I am really excited!!

We are about to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We don't have any official plans yet, but it seems like time has just flown by. It seems like yesterday that we were just getting engaged.

Samuel's mom, Jolene and family are coming to visit in a couple of weeks. I love spending time with them. We miss them. We miss all our family and wish we could be closer!!!

I think that's it for now. We are just enjoying life and are excited to buy baby stuff!!! :D

Oh the summer

So it has been a long time. I am a horrible blogger, but I guess things have been kind of busy. I haven't written since March, so I guess I can do an update month by month because a lot of things have happened.
Let's start with April
Samuel's parents came to visit the first week of April because Steve (Samuel's step dad)'s son Trevor and his wife had a beautiful baby girl, Abagail. We got to spend a lot of time with them. Jolene, Katie and I had girls' night during the priesthood session of conference and we ate at Goodwood and went to see The Knowing. It was really fun. My play for New Play Project also showed that week. The whole family came opening night and we went out for pie afterwards. We had some family dinners and that was nice. Samuel and I both finished up finals for winter semester and we were excited for a fun summer and a nice little break. We also found out that I was pregnant, and not doing too good, so April was a rough month for us.
In May, we moved to Samuel's Grandpa Bezzant's basement. We love it here. It is beautiful. I celebrated my 20th birthday and had a little get together and that was really fun. We haven't done too much this month except work a lot and have some family get togethers. One of the many good things about living at grandpa's is that we get to see the family a lot and that is really nice. At the end of the month, we went to the doctor and heard the heart beat of the baby and that was pretty exciting. We also got ready for our trip to Texas for Chris' graduation from high school.
June started with our trip to Texas. We loved being there. We did a lot. One of the high lights of the trip was the No Doubt concert. They played with Paramore and I love both of them. I have been a fan of No Doubt for a very long time and I wanted to see them in Utah, but things didn't work, so it was sweet getting to see them at home. They put on an awesome show. We saw a lot of friends and family and that was fun. We ate at some sweet restaurants since Utah Valley doesn't really have too much. It's sad actually. There are so many things they are missing out on without the restaurants. Graduation was fun. I can't believe my little brother is 18 and done with high school. It seems weird. But it is also weird that I have been married almost a year and I am pregnant. Man, how things change. On the way home, we were told that Samuel's cousin Kristan had died, so that slightly dampened our trip home. But we were still excited because we knew that Jolene was here because Katie was at EFY this week. Despite the rough circumstances, we still did a lot with Jolene. She bought us a ton of stuff for food storage and that was way sweet. We are really excited about that. I got to meet people in the family that I had yet to meet. The viewing was Friday night and Saturday morning and then Saturday at noon was funeral. The viewing was hard for me; I don't do too good with things like that. But the funeral was very beautiful. The spirit was there to help ease the pain and start the grieving process. It was very nice. It was nice having family here. We had a full house for a little bit. Next week, I go to the doctor for another baby check-up, so more news to come.
But that's a good update for now.

Oh how time flies

Wow, I feel like I never get on here, and maybe I don't. Life is just busy. School is difficult along with work and church and trying to spend time together. We love it, but oh man, it is busy. I don't think anything too new has happened. We are just enjoying school. Samuel was pretty sick this last week, and still is not feeling all the way better. He needs to get more sleep, which seems impossible. I just have a little cold, so it is not as bad as Samuel has been feeling.
For the next month ish, I will be an assistand director for the New Play Project. It's this program in Provo for amateur play writes and actors and directors. It is all volunteer. The plays are awesome, the actors are great, and the directors are inspired. And I was just chosen as an assistant director. I start that tomorrow. I am really excited. I think this is something I will really like doing.
Friday is a really special day for us. My old roommate and best friend, Kasey, is getting married inthe Jordan River temple. I am really excited for her!! We can't wait. We are also going to the Draper temple open house, and we are excited to see the new temple also. I am also going to the doctor to get my knee looked at because it is not doing too good!! Pray that it is not surgery.
The weather has been way nice here lately. The last few days have been in the seventy's. I love it. However, we are supposed to be getting this crazy storm tomorrow and continued through this weekend, so that is no bueno. Provo has a weird winter-spring transition. It can't quite make up it's mind on what it really wants.
We are doing really well, just stressed a bit, but we love each other and we are doing what's right, so that helps. We love all of you!! Happy Wishes!!

Winter semester so far

Sorry, it has been a while! We have just been busy with Christmas and school!! Christmas was really nice. Sam's mom and step dad and sister came to Provo, so we got to spend a few days with them. For Christmas eve and Christmas, we went to my grandparents in Idaho, and got to spend some nice time with them. We made out pretty good for our First Christmas and we really enjoyed making and creating our own traditions.
Samuel and I are both doing school this semester and working about thirty hours each. Samuel goes to LDSBC and takes a bus every morning at 5. It's really really, but he loves it. He loves his school. I love school too. It is a lot of reading, but I do love it. I have some really good teachers! We bought a new computer today! We are really excited about it.

There is more to write, but this will be continued later!

Our First Thanksgiving!! :D

So we took a little vacation this week for our first Thanksgiving together. We went to Northern California to the the Hood-Bezzant cabin off of Lake Almanor, near Chester and Susanville. We left Tuesday afternoon to head up there and got there around one in the morning. We went immediately to sleep and crashed. But as soon as the sun was up Wednesday morning, we were awake. Samuel's mom, Jolene, was up cooking breakfast for everyone. We ate and then got ready for the day. Then we started cooking food for Thanksgiving. We made some pies, stuffing, and a few other things. We played some games, ate lunch and dinner, and just enjoyed the family together. Steve, Jolene's husband, and John, Samuel's brother, had been fishing all morning and brought home a couple of fish to eat. I heard they were pretty tasty. But I didn't eat them. We watched Wall-E that night. I liked it, but I thought it was very political, but still a good movie.
Thursday morning, we woke up and started getting things ready for Thanksgiving and more family started to arrive. Dan (Jolene's brother) and Susan and their kids came and Mark and Julie (Jolene's sister) and their kids were also present, along with their cute dog. I loved playing with their dog, since I haven't seen mine in a while. We had appetizers during the day, and then had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner. It is a cabin tradition to have Martenelli's with dinner, so that's what we had. After dinner, we played more games, took naps, and just kind of did whatever for the rest of the night. Before bed, we ate pie and played more games and then headed off to sleep.
Friday morning, we got up and Dan had started making some french toast for breakfast. We then got ready to go up into the forest to cut down our Christmas tree. (another cabin tradition). Jolene also made rice krispie trees that were green and had red hots. They were perfect for the occasion. :D After returning home, we played games, ate, watched some football and got ready to go into Chester. The day after Thanksgiving, Chester does a thing like trick or treating through the stores and you get free food and also a parade. We were in the parade this year. It was actually kind of fun, even though, we were slightly dreading it. We went into a few stores and got cider, peppermint ice cream, meatballs, cookies, etc. It was fun, but we were ready to go home and play some games. We played a lot of games. We then packed that night because we were heading to Rocklin, near Sacramento, the next morning.
Saturday morning, we said bye to everyone and headed to Rocklin, where Sam's dad, John lives. We went over to Glen's house (John's brother) for a really good lunch. Everything was awesome. We also played the Wii and the Wii fit. I really liked the Wii fit. We might invest in one. They were really fun. John's brothers and sisters all chipped and bought each of the couples some really nice casserole dishes, since they couldn't attend our weddings. They were really nice. We then went back to Sam's dad house and looked at pictures of the boys when they were little, played more games, and ate dinner. We stayed in a hotel that night and Sam's little sisters and Suz, (his step mom) made us some little gift baskets. They are so thoughtful.
Sunday morning, we woke up, went to Sacrament meeting, and then headed home. We got home around 9:30, so not too bad. As fun as our trip was, I was still looking forward to heading home. I wanted to sleep in my own bed. I really enjoyed the trip. I enjoyed getting to know more family and getting to meet more family. It was a lot of fun. We are decorating our tree tonight, so I will get pictures up very soon!! Lots of love!! and Happy Holidays!!

Our first blog

So we have decided to start blogging! We are loving life. We are both working at the Training Table Restaurant again, where Sam has become a manager. It's a good life. We are getting ready to go and spend some time with Samuel's family for Thanksgiving in California. We are really excited because this semester has been very long. So far, we are loving being married. We have a lot of fun together. We both cook a lot. And try to spend as much time together, since we are both really busy. We usually go to the temple on Tuesdays, and we have started on our Food Storage. We are pretty excited about getting that started. We have been called as the chairs of the Acitivities Committees in our ward and right now, we are working on our ward's Christmas party. I think it will go well. We are getting to know more people and meeting friends! And overall, life is going well!! We love it!
