A couple weeks before Christmas we had an ultrasound and found out that we are going to have a little girl! We got cute little ornaments to give to our parents and grandparents to open for Christmas and it was to see everyone's reaction to the news. We have already gotten some cute girlie stuff for Christmas and I can't wait to set up the nursery! Blake rolls his eyes at me and says that we can wait a couple more months to do that!

My 22nd Birthday

For my birthday we had some friends over to celebrate the night before and Blake was excited to make me a cake and even made the frosting from scratch (it really was delicious!). He even decorated and blew up some balloons! It was a lot of fun.




Luckily I didn't have to go to work on my birthday so I got to sleep in which was nice. And when Blake came home he surprised me with flowers! What a sweet husband i have!

The Lion King

The Lion King Broadway show came to Spokane this month and Blake being the sweet husband that he is got us tickets for my birthday. I was so excited to see it because I have heard that it is amazing. But man I have to say that it was more than amazing, it was incredible! The costumes were ridiculously awesome and the actors all had amazing voices. The lady who played Rafiki was my favorite. She would speak this African clicking language that was fun to listen to and she had the best voice. The actors all sounded like the movie characters too. I just was in awe! It was so much fun, thanks Blake for a fabulous birthday present!

Holiday Updates

Sorry that it has been a long time since I have posted. This past month has been crazy! Here are some Halloween pictures of our fabulous pumpkins. I unfortunately do not inherit the Morgan genes of picture taking so i didn't get any pictures of us dressed up for Halloween. We decided to take the easy route and used Blake's old baseball stuff and dressed up as baseball players. Our friends Jake and Trisha had a super fun Halloween party that involved fabulous food and fun games. Blake even got brave and did bobbing for apples. It was way fun but I feel bad that I didn't take any pictures! Sorry! Then for Thanksgiving we went had it at another student's house with 5 other couples and the food was great. I was in charge of the sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie(I even made the pie crust from scratch!) which everyone said turned out to be good (hopefully they were not lying!). It was hard being away from family but it's nice to know that we have good friends here!


This year I decided to try Capt'n Crunch

Blake's Darth Vador


I do have to say they look pretty amazing!

I'm Pregnant!

So if you haven't heard the big news Blake and I are expecting! We went into the doctor's on Friday October 9th and found out that I am due May 10th. We are so super excited! It is right in middle of Blake's finals so it's not perfect timing but what can you do? The nice thing is that if Blake gets a summer internship in Utah again this summer we will be able to spend that time with family and friends at home. We don't have any feelings on what it will be but would like to know what you think. Boy, or girl?!? Let us know!

Ione Train Ride

Well my mom and sister came to Spokane over conference weekend which was so fun. I had heard about this cool train ride that takes you through the country side so you can see the fall colors. So we called and got tickets and then looked up to see where it was and found out it was 2 hours away! Ha ha! But we decided to go anyway and it turned out to be pretty funny. It is was a 90 min train ride that ended at metaline falls which we thought was a waterfall but turned out to be this tiny town. Ha ha! It was a good one time experience.

Spokane Temple

On our way back to Spokane, Blake's family was able to drive up with us. It was so much fun to have them here. Unfortunately I had to start right back into work, so they had fun without me going to the lake and bowling! But we were able to go to the Spokane temple together and do baptisms which was awesome. Thanks for coming to visit, come back soon!

Boating

We had such a great summer! We went boating more than we ever have before and it was awesome. Thanks grandpa for letting us use the boat, and thanks dad for taking us!

Bubble Fun!

We have the cutest nieces and nephews ever! My parents had this bubble machine which they all loved. So we let them loose in the backyard and took some fun pictures.

Summer

Wow, the summer has already flown by! For those of you who don't know Blake was able to get an externship here in Utah for the summer at the downtown courthouse. He is loving that experience, and told me he could see himself working there in the future. It's hard to believe that he has already completed his first year of law school, but we still have two more years to go! Oh well I have come to the conclusion that you have to love the life you live now, instead of dreaming for the life you hope to have.
We have had an amazing summer so far. It's been a blast to be with our families and enjoy our nieces and nephews. They are growing up so fast! It will be hard to go back to Spokane when the time comes, but we have made a lot of good friends there and are excited to see them again.
