We must have been really good this year!!!

We are both super excited and can't even stand it! We know we couldn't have gotten here without everyone's love, prayers, thoughts, fasting, etc! We love and appreciate everyone! THANKS A TON!! It means a lot and we are so blessed to be able to be parents!
I am almost 12 weeks and haven't really been sick. I did throw up once, but I think I had the flu! The triple dosage of CLOMID, the throwing up at Maddox, and the hot flashes and headaches was all worth it!!! I have been so stinkin' tired and can't get through a 10 hour day of work without a nap on my breaks!
It was so much fun to tell everyone and everyone was so impressed that we kept it secret for so long! I am not a secret keeper, so it was especially hard for me and I kept begging Brandon to let me just tell ONE person, but he said to keep telling him (not as fun..cus he already knew). I did good and didn't tell ONE person untill Christmas Eve. I guess it helped that we didn't know untill 6 weeks either! :) I have lied a lot.. sorry to all of those who I have lied to...I had to keep it secret! :)

Desi.. I know that you will see this and you will be the only one at work that knows, so SHHHHH... I am planning on telling everyone at the next meeting!! :)

Oh, and I will post Christmas pictures later.. We are too busy playing with one of our gifts that we absolutely LOVE!!! Thanks MOM AND DAD!!!

.....DONE.....

OH MY GOODNESS! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT CHRISTMAS IS SO CLOSE TO BEING HERE!! I CAN'T WAIT!!
Brandon and I both agreed that we would not be having a big Christmas this year. As we were talking abut it.. neither of us could even think of a thing that we wanted.. and we really don't have any money, so it worked out great! We have been SO SO blessed and I really couldn't ask for more than that!! I thought it would be so devastating, but I actually really am glad that we decided to only get one small gift and stockings for each other. It has helped us to focus a lot more on why we really celebrate Christmas and celebrate the wonderful traditions that we have. I think that I am finally DONE with my Christmas shopping..and Brandon is even done too.. usually he waits till Christmas Eve or a couple days before...crazy men!

Brandon finished up with his finals last week! His last one was a bugger, but he made it. This will be his LAST FINAL EVER!! HOORAY !!! I think that I am excited about it as he is! I was so excited about it and I wanted to do something for Brandon. I ran around to a couple stores on my lunch break and couldn't find a dang CONGRATS balloon, so I ended up making a stupid candy bar poster that was super cheesy.. but he LOVED it!

I am so sick of him always having to study!! Is that selfish? :) HE is officially FINISHED with his coursework. Bring on the two 8-week internships and the doctorate is COMPLETE!!! OH yeah... and then the licensure exam, but Brandon heard it wasn't too hard!! I can't wait and I know that Brandon can't either!! I know that in a few short months, I will be asking... Wait a minute, I wanted this? I am so ready for a change.. new job, new house, new area, new everything! :) Brandon will enjoy his break as this probably will be one of his last breaks ever.. oh, so sad!! When do I get mine!!?? :) haha!

I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!

I hope you are happy BYU!!!

AGH!! Of course they got their way.. "LET'S play on a neutral court so that we can win". Typical BYU!!! I think that BYU lost a lot of respect from a lot of neutral fans by doing this anyway.. so I hope it was worth it to them...stupid cougars! I guess everyone knows they were too whoosy to play us at home. You know dang well that if we would have played on our home court, we would have killed them!! At least we can feel good about the way we play and don't give cheap shots to win!! Within just a couple minutes.. they gave us a bloody nose and a cut above the eye!! Man.. aren't we "The Lord's school"and supposed to be saints? That is HARDLY the way they act/play!! It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they play DIRTY!!!

I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY STUPID BYU!!

Me and Brandon we dying laughing at these...

"Aren't Missions supposed to be 2 years?" (then list the players who served less, and the amount of time they served)

"Separated at birth?"

"Honor Code = Satan's Plan"

"Did Brigham Young Have a Beard Card?"

"Waste of Tithing"

"BYU: The Suckiest Bunch of Sucks that Ever Sucked!"

"Marriott Center = Large and Spacious Building"

"Rameumptum U - Alma 31:21"

"You can run from the Spectrum, but you can't hide from the Aggies!"

"Hard Liquor"

"Dave Rose voted against Prop 8"

"Lee, tell your wife to not beat me up, please"

"If a tree falls in a forest, and no one else is around...does Cummard hear it?"

"Jimmer is a stupid name"

"Hey Jonathan, Brazil called, they don't want you back!"

"Miles will kick a man when he's down" (Bogut reference)

"I saw Dave Rose kissing....Dick Harmon, underneath the mistletoe last night"

"Greg Wruebel and Mark Lyons broadcast pantless"

Enter to learn, go forth to condescend

If I owned Hell and Provo, I'd live in Hell and rent out Provo

And the best.....from a BYU player himself... "UTAH STATE FANS ARE MEAN!!"

ReLiEvEd...

Brandon presented his DoCtOrAtE project last Wednesday. He has put so much work into this and was so stressed over it and making sure that it was perfect and exactly what his professors would want. He said that I could come watch him. I was going to maybe go, but then as it got closer I think I was more nervous for him than he was for himself! :) I decided not to go and Brandon decided he didn't want me to go either ! :)
His professors said that he did an ExCeLlEnT job and they were very impressed with it and the information that he had. Brandon said that the Chair professor had a HuGe smile on his face!
I met Brandon for dinner after to CeLeBrAtE.. he would not stop saying how ReLiEvEd he was now that this was over! :) He still keeps saying it, just not as often! :) I feel relieved too that he doesn't have so much stress.
I am going to say it again..and it won't be the last..

I AM SO PROUD OF MY HUSBAND!!
