Life with Family
We went home for Easter and had Gram and Gramp Nessens yearly Easter fest with the fam it was super fun and the weather was perfect enough to enjoy time together for a while. Rays fam came a few weeks ago he went Golfing and Snowboarding in the same day with his brothers Tyrel and Keslin. Me, Elena, and Rays Mom went shopping and to Cafe Rio it was a blast! We also shared in the joy of Costco Muffins with Rays Mom she had never had them and LOVES them now. Who doesn't Love Costco. Then last weekend we went home again for Family Pics check them out on Ashs blog LOVE AMANDA she's the best! We had so much fun staying with Ash and seeing the fam LOVE THEM! My Siblings and their spouces I would DIE without them I have the BEST SISTER and BROTHERS in the WORLD!
Life with Church
I went to a fireside a few weeks ago with the youth it was SOOO GOOOD!! The speaker talked about media and how attached we are and how advanced the world has become because of it... he was talking to our youth about when he was a youth (so were we) that the internet was brand new... Ipods were unheard of and cell phones were for emergencies. All of the youth were shocked.... that we ever lived without the technology that they have today and it has not been that long at all... anyway the whole point of his lesson was to be careful about how much time we spend surfing the net or becoming dependant on the internet. He mentioned specifically Facebook.... I seriously am ADDICTED to facebook I LOVE IT!! And I LOVE BLOGS it is a way to help me catch up on everyones lives and stay connected I think it is AWESOME! But I also feel that I spend a little too much of the time given to me on things that will always be there and not enough doing what will bring me closer to my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. Sometimes I get so distracted by all the things of the world that I forget the real reason we are here. Which the speaker said could be summed up in 4 words he said our whole purpose here is "To Become Like God" It is true so I am trying to spend a lot less time on Facebook and blogging not that I blog that much anyway but I do LOVE following up on others blogs! I just need to refocus my efforts on being better and doing things that will make a difference in the lives of others. Anyway personal commitment to spend a little less time on the computer and a little more time basking in the beauty of spring and blessing the lives of others.
Life with Friends
Ray and I both feel so blessed to have such GREAT friends! We are so lucky to have great couples to spend our time with that we can laugh with and play with and just be us with no reservations. I went out with some of my girlfriends for Dinner and we had a BLAST!!! We laughed for 2 hours and talked about live and marriage and kids and birthdays and everything you can think of I LOVE THOSE GIRLS (you know who you are)I haven't laughed so hard in I can't remember the last time. We also went to Red Robin a few weeks ago with Shelley and JL they were in AZ forever it seemed and WE LOVE THEM had a great time! On the way out the door we bumped into our friend Anna who I have not seen in way too long she is AMAZING, GEORGOUS, and TALENTED all in one little body! It was so good to see her whoever gets her will be so lucky she is a real catch! Also our darling friend Niki just bought a house and we helped her move in she is AMAZING just graduated from nursing school and always a ray of sunshine she gives and gives and gives completely unselfish! (also real catch for anyone who gets her!) I wish we could talk about all of our freinds we love so much but it would make this post even longer! So Ray and I discussed how blessed we are to live here and be surrounded by people we love! It will be hard to leave when the time comes because of people we love so much! WE LOVE YOU shout out to all of our friends thanks for being so GREAT! last but not least...
Life with a Baby Bump
We had another ultrasound Tuesday April 28th (we're lucky he wouldn't turn the first time so we got to see him again) He is getting SO BIG I swear every day my tummy grows an inch! He weighed in at 1lb 4oz and is growing like a weed! We are getting so excitied to meet him and I've graduated from chubby bump to baby bump :) Most people can now tell that I am not just chubby but preggy!
This was at Family Pics just a week ago and he is already bigger now :) For more fam pics check out Ashs blog
Just a side note I have tried to post this 3 times and blogger hasn't let me so we are now almost 24 weeks and he is kicking like crazy. Ray felt him for the first time last night it was AWESOME!!
That is April in a nutshell till next time thanks for reading sorry it so long and thanks for blessing our lives WE LOVE YOU!!
