Twilight and Turkey Bowl


We had a pretty busy weekend. On Saturday morning we went to our wards annual Turkey Bowl. It was a lot of fun to get out there and play some real football. My team won, but that was to be expected with me on the team! My body is not what it used to be though,I'm alot slower and I cant jump very high, but we still managed to pull out a W. Since the game I have been in alot of pain, I could barely move the next day, I guess it shows how often I go to the gym.
Saturday afternoon my cousin Hillary Anderson got married. I really enjoy going to weddings, its just a great atomsphere. She looked beautiful and happy, we wish you the best of luck Hill. After the reception Amelia and I split up, she went with the girls to see twilight and the boys and I went to watch The Blind Side.
Sunday we listened to two of Amelia's friends report on their missions. They are twins and both served in Brazil. Amelia says they are still they same boys she knew when she was young, but they have become much closer to the Lord and have really grown up. It was really fun for her to see them again.

5 down, a lot more to go!


Amelia and I went to the Ogden temple last night. It was the first time that we have been to that temple since we moved here. It is the 5th temple that we have attended together, hopefully that number will grow as time goes on. It had been around two or so months since we had been to the temple and it was so nice to go back. I always have the most peaceful feelings in the temple, I wish that feeling was always with me. The temple has had a great impact on me and Amelia, it was there when Amelia first started to fall in love with me :) After a nice romantic dinner and watching people and the institute we decided to go for a walk, We decided the temple grounds would be a nice destination. When we arrived at the Logan temple we went over to the fountain where we could sit and talk. I do not remember what I was saying, but whatever it was Amelia could not stop laughing. Occasionally I would go in for a kiss and she would start giggling and it wouldn't be the smoothest kisses we have shared. All the old people that came out of temple would stare at us and smile, they were probably reminded of their young courting days. Amelia kept saying how she really liked me(she was too scared to say I love you at this point). To date, this is still one of our most fondest memories in our relationship. Though there was nothing spectacular planned for the date, it turned out to be something that neither of us will forget. Hurray for the temple!!!!

What's cookin'?

A BABY!!! I'm 9 weeks pregnant, Paul and I are SO excited! We had our first ultrasound yesterday and our little baby has already developed some mucsle, it even did a little dance for us. It was so amazing to see, we even got to see the heart beating. In four weeks when we go again we'll actually get to hear the heartbeat. I'm due June 7th and we'll find out the gender about the middle of January (too bad that's right after christmas;)
I just took a picture of the ultrasound so I hope you can pick the baby out, it has a big head and little circles as arms and legs, on the upper left part of the picture. It looks like a little teddy grahm.

I realize that my tummy is not that big because of the baby...more likely my weight gain, unfortunately. I'm constantly hungry and our groceries are going quick. I haven't even been sick which is great!
