Back to life, a new life

-









Hello again! We are now settled back in Rexburg, Idaho in our very nice new apartment in Hyde Park. Today is the first day of school for Roberto and the first day for me and Samuel home together. This is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.
It is crazy to think that months have passed and we are back in Idaho. Our time in Salt Lake was well spent. It was great to be there with so many things happening for our family. I was able to see my brother Daniel leave on a mission, the first to do so in our family. What a great experience that was. I am so proud of him. I also got to celebrate my father's 50th birthday with our family and friends. We threw a surprise party for him, it was great! And of course to top it all off, I was able to have my first baby right there with my family with me. My parents are so proud to be called grandparents now. I love them so much and am so grateful for their love and support.

So now here I am, a mom. Whoa. It's crazy to think about it, but I definitely believe it. I love my beautiful boy Samuel. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for giving me this great blessing and responsibility. It is amazing how fast the bond is made between mother and child. I would give anything for my son. He is worth it all.
I am looking forward to all the wonderful memories we will have together. He has already brought so much happiness to our lives. I can't imagine life without him. :)

Hello there to all our family and friends. This is our first blog and we are excited to join all you bloggers out there! Since this is the first post, I thought I would just give a quick summary of our life right now. Roberto and I are currently in Rexburg, Idaho where we are both attending BYU-Idaho. This time of year we are off from school, so Roberto is working, doing landscaping and taking two night classes and I am looking for a job. We have been married for a little over a year and we are loving every moment together. Looking for a job in Rexburg has been tough (I've been looking since July), but in the mean time it has been a great opportunity for me to learn and grow from those around me. Recently I was able to find a temporary position for someone handing out flyers for their new website. Their paying me $50 bucks to do it! So I'm glad it's something. Other than that, I usually visit other people who are home all day, so if you want company, let me know! :) Roberto...

Hey! It's been a while, I know. We have been super busy with school and I also got to that point where I felt like I don't have anything exciting to post about. But then I remembered-its a blog and I can post about WHATEVER I want! So here I go writing another post just because. So school is just about done! We are in the last week before finals and its CRUNCH TIME. I can't believe how much time has passed by. Roberto will be done with his GE requirements after this semester and next semester will be my last semester on campus! I have received my placement for Student Teaching this fall in Salt Lake City. Its so CRAZY how fast it all goes by, hopefully all will go as planned and I will be a college graduate in December! :) I will keep you all updated as time goes on. I am SO looking forward to the break after this semester is done. We will be leaving to go to Salt Lake to play with family!! I don't know what it is, maybe I'm just not used to being in such a small t...

Whoa. That's unbelievable. Am I really that close to having a baby, becoming a Mom and changing my life forever? YES! :) It really is so amazing to be on this journey of pregnancy. Every time I feel this baby take up even more space inside of me, I awe in amazement. I am so grateful for this miracle. I'm sure I'll be in even more awe after I actually have my baby. Things have been pretty good. I was so glad when I passed my second glucose test. I don't wish that lousy test for anyone. I was so proud of myself for not puking when I totally felt like I was going to. I just forced myself to take deep breaths and look up and I overcame! There was no way I was going to drink another one of those things after 2 hours of waiting. Ha! Anyway, it was an experience I will never forget. I'm just glad I don't have a phobia of needles. Sheesh. Other than that, the baby has been measuring the way he should and his heartbeat has been great every time I've been to the docto...
