Our New Addition
For the past couple of months Austin has been looking at Digital Piano's to buy online, and we finally found one. We found one on Amazon, which was sweet because the listed price was around $1400.00, and we found it for $630.00 (plus free shipping). When we got it, as weird as this sounds I felt like it added so much to our apt. like it was a home now, and I don't even play. However I would love to learn. Austin has been playing tonz, and it has just been awesome. My favorite part is that when we got it, it had a broken speaker, so they refunded us $120.00. Then Austin and Jack got out their little soldering iron and fixed it that night.

14 Weeks
So to our very fun surprise, at our first doctors appt. on Thursday we found out we are 14 weeks along, not 11 :) We thought this baby was just a super good swimmer and all and we'd have the next Michael Phelps in our family, by swimming through birth control. But no, looks like after this appt. that the one time we weren't so careful.....worked.....and whalah, we have a baby!
This doctors appt was the neatest, coolest experience I could have ever hoped for. I have seen dozens of ultrasound pictures of other babies, but when that doctor put the gadget thingy up to my belly and I saw that baby, oh my goodness, I can not even describe how incredible that was. It was AMAZING. I couldn't believe it's amazing little hands and feet (that got me the most), and to see it's heart beating. The doctor immediately looked at Austin and said "Look what you did to her..(smile)" We could even see it yawning. I could not believe it. Doctor Holmes said, "So you guys think you are 11 weeks along huh?" "Yeah we think," "No, you're a lot farther than that" He measured and then said, yep, 14 weeks. Due October 26th. (Which is so awesome because I am due on Austin's dad's B-day, and Nicole is due on My dad's B-day). The whole day I could not stop smiling. I loved watching Austin look at the Ultrasound too. It was just so so so cool. Dr. Holmes also said if he had to guess he would say he saw a little pee pee (yes, using those words). So WE ARE STOKED! Best day ever. I just can't believe how amazing that little miracle is. So I left knowing I had a lemon instead of a plum inside me :) Anyway, good times. He was the cutest little thing, with the cutest little belly and just oh man, it was AWESOME!

A New Announcement
This past week I've had such an urge to write some things down, which I consider a good thing since normally recording my life in writing or typing usually seems like a burden. I need to decide how to document things, whether I do it in a journal, on a blog, etc...there are too many ways to do it, and it would be nice to do it just in one spot...Either way...I am 11 weeks pregnant in two days :) It's been so fun already, despite the morning sickness, but I am really excited! (Which also is surprising, because I didn't think I'd really ever feel excited about the idea of a baby). But it's been so fun, and already amazing to see how it grows and develops. Today it's the size of Kumquat, and already has all of it's vital organs developing. It's just sooooo crazy that this thing is INSIDE ME! Thursday we get to hear it's (his, according to Austin) heartbeat too!! Another fun thing is that so many of my friends are pregnant right now too. This age I've decided is a time when lots of people have kiddies, because most people my age have already started their famililes, but not old enough to be done. Anyway, I am just amazed at this little creation, and I want to document more on my pregnancy and how things are going so I can remember. Whether it be here or in a journal, not sure, but somewhere. Anyway, the end. Love you baby.

Trying to Learn my new toy...
New Year for the Cooks
Hello There. This year has already brought some fun and exciting events. One, skipping out on work to go boarding at the Canyons, and being sore for 3 days after. Austin started P90X, and I am training for the Moab Relay on May 14th, and still trying to talk Austin into doing it with me :) We just got a Canon 7D which I am so excited about to do some more video editing, and maybe I'll learn some photography too. Austin wouldn't let me buy it until we had cash to do it, so we almost did it. Just had to borrow a teeny bit from my student loan, but I'm glad he made me wait :) and Mom asked me if I wanted to take a cake decorating class and it's been so much fun, even though my frosting flowers don't look quite like flowers yet. Anyway life is good, and we've grown lots closer through challenges and fun experiences, and I continue to be a crazy emotional girl at times. Right now we are watching American Idol, and the Office and I would have to say the Office is just GREAT! This is what Austin says to the blog: "Leave me alone I am watching The Office." I should post some pics or somethin....

Merry Christmas
Wow! It has been such a fun Holiday Season so far! I've got to talk Austin into getting a "real" tree, which has been awesome (and it hasn't died yet either!) It's been so much fun to Christmas shop this year, and I think it all has to do with us having our first Christmas together in our own place which is fun too. Christmas is just a fun time of year. Tomorrow we're going to see David Archuletta Christmas concert and that will be awesome, yay! (Thanks Grandma for the tickets) Austin's the best, I love him tons!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, I surely am good at updating the blog...but were just married with no kids..so who really wants to hear about that..but if you do, here you go :) Thanksgiving was yesterday and we spent it with Austin's family and cousins, wayyyyyy fun! Then tonight we had a dinner and birthday party for my Grandma, at my dad's house (we found out after driving all the way to my grandma's house first, better read my texts more thoroughly next time). Good times!!
Ok, I have been mean and ungrateful so it's time I write some things I am grateful for: Mom and Dad, so much, they are amazing; Austin and how he loves me; Austin and his goodness; Austin and his logic; Austin and how he deals with money; Austin and how he makes me laugh; my family and brothers and sisters including my amazing in-laws that my brother and sister married, and that I married into, they've made me feel like such a part of their family and I am so grateful for that; my amazing friends and that I got to see Haley and Candice (who live far away) just in the last week; my friends that I've made in middle school and I'm still best friends with, well of my friends; my cute apartment that we found; my job it's perfect right now; the fact that I haven't killed my husband with my cooking yet, and the fact that I am learning to cook; that I did Acclamation (believe me, I wanted to quit a lot of times) so I could meet Austin; that my car still works; that I got to meet Jeffrey R. Holland today and shake hands with him and get a picture. He was so friendly and soooo nice; I am grateful for divine positioning; sooooo grateful I went on a mission and met the people I did, they are some of my best friends that I hold dear to my heart; the fact that Heavenly Father looks out for me; for the gospel and tender mercies of my wonderful savior; and so on and so on.
Sometimes I just forget to be grateful, yet there are more blessings than I can really count. I love Austin and am so grateful for my family. I am grateful for the atonement too. Since it's been over a year and half since I've written in a journal, I knew the most likely way for me to really get this out of my mind would actually be to type instead of write it. Thanks for reading if you're still reading. I am happy I could at least for a moment see the tender mercies and blessings that we are so overwhelmed with. Have a good night Krissi! I usually sign off to myself in a journal too.
