I have so much exciting news I don't even know where to start! I guess I will start with the most exciting of all....Emma's going to be a big sister!!!! You heard me right I'm pregnant! It seems so long waiting that it isn't true, but trust me it is. I found out on July 21st, three days before I was supposed to test, but I couldn't bare to wait any longer, and it was a positive, it was too good to be true that I took another test the next day just to make sure, and it was another positive so I know for sure. The baby is due the very end of March or very beginning of April, and I REFUSE to have this baby on April 1st, no if ands or buts about it. I'm feeling wonderful, which is a very pleasant surprise, with Emma I was sick for three weeks before I even got a positive pregnancy test, so to say I'm 4 1/2 to 5 weeks along and I'm not sick yet is wonderful! I know it's coming though, don't you worry.
Emma is convinced it's a baby brother, she even told me that she was going to have a baby brother before I found out I was pregnant, so it better be a boy or Neil and I will have a lot of explaining to do. She tells me all the time that she's going to be a big sister, I think she's more excited than I am about it. She's going to be the best big sister this world has ever seen.
On to more exciting news...on Monday Neil and I bought a new car! WOOHOO!!! We've been wanting one for a while but have been putting it off to build up our savings a little bit more, and it paid off. My only demand was that it had to have four wheel drive because I drive to and from Heber at least twice a week during the winter, and that canyon gets pretty scary, and so that's what we got. We purchased a Jeep Patriot, it's brand stinking new (something I didn't think we would be able to afford, but we apparently can), and I am in love with it, even though I haven't driven it much because the Hyundai gets such good gas mileage that we drive that instead of the Patriot to save money of gas.
So that's our good news for the week. We're loving life and waiting ever so patiently for baby number two to come into our family.

What's Going on in Our Lives?
So it's been over a month since we last posted and updated everyone on what is going on in our lives, so I will try to update everyone. We do have pictures but they are either on the other computer or on Neil's phone, so no pictures with this post, but hopefully next time.
June started off with Neil and mine's third anniversary, yes we have been married for three whole years. We didn't do a whole lot for our anniversary because we were planning on going down to Manti to do a session there because that's where we got married. But Neil did get me breakfast and roses, which was really sweet because we told each other we weren't going to get each other something for our anniversary. I still can't believe it's been three years. I wouldn't trade them for anything. We've been through so much together, and I can't wait to go through more with Neil. Manti was wonderful. I've never done a live session before so to be able to do that was amazing, we're already planning our next trip down there.
After our anniversary it was time for me to try artificial insemination. I was nervous to say the least, not really because I didn't know anything really about the procedure, but I was preparing myself for the roller coaster of emotions that were about to ensue. Well artificial insemination didn't work...this time. And sure enough it was a roller coaster ride. Excitement, anger, frustration, sadness, worry, etc. all came to visit me, and sometimes all in the same day. I found out for sure on June 24th that I am not pregnant, I cried for a few good hours that day. But all is well and we'll keep trying until something works.
Emma's been loving summer. All we do lately is play outside with all the neighbor kids. I actually love being out there too, it's so relaxing...most of the time. I don't want winter to ever come back, there is so much more to do during summer. Emma has been little miss chatter box lately, I can't get her to be quiet for more than a few minutes, but I love hearing her talk and tell me step-by-step what happened during her day. She's so fun.
The fourth of July was fun this year because Emma was so animated about the fireworks. She kept saying, "WOW!", "MOMMY! FIREWORTS!!!", and she couldn't stop laughing every time one would go off. I was just glad she wasn't scared of them.
Well that's pretty much the low-down of our lives so far this summer. I don't ever want it to end, but on the same note I can't wait to start school again, I'm missing it so much. I'm trying to enjoy every day though. Neil's been sleeping through most of the summer. I feel bad for him and I know he hates it too. This too shall pass.
