Oops!!

Last Monday I decided to be a good wife and cook dinner so I made taco soup. It was all done and Russ wasn't home yet so I left it on the stove and turned the stove to OFF. I then went upstairs to read. About an hour later my house smelled so I ran downstairs to find a kitchen FULL of smoke! I couldn't see a thing! The smoke took over my entire house!! Apparently instead of turning the stove to OFF, I had turned it to HIGH and had burned the soup for an hour! Needless to say this has been quite the week. I've been staying at my mom's house all week and have had to commute every morning! I don't know how commuters do it! I hate it!!! We've left our windows open as much as possible (but it's been snowing half the week!). It's Friday and our house still smells like smoke! We're trying EVERYTHING to get rid of it! In a couple days I'll have to wash ALL of our clothes cause they reek! Russ has been so good through it all and hasn't complained even though it's been alot of driving and cleaning and COLD (with the windows open) all week long. Let's just say, I will NEVER make taco soup again!!!

NERD!!!

My COMPREHENSIVE Exam is this coming February (over everything I've learned in the last four years!) and the national PRAXIS exam (for certification as a SLP) will be next semester or in the summer so I am officially a NERD!!

Russ is a NERD too but he's at SCHOOL so I couldn't take a picture of him!!

A REAL DATE!!

Russ and I are BORING and all we ever do it work and school. (Hence why I never blog!) We never have enough time to even see each other, let alone do anything fun! But this past Friday I didn't have work and Russ got done with work early so we went on a REAL DATE! We went to Logan and went to the temple, ate at Iron Gate Grill, went mini golfing in a mini golf place all decorated for Halloween, and finished the night with a caramel brownie shake from Charlies (the best shake ever!!). It was a MAGICAL evening! I loved being with my husbando all night and not having to think about school or work once!!

We tried to get the temple in the background but it didn't quite work!

There was construction at the temple and this was the sign they had up!!

I love life!

I know this is a really random post...especially for me but I've decided that there are alot of things I love right now and I decided to share a few...

1. I love my husband! He is such an incredible man and is so perfect for me! I love him more and more each day! I can't believe how lucky I am to be married to a man like him!

2. I also love the little guy in my stomach and love that I can feel him move around right now!

3. I love to read! Absolutely love it! I just finished (in a day) Shannon Hale's new book 'Book of a Thousand Days' and recently read 'River Secrets' and can't wait to read her new 'Forest Born'.

4. I love my job! I'm working at a new school this year with Kindergarteners and first graders. Of course some days are better than others but I love the little munchins I work with. They make it all worth it and always make my day. Kids are so dang cute!

5. I love that I can eat real food now! Instead of just toast like I have for the last four months! Of course I don't eat meals like this one all the time but looking at it doesn't make me gag anymore! Yeah!!

6. I love FALL! I have officially decided that it is my favorite holiday. I always knew I liked spring and fall the best because of the weather but I absolutely love fall! I love the weather, I love the leaves, I love how beautiful it is, I love the back to school feel, and I love the anticipation of the holidays!

Coming soon...

We're having a BABY!!! I'm due the end of January and just found out that we are having a BOY!! I was pretty nauseous for the first three-four months but I'm feeling GREAT now! We are so excited!!

Beck Family Fun!

We went to St. George and Vegas with my familia last week. We were only there two days but it was fun! We went swimming and hiking in St. George and in Vegas we went to Donny and Marie!! We were the youngest ones there by far but it was an entertaining show! Thanks Mama Sue!

One Year!

Russ and I have been married one year! It's been incredible and just gets better every day! I have the most amazing husband and I'm so grateful for all that he does for me and all that he has taught me. I love you Russ!
