BOY!!!

Ultrasound

I had my ultrasound yesterday. The ultrasound tech didnt say much so I have to wait til my next doctor's appt to find out anything. It looked like the baby was in a good position to see if its a boy or girl but I couldnt tell.

New Edition

WE ARE EXPECTING!!!!!
Baby Gibblet is due to arrive May 4.
We are both very excited. Brandon is convinced we are having a boy.
I am having an ultrasound on Dec. 10 so we will just have to wait and see.

Its been a while......

So I have been in the land of the maple leaves for 4 months now. I cannot work because I have no status in Canada and I need a work visa which I cannot get unless I have a job first. So people always ask what do I do all day? Answer- nothing.
Last year at this time I was working over time and going to school almost full time and all I wanted was to have nothing to do. Well I got my wish.
I have taken a few small trips.
Brandon and I went to Glacier National Park in August.
In September I went to Ohio to visit my sister Molly.
Then I went with Brandon on a business trip to Saskatchewan. In October I went to Kalispell for a girls weekend with my in-laws which was lots of fun. My cousin Heather had a baby girl so I went to Utah to visit her a couple weeks ago.

Update

We are moving! Brandon got a job as an agronomist in Cardston, Alberta and we are moving to his hometown of Hill Spring. Brandon has actually been in Canada all summer but I am moving July 11 to join him.

It's Official

Brandon is officially an U.S. citizen. We went to Bosie yesterday to the immigration office and Brandon was sworn in along with 50 other people. We are both so excited because it took a lot of paperwork and money to get it.

Happy Birthday Brandon!!!

Family Pictures

Of course Brandon wanted some pictures with farm equipement.

Cute couple!

So Brandon and I had his friend take some family pictures of us. When I told people we were getting family pictures they would laugh and say they would look just like engagement pictures. I told Brandon's friend to make the pictures not look like engagment pictures. After a couple shots he was like "uhh, I really don't know how". I thought that was really funny. Well Brandon and I had fun taking the pictures and I think some of them turned out really well. Now I need to hurry and get some printed and framed. I really want to make a picture collage with some of the pictures.

My grandparents

So I went to Colorado to visit my grandparents. I went because my grandma had surgery on her hand and I wanted to help out. I was only going to stay a week but while I was there my grandpa ended up having surgery because he had a bladder stone so I decided I should stay an extra week to help out. I haven't seen my grandma or grandpa in a couple years so it was nice to go and visit and it was nice to take it easy for a little while. So this picture I took on my phone without telling them I was taking it.

Blanket

So I took care of an older guy at work and got to know him and his wife and they were a lot of fun to talk to. For some reason they thought I was great even though I accidentally sprayed IV fluid all over him. (Ooops!) Luckily he was really nice about it. Anyway, the wife was making a baby blanket and I was talking to her about it and she said she wanted to give it to me. I told her I couldn't take it but she insisted when she finished it she would give it to me. I took care of this patient for a couple days in a row but by the time he was discharged the blanket wasn't finished. I told the wife not to worry about it but she insisted she would drop if off when it was done. Well, when I went to work this week the blanket was there. I was suprised and I thought it was very nice that she really gave it to me. I guess I should spray more of my patients with fluid.

We did it!!!!

So Brandon and I finally graduated! I was so excited that we were able to graduate together. I had hoped we would graduate together and then Brandon decided maybe he would go summer semester. I kind of put my foot down and basically told Brandon that he had to finish in one semester. He took 23 credits this semester to graduate and that was a lot of work for him but he did it and everything worked out. School is not Brandon's favorite thing, in fact he has only been going one semester a year but I am glad he finally finished. I am so proud of him especially since he is the first one in his family to get a bachelors. I think that is a huge accomplishment. I graduated with my first associate degree back in 2004 then I got my RN degree last spring (2008) and have been working full time as a nurse and taking BSN classes. I graduated with my BSN and I am so glad I am done because I so sick of school. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all of my free time!

I love my husband!

So this year for my birthday Brandon got me a picture of the Cardston Temple that his friend took and had it framed. I had no idea I was going to get this for my birthday and I was very excited.

Brandon is currently taking 21 credits in School, he is taking; chem 101, range ecology, agricultural marketing, crop physioligy, leaders in ag, Religion 215, intro to visual art. I know it is crazy!!! But it's gotta be done. I am currently going to School part time, and working as a nurse full time at the Rexburg Madison hopsital. I am enjoying being Brandon's "sugar momma". We are both graduating with Bacheloers in April, Brandon will have a B.S. in Agricultural plant and soil science, and I will have a B.S. in Nursing. We are both so excited to be done school!!! Currently we are planning on moving back up to Canada where Brandon is from. He is purchasing a farm up there, and is going into farming with a friend of his as well. So he will be farming at two places about 7 hrs apart. We are excited for this change in life, and really nervous about as well. We will be apart in the summer, Brandon is going up to Canada to farm, and I am going to stay down here and work, I will be moving up when I get my Canadian nursing license and my immigration stuff.
